NTR 306 Study Guide - Final Guide: Gestational Diabetes, Digestion, Saturated Fat
Document Summary
Learning objectives: describe the major types of diabetes (type i, type ii, gestational); how they develop, how they differ, and how they are treated. Type 1 is less common, no insulin produced by the body. The immune system destroys beta cells of the pancreas so no insulin is produced. Type 2 is more common, fat cells resist insulin. Gestational diabetes: pregnant women who have never had diabetes before but have high blood sugar levels during pregnancy: identify the dietary strategies to manage type 1 diabetes. Optimal nutrition status: control blood glucose with consistent carbohydrate intake at meals/snacks, achieve desirable blood lipids, control blood pressure, prevent and treat complcations. Physical activities: identify the dietary strategies to prevent and treat type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetics should engage in regular, long term physical activities. Chapter 5 the lipids: triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols. Learning objectives: describe the structure of a triglyceride.
