Explain two pieces of dietary advice that might be given to someone suffering from type II diabetes.

(dietary recommendations needed) to reduce blood glucose levels as target/ body/muscle cells less sensitive to insulin / not enough insulin produced;
reduce intake of (saturated) fats, to reduce weight;
reduce the intake of sugar/simple carbohydrates, causes rapid increase in blood glucose concentration;
eat more high fibre foods, satisfy appetite, but cannot be broken down;
regular/many small meals, to avoid (rapid) rise in glucose after a big meal;
eat complex carbohydrates/carbohydrates with a low glycemic index, digested and absorbed more slowly;
To award the mark, answers require recommendation with a reason.

Part (b) on dietary advice for someone suffering from type II diabetes was a more discriminating question as many candidates could not explain the advice they were recommending.  No marks were awarded for a short list.
