Thomas is challenged by his friends to consume a large 1 Kg steak. While consuming the steak, he also consumes a fair amount of Cola. An hour after he completed the challenge, a blood sample is taken from which his average amino acid and glucose concentration is determined. His results show that his glucose concentration is above normal but his amino acid concentration is normal. Provide an explanation as to why his amino acid concentrations are normal and not also elevated even though he consumed a 1 Kg steak.
At Kate's next appointment, Paula showed Kate how to use a glucose meter. She instructed Kate to measure her blood glucose level twice a day before and after breakfast and dinner. Paula explains to Kate that her pre-meal blood glucose level should be 110 mg/dLmg/dL or less, and if it increases by more than 50 mg/dLmg/dL, she needs to lower the amount of carbohydrates she consumes.
Kate and Paula proceed to plan several meals. Because a meal should contain about 45 to 60 gg of carbohydrates, they combined fruits and vegetables that have high and low levels of carbohydrates in the same meal to stay within the recommended range. Kate and Paula also discuss the fact that complex carbohydrates in the body take longer to break down into glucose and, therefore, raise the blood sugar level more gradually.
Kate increased her exercise to walking 30 minutes twice a day. She began to change her diet by eating 6 small meals a day consisting of more fruits and vegetables without starch such as green…
