Lifestyle Modification and Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Thank you for sharing your observation. I agree that excess carbohydrates contribute to diabetes risk, but completely eliminating them might not be sustainable or healthy. Based on what we learned in this module, the goal should be balanced nutrition, not restriction. Complex carbohydrates such as whole grains e.g., millet, brown rice are actually beneficial because they provide fiber, which helps control blood sugar levels. As nurses, we can help educate our community on portion control and healthy food combinations instead of promoting total avoidance.
