Practice Question
When teaching a client about foods that do not increase blood glucose, which should the nurse include?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Broccoli.
Rationale:
🔷 Broccoli is a non-starchy vegetable with a low glycemic index, meaning it has minimal impact on blood glucose levels.
🔷 It is rich in fiber, which slows glucose absorption and helps maintain stable blood sugar control.
🔷 Unlike corn, white bread, or baked beans, which are high in carbohydrates, broccoli provides essential vitamins and minerals without spiking glucose.
🔷 Including non-starchy vegetables in a diabetic diet supports better glycemic management.
🔷 It also contributes to overall cardiovascular and metabolic health in diabetic clients.
