A female client with newly diagnosed diabetes is 5'5" and weighs 212 pounds. Exam and laboratory values reveal the following: blood pressure level of 145/95 mm Hg, average fasting blood glucose of 150 mg/dl, average 2-hour postprandial glucose <200 mg/dl, and cholesterol of 250 mg/dl. What is the dietitian's most appropriate first intervention?
educate the client about carbohydrate counting

Patients who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may better tolerate diets in which fat, rather than carbohydrate, is the primary energy source, because oxidation of fat:
consumes less oxygen
Response Feedback:
The Respiratory quotient, or RQ< is the ratio of moles of CO2 produced to moles of 02 consumed:
RQ = moles C02 produced / moles 02 consumed
RQ for carbohydrates is 1, while that for fat and protein are 0.7 and 0.82, respectively. A mixed diet has an RQ of 0.85. Beta-oxidation of one fatty acid molecule produces fewer C02 molecules per 02 molecules used (16:23) as compared to metabolism of one molecule of glucose (6:6). A higher fat diet lowers the RQ and the respiratory burden on the patient. A patient with COPD would benefit from a higher proportion of energy from fat, as his or her overall C02 production would be lower, requiring less respiratory effort to eliminate it. [Show Less]
