a. carbohydrates carbohydrate intake must be controlled in a diabetic

Carbohydrates

Explanation:

Insulin hormone lowers down blood sugar level by stimulating the cells (specifically liver cells, muscle cells and cells of adipose tissues) to take up the glucose present in the blood. Glucose is a simple sugar (carbohydrate). Diabetes is caused by hyposecretion of insulin from pancreas leading to higher blood glucose level. It is also caused when the cells do not respond to the presence of insulin in the blood. Hence, the doctor would monitor the glucose level of the patient.
