Answer 1

Anita needs to switch to a diet low in fat and sugar and maintain an active lifestyle (OPTION - 2).

First of all , let's learn a few things about Diabetes Mellitus:

• Diabetes Mellitus is is genetic abnormality characterized by hyperglycemia (i.e. excess glucose in blood).

• Type 1 - DM is mainly caused due to lack of insulin in blood and Type 2 - DM is mainly caused due to insulin resistance in peripheral tissues.

• The classical triad symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus is Polyphagia , Polyuria , Polydipsia.

• It is also associated with diabetic KETO-ACIDOSIS due to increased metabolism of fat.

• It involves many organs like kidney , etc.

• Thats why , a person suffering from DM needs to follow a diet low in lipid and sugar and also needs to maintain an active life. He/she needs to do little exercise, stay happy , quit smoking , etc.
