A patient has diabetes, a disease that causes high blood sugar levels. Which macromolecule will a dietician monitor most closely in a patient that has the disease?

Carbohydrates are broken down into sugars, including glucose, which raises blood sugar. A dietician will therefore monitor carbohydrate intake most closely in a patient with diabetes. Lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins do not affect blood sugar in the same direct way.
