Solution
Diabetes is a metabolic disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high, because in diabetes, your body either doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use it as well as it should leads too much of blood sugar stay in your bloodstream.
Complete answer:
To answer this question you must know about diabetes.
Diabetes is a metabolic chronic condition that causes higher than normal blood sugar levels. It occurs when body doesn’t make enough insulin. So avoid eating chocolate when blood sugar levels are already higher than the recommended blood sugar level, because chocolate contains a lot of sugar which can lead to serious problems but one can eat chocolate in very small quantities.
Secondly, the calorific content of chocolate is relatively high and therefore overconsumption of chocolates could lead to weight gain which also raises the risk of heart problems. For most people with diabetes, chocolate is best restricted to a few squares to prevent too much of an increase in sugar levels.
Thus the correct answer is option (A) you would not eat because you know harmful effects.
Note:-
A person with diabetes will understand the impact of factors such as food intake, exercise, stress and medication on blood glucose but for people with diabetes without weight problems, chocolate can be appropriate to have before exercising. In the last 20 years, the number of adults diagnosed with diabetes has more than doubled.
