The last paragraphalso tells us that foods rich in carbohydrates and cooked foods cause blood glucose levels to rise. Thepassage is suggesting, therefore, that people with diabetes avoid eating too many carbohydratesbecause their blood glucose levels will be too high and they will be unable to process the glucose.Choice bis therefore incorrect, because the suggestion is to avoid extra carbohydrates.

While the last paragraph describes the recommendation that peoplewith diabetes should maintain a normal weight, it does not suggest that people with diabetes loseweight.
