2. Chronic illnesses require lifestyle changes..

Rationale:
Chronic illness is the client's response to the disease and, in this case, requires lifestyle changes so that the client does not succumb to the disease. Not all diabetics require medication to manage the illness. Diabetes is chronic, not acute. Depending on the client's response to the disease, the outcome may not become worse or lead to death.
