D
The goals of exercise and nutrition therapy are to maintain as near-normal a blood glucose level as possible, achieve optimal serum lipid levels, provide adequate calories to maintain or attain a reasonable weight, to prevent complications of diabetes, and to improve overall health. Oral hypoglycemic agents are used to treat persons with type 2 diabetes that is not controlled with diet and exercise. These agents are meant to supplement diet and exercise, not replace them.
