Your mother is pre-diabetic, and her doctor has advised her to make some dietary and lifestyle modifications. List and explain your top three food/lifestyle recommendations, as well as how you would advise her to incorporate these into her daily routine.

Your current plan is to forgo breakfast and drink only two cups of coffee on Mother’s Day. For lunch, she has a bagel or a sandwich with deli meat. She eats a handful of chocolate wrapped almonds around 3 p.m. (since she’s heard almonds are good for you) and for supper, she normally either heats up a frozen entrée or eats spaghetti with jarred sauce. Her job is sedentary, so when she gets home, she either watches TV or reads.
