A client with Type I diabetes will be attending a family picnic and plans to eat 2 large (12-inch each) ears of corn with one TBSP of butter. The corn and butter would be counted as:
  1. 2 vegetable and 3 fat exchanges
  2. 2 starch and 2 fat exchanges
  3. 4 starch and 3 fat exchanges
  4. 3 starch and 3 fat exchanges
Explanation
Answer: C - Two 12-inch ears of corn and 1 TBSP of butter count as 4 starch and 3 fat exchanges. Corn is classified as a starch; 1 6-inch ear of corn = 1 starch exchange; 2 12-inch ears = 4 starch exchanges. One tsp of butter= 1 fat exchange; 1 TBSP butter = 3 fat exchanges.
