Solution

The correct option is B Diabetes
Diabetes is a long term condition, that causes high blood sugar levels.
Insulin is required for carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. A high fat intake results in insulin resistance. Protein has a minimal effect on blood glucose levels with adequate insulin. With insulin deficiency, gluconeogenesis proceeds rapidly and contributes to an elevated blood glucose level.
