a) "I skip lunch when I don't feel hungry.

Explanation:

As the client has diabetes and is taking glyburide daily to help his or her body with glucose levels, the person should not skip a meal because he or she can suffer from hypoglycemia due to the lack of glucose that comes from lunch, and to the reduction of glucose levels in the blood due to the medicine. The patient needs further teaching in not skipping meals and how risky this can be.
