Your patient is overweight, with a BMI of 32, and you just informed them that they are "pre-diabetic". They want to talk with you about options for modifying their diet. You learn that your patient loves to cook. According to the "OARS" principle of motivational interviewing, which statement would be most appropriate?
a) "You love cooking, and you want to pursue a healthy diet. Would you like to explore options for healthy menu choices?"
b) "You love to cook, but now you are "pre-diabetic". You need to stop cooking pasta dishes."
c) "You are pre-diabetic, so you need to decide what is more important to you, your health, or baking cakes."
d) "You should follow a diabetic diet."
