Nutrition and Diabetes

Present nutrition self-education and care need to be available for individuals with diabetes. In addition to that, many areas of nutrition and diabetes require additional research. To ensure successful outcomes examining parameters, including glucose, lipids, blood pressure, body weight, and renal function, when parameters are normal, as well as the quality of life, is essential to assess the need for changes in therapy. Medical nutrition therapy for people with diabetes should be with consideration given to the individual’s usual food and eating habits, metabolic profile, treatment goals, and desired outcomes.
