Update on Nutrition in Diabetes Management

Andrew Reynolds et al. Med Clin North Am. 2022 Sep.

Abstract

Nutrition is a corner stone of diabetes management, and should be regarded as fundamental to achieving blood glucose control. The current advice for nutrition in diabetes management is discussed, with a focus on body weight, macro and micro nutrients, foods and food groups, dietary patterns, and the lifestyle context. More recent evidence on topics such as body weight and dietary patterns indicate flexibility in what can be recommended, which enables patient preference and may aid adherence. Importantly, a healthy diet for those with diabetes is also appropriate to recommend for their families and the general population.

Keywords: Diabetes management; Dietary recommendations; Evidence-based medicine.
