Abstract

No one specific diet is recommended by the ADA for the management of diabetes. The prescribed diet should be based on nutritional assessment, treatment goals, and desired outcome. The nutritional therapy should be individualized to meet the patient's nutritional requirements. Glycemic control should be maintained by monitoring metabolic parameters, adjusting medication, and patient education.
