1. Nutrition therapy
Nutrition therapy has an integral role in diabetes management. This type of therapy is recommended for all patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes as an effective component of the overall treatment plan. It is recommended in several studies that diabetes patients should develop individualized eating plans in collaboration with their nutritionists. Careful selection of food types can have a direct effect on energy balance, body weight, lipid levels, and blood pressure. Together with other tips for managing type 2 diabetes, nutrition therapy (carbohydrate counting meal planning approach) is highly recommended for better improvements, glycemic control, and health.
