Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects more than 18 million Americans—more than 7% of the population, or 7 out of every 100 persons. These numbers are expected to double during the next 25 years.
This increase reflects an enormous rise in the number of patients who have Type 2 diabetes. The rise has been linked to various factors:
- the aging population
- an increasing prevalence of obesity
- a trend toward physical inactivity
- a growing population of ethnic groups susceptible to the disease
The food we eat can dramatically affect the control of blood glucose. Two large research trials have proven that blood glucose control can prevent or delay the complications of diabetes. This good control requires intense medical nutrition therapy.
- What is the current medical nutrition therapy for diabetes?
- What are the nutrition goals?
- How do the recommendations for people with diabetes differ from the recommendations for the general population?
- How can we make these guidelines easier to follow?
Learn about appropriate diabetes treatment goals, monitoring, medications, and exercise through this continuing education course.
