Diet and diabetes

An article recently published in the Australian Family Physician, Diet and diabetes, provides current evidence regarding the differing diets in diabetes prevention and management once type 2 diabetes arises. Various diets are examined, and possible complications such as hypoglycaemia are considered.

The authors maintain that diets should incorporate weight maintenance or loss, along with increases in physical activity in order to optimise the metabolic effects of dietary advice. "Using a structured, team-care approach supports pragmatic and sustainable individualised plans, while incorporating current evidence-based dietary approaches."
