8. Explain the importance and/or provide solutions for the following issues commonly
addressed as part of the dietary management of type I and type II diabetes.
The nutritional management of diabetes guides the person with diabetes in making appropriate
food choices and behavioral changes that will result in improved glucose levels, improved
nutritional status and self management of diabetes. Diabetic diets are intended for individuals
with abnormal glucose levels due to insulin resistance or the lack of insulin. Medical nutrition
therapy approaches to the dietary management of diabetes include diabetic meal patterns and
carbohydrate counting. The goal of the following worksheets is to assist the dietetic intern in
gaining a better understanding of these dietary approaches.
