摘要:

Current nutrition recommendations for people with diabetes largely ignore the glycemic index (GI) differences between carbohydrate foods and use older classifications that do not reflect physiologic effects on glycemia or insulinemia. We need to guide people in the best choices and encourage industry to develop new low-GI foods. Foods containing sugar, whether naturally occurring or refined, have low to intermediate GI values, and their inclusion can help to reduce the overall GI of the diet. In practice, the GI in diabetes management involves a “this for that” approach that is not complex and expands, rather than limits, food choices. Nutrition recommendations need to recognize major developments in science, and the GI of foods is one of these.

摘要:

There is concern that high-carbohydrate diets are deleterious for people with diabetes. However, studies have not taken into account the nature of the carbohydrate and show no change in HbAlc, and only modest increases in triglycerides. Further research is needed on the long-term effect of high-fat diets on blood glucose and lipids and body weight and on how best to implement dietary recommendations.

摘要:

Glycemic index research has greatly expanded our scope of knowledge regarding the physiologic action of foods. However, the clinical utility of the glycemic index itself is not supported by sufficient research. Glycemic responses vary between different foods; however, the number of foods available in the United States and the factors potentially affecting the postprandial glycemic response suggest that trying to classify foods based on their response would be cumbersome and misleading. Current practice in the United States is to focus on the total quantity of carbohydrate consumed. It may not be perfect, but has clinical utility.

摘要:

Diabetes mellitus is not a single disease but a group of highly variable disorders of glucose metabolism. As a group with a common clinical feature, it is the largest group of genetic diseases that afflict mankind. More than 200 mutations have been reported that associate with this disease. Because of this variability in genetic origin, optimal management of the affected individual poses considerable challenges to the clinical and family caregiver.
