Diabetes mellitus is a common disorder where the body is no longer
able to regulate blood glucose levels correctly owing to defects in
insulin secretion or action. While some people require treatment
with insulin, many are able to control their diabetes through
management of diet, e.g. by decreasing the fat intake and
increasing the amount of fibre.
This book provides an up-to-date review of the dietary management of diabetes looking at general topics, such as the metabolic principles of nutrition, as well as more specific topics, such as nutritional management of diabetic children, pregnant women and the elderly.
- A specialist text on the nutritional management of diabetes
