The dietary management of diabetes mellitus refers to the specific method and strategies used to control blood glucose levels through food choices. It entails making informed judgments on the types and quantities of foods ingested, taking into account elements such as carbohydrates, fat, protein, fiber, and overall calorie intake. The objective is to achieve and maintain stable blood sugar levels, prevent blood sugar spikes and lows, and improve the health and well-being of diabetics as a whole. Dietary management often entails portion control, carbohydrate counting, choosing foods with a low glycemic index/load, emphasizing nutrient-dense options, and adopting lifestyle modifications to support optimal blood sugar control. It is often done under the supervision of healthcare professionals, such as registered dietitians or diabetes educators, who provide individualized recommendations based on the needs, preferences, and diabetes management objectives of the individual.
