Study Notes
Diabetic Meal Planning and Nutritional Management
- Calories are distributed into carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to develop a meal plan based on the patient’s lifestyle and food preferences.
- Several food classification systems, such as exchange lists, have been developed to organize foods into groups with common characteristics.
- Exchange lists include bread/starch, vegetable, milk, meat, fruit, and fat, allowing for meal plans based on a recommended number of choices from each list.
- Food labels are important for patients to read and understand the nutrition content, including the grams of carbohydrates in a serving of food.
- Carbohydrate counting is a nutritional tool used for blood glucose management, providing flexibility in food choices and more accurate management with multiple daily injections.
- Carbohydrate counting should consider all food sources, as 100% of carbohydrates are converted to glucose once digested.
- An alternative to counting grams of carbohydrate is measuring servings or choices, where one carbohydrate serving is equivalent to 15 g of carbohydrate.
- The MyPlate Food Guide categorizes foods into five major groups (grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and protein) and is commonly used for patients with type 2 diabetes.
- For those with diabetes, as well as the general population, 50% to 60% of the daily caloric intake should be from grains, vegetables, and fruits.
- Reliance on MyPlate may result in fluctuations in blood glucose levels due to grouping high-carbohydrate foods with low-carbohydrate foods.
- The glycemic index is used in diet therapy to avoid sharp, rapid increases in blood glucose levels after food is eaten.
- Carbohydrates are the main nutrients in food that influence blood glucose levels, and carbohydrate counting is commonly used for blood glucose management with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
