Medical Nutrition Therapy Using Carbohydrate Counting / 임상당뇨병

ABSTRACT

Improved postprandial glucose management requires careful monitoring of carbohydrate counting and consideration of the blood glucose response to dietary carbohydrate. Furthermore, learning how to use insulin-to-carbohydrate ratios for meal planning might help people successfully adjust insulin dose from meal to meal to enhance glycemic control. Regular education to raise knowledge of the link between carbohydrate intake and insulin requirements is critical for those whose meal schedules or carbohydrate consumption are unpredictable. Medical nutrition therapy is an important part of total diabetes management, and each person with diabetes should participate actively in education, self-management, and treatment planning with their health care team, including creation of a personalized food plan.
