Diabetes 3 Flashcards
what is the best diabetic diet?
THERE IS NO DIABETIC DIET
calories A-level evidence
- should be appropriate to reach & maintain desirable body weight, particularly in insulin-resistant individuals
- “structured programs” that emphasize lifestyle changes can produce long-term weight loss
- standard weight reduction diets – when used alone – are unlikely to produce long-term wt. Loss
calories should be appropriate to __ and __ desirable body weight ( especially in __ individuals)
calories should be appropriate to reach and maintain desirable body weight ( especially in insulin-resistant individuals)
__ programs that emphasize __ changes can produce long-term weight loss
structured programs that emphasize lifestyle changes can produce long-term weight loss
are standard weight reduction diets effective at producing long-term weight loss?
no!
carb A-level evidence
- Carbohydrate intake should emphasize nutrient-dense carbohydrate sources that are high in fiber and minimally processed.
- Eating plans should emphasize non-starchy vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains, as well as dairy products, with minimal added sugars. (B-level)
The emphasis is on total carbohydrate – more important than the source or type therefore food choices can include sugars and starches
A target of 60 grams to total grams of carbohydrate is often useful
carb intake should emphasize __ carb sources that are high in __ and minimally __
carb intake should emphasize nutrient-dense carb sources that are high in fiber and minimally processed
emphasize __ vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains
emphasize non-starchy vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains
carbs: emphasis is on __ carbohydrate, not __ of carb
carbs: emphasis is on total carbohydrate, not type of carb
target grams of carb
60 g
expert carbs: __ and __ should provide 60-70% of energy
expert carbs: CHOs and MUFs should provide 60-70% of energy
expert carbs: __ and __-containing foods CAN be eaten in a healthy diet
expert carbs: sucrose and sucrose-containing foods CAN be eaten in a healthy diet
reducing overall carbohydrate intake for individuals with diabetes has shown improvements in __
reducing overall carbohydrate intake for individuals with diabetes has shown improvements in glycemia
3 eating patterns that reduce A1c and need for anti-hyperglycemic medications
- T2DM
- low-CHO
- very low CHO
dietary fats A-level evidence
- An eating plan emphasizing elements of a Mediterranean eating pattern rich in monounsaturated & polyunsaturated fats may be considered to improve glucose metabolism & lower cardiovascular disease risk. (B)
- < 10% derived from SF; < 7% if LDL-chol level is over 70mg/dl
- dietary cholesterol < 300mg/d; < 200mg/d if LDL-chol is over 100mg/dl
fats: __ eating patten rich in __ and __ fats
fats: Mediterranean eating patten rich in MUFA and PUFA fats
__% of diet derived from SF, < _% if high LDL
10% of diet derived from SF, < 7% if high LDL
dietary cholesterol < __mg/d, < __ mg/d if LDL is high
dietary cholesterol < 300mg/d, < 200 mg/d if LDL is high
protein:
if renal function is normal __
protein should be __% of total daily energy
protein:
if renal function is normal no need to modify total protein
protein should be 15-20% of total daily energy
should high protein foods be chosen to reduce hypoglycemia?
no
alcohol
limit to __ drinks for women, __ for men
alcohol
limit to 1 drinks for women, 2 for men
how to handle drinking as a diabetic?
monitor glucose before and after drinking
nutritive discretionary sweeteners
