About 347 million people worldwide have diabetes
There is an emerging global epidemic of diabetes that can be traced back to rapid increases in overweight, obesity and physical inactivity
Diabetes is predicted to become the seventh leading cause of death in the world by the year 2030 Total deaths from diabetes are projected to rise by more than 50% in the next 10 years
DIABETES – GLOBAL SCENARIO
An estimated 57 million Indians will have diabetes by 2025
An important factor contributing to increased prevalence of T2DM in
Asian Indians is excessive insulin resistance
Insulin resistance is highly prevalent in Asian Indians which results in
decreased glucose transport in muscle resulting in
hyperglycemia
Indians seem to have a genetic predisposition towards insulin resistance with a low BMI and high central adiposity
DIABETES – INDIAN SCENARIO
Approaches for Diabetes
management are:
Diet management
Exercise Drug
therapy.
Objectives for the management of
Diabetes are:
To provide relief from symptoms.
Prevention of complications.
MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES
There is not eating pattern
& supports its implementation
MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY IN
DIABETES
Medical Nutrition Therapy is a therapeutic approach to treating medical conditions and their associated symptoms via the use of a specifically tailored diet devised and monitored by a registered Dietitian.
BENEFITS OF MNT
MNT provided by Registered Dieticians (RDs) is a nutrition centered care plan that focuses on the assessment, nutrition diagnosis, treatment plan, evaluation and continued monitoring of a patient.
MNT has been shown to be effective in wellness, disease prevention and disease management.
MNT improves the health and quality of life for individuals with certain disease conditions and can reduce hospitalization
EMPHASIS ON NUTRITION – ADA GUIDELINES
GOALS OF MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY
1. Attain individualized glycemic, Blood pressure & Lipid goals.
HbA1C < 7%
Blood Pressure < 140/80mmHg
LDL Cholesterol < 100 mg/dL
Triglycerides < 150 mg/dL
HDL cholesterol > 40 mg/dL for Men
HDL cholesterol > 50 mg/dL for Women
2. Achieve & maintain body weight goals
3. Delay or prevent complications of Diabetes
4. Improve health through healthy food choices & physical activity
5. Address individual nutritional needs taking into considerations personal
& cultural preferences and lifestyle
6. For the young with type 2 diabetes, to facilitate changes in eating and
physical activity habits that reduces insulin resistance & improve metabolic
status
7. To provide self management education for treatment of hypoglycemia
8. To decrease risk by encouraging physical activity & promoting food choices that facilitate moderate weight loss or at least prevent weight gain
Diabetes
Glycemic Variations
CVDs
Obese & Poor QOL
Nutritional Imbalance

Diet Restrictions
WHY MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY ???
Nutrition is a critical part of diabetes care. Balancing the right amount of carbohydrates, fat, protein along with fibre, vitamins and minerals helps us to maintain health and a healthy lifestyle. Major concern of Nutrition Therapy is Metabolic normalization and reduction of cardiovascular risk factors
Objective of Diabetic Nutrition
Calorie intake needs to be restricted to decrease weight & risks of vascular complications
SIGNIFICANCE OF NUTRITION IN DIABETES
MNT is recommended for all people with diabetes as an effective component of overall treatment plan Diabetic Individuals should receive individualized MNT as needed to achieve treatment goals, preferably provided by an RD
Gradual provides complete nutritional treatment plan to achieve treatment goals by providing an effective supplementation.

• Role of individual components of Gradual
GDF are short chain polymers of glucose that are resistant to digestion in
the human digestive system
GDF are not digested or absorbed in the human small intestine, and thus pass to the large intestine.
There the undigested GDF are fermented by the colonic bacteria where they yield short chain fatty acids, lower the pH, and gaseous by products.
Research studies have shown improved laxation with the consumption of GDF
GRES – Gradual Release Energy System
GDF is patented soluble dietary fibre and evidence indicates that it may help control postprandial glycemia. GDF consumption does not lead to an enhanced insulin response; rather, it gets attenuated GDF also attenuates the triacylglycerol response to ingested fat, which being structurally different, suggests a mechanism other than enzyme inhibition Foods with a low glycemic index or load can help to normalize the fasting blood glucose concentration, improve glycated protein concentrations, and elevate insulin sensitivity in diabetic and non diabetic subjects

Glycated albumin & glycosylated hemoglobin which are indicators of intermediate & long-term glycemic control, improved over time and in relation to placebo treated subjects
Glycosylated hemoglobin change over 12 weeks in Test and Control groups. Values are expressed as means ± SE
Glycated albumin change over 12 weeks in Test and Control groups. Values are expressed as means ± SE
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are fats with an unusual chemical structure that allows the body to digest them easily. Most fats are broken down in the intestine and remade into a special form that can be transported in the blood. But MCTs are absorbed intact and taken to the liver, where they are used directly for energy.

These are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) with a double bond (C=C) at the third carbon atom from the end of the carbon chain. The three types of omega-3 fatty acids are 1. ALA - Alpha linolenic acid (found in plant oils) 2. EPA - Eicosapentaenoic acid (found in marine oils) 3. DHA - Docosahexaenoic acid (found in marine oils)
• Omega 3 fatty acids has anti-inflammatory, inflammation-resolving, anti arrhythmic & anti thrombotic effects as well as a regulation of transcription factors, gene expression & membrane fluidity
Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA): A large amount of ALA is sometimes used strictly for energy purposes. Our bodies can take ALA and use it to produce energy for our cells. In some situations, most of the ALA that we consume will get used in this way.
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA): Proper function of our inflammatory system depends on the presence of messaging molecules called prostaglandins. Many of these prostaglandins are made directly from EPA. Equally important, most of the prostaglandins made from EPA tend to be anti-inflammatory in their effect.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA): Proper function of our nervous system—including our brain—depends on the presence of DHA. DHA is particularly important to brain function
Inositol : Inositol can enhance the sensitivity of insulin in human body, which
is a favorable aspect for the control of diabetes. Another good aspect is that it can reduce the resulting factors for diabetes, including hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance
Vitamin D: Vitamin D insufficiency & deficiency in obese and diabetic
individuals ranges from 80-90%. Given the high rates of vitamin D insufficiency in obese population & the observed benefits, clinicians may consider vitamin D supplementation in this population
Vitamin C : Diabetic patients have lower dietary intake & lower plasma
levels of vitamin C than healthy controls & its levels correlate inversely with BMI and deficiency of vitamin C is reported in 35-45% of obese individuals
Biotin: Increases hepatic glucose uptake & it also regulates transcription of
the insulin receptor & improves pancreatic B-cell function
Thiamine : Reduces reactive oxidative species in endothelial cells
Selenium : Decreases hyperglycemia by increasing insulin production &
Secretion
Chromium Picolinate : Chromium picolinate being most bioavailable
form of chromium enhances the biological action of Insulin. Chromium also helps insulin to binds with its receptors that line cell membranes and allow glucose to enter the cell to be converted into energy
Zinc : Uncontrolled diabetes results in prolonged glycosuria, which leads to
zinc deficiency
