Monitoring metabolic parameters, including blood glucose levels, glycated
hemoglobin, lipids, blood pressure, body weight, and renal function, if
appropriate, as well as quality of life, is crucial to ensure successful
outcomes.
Daily consumption of a diet containing 20-35 g dietary fiber from both soluble and insoluble fibers. The percent of calories from carbohydrate will also vary and is individualized based on the individual's eating habits and glucose and lipid goals. Alcohol is not metabolized to glucose and inhibits gluconeogenesis; therefore, if alcohol is consumed without food by people treated with insulin or oral glucose-lowering agents, hypoglycemia can result. Hypocaloric diets and weight loss usually improve short-term glycemic levels and have the potential to improve long-term metabolic control. |
