nutritional education, approach, postprandial glycemic controlAbstract
Nutritional therapy and education are indisputable pillars of diabetes treatment. Together under the concept of “nutritional education”, taught by professionals specialized in the subject, they provide a fundamental tool for achieving therapeutic objectives and, simultaneously, constitute a prevention strategy not only of complications of the disease, but also to avoid acquisition of harmful eating patterns that complicate the achievement of the proposed objectives.
For years, low glycemic variability has been one of the therapeutic targets given that the characteristics of post-glycemic excursions are predictors of the development and progression of chronic complications of the disease. In this sense, the postprandial periods are a focus of attention.
