Alimentação e diabetes: novas associações

Abstract

The aim of this study was to survey the main forms of treatment today for the carrier DM. In the treatment of DM1, administration of insulin daily, 2-3 times per day or by infusion pump, as is required for DM2 is necessary to maintain adequate glycemic control, increased physical exercise, balanced diet. The diet is eating behavior are directly related to the control and prevention of diabetes. Nutritional therapy has undergone significant changes over time. Recent findings show that the use of fiber for DM patients can bring great benefits, but has the ability to slow down gastric emptying; provides openings for penetration of carbohydrates inside the fiber by reducing the amount available for absorption. Another line of research on the relationship between consumption of red meat and DM2 is studied; the association may be through the effects of heme derivative of red meat. Finally, the omega-3 intake may help it to continue to produce a certain amount of insulin in order to increase the viscosity of the gastrointestinal contents, thus reducing the absorption of nutrients and increasing insulin sensitivity. Therefore it is concluded that adherence to treatment is essential to achieve glycemic control. And that all patients with this disease require excessive care in relation to their habits so that through them can bring about a significant improvement in quality of life.
