Abstract

Diabetes is a common metabolic disorder observed worldwide; therefore, the increase in the prevalence of diabetes must be ascribed to changes in lifestyle. Dietary intervention and lifestyle modification are highly effective means to prevent and treat obesity and/or diabetes. Gut motility disturbances exist in a number of patients with diabetes, resulting in malnutrition and weight loss. Therefore, the diet for diabetes patients should be consistent with general public health nutrition principles, i.e., a fat-reduced, fiber-rich, and low-energy-density carbohydrate-rich diet. This chapter provides an overview of these agents and their implications in order to provide more information on the treatment of diet-related disorders in diabetes.
