Abstract
Historically diet prescriptions for the management of diabetes and heart disease had many nutrient targets describing the appropriate daily amounts and types of fat and carbohydrate, as well as specific carbohydrate distributions through the day in defined numbers of meals and snacks. Predetermined nutrient prescriptions required the dietitian to perform detailed nutrient calculations to meet all the specified requirements. In contrast, the latest Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) Guidelines for the Nutritional Management of Diabetes (1) are based on the principle that for most people with diabetes, the dietary recommendations are the same as those for the general population as outlined in Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating (2). The CDA guidelines are based on the premise that the dosage and timing of medications to help control diabetes should be worked around a healthy lifestyle and not vice-versa.
