ISPAD Clinical Practice Consensus Guidelines 2018: Nutritional management in children and adolescents with diabetes

Abstract

Nutritional management is one of the cornerstones of diabetes care and education. Different countries and regions have widely varying cultures and socio‐ economic status that influence and dominate dietary habits. Although there is strong evidence for nutritional requirements in young people the scientific evidence base for many aspects of diabetes dietary management is still emerging and it is important to individualize nutrition interventions and meal plans.
