Abstract

This article reviews the currently available evidence and focuses on how diet may play a role in lowering (or increasing) the risk of diabetes. The article also reviews the role of diet in treatment of diabetes. To the extent that it exists, evidence from published studies are cited; however, in areas where research evidence is lacking, clinical experience and physiologic principles are used as important sources of guidance.
