Key Messages: At present, there is no literature on carbohydrate counting performed by dialysis patients. Carbohydrate counting is a useful method of dietary management for glycemic control...

... Carbohydrate Sugar Fiber Glycemic carbohydrate Prebiotics Children Key Messages Diets rich in slowly absorbed carbohydrates should be promoted, while limiting the supply of rapidly absorbed carbohydrates and simple sugars. Dietary carbohydrate intake should reach 45–60...

... is best introduced at the onset of type 1 diabetes. Matching of insulin dose to carbohydrate intake on intensive insulin regimens allows greater flexibility in carbohydrate intake and meal times, with improvements in glycemic control and quality of life. Dietary fat and protein impact early...

... content contribute to the glycemic andendocrine responses postprandially. The aim of the glycemic index classification offoods was therefore to assist in the physiological classification of carbohydrate foodswhich, it was hoped, would be of relevance in the prevention and treatment of chronicdiseases...

... of hyperglycemic excursions in patients with type 2 diabetes, an effect lasting well into the next day. With regard to diet, the carbohydrate content of a meal and the glycemic index (GI) of the carbohydrate consumed are both major determinants of the postprandial glycemic response. Diets containing high-GI...

... concentration [ 10 ]. Related to this is the concept of glycemic load (GL), which takes the amount of carbohydrates consumed into account and is calculated by multiplying the GI by the amount of carbohydrates available, then dividing by 100 [ 11 ]. In the following section, effects on school children's...

... Abstract A flexible therapy for type 1 diabetes based on carbohydrate counting and insulin dose adjustment can promote glycemic control and quality of life without worsening severe hypoglycemia or cardiovascular risk. The complexity of the standard education required by the flexible therapy can...

... an indication of both glycemic index (GI) and quantity of carbohydrate. A high intake of saturated fatty acids may increase resistance to the action of insulin and therefore increase the risk of developing T2DM. Sugar does not appear to be an independent risk factor for T2DM, though high intakes of sugar...

... protein or dairy consumed shortly before a meal to reduce the glycemic response to carbohydrate and that this is not at the cost of increased demand for insulin. Introduction A role for dairy consumption and its physiologic functionality beyond the provision of nutrients in the management...

... occur. Underfeeding, due to insufficient energy and/or protein is associated with poor patient outcomes. Overfeeding carbohydrates, lipids, and/or protein can result in hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hepatic dysfunction, and/or azotemia. Individualization of the nutritional prescription...

... Abstract There is debate among professionals regarding the use of the glycemic index (GI) formeal planning. In type-1 diabetes, there are 4 studies (average duration ∼4 weeks) comparinghigh versus low GI diets; none reported improvements in HbA1c, and although 2reported improvements...

... and free fatty acids; this condition is defined as “facilitate anabolism” [ 4 , 5 ]. The hepatic insulin sensitivity decreases, and this plays a key role in determining the appropriate changes in carbohydrate (CHO), lipids and amino acid metabolism so as to ensure the adequate supply of nutrients...

A low glycemic response after eating carbohydrate-containing foods has been suggested as a useful means of identifying such foods. While many ‘low-glycemic-index' foods do...
