Exploring the Link Between Dietary Choices and Diabetes Mellitus: An In-Depth Analysis

Authors(2) :-Jyoti Jwala, Dr. Bimla Kumari

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) presents a formidable global health challenge, affecting over 100 million individuals worldwide. This complex endocrine disorder arises from insulin insufficiency or ineffective utilization, leading to erratic blood glucose levels and various complications. DM prevalence is escalating, with projections estimating a surge to 552 million cases by 2030, particularly acute in low- and middle-income countries like India. Shifting dietary patterns, urbanization, and demographic changes drive this surge. Diet profoundly influences DM onset and progression. While diets rich in refined carbohydrates, fats, and sugars increase disease risk, those abundant in vegetables and fruits offer protective effects. Cultural influences shape dietary practices among individuals with DM, necessitating culturally sensitive dietary counselling. Nutritional interventions, such as high-carbohydrate and monounsaturated fat diets, and the Mediterranean diet show promise in optimizing DM management. Diagnosis and treatment of DM require a comprehensive approach, incorporating diagnostic criteria, pharmacotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and dietary interventions. By implementing evidence-based guidelines and individualized care plans, healthcare providers can effectively manage DM and improve outcomes for affected individuals. Addressing this global health crisis demands multifaceted interventions, emphasizing the importance of promoting balanced and nutritious dietary habits and culturally sensitive approaches to care.
