Nutritional aspects of type 1 diabetes: We need to keep struggling against palaeolithic diet (how research helps us to do the right thing)

Abstract

For both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, eating healthy is key to blood glucose management [1]. Nowadays it is well recognised that, for each child and adolescent with type 1 diabetes, nutrition therapy is recommended. Implementation of an individualised meal plan with appropriate insulin adjustments can help to improve glycaemic control. The optimal macronutrient distribution varies depending on an individualised assessment [2].
