Gretchen Benson, Joy Hayes, Gretchen Benson, Joy Hayes
Abstract
When it comes to eating, there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution. This article provides an overview of recommendations and research for three evidence-based eating patterns-Mediterranean, DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), and vegetarian/vegan-that can be individualized for people with type 2 diabetes. In an effort to improve adherence and health outcomes, practical considerations for improving nutrition are highlighted with the aim of helping patients successfully adopt an eating pattern that meets their individual needs and sociocultural and personal preferences.
