[Hilda Mariano]

I usually start by asking the patient if they have any specific questions regarding nutrition therapy. Then I give a concise summary of the pathophysiology of Diabetes and talk about carbohydrates. We then discuss what the client preferences are and how to adjust serving sizes, and/or how to include protein and fiber in snacks and meals for best diabetes control. I also talk about Canada’s food guide and provide other resources that the patient might find helpful.
