New dietary guidelines for diabetes management, released at the International Conference on Diabetes (ICD), hosted by the George Washington University School of Medicine and the nonprofit Physicians Committee, favor low-fat, low-glycemic, plant-based foods, curbing sodium intake to 1,500 milligrams each day, and taking a vitamin B12 supplement.
A panel of 35 international researchers, representing Harvard Medical School, the Harvard School of Public Health, Kaiser Permanente, University of Bern, University of Bristol, the German Diabetes Center, and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, discussed the latest science in insulin resistance, genetic risk factors for diabetes, and lifestyle interventions, driving the message home about diet as a first-line treatment, instead of a complementary approach, to diabetes management.
