Abstract

Nutrition in the diabetic patient is not just a mere nutrient but his treatment is based. In fact, international scientific societies have called "medical nutrition therapy" to give it the emphasis it deserves. Nutritional recommendations of scientific societies have been changing in recent years with evidence-based medicine. Regarding the consumption of sugar, most believe it does not affect metabolic control if it is replaced by other carbohydrates, but does not indicate a specific amount.

La nutrición en el paciente diabético no es sólo un del mero aporte de nutrientes sino que es la base su tratamiento. De hecho, las sociedades científicas internacionales lo han denominado «tratamiento médico nutricional» para darle el énfasis que se merece. Las recomendaciones nutricionales de las sociedades científicas han ido cambiando en los últimos años con la medicina basada en la evidencia. Respecto al consumo de azúcar, la mayoría considera que no afecta el control metabólico si éste se sustituye por otros hidratos de carbono, pero no se indica una cantidad concreta.
