Diabetes is a complex chronic illness with several potential pathophysiological defects. Our knowledge and understanding of these issues is expanding along with new classes of drug therapies that target these defects. As RDNs who provide MNT and Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) for those living with diabetes, it is imperative to understand the relationship of drug therapies to meal patterns and lifestyle.
