World Diabetes Day emphasizes the importance of early action for diabetes management, highlighting the role of nutrition. In Romania, over 1.4 million people are diagnosed with diabetes, with many more at risk. Nutritionist Liliana Enache explains that there is no universal diet for diabetes; instead, individualized dietary approaches are recommended. Current guidelines advocate for balanced eating patterns rather than strict food restrictions. Various dietary models, such as the Mediterranean diet and DASH, have shown benefits for metabolic health. Quality of carbohydrates and fats is crucial, with an emphasis on fiber-rich foods. Weight management and hydration are also important for diabetes control. Including quality protein sources, like chicken, supports overall health and satiety.
