Weight management through lifestyle modification for the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes: rationale and strategies. A statement of the American Diabetes Association, the North American Association for the Study of Obesity, and the American Society for Clinical Nutrition.

Overweight and obesity are important risk factors for type 2 diabetes. The marked increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity is presumably responsible for the recent increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle modification aimed at reducing energy intake and increasing physical activity is the principal therapy for overweight and obese patients with type 2 diabetes. Even moderate weight loss in combination with increased activity can improve insulin sensitivity and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes and prevent the development of type 2 diabetes in high-risk persons (ie, those with impaired glucose tolerance). The American Diabetes Association, the North American Association for the Study of Obesity, and the American Society for Clinical Nutrition have joined together to issue this statement on the use of lifestyle modification in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes medical nutrition therapy: practical tips to improve outcomes.

PURPOSE: To describe the evolving and expanding role of nurse practitioners (NPs) in providing diabetes medical nutrition therapy (MNT) as the United States faces epidemics of diabetes and obesity. DATA SOURCES: Scientific literature and reports from the public health, diabetes, and nutrition fields. CONCLUSIONS: Although clinically effective for both prevention and treatment of diabetes, MNT is often underutilized. The majority of people with diabetes are cared for by primary care providers; the role of NPs as primary care providers is evolving and expanding. NPs are recognized as leaders who creatively adapt to the rapidly changing health care delivery system. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: NPs can serve as role models by presenting accurate, basic nutrition messages, referring patients to registered dietitians for MNT, reinforcing nutrition and the importance of lifestyle change as primary treatments for their disease, and following up on their patients' progress with nutrition interventions.
