ADVANCED NUTRITION AND DIETETICS BOOK SERIES

Dietary recommendations need to be based on solid evidence, but where can you find this information? The British Dietetic Association and the publishers of the Manual of Dietetic Practice present an essential and authoritative reference series on the evidence base relating to advanced aspects of nutrition and dietetics in selected clinical specialties. Each book provides a comprehensive and critical review of key literature in the area. Each covers established areas of understanding, current controversies and areas of future development and investigation, and is oriented around six key themes:

  • Disease processes, including metabolism, physiology and genetics
  • Disease consequences, including morbidity, mortality and patient perspectives
  • Clinical investigation and management
  • Nutritional consequences of disease
  • Nutritional assessment, including anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, dietary, economic and social approaches
  • Nutritional and dietary management of disease

Trustworthy, international in scope, and accessible, Advanced Nutrition and Dietetics is a vital resource for a range of practitioners, researchers and educators in nutrition and dietetics, including dietitians, nutritionists, doctors and specialist nurses.

Preface

Diabetes has been with us since ancient times, and the first mention of an illness that could be diabetes was recorded in an Egyptian papyrus of 1500 BC. A simplistic definition of diabetes is that of a disease typified by excessively high blood glucose concentrations, but this conceals the true nature of diabetes as a complex biochemical disorder affecting carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. Treatment of diabetes is multifactorial and aims to reduce both short- and long-term complications of the disease while maintaining quality of life. Diabetes belongs to the group of diseases that cannot be managed by medication alone, and lifestyle factors, including diet and physical activity, are fundamental to successful management. Dietary advice has been subject to various fashions over the years from low to high carbohydrate (and back) and each new approach has been greeted with almost equal amounts of enthusiasm and criticism. The fundamental question for all health professionals concerned with the management of diabetes is – what is the best diet for diabetes?

Evidence-based medicine (and lifestyle advice) is the cornerstone of successful management, and although there are numerous randomized controlled trials indicating the efficacy and safety of most medications used to treat diabetes, this is not always true of lifestyle interventions. Many studies designed to investigate the effects of lifestyle and dietary interventions are not well-designed and there are issues with small numbers of subjects, lack of comparison or control groups, study design and intervention, data quality, data reporting and target populations. It is impossible to conduct randomized, controlled trials in free-living populations over the periods of time required for unambiguous results, and in many cases short-term trials using surrogate end-points are the only evidence available. Despite this, many national and international diabetes associations now publish evidence-based guidelines and recommendations for the dietary management of diabetes, although most of these guidelines identify areas where there is little evidence and recommendations are made based on consensus opinion.

This book is designed to offer both evidence for and the practical aspects of the nutritional management of diabetes, and offers a global view of the lifestyle interventions for the prevention and management of diabetes, including management of complications and special groups. Recognized authorities from around the world have shared their expertise in areas such as the management of diabetes in older people, the glycaemic index, public health and prevention and formulating nutritional guidelines. The book is divided into nine different sections, each addressing a particular aspect of diabetes and each providing a critical review of key literature in the area with an emphasis on translating evidence into practice. The epidemiology, aetiology and clinical management of diabetes are addressed, with an emphasis on lifestyle management, and specifically diet and nutrition, in all areas of the treatment and prevention of diabetes.

This book is aimed at those who work at an advanced level in diabetes, including clinicians, researchers and educators, and is intended for the multi-disciplinary team, including specialist dietitians, diabetes specialist nurses, physicians and psychologists. It will also appeal to general dietitians who wish to learn more about diabetes, and to those undertaking Masters degrees in dietetics, nutrition, medicine or nursing with a specific diabetes component. It is a useful reference and resource for those teaching diabetes at any level.

Advanced Nutrition and Dietetics in Diabetes

This book is the second title in a series commissioned as part of a major initiative between the British Dietetic Association and the publishers Wiley. Each book in the series provides a comprehensive and critical review of the key literature in a clinical area. Each book is edited by one or more experts who have themselves undertaken extensive research and published widely in the relevant topic area. Each book chapter is written by experts drawn from an international audience and from a variety of disciplines as required of the relevant chapter (e.g. dietetics, medicine, public health, basic sciences). Future titles in the series will cover areas including obesity and nutritional support.

The book editors and I are proud to present the second title in the series: Advanced Nutrition and Dietetics in Diabetes. We hope that it impacts on health professionals’ understanding and application of nutrition and dietetics in the prevention and management of diabetes and improves outcomes and reduces complications for such patients.

Foreword

Diabetes management is complex and requires a multidisciplinary team approach, including a wide range of healthcare professionals as well as people with diabetes and their carers. Diet and lifestyle advice form the cornerstone of diabetes self-management, education and counselling, and for most patients with diabetes, this is one of their main concerns. It is therefore crucial that all healthcare professionals, not just dietitians, involved in diabetes care have a good knowledge of the role of diet and skills in advising patients about their lifestyle.

This book is a comprehensive text and reviews concisely and succinctly the literature relating to diabetes pathophysiology and aetiology and the latest evidence on the role of diet in the prevention and management of the many different types and presentations of diabetes.

This book has contributions from leading clinicians, dietitians and researchers in the field of diabetes and covers diabetes in more depth and breadth than other diet-oriented texts; included are sections on diabetes in older adults, diabetes in ethnic minority groups, diabetes in pregnancy, diabetes and coeliac disease, cystic fibrosis-related diabetes and gastroparesis as well, focusing clearly on both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

I would recommend Advanced Nutrition and Dietetics in Diabetes as essential reading for not only dieticians but also physicians, nurses and scientists who want to – and indeed need to – know about the role of diet in diabetes management.
