“…Bawazeer et al 1 found that those participants who scored higher on the AdultCarbQuiz had better glycaemic control, which mirrors findings reported by others among both youth and adults with type 1 diabetes 4 8–10. In this rather highly educated SA population, about half of the participants used CC and had acceptable mean knowledge scores, but those who scored highest were taught CC five or more times, illustrating the importance of burying the outdated concept of ‘one and done’ when it comes to DSMES.…”

“…Monitoring blood glucose is important to the overall success of lifestyle interventions. Dietary awareness by monitoring carbohydrate intake, either by counting or by tallying units of exchange, can be used to facilitate glycemic management ( 60 ). Further, recent advances in continuous glucose monitoring could potentially guide diet and activity choices for people with diabetes.…”

The Transcultural Diabetes Nutrition Algorithm: A Middle Eastern Version

et al. 2022

Diabetes prevalence is on the rise in the Middle East. In countries of the Gulf region—Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates—prevalence rates are among the highest in the world. Further, Egypt now ranks as one of the top 10 countries in the world for high number of people with diabetes. Medical nutrition therapy is key to optimal management of diabetes. Patient adherence to nutritional guidance depends on advice that is tailored to regional foods and cultural practices. In 2012, international experts created a transcultural Diabetes Nutrition Algorithm (tDNA) for broad applicability. The objective of this current project was to adapt the algorithm and supportive materials to the Middle East region. A Task Force of regional and global experts in the fields of diabetes, obesity, and metabolic disorders met to achieve consensus on Middle East-specific adaptations to the tDNA. Recommendations, position statements, figures, and tables are presented here, representing conclusions of the tDNA-Middle Eastern (tDNA-ME) Task Force. Educational materials can be used to help healthcare professionals optimize nutritional care for patients with type 2 diabetes. The tDNA-ME version provides evidence-based guidance on how to meet patients' nutritional needs while following customs of people living in the Middle Eastern region.
