24 Apr 2019 --- Personalized, diabetes-focused medical nutrition therapy is imperative in treating adults with diabetes or prediabetes. This is according to a recent American Diabetes Association (ADA) consensus statement. The ADA supports that a personalized approach in nutrition should be a lifelong commitment, to limit the adverse health outcomes of the condition. The report stresses that patients should have their medical nutrition plans frequently monitored by health specialists and be better educated on the matter.
