This doctor has a way of getting his diabetic patients to improve their levels — without referral to a dietitian. “Eat as close to the
garden as possible,”
says this author.

It has never been easy to successfully counsel patients with type 2 diabetes about diet and lifestyle. Dietary changes, for many reasons, remain the mostunderused and poorly implemented part of diabetes management. In my practice, however, I have finally found some solutions that work without usingmuch time, extra staffing, or referrals to dietitians. My data indicate that glycemiccontrol can be achieved without the weight gain seen in other studies. Most diabetic patients are confused by the dietary information they receive from the mass media. They also expect too much from medications. The heart of my pro-gram is my own patient-education material (for an example, see page 46), whichsupplements regular office visits. I recently prepared a DVD as well. My material,which includes easy-to-remember slogans and mnemonics, is designed to convincepatients of the need to change their diet.
