Nutritional diagnoses in people with type 2 diabetes: association with metabolic, anthropometric, and dietary parameters.

Background: Nutritional diagnosis involves identifying a nutritional problem, its cause, and the signs that indicate it to guide appropriate treatment. Few studies report on the most prevalent nutritional diagnoses in people living with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Objective: To define nutritional diagnoses across different domains and their association with metabolic, anthropometric, and dietary parameters in individuals with T2D.

Primary Barriers of Adherence to a Structured Nutritional Intervention in Patients with Dyslipidemia.

Purpose: To describe the primary barriers to adequately adhering to a structured nutritional intervention.

Patients And Methods: A total of 106 participants diagnosed with dyslipidemia and without a medical nutrition therapeutic plan were included in this two-year study conducted at the INCMNSZ dyslipidemia clinic in Mexico City. All patients were treated with the same structured strategies, including three face-to-face visits and two telephone follow-up visits.

Barriers to adherence to a nutritional plan and strategies to overcome them in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus; results after two years of follow-up.

Introduction: Lifestyle changes in medical nutrition therapy (MNT) are associated to HbA1c decreases ranging from 0.3 to 2%. Evidence shows that people with barriers are less likely to adhere to a long-term nutritional plan.

[Dietary trans fatty acids and its metabolic implications].

Fats are important nutrients in our diet, they have wide chemical properties that drive diverse metabolic effects. The trans fatty acids (TFA) are common compounds found in industrialized food, and recent research has shown they should be avoided due to their increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Some of the mechanisms involved include: reduction of c-HDL concentration, increase of low density lipoprotein, Lp (a), triglycerides; disturbance in prostaglandin balance and they may also promote insulin resistance.

Influence of skin color on the diagnostic utility of clinical acanthosis nigricans to predict insulin resistance in obese patients.

Background: Skin color may influence the presence of acanthosis nigricans (AN) as predictor of insulin resistance (IR). The objective of this study was to determine how skin color influences the diagnostic utility of AN as a marker of IR.

Methods: We designed a cross-sectional study.
