Nutrition is one of the constantly acting environmental factors that have a powerful effect on a number of biological constants of the body. Due to the absence of etiotropic therapy for diabetes mellitus (DM), the only real preventive measure for the occurrence and development of vascular complications at the present stage is the maximum compensation of various metabolic disorders characteristic of this disease. Diet therapy not only helps lower blood pressure (BP), but can also reduce the risk of coronary heart disease due to its lipid-lowering effect.
