Current Status and Research Progress of Dietary Intervention for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

With the development of China's economy and the improvement of people's living standards, as well as the acceleration of population aging, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus has shown a gradual upward trend, and dietary intervention is as one of the most important measures for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the current situation and research progress of dietary intervention for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Through combing and analysing the relevant literature at home and abroad, it is found that the current dietary intervention for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients has achieved certain results in the formulation of personalized programs, the implementation of nutritional education, and the exploration of new dietary modes, etc., but there are still problems such as low compliance and insufficient persistence of the intervention effect. In the future, it is necessary to further optimise the dietary intervention strategy to enhance the intervention effect and improve the patients' quality of life and glycaemic control.
