Major advances in diabetes management and medical nutrition therapy (MNT) for individuals with diabetes in the past two decades make today an exciting time. “Historically, a challenge to proving the benefit of MNT has been the lack of clinical and behavioral research. In recent years, however, evidence-based outcomes research that documents the clinical effectiveness of MNT in diabetes has been reported.” Research shows that working with a Registered Dietitian to receive medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is a cost-effective intervention for diabetes management and education.
