Features: This book takes "dietary misconceptions" as its starting point, extensively discussing the correct ways to choose various types of foods and providing examples to illustrate the theory and practice of different nutritional treatment methods. Although it focuses on dietary misconceptions, it serves as dietary guidance. From basic dietary knowledge to the selection of various foods; from creating meal plans and food exchanges to the glycemic index of foods; from dietary care for pregnant women and children with diabetes to dietary requirements for complications, the book is categorized into separate topics, each comprehensively explaining related content and providing detailed scientific dietary plans. The book especially highlights the glycemic index of foods as a dedicated topic. Although the concept of the glycemic index was introduced in foreign countries over 20 years ago, it has only gained widespread application in China in recent years. For many readers, the glycemic index discussed in this book may still be a new concept, but it opens up a new realm. It not only corrects many past dietary misconceptions but also provides a series of new methods and practical applications for diabetes dietary treatment.
