Abstract:

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an important and growing health problem for all countries, regardless of their degree of development. In 2015, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimated that 8.8% (95% confidence interval: 7.2 to 11.4) of the world population aged 20-79 years (415 million of people) lived with diabetes. If current trends persist, the number of people with diabetes was projected to exceed 642 million by 2040. The increase in the prevalence of diabetes is associated with several factors, such as: rapid urbanization, epidemiological transition, nutritional transition, greater frequency of sedentary lifestyle, greater frequency of overweight, growth and population aging, and also greater individual’s survival with diabetes. The World Health Organization estimates that high glycemia is the third major factor in the cause of premature mortality, surpassed only by increased blood pressure and tobacco use. Nutritional care in diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most challenging parts of treatment and lifestyle change strategies, as well as in hospitalized patients in Enteral Nutritional Therapy.

International recommendations on enteral nutritional therapy (NER) in diabetes were initiated in 1998, when the ADA and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) developed in Chicago, consensus that has established proposals for this purpose. The latest consensus published by the ADA recommends the presence of a registered dietitian in the hospital team to conduct a realistic plan on nutritional therapy. A recent study including patients with DM2, admitted to intensive care units (ICUs), showed that the use of a specialized formula in glycemic control was correlated with a reduction in mortality and with better economic results.
