Abstract

As in the general population, people with diabetes should be advised to reduce their sodium intake with a diet high in fruits, vegetable, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. For patients with diabetes and hypertension, renal disease, or cardiovascular disease, dietary sodium intake should be restricted to less than 2,000 mg/day. Lifestyle interventions that incorporate balanced diets and increased physical activity can effectively reduce the risk of diabetes complications. Further studies are needed to develop evidence-based dietary recommendations for Korean patients with diabetes.
