The American Diabetes Association recommends for individualized dietary therapy for the patients with diabetes. Monitoring of carbohydrate in the diet can be done through carbohydrate counting, exchanges, experienced-based estimation and glycemic index. Saturated fat should be limited to <7% of total calories intake. In patients with diabetes and normal renal function the protein intake can be kept as  15% to 20% of total energy intake.
