Ziabetus Shakari (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus) in Elderly and its Dietary Management
Abstract
Prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasing rapidly around the world. The ageing of the overall population is a significant driver of the diabetes epidemic. Diabetes in older adults is linked to higher mortality, reduced functional status, and increased risk of institutionalization.
Nutrition is an integral part of diabetes care for all ages, but there are additional considerations for older adults with diabetes. The Unani system of medicine believes that a physician is not the healer but an assistant to nature Tabiyat (physique) of the body, which is the true healer hence the diet should be in accordance with it. Diets have been mentioned according to various stages of life to maintain the digestive system at its best.
