Beskrivelse
South Asians account for the highest prevalence of diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease worldwide. South Asian dietary practices and habits make up for a complex cuisine that varies from different regions and states throughout the Indian Sub-continent. The cuisine is also influenced by religion which dictates food restrictions, and whether the diet is vegetarian or non-vegetarian. Although there are many similarities in the types of ingredients used and cooking methods, the cuisine can be varied throughout the subcontinent. This nutrition education tool was developed with the purpose of prioritizing South Asians as an at-risk population and providing effective patient/clientele education and training. This tool will help healthcare professionals such as Registered Dietitian Nutritionists and Certified Diabetes Educators to provide nutrition education and flexible meal management customized to the clientele with the goal of increasing meal choices and making meal planning easier and more conducive.
