title: [What is your diabetic patient allowed to eat].
abstract: The Expert Group Diabetes and Nutrition of the European Diabetes Association has compiled evidence-based recommendations for the treatment and prevention of diabetes mellitus. These recommendations have been coordinated with all the major relevant societies in Germany. This has enabled a uniform approach to the dietary treatment of persons with diabetes that is supported by the German Diabetes Association, the German Obesity Association, the German Association of Nutritional Medicine and the German Association for Nutrition. The scientific background to the dietary recommendations have also been incorporated in a nutrition training programme and a patient information guide with the aim of promoting countrywide implementation.
