abstract="Nutritional medical treatment is the first step to achieve adequate glycemic control and prevent diabetic complications. Lifestyle changes include moderate weight loss (7%) and regular physical activity (150 min/week). The appropriate diet composition is < 30% total fat,   15 g/1000 kcal fiber, half soluble, 45–60% of carbohydrates with a moderate intake of sugar (50 g/day) and protein intake of 15–20% of the total calories a day. Patients need to limit the intake of saturated fats to < 7% of the daily calorie intake. Monounsaturated fatty acids such as olive oil and other vegetable oils are recommended. L-carnitine, -lipoic acid, berberine and ω-3 fatty acids can be useful supplements.",
