Today, evidence is available for the effectiveness of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) in diabetes management. Evidence exists from randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and meta-analyses that MNT improves metabolic outcomes such as blood glucose and hemoglobin AIC in people with diabetes.
