Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a growing public health concern globally, characterized by insulin resistance and impaired glucose metabolism. Nutritional strategies play a crucial role in managing T2DM by improving glycemic control, reducing complications, and enhancing overall well-being. This article explores evidence-based dietary interventions such as low-carbohydrate diets, the Mediterranean diet, fiber-rich foods, and intermittent fasting. Additionally, the role of micronutrients, meal timing, and macronutrient composition is discussed. Graphs illustrating the impact of diet on glycemic indices, HbA1c levels, and insulin sensitivity are presented. The paper concludes with recommendations for dietary modifications tailored to the Pakistani population.
