Medical nutrition therapy
Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is a therapeutic approach to treating medical conditions and their associated symptoms via the use of a specifically tailored diet devised and monitored by a medical doctor physician, registered dietitian, or professional nutritionist.[1] The diet is based upon the patient's medical record, physical examination, functional examination and dietary history.[citation needed]
The role of MNT when administered by a physician, dietitian or professional nutritionist is to reduce the risk of developing complications in pre-existing conditions such as type 2 diabetes as well as ameliorate the effects any existing conditions such as high cholesterol.[citation needed] Many medical conditions either develop or are made worse by an improper or unhealthy diet.[2][3][4]
An example is the use of macronutrient preload in type 2 diabetes.[5][6]
