Abstract

In this issue of the British Journal of Nutrition, Breen et al. present a well-written and comprehensive study examining nutrition knowledge among a sample of persons with type 2 diabetes using a validated instrument, food label use and weight satisfaction. The authors explore the relationship between this knowledge and nutrient intake. Although the need of including education on dietary and other lifestyle-related determinants of type 2 diabetes is currently evident and recommended in major guidelines, there is startling scarcity in the literature on this subject.
