    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Carrera de Nutrición y Dietética, 2023-09-25) Villacis Fiallos, Angelo Joel; Arteaga Almeida, Cristina Alexandra
    Type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the main diseases affecting Ecuadorian society, currently impacting 1.4 million Ecuadorians. This situation is exacerbated as a result of unhealthy nutritional habits, which lead to an increase in people with overweight and obesity. It is important to highlight the increase in the older adult population with these problems, as well as the sedentary customs that contribute to the sustained rise in type 2 diabetes mellitus cases. It is a priority for health authorities to develop nutritional strategies for older adults affected by this disease, emphasizing the importance of implementing health education actions that positively impact the change of poor nutritional habits and the systematic increase of physical activity as fully viable alternatives to reduce type 2 diabetes mellitus cases in the adult population. The methodology used in the development of the scientific article corresponds to a literature review. In conclusion, nutritional strategies focus on transforming lifestyles, through increasing physical activity, reducing carbohydrate intake, and adopting a healthy nutrition rich in proteins and fiber but low in fats.
