Abstract:
Prolonged social distancing due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has brought about changes in people’s lives, including changes in physical activity, eating habits, and an increase in people’s feelings of depression. These changes can be negative effects on diabetes management. Meal planning is one of the most effective things diabetic patients can do to control blood sugar. Active nutrition management is recommended using various diabetes management applications. Methods and studies on dietary guidelines and non-face-to-face nutritional management are needed in consideration of the continued spread of COVID-19 infections.
