Abstract
In Brief Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is an integral component in maintaining glycemic control for hospitalized patients with diabetes and must address special challenges related to illness, changes in medications, and erratic meal schedules. A team approach is required to ensure that patients'nutrition care plans work with their medical plan, not against it. This article reviews MNT goals for hospitalized patients, the need for screening and referral of inpatients for MNT services, and the process of providing MNT in the hospital.
