Dates and Diabetes

Abstract: Date, the fruit of date palm, is a delicious fruit with a sweet taste and a fleshy mouth feel. Dates have been considered as the staple food in the Arab Gulf regions for thousands of years. The religious-cultural importance of this fruit often creates conflict between persons with diabetes, who wish to consume it in unlimited quantity, and health care professionals, who condemn its consumption. This article provides a balanced, nutrilogic opinion about dates and their consumption in diabetes.

The energy and nutritional content of dates can be seen in Table 5.…”

“…The DR is a common microvascular complication of diabetic patients and the leading cause of vision loss in the working-age population worldwide. 5,6 Recent estimates suggest that approximately 486 million people worldwide have diabetes and that roughly onethird demonstrate evidence of DR, including DME. 7,8 Furthermore, the DR consumes roughly 40% of the total cost of diabetes care in the US and Europe, which is approximately $120 billion annually in economic burden, not only from direct disease management costs but also from lost worker productivity.…”
