    Nutrition Management of Type 2 Diabetes by Primary Care Physicians
    (2000-11) Marrero, David G.; Kraft, Stephanie Kakos; Mayfield, Jennifer; Wheeler, Madelyn L.; Fineberg, Naomi
    A survey was mailed to a probability sample of primary care physicians in Indiana to assess their use of and barriers to nutritional therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes. Most (62%) primary care physicians reported referring their type 2 diabetes patients for nutrition counseling, while 38% reported providing counseling themselves. Patient-centered barriers were most frequently cited as reasons for poor effectiveness of nutrition therapy. This differs from previous research that cites system-level factors as barriers.
