Introduction	This consensus report offers detailed, evidence-based guidance on nutrition therapy for adults living with diabetes or prediabetes. It systematically reviews contemporary scientific literature to formulate recommendations regarding optimal dietary patterns, appropriate macronutrient distribution, and crucial micronutrient considerations. The aim is to facilitate improved glycaemic management, mitigate cardiovascular risk factors, and enhance general well-being. A central theme is the importance of personalised nutrition strategies, acknowledging diverse cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic circumstances, and individual health aspirations. The report advocates for a multidisciplinary healthcare approach, prominently featuring the expertise of registered dietitian nutritionists. Specific recommendations encompass the quality and quantity of carbohydrate intake, the types of fats consumed, adequate protein levels, and the nuanced roles of non-nutritive sweeteners and alcohol in the diet.
