GARCIA-ALMEIDA, José Manuel et al. Malnutrition management of hospitalized patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia and sarcopenia. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.spe4, pp.15-22.  Epub Feb 06, 2023. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.04507.

Sarcopenia is a multidimensional condition that negatively affects muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance. The prevalence of sarcopenia in people with diabetes is much higher than that of the general population, especially in individuals with poor nutritional status. Both sarcopenia and malnutrition are conditions amenable to intervention to improve clinical prognosis. This article describes the results of the expert consensus and the responses of the panelists on the nutritional management in routine clinical practice of patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia hospitalized (non-critically ill) with sarcopenia.
