The pharmacist?s of knowledge of physiology and biochemistry allow them to really learn to apply this knowledge to helping
patients with understanding the importance of nutrition to good health and the treatment of chronic disease. There is
significant evidence that diabetes, CVD, and even cancer are associated with glucose toxicity. Understanding how to control a
patient?s blood glucose through nutritional education and design of a diet plan can be provided by a pharmacist. Add knowledge of
nutrition to the patient?s medication therapy plan can increase therapy effectiveness. An understanding of the Glycemic Index
and
Glycemic Load of differing carbohydrates allows the pharmacist to design a dietary plan for the patient to enhance their total therapy.
Point-of-Care devices allow the pharmacist to measure a patient?s body density in particular the percentage of the patient?s
weight that is fat, thus allow the pharmacist to focus on developing a diet that is designed to feed muscle and at the same time
reduce body fat through the use of Low Glycemic Index carbohydrates. Low Glycemic Index carbohydrates are more slowly
absorbed and therefore also maintain a lower serum glucose level for a longer interval, thus the patient will not get hungry as soon
as compared to High Glycemic Index carbohydrates. High Glycemic Index carbohydrates produce high peak glucose levels which
result in increased fat production. Further the development of a nutrition plan allows the pharmacist to select foods that are high in
potassium and low in sodium which brings significant benefit in managing hypertension. The application of nutritional principals
to the patient?s diet allows the pharmacist to improve total therapy benefit.
