Software development for managing nutrition intake for Type II diabetes mellitus

In this paper, we present the development and use of a nutrition assessment software namely Nutritracs for Type II Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). We conducted a case study in India to understand how diet counselling impacts upon Type II Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) management. We also highlight practical challenges in conducting such studies in developing countries and how we have addressed them, and the promising outcome in T2DM management — reduced the dependency on insulin as a management tool.
