D) The term medical food means a food that is formulated to be consumed or administered enterally under the supervision of a physician and that is intended for the specific dietary management of a disease or condition for which distinctive nutritional requirements, based on recognized scientific principles, are established by medical evaluation. 

Drugs used to increase HDL levels (fibrates, nicotinic acid, and statins) in otherwise normal people do not have the same effect in patients with Tangier disease. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and treat other risk factors associated with CAD. Exercise, weight reduction, dietary cholesterol and saturated fat reduction, and smoking cessation are the first line in management of low HDL cholesterol. Dietary management with low fat intake is beneficial in reducing the risk for CAD, as well... 

Type 1 diabetes is treated with insulin replacement therapy, usually by insulin injection or insulin pump, along with attention to dietary management and careful monitoring of blood glucose levels. Today most insulin is produced using genetic recombination techniques insulin analogues are a form of modified insulin with different onset-of-action times or duration-of-action times. 

The treatment for these disorders is limited. Antipruritic agents and UDCA are indicated for itching. Good dietary management lowers the risk of malnutrition. Bi-phosphonates and calcium can have a positive effect on bone density. As yet, there is no medical treatment available for the often annoying chronic fatigue syndrome. Liver transplantation may ultimately be indicated.

Dietary management is a first priority in the treatment of diarrhea. Most clinicians recommend discontinuing consumption of solid foods and dairy products for 24 hours. However, fasting is of questionable value, as this treatment modality has not been extensively studied. In osmotic diarrhea, these maneuvers control the problem. If the mechanism is secretory, diarrhea persists. For patients experiencing...

The aim of dietary management is to maintain a normal plasma phenylalanine level by restricting the routine... 

Hereditary tyrosinaemia type II is caused by a deficiency of tyrosine aminotransferase, leading to eye lesions, skin lesions and neurological complications. The aim of dietary management is to prevent the accumulation of tyrosine and phenylalanine by a low-protein diet. The protein requirements are met by supplementing the diet with a tyrosine- and phenylalanine-free amino acid mixture.
