Abstract Background: Consumption of a varied diet reduces the risk of developing a deficiency or excess of any one nutrient. One of the three corner stones of diabetes management is diet and therefore, dietary diversity is key among diabetes patients. Objective: The objective of this study was to establish the impact of nutrition education on the dietary diversity scores (DDS) among type 2 diabetes patients. Methods: Kant et al method was used for scoring dietary diversity. Data were analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS version 21). Pair sample t-test was used to compare total DDS after and before nutrition education. P< 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Subjects: One hundred type 2 diabetic patients were randomly selected and divided into two groups of intervention and control (50 patients in each group) to participate in the study. Data were collected using a pre-tested questionnaire before and after intervention every after one month for a period of four months of intervention.Results: The average age of patients who participated in the study was 48 (40–51) years. Most of the patients were females (65.39%), compared to males (34.01%). At the end of the study period of four months, DDS in the control group decreased from 40.08% to 38.49% (p=0.064) while in the intervention group, DDS increased from 35.30 % to 54.20% (p<0.001). Conclusion: Dietary diversity increased after nutrition education among type 2 diabetes patients.Trial registration: The study was registered and approved on 17th April 2013 by the Research and Ethics committee of Mulago Hospital and Institutional Review Board of Mulago hospital (Protocol MREC 113).

Abstract ABSTRACT Background: Adherence to healthy meal plan can delay and prevent complications from diabetes. However, feeding habits of the patients is not well known in many developing countries including Ethiopia. Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the dietary adherence and associated factors among diabetes patient at Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital, Bahirdar City Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among systematically selected 385 diabetes patients from March to April, 2017 at Felege-Hiwot Referral hospital, Bahir Dar Northwest Ethiopia. Quantitative data were collected by using a pre-tested and structured questionnaire. To supplement their experiences, views and perception, participants were selected purposely for in-depth interviews. Logistic regression was used to identify associations between dependent and explanatory variables. Statically significant was considered at p value < 0.05 with 95% CI. The qualitative data were analyzed in content line by line with quantitative findings. Results: The overall proportion of poor dietary adherence among diabetes patients was 46.8% (95% CI: 41.1- 52.0). Living in rural (AOR=3. 75;95% CI: 2.12-6.63), duration of diabetes less than 5 years (AOR=2. 81; 95% CI: 1.22-6.50), didn’t get nutrition education (AOR=5. 88; 95% CI: 3.30-10.48), poor social support (AOR=3. 84; 95% CI: 1.74-8.46) and didn’t make choices on food when they ate out (AOR=3. 49; 95% CI: 2.09-5.81) were significantly associated with poor dietary practice. Conclusion: Considerable numbers of diabetes patients in this study were non-adhered to the recommended diet and to improve their dietary practice; attention should be given to nutrition education.

Background: Type 2 diabetes is a non-communicable disorder that requires changes in diet, among other aspects of lifestyle, in its management. Patients are normally advised on dietary intakes based on required dietary energy and nutrient intakes to normalise their conditions. Methods: The cross-sectional study recruited 100 adult type 2 diabetes patients by convenience sampling from Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Kumasi, Ghana. The energy and nutrient intakes of patients were measured according to age and gender. The 24-hour recalls on three days per patient were used to access dietary intakes with references to Composition of Foods Commonly Used in Ghana, and the West African Food Composition Table. Meal skipping was noted. Anthropometric, blood pressure and biochemical measurements of patients were taken and related to their meal frequency lifestyle. The comparison of dietary intakes between males and females within age groups was done in reference to Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) and Estimated Average Requirement (EAR), which are constituents of Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI).  Results: Meal skipping was associated with a larger waste circumference. The mean daily protein intake (P = 0.001) and calcium intake (P = 0.004) of males were significantly higher than those of the females. Similarly, patients less than 60 years of age were more likely to consume more energy and nutrients (except calcium) than their older counterparts, though no significant differences were recorded. Mean quantities of carbohydrate, iron, and vitamin C consumed were above the DRI for both males and females. For dietary fibre, this was true only for females. The DRI for other nutrients was not met. For respondents <60 years, 45.5 %, 68.6 % and 72.7 % of males met their RDAs for protein, iron and vitamin C respectively while 41.7 %, 5.6 % and 80.6 % of their female counterparts met their RDA for these nutrients. For respondents ≥ 60 years, 46.7 %, 80 % and 66.7 % of males vs. 31.6 %, 63.2 %, and 92.1 % of females met their RDAs for protein, iron and vitamin C respectively. Only 2.8% of females < 60 years and 6.7 % of females ≥ 60 years met the RDA for vitamin E, while no males did. While 52.8 % of females < 60 years and 47.4% of those ≥ 60 years respectively met their RDAs for fibre, only 40 % males < 60 years met their RDA for fibre.  All respondents met the RDA for carbohydrate except 2.6 % of females ≥ 60 years. For vitamin A, apart from 2.8 % of females < 60 years, no respondent met the RDA and for calcium none did. Conclusion:  Both males and females had mean intakes of carbohydrate, iron, and vitamin C in excess of their DRI. The situation was problematic for other nutrients. Public and personal health and nutrition education should be intensified to promote adequate nutrient intakes among both male and female and younger and older age groups in diabetes patients in Ghana.

Obesity is one of the comorbidities widely occurred among type 2 diabetes patients. It is one of the most modifiable risk factors for the prevention of other comorbid conditions such as diabetic nephropathy and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to recognize eating behaviour, physical activity, and other related factors, also their correlation with obesity as comorbidity among type 2 diabetes patients. Using cross-sectional design, data were collected from purposively selected 133 members of “PROLANIS” in Jatinegara Primary Health Care, East Jakarta. Food intake was assessed by 1x24 hours food recall and FFQ, physical activity by GPAQ. The result showed 63,9% of adult with type 2 diabetes were obese (BMI ≥25 kg/m2), fat intake was higher than recommendation (30,77±9,06%), but mean energy intake was insufficient compared to energy requirement (62,06±23,67%). The prevalence of obesity among adults with type 2 diabetes is found associated with nutrition knowledge, level of education, and length of suffering type 2 diabetes. Nutrition education is important to reduce the prevalence of obesity among adults with type 2 diabetes.
