AbstractIntroductionAccording to diabetes care standards nutrition therapy should be an integral part of diabetes management, and all individuals with diabetes should be referred to a registered dietitian for nutrition therapy at—or soon after—diagnosis and for ongoing follow-up. There is limited international data that indicate that a large percentage of people with diabetes have not received structured diabetes education and have not visited a dietitian. The aim of this study was to assess the involvement of dietitians in diabetes care in Greece.Materials and MethodsAll adult diabetic patients admitted to a secondary care general hospital in Greece during 30 consecutive days were included in the study. Patients admitted in the ICU, CICU, day clinics and hemodialysis patients were excluded. Data were obtained by personal interviews using a 40 item questionnaire which included 10 questions regarding number of visits to dietitians for diabetes management, whether patients were referred by their doctors or sought dietary advice by their own, reasons for visiting a dietitian, goal achievement and patient satisfaction.ResultsIn total 124 patients (68 males and 56 females) with diabetes were admitted to the hospital during the study period (4 type 1, 114 type 2 and 6 pregnancy diabetes). Data were obtained from 3 (22.8 ± 6 yrs, 26.1 ± 5.7kg/m2,8.3 ± 5.9 yrs with diabetes),105 (76.6 ± 11.3 yrs, 28.0 ± 5.3 kg/m2, 12.8 ± 9.3 yrs with diabetes), and 5 (32.6 ± 4.4 yrs, 28.5 ± 4.0 kg/m2) patients with type 1, type 2 and pregnancy diabetes respectively. Two out of 3 type 1 diabetes and 1 out of 5 patients with pregnancy diabetes interviewed reported to have been referred to a dietitian by their doctor. Only 5.7% (6 patients) of type 2 diabetes patients reported to have been referred to a dietitian by their doctor and another 5.7% have visited a dietitian on their own initiative. Five out of 6 referrals were at diabetes diagnosis. The number of encounters with a dietitian ranged from 1 to 24 with patients seeking to loose weight having the greater number of encounters. Of type 2 diabetes patients 94.3% did not receive lifestyle advice before commencing diabetes medication whereas 25% did not receive any dietary advice by any health professional even after starting medication.ConclusionsIn our cohort the majority of diabetes patients had not received dietary counseling by a dietitian, whereas about one fourth of type 2 diabetes patients had not received any dietary advice.

ObjectiveWe examined changes in prevalence of diabetic microvascular/macrovascular complications and diabetes care indicators for adults in Japan with type 2 and type 1 diabetes over one decade.Research design and methodsTwo independent cohorts were recruited with the same inclusion criteria in 2004 (cohort 1: 3319 with type 2 and 286 with type 1 diabetes) and in 2014 (cohort 2: 3932 with type 2 and 308 with type 1 diabetes). Prevalence of complications and care indicators including achieving treatment targets for glycemia, blood pressure, lipid control, body mass index (BMI), and smoking were compared. In addition, patients in cohort 1 were re-examined in 2014 and their data were compared with the baseline data of each cohort.ResultsIn type 2 diabetes, the prevalence of nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, chronic kidney disease, current smoking and stroke significantly decreased, with improvements in achieving treatment target rates in cohort 2 two as compared with cohort 1. In type 1 diabetes, the prevalence of nephropathy, retinopathy, chronic kidney disease, and hemoglobin A1Cvalues significantly decreased. Decreases in prevalence of microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes were similarly found in each age-matched and sex-matched group, whereas younger patients exhibited marked increase in BMI and lower treatment target achieving rates compared with elderly patients. Regarding normoalbuminuric renal impairment, only a slight increase in the prevalence was observed both in type 2 and type 1 diabetes. In cohort 1, re-examined in 2014, care indicators were significantly improved from 2004, while complications increased with getting 10 years older.ConclusionsWe observed declining trends of diabetic microvascular complications with improvement in diabetes care indicators in type 2 and type 1 diabetes. Younger patients with type 2 diabetes exhibited marked increase in BMI and lower rates of achieving treatment targets compared with elderly patients, which remains a concern.
