BACKGROUND Presently, dietary management approaches are mostly oriented toward using calorie-counting and diet-tracking tools that draw our attention away from the nutritional value of our food. To improve individuals’ dietary behavior, primarily that of people with type 2 diabetes, a simple technique is needed to increase their understanding of the nutritional content of their food. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to design, develop, and evaluate a customized nutrient-profiling tool called <i>EasyNutrition</i>. <i>EasyNutrition</i> was built to introduce the new concept of nutrient profiling by applying the Intelligent Nutrition Engine, an algorithm that we developed for ranking different food recipes based on their nutritional value. This study also aimed to investigate the efficacy of <i>EasyNutrition</i> in lowering glycated hemoglobin (HbA<sub>1c</sub>) levels and improving dietary habits among people with type 2 diabetes. METHODS We evaluated the utility of <i>EasyNutrition</i> using design science research in three sequential stages. This paper has elaborated on the third stage to investigate the efficacy of <i>EasyNutrition</i> in managing type 2 diabetes. A quasi-experimental study was conducted in a diabetes treatment center (n=28). The intervention group utilized <i>EasyNutrition</i> over 3 months, whereas participants in the control group utilized the standard of care provided by the center. Dietary habits and HbA<sub>1c</sub> levels were measured to capture any change before and after experimenting with <i>EasyNutrition</i>. RESULTS The intervention group (n=9) exhibited a statistically significant change between the pre- and postexposure results of their HbA<sub>1c</sub> (<i>t</i><sub>9</sub>=2.427; <i>P</i>=.04). Their HbA<sub>1c</sub> dropped from 8.13 to 6.72. This provided preliminary evidence of the efficacy of using a customized nutrient-profiling app in reducing HbA<sub>1c</sub> for people with type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSIONS This study adds to the evidence base that a nutrient-profiling strategy may be a modern adjunct to diabetes dietary management. In conjunction with reliable dietary education provided by a registered dietician, <i>EasyNutrition</i> may have some beneficial effects to improve the dietary habits of people with type 2 diabetes.

Hba1c Levels

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is a highly prevalent disease, the progression of which depends on high blood glucose levels, which are reflected in the level of glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c). Appropriate health education equips patients with the knowledge and skills to control their glucose and HbA1c levels to avoid long-term complications. This study was set up to compare the results of an intensive (360 min) educational intervention to improve HbA1c parameters in patients with DM2 with those of a usual 90 min intervention. For this purpose, healthcare personnel led a quasi-experimental study of 249 diabetics: 171 in the control group, and 78 in the intervention group. In the control group, the mean HbA1c value decreased from 6.97 to 6.75, while in intervention group it fell from 8.97 to 8.06. The before and after mean difference between both groups was compared with a Wilcoxon test, and the results statistically significant (W = 4530; p < 0.001), indicating a higher reduction of HbA1c in the intervention group. We concluded that the intensive health education provided by nurses during the consultation helped improve HBA1c levels in persons with DM2.

In this experimental study we have investigated whether the inclusion of the dietary fiberPlantago ovatahusk could be recommended as coadjuvant in treatments with oral hypoglycemic drugs. We evaluated the use ofPlantago ovatahusk-metformin association in diabetic rabbits by determining its effects on glucose and insulin concentrations. Six groups of 6 rabbits were used. Groups 1 to 3 were fed with standard chow and groups 4 to 6 with chow supplemented withPlantago ovatahusk (3.5 mg/kg/day). Two groups (numbers 1 and 4) were used as controls (receiving standard or supplemented chow), two groups (numbers 2 and 5) received metformin orally, and the other two (numbers 3 and 6) were treated orally with metformin and psyllium. Plasma glucose concentrations were lower in groups fed with fiber-supplemented chow whereas insulin levels showed important interindividual variations. Glucose pharmacokinetics parameters showed significant differences inCmaxandtmaxin relation to fiber intake. Insulin pharmacokinetics parameters after treatment with oral metformin showed an important increase inCmax, AUC, andtmaxin animals fed with fiber. We conclude thatPlantago ovatahusk intake can contribute to the oral antihyperglycemic treatment of type 2 diabetes.
