Abstract:

Background: Medical nutrition therapy can control blood sugars during early stage. Recognizing patients prone to non-compliance to diet-care isof utmost importance. This study aimed to find the level of diabetic dietcare among adult diabetics in East Delhi.Methods: In a cross sectional study, ۱۵۰ adult diabetics in a resettlement colony of East Delhi were enrolled. Eight diabetics, each from all ۲۱ subblocks were randomly sampled. Data was collected using diet items of revised Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities. Frequency of dietcare as number of days/week (۰-۷) and mean scores were calculated. The predictors of non-compliance were found using linear regression.Results: Fifty-two subjects (۳۰.۹%) practiced diet control for all days/ week. Totally, ۲۵.۶% did not control their diet even for one day. Small proportion of ۰-۷.۱% reported intake of >۵ servings of fruits/vegetables. A total of ۳۶.۹% diabetics consumed high fat foods every day. The mean general diet scores ranged ۰-۷ with ۲۵% not following diet-care even for a day. Special diet scores ranged ۲-۷ with ۱.۸% scoring ۷. Absence of family support (p=۰.۰۲۲), treating with own funds (p=۰.۰۱۴) and inadequate advice on diet control (p=۰.۰۴۶) had inverse influence on general score, while being illiterate (p=۰.۰۲۸), and substance abuse (p=۰.۰۱۰) hadnegative influence on specific diet score.Conclusion: The overall diet-care among diabetics was low. The predictors of non-compliance were literacy status, family support, finances, advice on diet-care and substance abuse. Focussed nutritional assessment of diabetics and recommending diet should be done as a regular patient management strategy.
