Abstract

The management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus requires a combination of medications and lifestyle changes. The present study was undertaken to correlate the dietary practices, anthropometric and biochemical parameters with the RDA of macronutrients. A cross sectional study consisting diabetic patients (n=50) visiting OPD at a tertiary care hospital were selected. Their anthropometry, food habits and dietary recall were analyzed. Out of 50 subjects, 58% were having normal BMI, 14% were hypertensive. A positive correlation (r=0.23) was observed between Blood pressure and BMI. The mean nutrient intake were Energy 1444 (±470) Kcal, Protein 40.26(±14.15) gm, Fats 28.60(±15.23) gm and Carbohydrate 193.28(±108.9) gm. About half of the subjects were achieving 50% of the calorie requirement, 60% of them were fulfilling 75% RDA for protein. Conclusion: MNT Goals should include maintenance of Ideal body weight along with lifestyle modifications besides maintaining the desired blood sugar levels. This will help in better compliance in management of diabetes.
