Study Overview
Brief Summary
Type2 Diabetes is a serious chronic disease associated with numerous complications. It is pandemic disease due to worsening of diatery habits and westernization of diet. These complications contribute to nearly half (46.1%) of deaths occurring in adults under 60, the working-age population. With this alarming increase, and in order to decrease complications and diabetes-related mortality, this health problem requires a comprehensive management plan where patients should be educated to make informed decisions about diet, exercise, weight, and medications, as recommended by the American Diabetes Association (ADA).
the aim of the study is -to detect nutritional habits in our locality among diabetic patients comparing to non diabetics.
Detailed Description
Recent analysis has reported that for the management of diabetes, only pharmacologic approaches are not sufficient. The management of diabetes is a multifactorial process involving life style and dietery factors that influence the treatment outcomes. There are also patient-related factors, such as self-care behaviors, that have a strong influence on glycemic intolerance.
Diabetes management necessitates both medication and lifestyle adjustments, which are associated with a decreased risk of death. people with T2DM find dietary advice confusing, contradictory, and report that understanding and making healthy eating choices are the most challenging parts of living with the condition. Therefore, national guidelines recommend that all patients with T2DM should receive individualized, ongoing dietary advice from a health professional with expertise in nutrition. The role standing of diet in controlling of diabetes is considered imperative; still, diabetes patients are unaware of how they should approach this issue to ensure good glycaemiccontrol .in Egypt no sufficient screening about diatery habits .hypothesis:there is difference in diatery habits between patients with and without diabetes
