Abstract :
Background:
India has the largest population with diabetes. Despite
the rising prevalence of Diabetes, data on the dietary
profile of the Indian population in relation to the
recommendations are scarce. As India has diversity even in
diet patterns changing from region to region, the diet
plannings are standardised without taking into
consideration of the regional variation. This study is
intended to know the dietary pattern of diabetic patients of
this region and the gaps in their dietary patterns.
Objectives:
To study the diet patterns among the diabetic patients
in Hubballi taluk.
To understand the gaps in food habits among the
diabetic patients in Hubballi taluk.
To understand the diabetic diet and compare it with
the recommended dietary plan for diabetic patients
recommended by other standards.
Methodology:
A cross sectional study was conducted in Adult
Diabetic Population of field practice area of KIMS,
Hubballi with a semi- structured questionnaire to assess
the gap in food habits as per ICMR guidelines and data is
analyzed by SPSS version 25.
Results:
In our study 35.1% are overweight and 37.7% are
obese their mean calorie intake per day is 1500 Kcal/day
in that around 50% of carbohydrate is consumed, 25% of
protein and 25%of fats is consumed as compared to 40%
of carbohydrates, 35% of proteins and 25% of fats
recommended for diabetic patients.
Conclusion:
From this study, it is evident that majority of the
diabetic population have adequate knowledge about
diabetic diet and practices that are to be followed. It is
also evident that carbohydrate consumption is more and
protein is less in our study participants and there is a need
of formulating a diet plan according to the regional diet
pattern and personal BMI.
