Abstract:
Diet is one of the main factors in triggering glycemic parameters of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Present study aimed to determine the association between dietary intake and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM. The facts on dietary intake were collected using 24-hour recall from patients (n=158, age 30-60 years) with newly diagnosed T2DM who attended the University Medical Clinic, Karapitiya Teaching Hospital, Sri Lanka. Percentage of HbA1C was estimated. Demographic, life-style and family history of diabetes data were collected.
