Abstract

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eating motivation on Mediterranean diet adherence, glycemia and lipid profile in individuals with type 2 diabetes. A questionnaire consisting of general information, eating motivation scale and Mediterranean diet adherence scale was applied to 400 individuals with diabetes. Height, weight, plasma glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein values were measured. Environmental and political, health, commercial and marketing, economic and affordability motivations are effective in individuals with diabetes. Emotional motivation and social motivation were positively correlated with body mass index, HbA1C, total cholesterol, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein levels. Health motivation increased the likelihood of having glucose levels below 130 mg/dl. Individuals with diabetes were influenced by eating motivations and these motivations were associated with adherence to the Mediterranean diet and glycemia. Eating motivation may be effective in the management of type 2 diabetes.
