Abstract
A study on 300 adults diagnosed with T2DM selected by purposive random sampling was conducted at the diabetic clinic run at every weekend at the Health Center of Jiwaji University Gwalior. The study assessed the effect of nutritional counseling on food consumption, nutrient intake and dietary knowledge. The subjects were divided into two groups. Control group (Group-I 148 diabetic subjects) and the intervention group (Group-II 151 diabetic subjects). Food consumed and nutrient intake was recorded using the 24-hour recall method and dietary knowledge was assessed through a questionnaire. Slight change in food consumption and signicant increase in (p<0.01) protein and ber intake was noticed in the intervention group. Findings of the study indicated that nutritional counseling being provided helped the diabetic subjects to modify their nutrient intake and dietary knowledge to a considerable extent. This Study suggests that the duration of nutritional counseling should be longer with post-study follow-up.
