Even if patient's dietary practice is a gold standard measure to manage type 2 diabetes, there is a limited study in the area. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess dietary practice and associated factors among type 2 diabetic patients.
The study revealed that only 35.9% of the patients had good dietary practice. Attending above primary education [AOR = 1.9, 95% CI (1.1, 3.2)], having family support [AOR = 2.6, 95% CI (1.6, 4.2)], and receiving nutrition education [AOR = 2.5, 95% CI (1.5, 4.2)] were independent predictors for good dietary practice. Thus, the findings indicate the need to improve a method of nutrition education both for the patients and their families. Moreover, the government needs to improve literacy rate of citizens.
尽管患者的饮食习惯是管理2型糖尿病的金标准措施，但该领域的研究有限。因此，本研究的目的是评估2型糖尿病患者的饮食习惯及相关因素。
研究显示，只有35.9%的患者有良好的饮食习惯。接受过小学以上教育[调整后比值比（AOR）=1.9，95%置信区间（CI）（1.1，3.2）]、有家庭支持[AOR=2.6，95%CI（1.6，4.2）]以及接受营养教育[AOR=2.5，95%CI（1.5，4.2）]是良好饮食习惯的独立预测因素。因此，研究结果表明需要改进针对患者及其家庭的营养教育方法。此外，政府需要提高公民的识字率。
