| dc.description.abstract | Background Controlled diet plays a major role in delaying diseases progression among diabetes patients. Diabetes patients often have difficulty of identifying the recommended type, quality and quantity of diet. Knowledge of a recommended diet for diabetes patients influences patient’s food selection and dietary pattern .This study aimed to assess the dietary pattern of type 2 diabetes patients in relation to the recommended dietary guideline and identify the patterns with optimal glycemic control. Objective: To assess the dietary pattern and knowledge of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients on the recommended diet in public hospitals Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: The study employed Institutional based cross-sectional study design from July 2015 to June 2016.We used a semi quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) with 67 food items to evaluate the dietary pattern and nutrient intake of type 2 diabetes patients. We identified dietary patterns using factor analysis. The relationship between the dietary patterns and glycemic control was investigated by multivariate regression analysis using STATA version12.1. Result- A total of 385 patients with diabetes were included in the study. Five dietary patterns were identified. The dietary patterns were; (i) the “cereals, vegetable, legumes and fruits”, (ii) the “cereal, meat, vegetable and wine”, (iii) the “fast food” and (iv) the” vegetable and coffee”, (v) the “sweet and dairy product” dietary pattern. Carbohydrate mean intake was higher than the recommended daily allowance while energy is lower but the intake of total fat, protein, and fiber were within the recommended daily allowance. The “cereals, vegetable legumes and fruits”, and the “cereal, meat, vegetable and wine” dietary patterns were positively associated with good glycemic control. Poor dietary knowledge was found in more than half (55.8%) of the patients. Conclusion and recommendation.-Being a member of diabetes association and those who got more advice from a doctor were more likely to follow healthy dietary pattern. Those who follows varied pattern (vegetable, fruit, legumes & cereal) based had good control of glycemia. More than half of the patients had poor dietary knowledge. Integrating dietary education in the management of diabetes mellitus could lead to better outcome.
