Blood Sugar Level, Diabetic, Nutritional statusAbstract
Globally, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has become a common chronic illness due to dietary changes, sedentary lifestyles and urbanisation. With the rising prevalence of diabetes, understanding the role of nutrition is crucial for effective management. A study was conducted in 2023 with 100 diabetic adults, to assess their dietary intake, anthropometric measurements and blood sugar levels. Nutritional status was evaluated using standard indices viz., Body Mass Index (BMI),Waist circumference (WC) and Abdominal fat (AF). The association between nutritional status and blood sugar levels among diabetic adults was also statistically analyzed. The mean waist circumference was found to be 96.84±13.13 cm for males and 100.5±14.69 cm for females which is greater than the normal value. A large number of diabetic adults (50.0%) were found to have a higher FBS (>125mg/dl) and 49.0 percent of the respondents were seen to have higher PPBS levels (>200 mg/dl). The blood parameters of the respondents were found to be greater than the normal values. A positively significant association was found between Body Mass Index and Central Obesity with elevated blood sugar levels as the 2 observed value (19.035) was found to be less than the 2 calculated value (19.975). Participants with a balanced diet exhibited better glycemic control, while those with inadequate nutrient intake showed higher fasting blood sugar levels. These findings implicate that nutritional interventions are vital for good diabetes management and reducing complications.
