Abstract
Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) is a metabolic disorder of multiple etiologies due to disturbances of carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. It is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia associated with cardiovascular and renal complications. These complications result in diminished quality of life and reduced life expectancy. The present study has been aimed to observe the dietary pattern of 100 clinically diagnosed diabetic patients belonging to different areas of Jammu who were visiting Government Medical Hospital for the treatment of the disease. The information on dietary pattern of the diabetics included type of diet, frequency of non-vegetarian / ovo vegetarian diet, consumption of artificial sweeteners, junk foods, sweets, table sugar, fried foods, extra salt intake and type of milk consumed. The present study findings suggest that the diabetic patients in majority were taking vegetarian diet while those who were consuming Non-vegetarian / Ovo-vegetarian diet, junk foods, sweets, fried foods were taking it occasionally only. The diabetics in majority were found to be regular consumers of artificial sweeteners and the consumption of 1-2 teaspoons of table sugar has been recorded among both male and female diabetic patients while they were not in habit of sprinkling extra salt in their foods. The regular consumption of refined oil and double toned milk has also been found among majority of the diabetic patients.
