“…8 Long-term and the gravity of complications of type 2 diabetes are significantly related to the diet quality and to the nutritional management of the disease. 5,9 In Kenya, there is scanty data on the factors associated with the dietary practices and nutritional status of diabetic patients which are critical in informing appropriate interventions. It is on this appreciation and role of nutrition on diabetes care/management, that this study undertook an investigation of the predictors of dietary practices and nutritional status of diabetic patients in Kiambu County.…”

Background: Diabetes type 2 has become a serious global health threat due to its increasing prevalence particularly among African countries. Numerous scientific evidence points out on the importance of an individual’s dietary practices and nutritional status in its prevention and management. The objective of the study was to identify the predictors of dietary practices and nutritional status among diabetes type 2 patients.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study and a total of 153 study subjects were recruited. A pretested researcher administered questionnaire was used to collect data. The data was analyzed using both bivariate and multivariate logistic regression.Results: The study established significant associations (p<0.05, at 95% C.I) between participants’ education level (AOR=4.72), occupation (AOR=2.41), monthly income (AOR=6.02) and level of dietary knowledge (AOR=2.33) and their dietary practices. Further, there was a significant association between nutritional status and education level (AOR=1.26), monthly income (AOR=1.72), level of dietary knowledge (AOR=1.11) and dietary diversity (AOR=1.62). Majority of the participants were obese (51%).Conclusions: Majority of the participants were obese. Dietary knowledge, education level, occupation, monthly income and dietary practices were the factors associated with the patients’ dietary practices and nutritional status. Up-scaling of interventions targeting these variables is thus crucial. Further, reinforcing the need for healthy dietary practices and optimal nutritional status is critical in the prevention and management of diabetes.

“…Moreover, pharmacotherapy, regular physical activity, and medical nutrition therapy have long been demonstrated to have integral roles in achieving individualized treatment goals in diabetes chronic management [ 6 , 7 ]. The coordination of vast context of diabetes self-management, education/training, and treatment planning with active participation of the patient (and his/her family), particularly in the area of carbohydrate counting regarding insulin regimen and the development of an individualized eating plan, is highly recommended [ 7 ].…”

Nowadays, the introduction of the so-called ‘diabetes technology’, either hardware/device or software, to different aspects of day-to-day living in patients with diabetes aims to improve blood glucose control and various lifestyle features. The coordination of vast context of diabetes education/training, particularly in the area of medical nutrition therapy, is considered as a great concern. On the other hand, Iranian food culture consists of a set of traditional dietary patterns and food consumption habit. The study was aimed to develop “the Comprehensive Mobile Application of Advanced Carbohydrate Counting and Diet- and Insulin-Regimen Planning” to help type 1 diabetic patients, improving their health status. The programming language of Kotlin, JavaScript, Node JS, and HTML5 was used for the mobile app development. The app was developed with the following abilities: 1) educating users on different aspects of disease control including, updated general treatment guidelines on physical activity, medical nutrition and insulin therapy, stress management, and the patient’s specific goals and dietary needs, 2) performing advanced carbohydrate counting using both picture-represented and kitchen-scale of carbohydrate foods as well as traditional Iranian foods, 3) recommending the patient’s specific insulin dose, either short- or rapid-acting, based on the carbohydrate content of the selected meal or the selected amount of Iranian foods, 4) recommending the personalized insulin dose needed for decreasing the high blood glucose levels, and 5) performing 3 and 4 simultaneously. Developing Carbulin was an effort to increase type 1 diabetes self-management using the traditional Iranian dietary pattern and menu.

While the bigger burden of DM has for a long time been a problem among developed countries, it seems to be steadily shifting focus to Africa as well as other economically underprivileged regions.…”

Currently, 463 million adults across the globe are living with diabetes. If undeterred, this figure is projected to rise to 700 million by 2045. About 79% of adult diabetics live in Africa; majority of whom are undiagnosed. Several interventions are already available, but the disease prevalence seems steady on an upward trajectory. The economic cost of managing diabetes is overwhelming considering that type II cases have overly and audaciously continues to rise. This underpins the need for exploration of more feasible and relatively inexpensive interventions. We profiled the role of micronutrients in the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus (DM). Findings from 10 studies published in highly refereed journals and indexed in Research Gate, PubMed, and Elsevier were synthesized, collated, and reported. Guidelines such as year of publication, conflict of interest, type of journal, research design among others, informed the process of study selection. The level of Selenium (Se) and Copper (Cu) was higher when HBA1C was higher. Further, the level of Mg, P, K, & Vitamin D correlated inversely with HBA1C. Some studies reported increased levels of Zinc (Zn) in DM subjects while others reported a decrease. Diabetes mellitus subjects should reduce intake of Se and Cu and increase intake of Mg, P, K, & Vitamin D.
