Dietary changes and associations with metabolic improvements in adults with type 2 diabetes during a patient-centred dietary intervention: an exploratory analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Describe dietary intake of participants enrolled in a non-prescriptive dietary intervention and dietary changes at 6 months and explore whether these changes had a role in observed improvements in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), weight, lipids and blood pressure.

Design

Secondary analysis of data from the Early ACTivity in Diabetes randomised controlled trial.

Participants

262 patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes randomised to the dietary intervention.

Outcomes and analysis

Changes in energy intake, macronutrients, fibre and alcohol and in weight, waist circumference, lipids, HbA1c and blood pressure at baseline and 6 months. Multivariate models were used to examine associations between dietary changes and metabolic variables.
