The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a significant difference in dietary adherence of adult type 2 diabetic patients after receiving two or more nutrition education sessions from a Registered Dietitian compared to adult type 2 diabetic patients after receiving no education or a single nutrition education session. The Pathophysiology and Care Management Algorithm of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus provided a conceptual framework and the dietary adherence was obtained using an adapted version of The Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities questionnaire. The results indicate a statistically significant difference (p = 0.02) in dietary adherence between the two groups (n = 33), determined by a t-test comparing the mean number of responses on diet questions for each group. This study and corresponding research indicate there is greater dietary adherence with more nutrition intervention from a Registered Dietitian.71 References a#39; American Dietetic Association.
