Abstract

Background. Diabetes is one of many diseases in which prevention and treatment are essentially based on proper nutrition. Nutritional education should be a constant, integral and indispensable part of the therapeutic procedure in diabetes.
Objectives. The aim of the study was an estimation of the nutritional habits of patients with type 2 diabetes before and after individual nutritional education and the answers to the question what influence this education had on the change of nutritional habits and the change of the anthropometric measurements of the patients.
Material and Methods. 148 patients of diabetes outpatient clinics participated in our study, which contained, among others, anthropometric measurements and carrying out a questionnaire that tested dietary habits. An individual nutrition plan was established and the individual dietary education of the patients was carried out on the basis of the gathered data. The nutritional habits and the anthropometric measurements were verified again three months after the education.
Results. The analysis of the results received revealed an occurrence of the differences between the incidence of proper nutritional habits and middle-values of body weight and waist size in the period before and after education. Before the education, an enormous amount of improper nutritional habits were found and the values of body weight and waist size were higher, while after the education the improvement of habits and a reduction in body weight and waist size were observed.
Conclusion. The results of our study carried out before the education revealed the occurrence of many unfavorable nutritional habits. As a result of the education, nutritional habits improved, which were simultaneously reflected in an improvement of the anthropometric parameters. The results of the studies carried out proved the efficiency and profitable influence of dietary education on changes to the nutritional habits of respondents.

Key words
