Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: A large percentage of T2DM patients, roughly 72% to 85% have dyslipidemia. The American Diabetes Association recommends a number of eating habits that are appropriate for managing type 2diabetes and reducing body mass index. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study included 215 patients with T2DM. The study was conducted from July 2022 to January 2023 in the diabetic unit at Assiut University Hospital. A personal interview questionnaire was used, including the socio-demographic characteristics, dietary habits, and physical activity. Result: Patients who follow a strict diet and engage in regular exercise had reduced blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, body mass index, and blood profile, as well as fewer problems related to diabetes. Conclusion: The results of the study demonstrate the beneficial relationships between dietary habits and body mass index and the problems of diabetes. Walking, frequent exercise, and a diet high in fiber all contribute to physical activity and the management of diabetes problems.
