Abstract

Background and Aims: To promote healthier lifestyle in type 2 diabetics (T2D) with high cardiovascular risk, dietary habits were evaluated during one-year follow-up. Methods: At consecutive visits (1, 3, 6, 9, 12 month), a 2-d 24-h dietary recall (24HDR) was administered. Weights of food were estimated using a standard reference guide and analysed using Microdiet software that produces a real time report that indicates total energy and nutrients intake, the percentage of energy from protein, fat, and carbohydrate, nutrient totals (comparable with reference values) Results: Data from 20 T2D patients (60±5 y, BMI 31±6 kg/m2, HbA1c 7.7±1.5%) have been analysed and compared with Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs). Dietary energy intake was 1663±443 kcal/d. The percentage of energy from protein was 18±4%, carbohydrate 48±8, lipid 32±8%. Daily intake of fiber was 18±7 g/d, cholesterol 198±123 mg/d, saturated fat 16±7 g/d, monounsaturated 26±12 g/d, polyunsaturated 13±12 g/d. Were inadequate the intakes of folic acid (282±133 μg), vitamin D (median 1.0 μg), vitamin E (8.5±4.1 mg), and calcium (635±257 mg/day). Conclusions: Present study confirms widespread unhealthy dietary behaviours in healthy subjects, type 1 diabetics and relatives living in Pisa. The distribution of energy sources was incorrect. Daily dietary carbohydrate and fiber consumption did not match general guidelines. More than 30% of energy intake was derived from fat (P:S ratio <1.0). Estimated daily intakes of calcium, folates, vitamin D and vitamin E were deficient. An unexpected health issue was the evidence of mild to moderate combined element and vitamin deficient intakes in seemingly well-nourished adults.
