We examined self-care dietary practices and usual intakes among adults with Type 2 diabetes in Alberta, Canada, using data from the Healthy Eating and Active Living for Diabetes study. Participants completed a modified Fat\/Sugar\/Fruit\/Vegetable Screener and answered questions about the number of days per week they followed specific diabetes self-care dietary recommendations. Capillary blood samples were collected to assess glycemic control measured by hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). ANOVA was used to examine differences in dietary self-care, intakes, and glycemic control across categories of days\/week of practicing recommended dietary behaviour. Participants (n = 196) were 51% women, mean ± SD age 59.6 ± 8.5 years, with BMI 33.6 ± 6.5 kg\/m(2), and diabetes duration of 5.1 ± 6.3 years. Sixteen percent of participants were unfamiliar with low-GI eating and 28% did not include low-GI foods in their diet. Overall, lower mean intake of saturated fat, trans fat, added sugars, higher fibre, and greater GI were each associated with meeting diabetes-related dietary behaviours including: eating ≥5 servings of vegetables and fruit; avoiding processed high fat foods; and replacing high with low-GI foods (P < 0.05). No clear pattern was observed for low-GI eating and HbA1c.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","mots_cles":[],"class_list":["post-16367","resume","type-resume","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"adresse":"School of Public Health, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB.\r\nnonsikelelo.mathe@ualberta.ca","annee":"2016","mois":"10","numero":":","page":"1-6","auteurs":[{"ID":16362,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 19:37:49","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 18:37:49","post_content":"","post_title":"Steven T Johnson","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"steven-t-johnson","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 19:37:49","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 18:37:49","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/steven-t-johnson\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9478,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 18:11:35","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:11:35","post_content":"","post_title":"Jeffrey A Johnson","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jeffrey-a-johnson","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 18:11:35","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:11:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/jeffrey-a-johnson\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":14512,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 19:10:33","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 18:10:33","post_content":"","post_title":"Kate E Storey","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"kate-e-storey","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 19:10:33","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 18:10:33","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/kate-e-storey\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16363,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 19:37:50","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 18:37:50","post_content":"","post_title":"Nonsikelelo Mathe","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nonsikelelo-mathe","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 19:37:50","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 18:37:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/nonsikelelo-mathe\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16364,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 19:37:51","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 18:37:51","post_content":"","post_title":"Hayford M Avedzi","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hayford-m-avedzi","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 19:37:51","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 18:37:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/hayford-m-avedzi\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":16365,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 19:37:51","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 18:37:51","post_content":"","post_title":"Stephanie Bearman","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"stephanie-bearman","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 19:37:51","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 18:37:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/stephanie-bearman\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"sources":[{"ID":16366,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 19:37:52","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 18:37:52","post_content":"","post_title":"Can J Diet Pract Res.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"can-j-diet-pract-res","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 19:37:52","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 18:37:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/source\/can-j-diet-pract-res\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"source","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"yoast_head":"\n
