Abstract
Background: The main reason why diabetic patients are unable to control their blood sugar levels is improper dietary habits. Whether it is eating too sweet food, eating too much or not eating at all times
Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental design that aimed to determine the effect of promoting food consumption program for type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2) patient with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. The sample was uncontrolled blood sugar levels patient, totaling 71 patients who live in Rattaphum district, Songkhla province that divided patients into experimental group (n=34) and control groups (n=37). The instruments included a questionnaire toward knowledge about diabetes, attitudes, and behavior about food consumption for patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, food plates model. Furthermore, this program used various activities including group talks and discussions about diabetes, meal planning, sharing experiences toward food consumption, and measuring sweetness in foods. Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, paired t-test, independent t–test, Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed ranks test, Mann Whitney u test, and chi-square test.
Results: The result showed patients in the experimental group had lower blood glucose than the control groups (p = 0.033). However, knowledge (p = 0.186), attitudes (p = 0.375), and behavior about food consumption (p = 0.089) between the experimental and control groups did not differ (p-value > 0.05). The results suggest activities in this program, especially food plate model and food record could reduce blood glucose among patients.
Conclusions: The blood glucose values of patients between the experimental group and the uncontrolled diabetic control group were different
