Relationship between integrated control and dietary status in self-reported diabetes in Shanghai

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between physiological and biochemical indexes and dietary status in self-reported diabetes aged ≥35 years in Shanghai, and to provide the basis for the next step of nutritional intervention for diabetics.

MethodsData from Shanghai Chronic Disease Surveillance (2013) was used for analysis, including biomedical outcomes and dietary investigation.The t test and Chi-square test were used for univariate analyses and logistic regression was performed for multivariate analyses.

ResultsThe control rates of blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C and the four items of lipids were respectively 18.08%, 37.81%, 57.30%, 17.14%, 53.30%, 63.70%, 35.83% and 7.11% in self-reported diabetes patients, and the control rates of blood lipids were higher in men than in women (P < 0.01).Uncontrolled blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, TG, HDL-C might be related to insufficient or excessive intake of related dietary factors, except TC.

ConclusionDiabetes patients should strengthen the comprehensive intervention for reducing blood sugar, controlling blood pressure and lipid, carrying out scientific nutritional intervention, in addition to maintaining energy balance to ensure that all kinds of food intake are in line with the recommended dietary intake for Chinese residents.
