520 |a Background: Prevalence of type 2 diabetes is very high in Kerala when compared to other states. Effective management of diabetes can prevent or delay the complication. Diet control is an important component in diabetes management. Very few studies have looked into the dietary pattern among diabetic patients which forms the rationale for the present study. This study aimed to assess the dietary pattern and factors associated with it among self-reported diabetic patients in Malappuram. Methodology: A cross- sectional survey was done among diabetic patients in Malappuram block Panchayath. Cluster sampling method was used where all eligible diabetic patients were included from the randomly selected wards of the block Panchayath. A structured interview schedule was used to assess the dietary pattern; factors associated with it and risk perception of frequent consumption of food. A single composite outcome – good dietary pattern was created out of five dependent variables. Analysis was done in SPSS Version 17. Results: The prevalence of self- reported diabetes and good dietary practice among diabetic patients is 11.6% and 20.4 % respectively. Factors like self-reported difficulty in consuming a healthy diet [AOR:0.19(0.09—0.41)], presence of family support [AOR:2.89(1.24-6.75)], role for other persons in controlling dietary pattern [AOR:2.23(1.07-4.66)] and frequent blood sugar monitoring practice [AOR:2.74(1.27-5.94)] were significantly associated with good dietary pattern. Conclusion: Good dietary pattern among the diabetes patients was found to be very low. So improvement in the dietary pattern can be done only with strategies such as diet counseling that may help persons overcome perceived difficulties and also to obtain support from family members or others who may be willing to help control the dietary pattern
