THE POSSIBILITIES OF ASSESSING THE ACTUAL NUTRITION USING A COMPUTER PROGRAM
Introduction. Patients suffering from diabetes mellitus should be aware of the importance of daily intake of vitamins and minerals with a properly balanced diet, since people with poorly controlled diabetes often experience a deficiency of trace elements. Self-management training in type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the strategically important areas in the management of patients with this nosology. One of the tools is the use of electronic applications as a power analysis assistant.
The aim of our study is to evaluate the actual nutrition using an electronic application in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Materials and methods. The study design is a cross-sectional clinical study, without a control group. The study involved 156 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 62 of them men and 94 women. The patients were interviewed together with a trained specialist on the proposed sections of the program. The finished conclusion was automatically created by the application itself, which took into account anthropometric data, diet, and its quantitative and qualitative indicators. The researchers analyzed the macro- and micronutrient composition of food products of patients with DM2.
Conclusions. In the study, we obtained an imbalance of macronutrients in the diet of patients with DM2 towards carbohydrates with normal consumption of proteins and fats. To a greater extent, this was expressed in men. Low rates of consumption of almost all micronutrients in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were also revealed: calcium, magnesium, iodine, iron, selenium, zinc.
