About this study

Official title: Association Between Dietary Pattern and Glycemic Control Among Type 2 Diabetes Patients in the United Arab Emirates: A Retrospective Cross-sectional Study

Poor glycemic control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is due to multiple factors and suboptimal dietary pattern is one of them .Assessing eating/dietary patterns (combinations of different foods or food groups) among individuals with diabetes may be beneficial in understanding the focus areas of dietary modification among the Emirati community and further developing dietary interventions for management of T2D. Only a few observational studies are reported in this region exploring the eating practices, although none to the investigators knowledge described the frequency of consumption of food groups in the T2D patients in the United Arab Emirates(UAE). Hence, in this study the investigators aim to describe the trends in frequency of consumption of food groups and analyze the association of frequency of food item consumption and glycemic control among the T2D UAE patients.

This retrospective cross sectional study will include the data from Hospital information system of 800+ T2D patients to describe the trends in frequency of consumption of food groups and analyze the possible association of frequency of food group/item consumption and glycemic control.

Read the detailed description

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) burden is not only increasing globally but also in the middle east region. Dietary intake plays a crucial role in ameliorating glycemia and other risk factors ,The aim of this study is to describe the trends in frequency of consumption of food groups and possible association with glycemic control among theT2D UAE patients.

This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted among 800+ T2D diabetic aged ≥ 18 years, attending Rashid Centre for Diabetes and Research(RCDR) Centre located in UAE during January 2011 until January 2015. The dietary data will be collected from hospital records generated by dietitians after an interview based consultation using a structured pre-tested questionnaire. Multiple regression techniques will be used for model building, to determine the separate contribution of known confounders and food items with high carbohydrate and glycemic control.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. association between frequency of food group/item consumption and HbA1c among T2D patients

    to develop a regression model of association between frequency of food consumption and poor glycemic control (HbA1c<7%)

    Measured: January 2011 until January 2015

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To measure the percentage of frequency of consumption of food groups among T2D patients ,

    assess the food frequency consumption of food groups and food items

    Measured: January 2011 until January 2015

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dietary Habits, run by Rashid Centre for Diabetes and Research at 1 site in United Arab Emirates.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Arab Emirates. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

association between frequency of food group/item consumption and HbA1c among T2D patients (time frame: January 2011 until January 2015). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03388229, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
