Abstrakt: Objective: To describe changes in eating behavior and analyze subjects' perceptions regarding a diabetes diet.
Methods: Qualitative study was conducted with 45 semistructured interviews; 21 men and 24 women who had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes were included. Sample size was determined by theoretical sampling. Responses were grouped into codes that described concepts, themes, and subthemes.
Results: Three phases were identified: initial, accommodation-adaptation, and crisis. The most significant difficulties were controlling appetite increase, replacing animal fats with vegetable fats and meat with legumes and vegetables, and eating with others.
Conclusions and Implications: Eating behavior changes over time, with several stages, when a person lives with type 2 diabetes. Strict adherence to diet is only temporary and short-term. Further research is needed to help ill persons after they receive their first diet prescription.
