This causes major damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves with time. The objective of the research was to evaluate the relationship between dietary recommendations and associated factors among Pakistani adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) Patients.

Only 23 (19.17%) out of 120 patients showed satisfactory dietary adherence. People involved who lived in a single-family household had an AOR of 2.6 (95% confidence interval: 1.2–7.6), the participant who could afford the recommended diet had an AOR of 2.8 (95% confidence interval: 1.2–8.4), participants had self-control over their eating habits had an AOR of 4.2 (95% confidence interval: 1.3–14.2), participants engaged in moderate-to-intense physical activity had an AOR of 3.6 (95% confidence interval: 1.3–9.4), Persons with T2DM have inadequate obedience to dietary recommendations. Family background, accessibility of the suggested diet, food self-control, exercise, and medication are all strongly linked to how well T2DM patients follow dietary recommendations.
