The fasting period of Ramadan requires special attention for diabetic patients in particular.To determine the impacts of a nutritional education program before Ramadan fasting (RF) on dietary intake, anthropometry and body composition.This was an interventional and comparative study including 54 type 2 diabetic patients, recruited at the National Institute of Nutrition. The patients were divided into two groups: an educated group who received a nutritional education session before Ramadan (n=26), and an uneducated group who did not receive any education (n=28). Food survey, anthropometry and body composition measurements were conducted before and after the month of Ramadan.During RF, a significantly decrease in carbohydrate intake was observed in both educated and uneducated patients (∆=-4.1 vs. ∆=-6.25). Lipid intake was increased significantly during RF for all patients. This increase was lower in patients receiving education compared to the other group (3.4±7.43 vs. 5.25±5.7). During RF, a significant increase in protein, saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids intake was shown in the uneducated group compared to educated group (respectively, ∆=1.19±2.30 vs. ∆ =1.06±7.10, ∆=3.40±7.43 vs. ∆=5.25±5.70 and ∆=2.23±5.60 vs. ∆=2.31±5.10). The weight loss was similar between the two groups of educated (-1.05 kg) and uneducated (-0.58 kg) patients. There was no significant change in body composition during Ramadan in both groups of diabetics.Nutritional education programs positively impact diabetic patients who prefer RF or insist to fast during Ramadan. These programs must be provided to diabetics before Ramadan. |
