Abstract

Background: Formal nutrition education improves diabetes management. We aimed to assess the effects of formal nutrition education on anthropometric indices, lipid profile, and glycemic control of patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Pubmed, Scopus, and Embase were searched. Randomized controlled trial design which evaluated nutritional education programs in adults with type 2 diabetes were selected. Results: Twenty-six publications were included in analysis. Formal nutrition education reduced glycated hemoglobin (− 0.72%; 95% CI: − 0.95, − 0.49), fasting blood glucose (− 13.40 mmol/L; 95% CI: − 22.47, − 4.34), total cholesterol (− 6.28 mmol/L; 95% CI: − 10.77, − 1.79), triacylglycerol (− 17.26 mmol/L; 95% CI: − 29.10, − 5.42), waist circumference (− 2.02 cm; 95% CI: − 3.11, − 0.92), diastolic blood pressure (− 2.92 mmHg; 95% CI: − 4.74, − 1.11), and systolic blood pressure (− 6.16 mmHg; 95% CI: − 11.03, − 1.28). However, no significant differences were observed in formal education for body mass index, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Conclusions: Formal nutrition education in type 2 diabetic patients can improve fasting blood glucose levels, glycated hemoglobin, reduce total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, blood pressure, and waist circumference. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Research Society for Study of Diabetes in India.
