Abstract
Hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance and poor glucose control are among the risk factors of the cognitive decline among elderly adults with diabetes mellitus (DM). This prospective cohort study recruited participants aged from 50 to 70 years, and had type 2 DM for at least 10 years in the Department of Endocrinology. Two groups, the dietitian-coached (DC) group (n=26) and control group (n=12) were assigned. The DC group received diabetes educational intervention (DEI) every 3 months and group health education. Dietary records, diet questionnaire, clinical measurements, and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were collected at the baseline and after one year of intervention. The results showed that there were no significant differences in blood glucose, blood lipid, and MMSE score between the two groups after intervention. However, the dietary knowledge score was significantly higher in the DC group. We concluded that the DEI is helpful to the dietary concept in lipid con trol.
