<![CDATA[Background:Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from impaired insulin secretion or effectiveness. Blood glucose stability is influenced by various factors, including patients’ adherence to a diabetes diet. Dietary adherence involves selecting appropriate types and amounts of food and maintaining regular meal times to support glycemic stability. However, adherence to recommended dietary patterns among patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus remains inconsistent. Methods: This study employed a quantitative design with an analytical observational approach and prospective longitudinal follow-up. A total of 67 respondents were included as the sample. Dietary adherence was measured using the PDAQ, while blood glucose levels were assessed through random blood glucose (RBG) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) examinations. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses, with the Pearson Chi-Square test used to examine the relationship between dietary adherence and RBG and FBG categories. Results: Most respondents had moderate dietary adherence (55.2%). Abnormal glucose levels were found in 56.7% of respondents based on RBG and 64.2% based on FBG. Dietary adherence was not significantly associated with RBG but was significantly associated with FBG, with a Gamma coefficient of 0.778. Conclusion: Dietary adherence was significantly associated with FBG levels among patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, indicating that better dietary adherence tends to be associated with more optimal basal glycemic control.]]>
