Statement of the problem:
There is paucity of data on
nutritional intake in low BMI (BMI) Asian Indians with
Diabetes.
Aim:
To study the difference in nutrient pattern in lean Type
1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and Fibro-calcific Pancreatic
Diabetes (FCPD) patients.
Methodology:
This cross-sectional study consisted of
T1DM (n = 40) and FCPD patients (n = 20) who were
gender and BMI matched Nutritional data was collected
using 24 hour recall method and food diary. Fasting blood
samples were analyzed for lipid profile, serum creatinine,
glycosylated hemoglobin, albumin, calcium and vitamin
D. Stool samples were analyzed for pancreatic elastase.
Percentage analysis, Independent sample t test and
Pearson Coefficient Correlation were used to analyze
the data. P value < 0.05 was considered as statistically
significant.
Findings:
The FCPD patients had a significantly lower
vitamin D status compared to the TIDM group (p=0.035)
however, hemoglobin, triglycerides, low density lipoproteins,
creatinine, albumin and calcium were similar between the
groups. Further, FCPD patients had a significant higher
intake of fat (p=0.039), fibre (p=0.000), calcium (p=0.047),
phosphorous (p=0.035), and niacin (p=0.001) and calories
from fat (p=0.047). The TIDM group had a significantly
higher intake of thiamine (p=0.047) and carbohydrates
(p=0.014).
Conclusion:
TIDM and FCPD groups have similar dietary
pattern with deficit in fibre, calories, macronutrients and
micronutrients. Malabsorption and poor glycaemic control
in FCPD patients can be attributed to a higher dietary fat
intake. A balanced diet can ensure better glycemic control.
