摘要：The pattern of dietary habits and how this affected glycemic control in diabetics in Eastern Nigeria was investigated. In this study, about 48% of the diabetic patients` diets used plantain as the only carbohydrate source while 52.4% took diets that included various sources of carbohydrate but at reduced levels. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) between the glycemic control of both groups as judged by their glycated hemoglobin levels. However, subjects using multiple carbohydrate sources had significantly higher BMI (p< 0.05) than those on plantain. We conclude that multiple food sources, if well regulated, would control diabetes and find better acceptance among diabetics than a single carbohydrate source.
