Brief Summary

Adherence to a healthy dietary pattern is part of the self-care of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and may contribute substantially to therapeutic target goals and to a better quality of life as well. However, not all nutritional recommendations aimed at these patients are easily applicable in clinical practice. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a nutritional strategy for glycemic control in patients with T2DM users of a Public Health System after 6 months of follow-up. As secondary objectives, we will evaluate the impact of the proposed strategy on self-care and on the quality of life of the patients. In this randomized multicenter open-label randomized trial, 370 patients >30 years old with T2DM, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) ≥7% at the moment of the screening and who have not received or received nutritional counseling for at least 06 months will be enrolled. Patients allocated to the control group will receive individualized dietary prescription according to the guidelines of the Brazilian Society of Diabetes. Nutritional counseling in the intervention group will be performed based on the quality of the diet, the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population and concepts of mindfulness and mindful eating; all dietary guidance will be based on feasible goals built together (patient and nutritionist), and no diet will be prescribed for intervention group. In both groups, patients will receive glymeters for residential self-monitoring of glycemic levels. On-site follow-up visits will be carried out at 30, 60, 90, and 180 days (final consultation). At 120 and 150 days, participants in the intervention group will receive motivational messages via e-mail or SMS (for these patients, consultation of 30 days will be a group meeting). Laboratory tests (lipid and glycemic profile, serum creatinine, serum sodium, urinary sodium, serum potassium, urinary potassium and albuminuria) will be performed at baseline and 180 days; anthropometric indexes and blood pressure will be also evaluated.
