Background. Subjective food perceptions in various aspects that could impact choices and diet adherence by the Russian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have not been studied.
 Aim to assess T2DM reference group of dairy products their potential influence on nutritional structure.
 Aim: To Materials methods: This cross-sectional study included 300 consecutive out- in-patients (mean age standard deviation, 60,8 10,2 years, duration 1 35 years). The underwent clinical laboratory work-up filled questionnaire six (low fat cottage cheese, low milk, high sour cream, sweet cheese curds) following five aspects: general health, prevention cardiovascular diseases, glycemic control, taste convenience use. These perception were compared self-reported frequencies use each product, demographic characteristics.
 Results: considered be most healthy for milk ranking 2nd (р 0.0001 cheese). Fat cream perceived as unhealthy products). Sweet curds unhealthy/harmful rest All other medical (impact control) moderately or strongly correlated between health (Spearman's r from 0.42 0.72, all р 0.0001). Taste products, except demonstrated moderate correlation terms 0.36 0.47, Male more tasty healthy, than female = 0.029 0.046, respectively). Female found 0.019), males 0.009 0.014, product was associated perceptions: eat/drink significantly often, 0.0001), whereas an intermediate position per its frequency Low ranked first according proportion consumers (91.3 90.7% patients, respectively), second (82% patients), third (75%), abstain (32 32.3% using them, a lesser extent at costs/prices.
 Conclusions: are able clearly differentiate (dairy products) such aspects, system control. In cases, these attitudes perceptions. It is exactly subjective higher structure (real-life use) fact may become favorable background patient education area rational nutrition diet; however, knowledge content real status need significant improvements.
