Evaluation of Diabetic Diets in Jordanian Hospitals

چکیده
Medical nutrition therapy plays an important role in the management of diabetes. The purpose of this study was to estimate the nutrient contents of diabetic diet in Jordanian hospitals. Seven-day diabetic menus of ten Jordanian hospitals were weighed in two different periods (summer and winter). Results on six nutrients were determined: energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, cholesterol and dietary fiber. The intake of each of the above nutrients on each day was calculated using the WinDiets diet analysis software. Results showed the mean energy content of the meals to be 2155 kcal (9008 kJ). The percentage of carbohydrates, protein and fat in the prescribed diet programs was 42%, 20% and 38%, respectively. Cholesterol and dietary fiber contents were 399 mg and 17 g, respectively. Our results also suggested the need to better sensitize the dietitians to the international standards in order to reduce the burden of diabetes attributed to poor nutritional management. INTRODUCTION
