Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the DK and EH of the population with T2D and determine their associated factors. A cross-sectional survey enrolling 351 patients with T2D was carried out, using the snowball sampling technique. The survey used the UK Diabetes and Diet Questionnaire and the Dietary Knowledge questionnaire to assess participants\u2019 EH including the frequency of consumption of certain foods and their knowledge of food groups and food choices. While a higher DK index indicated better knowledge, a higher EH index indicated less healthy EH. Independent sample T-test and Mann\u2013Whitney test were used for dichotomous variables, and ANOVA and Kruskal\u2013Wallis tests were used for polytomous variables. Correlation analysis tested the association between two continuous variables. Two multiple linear regression models were used to identify factors associated with DK and EH. Overall, 67% of participants had good or adequate DK, and around 25% and 75% of them had healthy and less healthy EH, respectively. Better knowledge was significantly related to occupation, BMI, presence of comorbidities, and HbA1c testing during the last 3\u2009months. Higher family income, physical activity, family history of diabetes, receiving help in medication administration from family or friends, and higher DK level were factors associated with healthier EH. Nutrition education and awareness campaigns aimed at patients and their families are needed to empower patients with adequate DK and skills to facilitate the adoption of healthy EH.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2024\/3623555","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,6]],"date-time":"2024-02-06T19:05:35Z","timestamp":1707246335000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Dietary Knowledge and Eating Habits among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes in Lebanon"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2024","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8025-7823","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Myriam","family":"Abboud","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health, College of Natural and Health Sciences, Zayed University, Dubai 144534, UAE"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8109-2562","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Cyrille","family":"Nacouzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutrition Department, Faculty of Public Health II, Lebanese University, Fanar, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zeina","family":"Chahine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutrition Department, Faculty of Public Health II, Lebanese University, Fanar, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angelica","family":"Atallah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutrition Department, Faculty of Public Health II, Lebanese University, Fanar, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4051-9064","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mira","family":"Hleyhel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutrition Department, Faculty of Public Health II, Lebanese University, Fanar, Lebanon"},{"name":"INSPECT-LB: Institut National de Sant\u00e9 Publique, Epid\u00e9miologie Clinique et Toxicologie, Beirut, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","volume-title":"IDF Diabetes Atlas","author":"International Diabetes Federation","year":"2021","edition":"10th"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diabres.2020.108086","article-title":"Mortality attributable to diabetes in 20\u201379 years old adults 2019 estimates: results from the international diabetes federation diabetes atlas","volume":"162","author":"P.
