AB  - BACKGROUND: Identification of dietary patterns is important for glycemic 
      management in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: 
      Elderly T2DM patients (> 65 years of age, n = 48) were categorized based on their 
      concentration of glycated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)). Subjects with HbA(1c) levels 
      below 7% were placed in the good control (GC) group and those with HbA(1c) levels 
      equal to or above 8% were placed in the poor control (PC) group. Anthropometric 
      data, blood parameters, and dietary intake records were compared between the 
      groups. Statistical analysis included Student's t-test, chi-square test, and 
      Pearson correlation coefficient test. RESULTS: Anthropometric data, including 
      body mass index (24.7 +/- 2.9 kg/m(2)), did not differ between the GC and PC 
      groups. Significant abnormalities in blood glucose levels (P < 0.01), lean body 
      mass (P < 0.01), and plasma protein and albumin levels (P < 0.05, P < 0.01) were 
      found in the PC group. In contrast to the GC group, the PC group depended on 
      carbohydrate (P = 0.014) rather than protein (P = 0.013) or fat (P = 0.005) as a 
      major source of energy, and had a lower index of nutritional quality for 
      nutrients such as protein (P = 0.001), and all vitamins and minerals (P < 0.001, 
      0.01, or 0.05 for individual nutrients), except vitamin C, in their usual diet. 
      Negative correlations between HbA(1c) levels and protein (r = -0.338, P < 0.05) 
      or fat (r = -0.385, P < 0.01) intakes were also found. CONCLUSIONS: Healthcare 
      professionals should encourage elderly diabetic patients to consume a balanced 
      diet to maintain good glycemic control.
