AB  - We elucidated diet and its association with glycemic status among adults 
      clinically diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) through 
      across-sectional study in Malawi. Glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C) and dietary 
      intakes were assessed. Consumption of cereals, roots, and tubers and sweet, 
      sugary food, including sweetened beverages, was significantly higher among 
      participants with A1C>/=8%. Fruit and vegetable intake were disproportionately low 
      overall. Consuming adiet high in carbohydrates (OR: 1.167; CI = 1.107-1.231; p 
      < .001) and having <3 meals/day (OR: 2.680; CI = 1.445-4.970; p = .002) were both 
      associated with A1C>/=8%. Therefore, dietary interventions for T2DM focusing on 
      carbohydrate counting, total dietary quality, and meal planning are needed in 
      Malawi.
