AB  - BACKGROUND: In Sudan, the prevalence of diabetes in adults was estimated at 19.1% 
      in 2015. This study assessed dietary knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of 
      type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in Sudan. METHODS: We randomly selected 
      238 T2DM patients from a list of 2460 patients from the Jabber Abulizz Hospital. 
      We interviewed them face-to-face using a structured questionnaire. Multivariate 
      logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the determinants of 
      KAP regarding the recommended diets for T2DM patients. RESULTS: Majority of the 
      patients demonstrated good knowledge (54.6%), positive attitude (79%); and good 
      practice (58%). The result revealed that patients with formal education had 3.0 
      (95% CI: 1.6-5.7) times higher odds of having good diabetic dietary knowledge 
      than those with informal education. While patients who had good knowledge and a 
      positive attitude were respectively 4.7 (95% CI: 2.4-8.9) and 3.2 (95% CI: 
      1.5-6.7) times more likely to follow dietary recommendations than the patients 
      with poor knowledge and negative attitudes. CONCLUSION: Irrespective of the 
      socio-demographic position, the good knowledge and the positive attitude towards 
      the recommended diet, all the T2DM patients complied with the dietary 
      recommendations. These findings highlight the need for improving knowledge and 
      promoting positive attitudes towards the recommended diet among T2DM patients.
