      Mediterranean diet in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: an observational 
      study.

AB  - PURPOSE: The main study goal is to assess the relationship between adherence to 
      the mediterranean diet (MD) and the presence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy 
      (DPN) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: Observational 
      pilot study of 174 patients diagnosed with T2DM. Sociodemographic and 
      anthropometric variables, physical activity, smoking habits, blood biochemical 
      parameters and comorbidities were recorded. The presence of alterations in 
      sensitivity to pressure, pain, thermal and vibration was explored. Good MD 
      adherence was a score  >/=  9 the 14-point MD adherence questionnaire (MEDAS-14). 
      RESULTS: The study population consisted of 174 patients (61.5% men and 38.5% 
      women), with a mean age of 69.56 +/- 8.86 years; 19% of these patients adhered to 
      the MD. The score obtained in the MEDAS-14 was higher in patients who did not 
      present alterations in sensitivity to pressure (p = 0.047) or vibration 
      (p = 0.021). The patients without diabetic peripheral neuropathy were more likely 
      to comply with the MD and had a higher score on the MEDAS-14 (p = 0.047). 
      However, multivariate analysis showed that only altered sensitivity to pressure 
      was associated with adherence to the MD (altered sensitivity OR = 2.9; 95%CI 
      1.02-8.22; p = 0.045). CONCLUSIONS: Although the patients with DPN had lower 
      scores on the MEDAS questionnaire and therefore poorer adherence to the 
      mediterranean diet, the only parameter significantly associated with the MD was 
      that of sensitivity to pressure (monofilament test).
