Sánchez Aguadero, Natalia . Gómez Marcos, Manuel A. Recio Rodríguez, José I. Mediterranean diet; type 2 diabetes health education information and communication technologies The Mediterranean diet (MD) is recognized as one of the healthiest dietary patterns and has benefits such as improving glycaemic control among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Our aim is to assess the effectiveness of a multifactorial intervention to improve adherence to theMD, diet quality and biomedical parameters. The EMID study is a randomized and controlled clinical trial with two parallel groups and a 12-month follow-up period. The study included 204 subjects between 25–70 years with T2DM. The participants were randomized into intervention group (IG) and control group (CG). Both groups received brief advice about healthy eating and physical activity. The IG participants additionally took part in a food workshop, five walks and received a smartphone application for three months. The population studied had a mean age of 60.6 years. At the 3-month follow-up visit, there were improvements in adherence to the MD and diet quality of 2.2 and 2.5 points, compared to the baseline visit, respectively, in favour of the IG. This tendency of the improvement was maintained, in favour of the IG, at the 12-month follow-up visit. In conclusion, the multifactorial intervention performed could improve adherence to the MD and diet quality among patients with T2DM. 2019-01-21T08:37:54Z 2019-01-21T08:37:54Z 2019-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article 2072-6643 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/5052 10.3390/nu11010162 eng Nutrients. 2019, V. 11, n. 1, 162 https://doi.org/10.3390/nu11010162 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/JCyL/GRS-1276-B-16 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/UE/ERDF/RD 16-0007-0003 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Attribution 4.0 International MDPI
