The study's purpose was to find out how nutritional interventions would contribute to management of patients living with type two diabetes in nursing homes.
The data was collected by descriptive literature review, gathered from PUB-MED and CINAHL. The literature was narrowed to ten relevant articles. The articles were combined, grouped into distinct categories making the themes and subtitles of the findings. Articles contain research conducted in Australia, Japan, Czech Republic, America, Saudi Arabia, India, Spain, United Kingdom & Ireland. The chosen articles were written in English and the timeline of the publications between 2014 and 2021.
The finding of the study indicates that modification of diet, healthy food choices, food portion control and meal timing significantly impacted control of blood sugar levels. Further findings showed that metabolic control and weight management were influenced by correct diet. Thus, reducing complications related to type II diabetes. Multi-professional collaboration between family members and patients showed a positive outcome in the management of type II diabetes. Further studies are recommended to find solutions regarding collaborations between nutritionists, food suppliers, caregivers' families of patients with type II diabetes to promote tailored diet for type II diabetic patients.
