ABSTRACT

A comparative study of nutritional status among diabetic males and females was conducted. Multistage stratified random sampling technique was used for selecting 100 samples in both male and females and an interview schedule was developed to collect information regarding socioeconomic profile, dietary pattern etc. Dietary intake between male and female diabetics were highly significant but age, BMI, etc. between males and females were insignificant. Consumption of high fat and carbohydrate diet was revealed as the major contributing cause of disease in both males and females.
