Therefore, national guidelines recommend that all patients with T2DM should receive individualized, ongoing dietary advice from a health professional with expertise in nutrition. The role standing of diet in controlling of diabetes is considered imperative; still, diabetes patients are unaware of how they should approach this issue to ensure good glycaemiccontrol .in Egypt no sufficient screening about diatery habits .hypothesis:there is difference in diatery habits between patients with and without diabetes
