Evaluating the link Between Meal Frequency and the Onset of Type-2 Diabetes: An Impending Study

Abstract

The composition of meals, portion sizes, and overall dietary patterns can influence the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The most important prescription for diabetes is diet. In the present study it was observed that those subjects who were taking full meals more than 3 times a day (24.2%) are more prone to this disease. Borderline cases were more in subjects taking 4 times meals daily (37.5%). Newly detected and total diabetic subjects were also more in subjects (37.5%) having frequency of full meal 4 times a day. But known diabetic cases were more in subjects (60.4%) taking 2 times meal daily. Hypoglycemic subjects were also more in subjects having 2 times meal daily
