RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Title: FRUITY-VEGS ALTERNATIVE DIET FOR BLOOD GLUCOSECONTROL
CHAPTER I
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY/INTRODUCTION
Diabetes is a serious health concern considering it is a pandemic and one of the
top leading causes of mortality in the Philippines based on the 2009 Philippine Health
Statistics. According to International Diabetes Federation (2011) diabetes is fast rising
affecting 300 million people all over the world with about 344 million people at risk ofdeveloping type 2 diabetes. If nothing is done to reverse the epidemic, the International
Diabetes Federation predicts that by 2030, 438 million people will live with diabetes and
almost the same numbers are still unaware that they have Diabetes.
In the Philippines, one out of five Filipinos had diabetes according to Bohol
Standard National Survey 2009. Diabetes mellitus is the 8 th leading cause of mortality in
the country, considering 18% number of annual deaths based on the 2009 Philippine
Health Statistics. According to the World Health Organization study of 2011, the
Philippine is projected to have an estimated number of 7.8 million cases by 2030 and
eventually may rank 9 th in the list of countries with the highest estimated cases
worldwide.
According to American Diabetes Association, diabetes Mellitus is marked by
elevated levels of blood sugar which affects millions of lives and causes a severe health
problem such as damage to the eyes, kidney, heart, peripheral nerves, ulcers on the feet
and amputations.

However, there are measures on how to prevent diabetes since it is preventable
disease according to American Diabetes Association. It is also mention that the main goal
of diabetes treatment is to normalize insulin activity and blood glucose levels towards
reducing the development of vascular and neuropathic complications. According to the
Diabetes Control Complication Trial there are five components on how to manage
diabetes; exercise, blood glucose level monitoring, pharmacologic therapy, education and
nutritional therapy.
The American Dietetic Association states that nutritional therapy is one of the
most challenging aspects in managing diabetes, considering that one must have a meal plan that keeps the blood glucose at normal level. Healing wonders of diet an effective
guide to diet therapy mention that there are diverse foods in the market that are preferred
for a diabetic individual which are simple to prepare, these foods are also very accessible
in the market. Whole grains, legumes and low fat dairy products, leafy vegetables and
fruits are recommended for diabetic patients.
Fruits and vegetables contribute greatly in the management or even helps prevent
diabetes based on the Healing Wonders of Diet Effective Guide to Diet Therapy.
Considering fruits and vegetables are very high source of fiber that improves blood sugar
control. The U.S National Academy of Sciences, The U.S Department of Agriculture and
The Institute of Medicine all advice to consume 14 grams of fiber per 1000kcal. A study
in the 2000 New England Journal of Medicine revealed that fiber slows the digestion of
foods; it can help blunt the sudden spikes in blood glucose that may occur after a low-
fiber meal. Such blood sugar peaks stimulate the pancreas to pump out more insulin.
National Institute of Health believe that a lifetime of blood glucose spikes could

contribute to type 2 diabetes which typically strikes after the age of 40, and more than
doubles the risk of stroke and heart disease.
According to the Diabetes control and complications trial, 64% of people having
diabetes are disregarding their meal plans advised by their doctors or dieticians they are
following their meal plan only on the first to second week and after a while they no
longer follow the diet regimen recommended.
It is the researcher s interest and intention to introduce an alternative nutritional
intervention for diabetic clients. It is an alternative, simple and less costly prepared meal
from the most accessible and available fruits and vegetables at the local market. With thatthe study will bring about awareness among food caterers in preparing the nutritional
meals that are good for diabetic clients and non-diabetic as well.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The study aims to answer the following questions:
Is there a difference in the blood glucose level before and after the Fru ity-Vegs
Alternative Diet intervention among diabetic clients?
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY
This research study will be conducted among known diabetic clients. Limited
only to those who will voluntarily submit to be study participants. Ten female clients will
be taken as study subjects and study duration is 10 days.

The study focuses on the FRUITY-VEGS ALTERNATIVE DIET intervention that will
be served to study participants during lunch for 5 days. The lunch meal will be in the
form of shake prepared by the researchers themselves.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The result of the study Fruity -Veg: An alternative Diet for Blood Glucose
Control" will be sinificant to the following:
To The Student Nurses This study will enrich and enable the student nurses at
an early beginning of their clinical practice to explore their future nurses role as a healtheducator and collaborator by giving information and health teaching, and create
awareness about the Fruitie-Vegs Diet intervention for blood glucose control to diabetic
individuals in collaboration with the College of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Clinical Instructors of the College of Nutrition and Dietetics and College of
Nursing The findings of the study may provide references to future related researches on
nutritional interventions.
Participants of the Study: This study is intended for the benefit of diagnosed
diabetic clients as well as the general population afflicted with the disease that they may
become empowered and motivated to continue the "Fruity-Veg Diet" as one of their daily
regimen to control their blood glucose level.
Medical Practitioners: The Fruitie -Vegs Diet will be a great help to the health
care team because it is an natural and modifiable aid in lowering the blood glucose level
of the diabetic individuals but as well as the general population.

CHAPTER II
Review of Related Literature
Understanding Diabetes
According to the New Medical Dictionary Manual (2004) diabetes Mellitus is a
type of condition wherein the blood glucose level in our body is not in the average rate. It
occurs when your body cells dont respond appropriately to insulin, and when your
pancreas cant produce enough ins ulin in response.
Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Based on the New Medical Dictionary Manual (2004) the pancreas particularly
the islets of Langerhans secretes insulin and glucagon directly into the bloodstream, that
helps to regulate the blood glucose level within its healthy range so after eating, our
blood sugar rises hence our pancreas detected its rise thus secreting insulin to return the
blood sugar level within its usual range. But if our blood sugar goes down, glucagon is
then secreted to signal the liver to breakdown glycogen into glucose. In the case of
diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance happens. The body cells doesnt function properly in
the presence o insulin. The underlying pathophysiologic defect in type diabetes does not
involved auto immune beta-cell destruction. Rather, type 2 diabetes is characterized by
the following three disorders; Peripheral resistance to insulin, especially in muscle cells
Increased. Altered pancreatic insulin secretion. Increased tissue resistance to insulin
generally occurs first and is eventually followed by impaired insulin secretion.
-

9/23
The pancreas produces insulin, yet insulin resistance prevents its proper use at the
cellular level. Glucose cannot enter target cells and accumulates in the bloodstream,
resulting in hyperglycemia. The high blood glucose levels often stimulate an increase in
insulin production by the pancreas; thus, type 2 diabetic individuals often have excessive
insulin production (hyperinsulinemia). Over the years, pancreatic insulin production
usually decreases to below normal levels. In addition to hyperglycemia, type 2 diabetic
patients often have a group of disorders that has been called "insulin resistance
syndrome" or syndrome X.
Complications
Complications of Diabetes Mellitus based on the American Diabetes Association are as
follows.
1. Heart and Blood Vessel Disease. Cardiovascular problems like angina pectoris,
heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure and atherosclerosis which can result to
myocardial infarction.
2. Mental Function, Depression and Dementia. Some studies say that diabetic
patients have a much higher risk of developing dementia due to either having
Alzheimers disease or damaged blood vessels in the brain. With depression,
patients tend to be hyperglycaemic, one factor can trigger is due to their illness
condition. Regardless of what age you are, this complication can be triggered if
left untreated.
3. Nerve Damage (neuropathy). There are 2 types of neuropathy:
-
8/13/2019 NRES Part1 Edited
10/23
a). Peripheral Neuropathy (which affects the sensation in the toes, feet, legs,
hands, and arms). This has the stocking-glove contribution. A tingling
sensation, weakness, burning sensation, loss of sense in warm and cold
water, numbness (if nerves are severely damaged), and deep pain are some
symptoms present.
b). Autonomic Neuropathy (which affects the nerves that helps in regulating
the digestive system, bowel and bladder control, heart, and sexual
function)= Constipation, Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting are digestive
problems contributed by diabetes. Incontinence in the bowel and bladderoccurs. Rapid heart rates, Orthostatic Hypotension when standing up also
occurs.
4. Kidney Damage (Nephropathy). Diabetes damages the glomeruli (tiny filters in
the kidney) causing the protein to leak into the urine. End-Stage Renal Disease
(ESRD) occurs with patients with diabetes.
5. Eye Complication and Retinopathy. Diabetes can cause damage in the blood
vessels of the retina (diabetic retinopathy) leads to blindness. This is a
common disorder to diabetic patients, cataracts and glaucoma may also be
present.
6. Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). This complication is life threatening brought
about by insulin deficiency. Causes of DKA are not clear.
7. Osteoporosis.
8. Sexual dysfunction. Men with diabetes, smokers in particular, can damage the
blood vessels and nerves which lead to erectile dysfunction. Meanwhile
-
8/13/2019 NRES Part1 Edited
11/23
women with diabetes will have a reduced pleasure from sex, reduced orgasm
ability, vaginal dryness, painful sex, and loss of sex drive.
9. Hypoglycemia. As we all know, diabetes requires a strict blood glucose
control. Hypoglycemia is also known as insulin shock, this occurs if blood
glucose depreciates beyond its normal level. Occasionally, this complication is
manageable.
10. Hearing loss.
11. Skin and foot complications. Infection can be present.
Statistic of Diabetes Mellitus
Globally diabetes is past rising. Diabetes is a leading threat to global health and
development. According to International Diabetes Federation 2011, diabetes now affects
over 300 million people all over the world. A further 344 million people are at risk of
developing type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the disease. If nothing is done to
reverse the epidemic, International Diabetes Federation predicts that by 2030, 438 million
people will live with diabetes.
The National total cases of diabetes are 25.8 million children and adults in the
United States which 8.3% of the population has diabetes. Diagnosed with diabetes about
18.8 million people and Undiagnosed people of 7.0 million. Prediabetes 79 million
people.
1.9 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed in people aged 20 years and older
in 2010.

1. Under 20 years of age - 215,000, or 0.26% of all people in this age group have
diabetes and about 1 in every 400 children and adolescents has diabetes
2. Age 20 years or older- 25.6 million, or 11.3% of all people in this age group
have diabetes.
3. Age 65 years or older- 10.9 million, or 26.9% of all people in this age group
have diabetes
4. Men-13.0 million, or 11.8% of all men aged 20 years or older have diabetes
5. Women - 12.6 million, or 10.8% of all women aged 20 years or older have
diabetes
Morbidity and Mortality
In 2007 National Health Statistics, diabetes was listed as the underlying cause on
71,382 death certificates and was listed as a contributing factor on an additional 160,022
death certificates. This means that diabetes contributed to a total of 231,404 deaths.
Philippines is one of the incre asing cases of diabetes which is the so called High
sugars. Its incidences are rising in the Philippines. One out of five Filipinos in the
Philippines had diabetes according to Bohol standard. National survey of the government
in 2009 and it is found that 3.9 percent of Filipinos were diabetic compared to the latest
survey that 20.6 percent of adults aged 30 and above has found to have diabetes in the
year 2007. Diabetes mellitus is the ninth leading cause of mortality in the country based
on the 2003 Philippine Health Statistics. Diabetes mortality rate has increased by 92%
over a ten year period from 1986 to 1995 and it is estimated that there are currently 3
million Filipinos who are diabetic. Based on the WHO study (2011), the Philippines is
-
8/13/2019 NRES Part1 Edited
13/23
projected to have an estimated number of 7.8 million cases by 2030 and eventually may
rank ninth in the list of countries with the highest estimated cases worldwide
MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENT
According to American Diabetes Association the major goal in treating diabetes is
to minimize any elevation of blood sugar (glucose) without causing abnormally low
levels of blood sugar. Type 1 diabetes is treated with insulin,exercise, and a diabetic diet.
Type 2 diabetes is treated first with weight reduction, a diabetic diet, and exercise. When
these measures fail to control the elevated blood sugars, oral medications are used. If oralmedications are still insufficient, treatment with insulin is considered.
Adherence to a diabetic diet is an important aspect of controlling elevated blood
sugar in patients with diabetes. The American Diabetes Association has provided
guidelines for a diabetic diet. The American Diabetes Association diet is a balanced,
nutritious diet that is low in fat, cholesterol, and simple sugars. The total daily calories
are evenly divided into three meals. In the past two years, the American Diabetes
Association has lifted the absolute ban on simple sugars. Small amounts of simple sugars
are allowed when consumed with a complex meal.
The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences (2000) suggest
that weight reduction and exercise are important treatments for diabetes. Weight
reduction and exercise increase the body's sensitivity to insulin, thus helping to control
blood sugar elevations.

DIETARY MANAGEMENT
Medical Nutrition Therapy
The American Diabetes Association introduced Medical Nutrition Therapy in 1999 to
better articulate the national therapy process. It is defined as the use of specific nutrion
services to treat an illness, injury or condition and involves two phases; Assessment of
Nutrional Status of the client and treatment, which includes Nutrition Therapy,
Counseling and the use of specialized nutrition supplements. MNT for Dm incorporates
a process that when implemented correctly, includes an assessment of the patientnutrition and diabetes self management, knowledge and skills, identification and
negotiation of individually designed nutrition goals, nutrition intervention including a
careful match of both meal- planning approach and educational materials to the patients
need, with flexibility in mind to have the plan be implemented by the patient and
evaluation of outcomes and ongoing monitoring. These 4 steps are necessary to assist
patients in acquiring and maintain the knowledge, skills, attitude, behaviour and
commitment to successfully meet the challenges of daily diabetes self management.
The American Diabetes Association Guidelines on MNT are as follows.
For Carbohydrates
The American Diabetes Association agrees that a dietary pattern that includes
carbohydrate from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and low-fat milk should be
encouraged. There is also overall agreement that for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes
Mellitus,insulin therapy should be integrated into the dietary and physical activity
-
8/13/2019 NRES Part1 Edited
15/23
pattern, and that the key to successful Medical Nutrition Therapy is synchronizing
carbohydrate intake with insulin therapy. The guideline developers further agree that
carbohydrate intake should be kept consistent on a day-to-day basis with respect to time
and amount, and that for individuals who are on insulin pump therapy, insulin doses
should be adjusted based on the carbohydrate content of meals and snacks.
Protein
The guideline groups agree that protein intake in individuals with diabetes mellitus and
normal renal function should be the same as for patients who do not have diabetesmellitus, 15% to 20% of daily energy intake. American Diabetes Association adds that
protein should not be used to prevent or treat acute nighttime hypoglycemia in
individuals with Type diabetes Mellitus, and that high-protein diets are not recommended
as a method for weight loss at this time.
Fiber
American Diabetes Association notes that, as for the general population, people with
diabetes are encouraged to consume a variety of fiber-containing foods. They add,
however, that evidence is lacking to recommend a higher fiber intake for people with
diabetes than for the population as a whole. American Diabetes Association notes that
recommendations for fiber intake for people with diabetes are similar to the
recommendations for the general public (14 g/1000 kcal), and that while diets containing
44 to 50 grams of fiber daily are reported to improve glycemia, more usual fiber intakes
(up to 24 grams daily) have not demonstrated beneficial effects on glycemia.. American

Diabetes Association also notes that including foods containing 25 to 30 grams of fiber
per day, with special emphasis on soluble fiber sources (7 to 13 grams), can help to lower
cholesterol. They add that diets high in total and soluble fiber, as part of cardioprotective
nutrition therapy, can further reduce total cholesterol by 2% to 3% and LDL cholesterol
up to 7%.
Sucrose
The groups agree that sucrose does not need to be avoided by patients with diabetes
mellitus, but when consumed, should replace other carbohydrates. American Diabetes
Association notes that, in addition to being substituted for other carbohydrates, sucrose
may also be added to the meal plan, but if so, should be covered with insulin or other
glucose-lowering medications. . American Diabetes Association notes that sucrose
intakes of 10 to 35 percent of total energy intake do not have a negative effect on
glycemic or lipid responses when substituted for isocaloric amounts of starch.
Alcohol Consumption
According to American Diabetes Association, for adults with diabetes who choose to
consume alcohol, consumption should be limited to 1 drink per day for women and 2
drinks per day for men.. American Diabetes Association also notes that to reduce risk of
nocturnal hypoglycemia in individuals using insulin or insulin secretagogues, alcohol
should be consumed with food. The developer adds that moderate alcohol consumption
(when ingested alone) has no acute effect on glucose and insulin concentrations, but
carbohydrate co-ingested with alcohol (as in a mixed drink) may raise blood glucose.
-
8/13/2019 NRES Part1 Edited
17/23
Dietary Fat and Cholesterol
The guidelines agree that intake of trans fats should be minimized . American Diabetes
Association notes that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have beneficial effects on the lipid
profile, and two or more servings of fish per week (with the exception of commercially
fried fish filets) provide n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and are recommended. .
American Diabetes Association cites reduction in saturated and trans fats, as well as
reduction of dietary cholesterol and interventions to improve blood pressure, as effective
cardioprotective nutrition interventions
.BENEFITS OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR DIABETIC PATIENT
According to the Food and Nutrition Institute, food composition table of 2004,
Fruits and vegetables are the very rich source of fiber. Although people may pay less
attention to fiber, its health benefits have not vanished. Fiber remains an essential nutrient
and a vital part of healthy eating for everyone, including those with diabetes. In fact,
soluble forms of plant fiber may help to mute blood sugar swings.
The New England Journal of Medicine 2011 showed that soluble fiber in oat bran,
legumes (dried beans of all kinds, peas and lentils), and pectin (from fruit, such as apples)
and forms in root vegetables (such as carrots) is considered especially helpful for people
with either form of diabetes. Soluble fiber may help control blood sugar by delaying
gastric (stomach) emptying, retarding the entry of glucose into the bloodstream and
lessening the postprandial (post-meal) rise in blood sugar. It may lessen insulin
requirements in those with type 1 diabetes. Because fiber slows the digestion of foods, it
can help blunt the sudden spikes in blood glucose that may occur after a low-fibre meal.

Such blood sugar peaks stimulate the pancreas to pump out more insulin. National
Institute of health believe that a lifetime of blood glucose spikes could contribute to type
2 diabetes which typically strikes after the age of 40 and more than doubles the risk of
stroke and heart disease. .
Previous Researches of Diabetes in Nutrient Management
The evidence for the effectiveness of medical nutrition therapy in Diabetes
Mellitus to determine the clinical and cost- effectiveness Medical Nutrion Therapy as a
potential preventive benefit in the medi care program, the 105th
US congress, in the balanced budget act of 1997 requested that a study be conducted by the Institute of he
Medicine of The National Academy of Sciences.
In December 1999, Institute of Medicine release their report in reference to
diabetes the report concluded that evidences exist demonstrating that Medical Nutrition
Therapy can improve clinical outcome while possibly reducing the cost of managing
diabetes to medicare.
Institute of Medicine recommend to congress that individual Medical Nutrition
Therapy be a covered medicare benefits as part of multidisciplinary approach to diabetes
care which include nutrition, exercise, blood glucose monitoring, medication.
The evidenced from randomized controlled trials that involved 39,444 newly
diagnosed patient with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at 15 centers. All received nutrition
counseling upon study entry until 3 months at which they were randomized into intensive
therapy resulted to an improvement of metabolic outcome such as fasting plasma glucose

METHODS OF THE RESEARCH
This chapter discusses the procedures to be done by the researchers to gather the
needed data. This includes the Research Design, Research locale, Participants, Sampling
Design and Data Gathering Procedure.
RESEARCH DESIGN
The study entitled Frutie -Vegs Diet for Blood Glucose Control among diabetic client
at WMSU is an experimental research that aims to determine the decrease in bloodglucose level of the Fruitie-Vegs intervention on the willing participants.
This is a quasi-experimental design employing the time-series method. This method
and design will select a group of diabetic client to participate in the experiment using
purposive-convenience sampling. This group of ten (10) diabetic clients will be
subjected to a glucose test for 5 consecutive days, one hour after lunch before the
intervention of the Frutie-Vegs diet. During the intervention for five consecutive days,
glucose test one-hour after lunch will also be taken. That would mean series of blood
glucose test will be done 5 days before and 5 days during the intervention.

PARTICIPANTS/RESPONDENTS
The respondents of the study will be randomly chosen from the list of diabetic
clients taken from Barangay Tetuan. Only female client that were diagnosed with
diabetes will be chosen as participants.
Full consent of the client will be taken using a researchers constructed consent
for participation.
SAMPLING
Purposive and convenience is the method will be used in this study. Theresearchers will be using this method because the participants in this research study will
involve the female clients at Barangay Tetuan who is diagnosed with diabetes and that
researchers chose those who voluntarily and willingly consented to participate in the
experiment.
DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE
To gather the data needed for the research, the researcher will be using the
following instrument:
There will be a health teaching about the significance and implications of diet.
Procedure
Those diabetics who willingly signed for participation will be taken assubjects of the study.
Five days prior to the intervention of the FRUITY-VEG Diet post-prandial blood glucose test will be taken for five consecutive days among the study participants. Post-prandial would mean two hours after lunch, blood glucosetest will be done. Five days prior to the intervention the study participants
-
8/13/2019 NRES Part1 Edited
22/23
will take his/her regular or usual breakfast, midday snack, lunch, afternoonsnacks, and dinner.
The five-day FRUITY-VEG alternative diet intervention will follow. Thatwould mean, on the next 5 days, the study participants will be served the
FRUITY-VEG alternative lunch. Two hours after the FRUITY-VEG lunch, blood glucose test will be taken. During the five days intervention, the study participants, will take their regular or usual breakfast, snacks, FRUITY-VEGalternative lunch, usual afternoon snack and dinner. Only the lunch is beingcontrolled which will be prepared and serve by the researcher.
The pre-intervention and post intervention blood glucose test results will becompared and determine the significant difference.
For those study participants who are under medical regimen, their medication will
continue as prescribed.
,INSTRUMENT OF THE STUDY
All data will be gathered and tabularized to organize the Pre-Intervention Blood
Glucose and Post Intervention Blood Glucose of the ten female participants of Barangay
Tetuan.
The statistics we will be using are the mean (X), standard deviation (SD), and the
T-test of difference. The t-test of difference is a statistics method use to compare one set
of measurements with a second set from the same sample. It is often used to compare
before and after scores in experiments to determine whether significan t change has
occurred. The T-test formula is:
