1.0 Introduction

A number of demographic and genetic factors are associated with diabetes, including age, race, prior history of gestational diabetes, family history of diabetes, and obesity. In terms of age, those over age 45 years are at the highest risk for developing DM I, and approximately II0% of individuals over age 65 years have diabetes. (DeRubeis 2004) Similarly, differential rates of DM II are found among various ethnic groups. Most of the families have showed higher prevalence rates for DM II than do other ethnic groups. (Demmers 2007) Furthermore, women who experience gestational diabetes during one or more of their pregnancies are at greater risk for developing DM I later in life than are women who do not. (Clement 2008) Finally, those who have a family history of DM can be at high level of risk. Indeed, first-degree relatives of individuals with early-onset Diabetes Mellitus I are 40% more likely to develop diabetes than are individuals with no family history of the disease. Thus, there are a number of demographic factors that are associated with a heightened risk for DM II.

1.1 Future science

Many factors have been found to influence dietary adherence. Personal motivation, knowledge of what food to buy, understanding the meal plan, and follow-up meal planning sessions with the dietitian may increase dietary adherence. Medical nutrition therapy by a registered dietitian has been shown to improve diabetes outcomes. (Egede 2005) In a study of patients with chronic disease, including those with diabetes, many patients reported that after seeing a dietitian, they felt better emotionally or physically, and nearly all were able to control their health related condition. (Devins 2006) Greater support from family and friends and a more positive outlook on life are also associated with greater adherence to dietary recommendations.

Other factors such as cravings to eat inappropriate foods, and responsibilities and obligations that interfere with eating right can decrease dietary adherence, as can lack of family support (family's behaviors are less than supportive). (DeRubeis 2004) Perceived high cost of the diet, discontentment of having the foods suggested, and not having the knowledge of what to eat may also cause difficulty in following a prescribed diet or meal plan.
