ResumoProspective 7‐day estimated weight food records were computer analysed in 92 diabetic patients, 45 men and 47 women, 25 with Type 1 and 67 Type 2 diabetes, attending a hospital‐based diabetic clinic. The nutrient intakes were compared with a national survey in non‐diabetic British adults (OPCS) and the current EASD recommendations for the diabetic diet. Only three diabetic patients achieved the recommended 50–60% energy intake as carbohydrate, four achieved < 30% energy as fat, one patient < 10% saturated fat and 20 ate > 30 g fibre per day. The overall nutrient intakes of these diabetic patients reflected those of non‐diabetic subjects except for a greater intake of protein and smaller intakes of sugar and alcohol. These findings reinforce the problems currently faced in achieving the present recommendations for the diabetic diet.
