Development and validation of a diabetes/nutrition knowledge questionnaire in type 1 and type 2 diabetes
We developed and validated a questionnaire encompassing diabetes and nutrition knowledge, tailored to diabetes type and treatment strategy. Psychometric analysis demonstrated robust measurement properties for assessing health literacy across diverse diabetes populations. Better nutrition knowledge was significantly linked to improved glycaemic control in type 1 diabetes, reflected by lower HbA1c and increased TIR.
