Diabetes Mellitus and Pre-Diabetes Mellitus are two of the fastest growing diseases in the world (Toft 1). While extensive research has been done regarding dietary regulations in Diabetics, there is a lack of pre-existing research addressing diet regulations in Pre-diabetics. Considering diet plays a crucial role in the recovery process of these patients, the scarcity of information regarding diet regulation in Pre-Diabetics is quite alarming. Thus, this study focuses on examining the implementation of diet in Diabetic versus Pre-diabetic patients in long term Texas Facilities. To assess the adherence to the CDC’s Recommended Dietary Allowances, 12 long term Texas facilities participated in one or more of the following 3 methods: a quantitative questionnaire, qualitative interviews, and both a quantitative and qualitative dietary menu analysis. The results concluded that the extent to which the CDC’S recommended dietary allowances are implemented in the diet of Pre-diabetic patients in Texas facilities is much less efficient than in diabetics due to leniency of dietary regulation, granting of dietary requests, longer monitoring intervals, and lack of priority towards educating the patient on dietary restrictions in Pre-diabetics.
