Abstract: The main objective of this investigates is to influence of diet counselling on patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Despite a number of approaches to T2DM management being already available, healthcare professionals in India still struggle to achieve health targets without the adjunct therapy of diet coaching or counselling. Type 2 diabetes is a global burden affecting over 400 million people across the world. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is growing, driven by a sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits. In community settings, less than 1 in 1,000 people achieves type 2 diabetes remission. In the india, adults eat 300% the recommended intake of added sugar in the diet. People diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are treated with diet and exercise before progressing to medications including metformin and insulin. Nutrition therapy and counselling are an integral part of the treatment and self-management of diabetes. The goals of nutrition therapy are to maintain or improve quality of life and nutritional and physiological health and to prevent and treat acute- and long-term complications of diabetes, associated comorbid conditions and concomitant disorders.
