title: Research on compliance with diabetic regimens: applications to practice.
abstract: Compliance with dietary regimens has long been documented as poor. This is of particular interest in diabetic regimens because of the life-long commitment to dietary change necessary to control the disease. The factors and models affecting compliant and non-compliant behavior are discussed. Suggestions are made for the dietitian or health educator on how to improve compliance with diabetic or other dietary regimens.
