Diabetes is a major public health problem worldwide [Nutrition education is effective in improving nutritional knowledge [Successful nutritional interventions require behavioral changes that support adherence to nutritional interventions [Various studies in Ethiopia found adherence to dietary recommendations ranged from 25.7% to 53.2%. The findings indicate that many patients adhere to limiting intake and a healthy diet to prevent and treat type II diabetes [Efforts to promote diabetes self-management behaviors are therefore a priority for Ethiopia. One of the common goals of medical nutrition therapy and diabetes self-management education is to improve diabetes-related nutritional knowledge to facilitate nutritional practice. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the effects of nutritional promotion interventions on dietary adherence and glycemic control in her type II diabetic patients in the study area. Furthermore, this study provides relevant information for making evidence-based decisions and designing appropriate community interventions, as well as planning and designing future behavioral promotion strategies and interventions. Additionally, the results of this study will help people with diabetes and their healthcare providers plan appropriate interventions to ensure optimal health.
