520 _aAbstract: Hypertension is an elevated systolic blood pressure ≥140mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90mmHg measured at three different occasions or taking antihypertensive. Diabetic mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia of [RBG>11.1mmol/L or FBG>7mm/L] resulting from defect in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. Hypertension and Diabetes mellitus are NCD causing high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Their attendant morbidity and mortality complications have a great impact on patient’s quality of life and survival. Optimizing blood pressure and blood sugar control have been shown to improve overall health outcomes. In addition to pharmacological therapies, non-pharmacological approach such as dietary modification plays an important role in controlling blood pressure as well as blood glucose level. Many dietary components such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium have been studied substantially in the past decades. Dietary modification is often discussed with patients and can provide a great benefit in blood pressure and blood glucose regulation. In recent years, several methods of assessing food consumption using simple tools the 24-hour diet recall have been proposed. This individual dietary diversity score (IDDS) is a simplified method for assessing the quality of diets, defined as the number of food groups represented in the diet over a period of time as such, reviewing the current evidence will be very useful in guiding patients and their physician and/or dietician in decision making. This study will be conducted to all patients attending at BMC clinic for DM and HTN. The results of this study give the clues about awareness of nutritional factors in hypertension and diabetes mellitus management. The aim to examine the role of nutritional factors individually and as components of whole dietary pattern.
