Abstract: Introduction: Introduction: diet and nutrition interventions may prove more effective than drug interventions in reducing hyperglycaemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). However, as individual responses to nutritional strategies can vary, it is crucial to develop tailored nutritional interventions to effectively manage hyperglycaemia. Objective: to assess the effectiveness of individualised nutritional intervention and care in patients diagnosed with type 2 DM and concurrent heart attack. Methods: this randomised controlled trial involved participants diagnosed with both type 2 DM and a recent heart attack. The intervention group received customised nutritional counselling and dietary plans adapted to their medical conditions, whereas the control group adhered to regular dietary recommendations. Baseline measures, including blood glucose levels, lipid profiles, and cardiac markers, were recorded and analysed between the groups. Results: substantial improvements were observed in the health parameters of the intervention group. Notably, there were reductions in postprandial blood glucose levels, enhancements in lipid profiles, and more favourable cardiac marker profiles compared with those in the control group. The results also underscored the practicality and effectiveness of personalised nutritional interventions in clinical settings. Conclusions: individualised nutritional intervention and care positively impacted the health outcomes of patients with type 2 DM and a recent heart attack, highlighting the value of personalised care approaches.
