We used 3-d food-record-keeping techniques to examine nutritional factors in diabetic patients with and without retinopathy. Patients without retinopathy had significantly higher daily intakes of total carbohydrate, water-soluble dietary fibers, insoluble dietary fibers, and glucose than did patients with retinopathy. Also, patients without retinopathy took a significantly lower proportion of their total daily calories as protein.
