Description of intervention(s) / exposure
An observational approach will provide a quantitative understanding of diet quality changes in individuals newly diagnosed with T2DM over a 12-month period. Demographic, physical and psychosocial factors will also be examined to determine those that are predictive of sustained improvements in diet quality. All data will be collected using interviewer-administered telephone survey at five time points across the 12-month period; baseline, and then at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Interviews will last approximately 30 minutes each.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 303743 0
Diet quality change as measured by the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet score. Dietary intake data will be obtained during the interviewer-administered telephone survey using the Australian version of the Automated Self-Administered 24 hour (ASA-24) dietary recall tool. The interviewer will enter in the data on behalf of the participant. Each participant’s DASH score will be calculated at each data collection point using the DASH diet-quality tool. The tool determines a score between 8 and 40 points, with 40 points representing optimal accordance with the DASH dietary pattern.
Timepoint [1] 303743 0
Baseline, and then at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.
Secondary outcome [1] 340031 0
Demographic factors: age, gender, highest education level, living arrangement, self-selected social class, household income, manageability of income and smoking status. This information will be collected using a purposely developed interviewer-administered telephone survey. The questions and response options were composed to align with the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2016 Census and The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) to allow for comparison of outcomes.
Timepoint [1] 340031 0
Baseline only.
Secondary outcome [2] 343920 0
Self-reported physical factors: waist circumference, weight, height and BMI. This information will be collected using a purposely developed interviewer-administered telephone survey. The questions and response options were composed to align with the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2016 Census and The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) to allow for comparison of outcomes. Physical activity levels will also be assessed using the validated International Physical Activity Questionnaire (short form).
Timepoint [2] 343920 0
Height will be collected at baseline only. All other factors will also be collected at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.
Secondary outcome [3] 343921 0
Anxiety and depressive symptoms will be assessed using the validated Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). This is a 10-item questionnaire intended to yield a global measure of distress based on questions about anxiety and depressive symptoms that a person has experienced in the most recent 4 week period.
Timepoint [3] 343921 0
The K10 questionnaire will be administered at baseline, 6 and 12 months only.
Secondary outcome [4] 368188 0
Medication use: Information on all medication use (name of medication and dosage) will be collected, including over-the-counter, and complementary medicines. This outcome will be assessed using a study-specific questionnaire.
Timepoint [4] 368188 0
Baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.
Secondary outcome [5] 368189 0
Glycemic control (composite secondary outcome): HbA1c and fasting blood glucose results over the 12-month study period will be collected. Participants will send copies of their results to the research team.
Timepoint [5] 368189 0
9-months only.
Secondary outcome [6] 368190 0
Pathology results (composite secondary outcome): Other blood results collected will include; high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and C-reactive protein. Participants will send copies of their results to the research team.

Statistical methods / analysis
A Bayesian approach will be employed for all statistical analyses. Changes in Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) score between baseline and 3 months will be calculated for each participant. Participants will be split into 2 groups; those who improved their DASH score by at least 3 DASH points (Group 1) and those who maintained their DASH score within 2.99 points or decreased their DASH score by at least 3 points (Group 2). Descriptive statistics and frequency distribution will be presented for all DASH-scores, which will meet the first aim of the study. A mixed effect model will be used to examine DASH score at 12 months and asses the predictors of change (demographic, physical and psychosocial) according to change group at 3 months. The statistical program “R” will be used to conduct all analyses.

Summary
Brief summary
Healthy eating can assist people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) to achieve and maintain glycaemic control, thereby lowering their risk of developing diabetes-related complications. A dietary pattern rich in whole-grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts; moderate in alcohol; and low in refined grains, red or processed meats, and sugar-sweetened beverages has been shown to improve glycaemic control in people with T2DM. Consequently, a key feature of international T2DM management recommendations is to eat healthy foods that provide a high-quality diet.

People with T2DM have been identified to have low-quality diets, despite recommendations to eat healthy foods. However, it is currently unclear whether people newly diagnosed with T2DM change their diet quality after diagnosis, nor if they maintain positive changes over time. No research has quantitatively explored changes in diet quality after diagnosis, and the factors (demographic, physical and psychosocial) that predict sustained improvements. Therefore, there is no evidence as to whether diet quality remains fixed once an individual is diagnosed with T2DM, or whether there are periods of marked dietary change. There is a clear need to investigate how diet changes over time so targeted strategies can be developed to facilitate improved glycaemic control. Therefore, the aims of the proposed study are to;

(i) Describe diet quality changes in the 12 months following T2DM diagnosis.
(ii) Identify the demographic, physical and psychosocial predictors of sustained improvements in diet quality defined as an increase in Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) score of 3 points.
