Background: Diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose. The study aim is to evaluate the relationship between biochemical parameters with dietary habits and physical activities of participants.

Methods: Data collection took participants’ age, sex, anthropometric measurement, lifestyle factors, dietary habits, and prevalence of diabetes-related complications.

Results: The study showed significant differences in triglyceride and HDL across low-fat milk, yogurt intakes, fruits, and green leafy vegetables and HbA1c, Creatinine, FBG, and PP blood glucose levels across cereal consumption.

Conclusions: It showed significant differences between frequency of food intake and nutritional status, physical activity, and biochemical parameters.

Keywords: Dietary Practices; Type 2 Diabetes; Postprandial Blood Glucose; Fasting Blood Glucose; Nepal
