本研究调查了使用日本部分控制板（健康板）的生活方式干预计划在减轻超重和肥胖糖尿病患者体重和实现良好血糖控制方面的有效性和安全性。对干预组和对照组进行糖尿病及饮食疗法的讲座，仅对干预组进行健康餐盘的使用指导。干预组中的受试者在3个月时体重相对于基线有重大变化（误差线SD）（-3.6误差线2.6 kg vs. 0.3误差线1.6 kg; p=0.04）。在HbA 1c水平方面，两组间差异无统计学意义，但干预组抗糖尿病药物使用次数减少。干预组的大多数受试者报告说，该计划是有帮助的，高度可接受的。未报告不良反应。结果表明，使用健康板是安全和有效的减肥糖尿病患者。

This study investigated the efficacy and safety of a lifestyle intervention program using a Japanese portion control plate, Healthy plate, in reducing body weight and achieving good glycemic controls of overweight and obese diabetic patients. The intervention group and the control group were given lectures on diabetes and diet therapy, and only the intervention group was instructed on how to use Healthy plate. Subjects in the intervention group had a major change (Error bars SD) in body weight from baseline at 3 month (-3.6 Error bars 2.6 kg vs.-0.3 Error bars 1.6 kg; p=0.04). In HbA1c levels, no significant difference was found between the two groups, but the number of anti-diabetic drugs in the intervention group was reduced. The majority of subjects in the intervention group reported that the program was helpful and highly recommendable. No adverse effects were reported. The findings suggest the use of Healthy plate is safe and effective in weight reduction of diabetic patients.
