Dietary guidance for older patients with diabetes mellitus and their primary caregivers using a Model Nutritional Balance Chart Software

我们已经取得了专利的模型营养平衡图软件，并制作了一个计算机系统，用于控制营养（专利号：4987042）。使用该系统，我们观察到，肥胖儿童缺乏运动习惯，虽然摄入的食物比非肥胖儿童少。另一方面，肥胖老年人的食物摄入量高于非肥胖老年人，且在运动习惯上没有差异。本研究应用模型营养平衡图软件和计算机系统对老年糖尿病患者进行为期六个月的膳食指导。干预后，糖的营养平衡显著下降（p < 0.05）。干预后晨餐前血糖值和HbA1c值均明显下降（P < 0.01和P < 0.05）。

We have taken a patent of the Model Nutritional Balance Chart Software and made a computer system for control of nutrition (Patent: No. 4987042). Using the system we observed that obese children were deficient in an athletic custom, although intake of food was less than the non-obese children. On the other hand, obese older persons intake of food were higher than the non-obese old persons and there are no difference of athletic customs. In the present study, we studied that old patients with diabetes mellitus were treated meal guidance using the Model Nutritional Balance Chart Software and computer system for six months. After intervention, significant decreases in nutritional balance were observed for sugar (p < 0.05). After intervention, the serum glucose value before meal in the morning and the HbA1c value were significantly decreased (p < 0.01 p < 0.05, respectively).
