| Research Abstract |
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).
