Since diet is an essential component of the treatment f or diabetic mellitus, a progressive educational plan was designed to educate diabetic children for the proper selection of their foods. Seven suspicious children were chosen according to the previous oral glucose tolerance test and present blood glulose levels (fasting and postprandial 2 hours). The education program includes the basic nutrition study, learning of the five basic food groups, familiarization with the food exchange lists, calorie calculation and menu planning, and follow-up evaluation by checking every day - food intake. The duration for the education was five weeks.
The levels of fasting blood glucose and postprandial -2hours blood sugar of the seven children were significantly reduced after the 5-weeks education : FBS : from 92 -125 mg% to 67 - 80 mg%, pp - 2 hours BS : from 130 -169 mg% to 69 - 90 mg%.
The children have felt much better with profound self -confidences after the program. Their oral glucose tolerance test levels were also significantly decreased after the 5-weeks education in comparison with those of one year ago.
