“…There was a reduction of the same parameters also in both groups, but the magnitude of the reduction in G-was lower and correspondingly the p value was lower. While the (near) normalisation of many biochemical variables is the rule with weight loss [8][9][10], the logistic regression analysis demonstrates that a large residual variation is unaccounted for by the weight change in the G+ group, thus suggesting a favourable effect of Glucerna ® SR beyond the weight reduction. The weight loss was independent of the blood glucose status, as in the literature [1,7].…”

We treated 96 obese diabetic subjects (BMI 33-44 kg/m 2 ) with a "package of interventions" including therapeutic education, regular follow-up at 15-day intervals and a hypocaloric diet of 60% of their daily needs, 20% at breakfast and 40% at each meal. At the beginning of the observation and after 3 and 6 months we checked certain baseline characteristics. All the subjects performed self blood glucose measurement (SMBG) 3 or 5 times a day and kept a log. After the first 3 months of observation (Phase 1) 18 were lost to follow-up and 40 who obtained a weight loss >5% of their initial BW continued on their diet (G-). The remaining 38 substituted a nutritionally rich hypocaloric meal (Glucerna ® SR) for 206 calories of one of the main meals (G+). During the following three months (Phase 2) all were treated with the package of interventions. The subjects treated with Glucerna ® SR had a more consistent weight loss and a more remarkable improvement of the parameters under evaluation, with greater statistical significance. With the logistic regression analysis the residual variance not explained by the weight loss was greater for the G+ group, which implies the existence of an additional beneficial effect of the formula used. Of great relevance is the observation that the G+ group had a reduction of the standard deviation of the SMBG data, thus suggesting a greater stability of the BG values in this group.

“…This is very good as taking care of one's diet affects the patients' weight, that a 10 kg reduction in weight can be compared to the effect of one anti-hypertensive tablet [27]. Exercise is also known to Table 2 Consultation time spent on different subjects before and after the consultation training, as percentage points of total time, with the respective ranking.…”
