A multifaceted educational program was designed to maximize dietary adherence of twenty-three diabetic subjects in order to study two experimental diets for forty weeks. The results of the program showed that a high level of diet adherence was achieved in spite of the strict dietary guidelines. The success of the educational approach was also reflected in the high attendance rate (99 per cent of 270 subject visits) and the low voluntary attrition rate (4 per cent).Five aspects of the over-all design were felt to have been of major importance in gaining subject cooperation: (1) the small, grouporiented learning process; (2) frequent intervals of follow-up; (3) feedback on laboratory data; (4) individualization of diet prescriptions; and (5) family involvement.Since the majority of diabetics seen in medical clinics fail to follow their prescribed diets, the concepts and approach applied to this study may be applicable to the dietary management of diabetic patients. Such implications and specific recommendations are presented in this report. DIABETES 23:669-73, August, 1974.

“…3 The International Diabetes Federation has subsequently released estimates of the number of people with diabetes for 2003 to be 194 million and forecasts that the number for 2025 will be334 million. 6 When lifestyle modification, diet, and exercise fail to maintain adequate glycemic control, oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs) are introduced as a treatment approach. 5 Lifestyle modification, diet, and exercise of moderate intensity are used to improve insulin sensitivity and are recommended as an integral part of the treatment of type-2 diabetes.…”

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of glimepiride plus extended release metformin (MET) on glycemic control in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus uncontrolled on monotherapy with sulfonylurea or MET. This was a prospective, open-labeled, multicentric study over 12 weeks. Patients who were diagnosed with type-2 diabetes and were uncontrolled on monotherapy with single oral hypoglycemic agents such as glimepiride or MET and characterized by glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥7% and ≤10% and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥ 140 mg/dL were enrolled in this study. Treatment regimen was started at 1 mg of glimepiride plus 500 mg of MET once a day and was titrated to next dose level depending on the clinician's judgment, not exceeding a total daily dose of 8 mg of glimepiride and 2000 mg of MET. After 12-weektreatment, glimepiride plus MET combination showed improvement in metabolic control as assessed by changes in HbA1c, FPG, and post prandial glucose (PPG). Primary efficacy parameter, HbA1c, was significantly reduced to (7.65 ± 1.70) at the end of the treatment from the baseline value (8.35 ± 0.93) (P < 0.001). Of the patients, 65.79% showed ≥0.5% reduction in HbA1c and or HbA1c <7% at the end of the therapy. FPG and PPG were significantly reduced at the end of the therapy as compared with baseline values (P < 0.001). Moreover, the lipid profile was also improved during the treatment period. The addition of glimepiride to MET is an effective treatment for patients inadequately controlled on sulfonylurea or Met alone. A combination of glimepiride with MET achieves good glycemic control with better tolerability profile.

“…Frequently, a printed diet plan that bears no resemblance to the patient's dietary habits is handed over to him. 4 West 5 has attributed the failure of diet therapy to limited conceptual and technical knowledge of most physicians concerning diet suitable for various types of diabetes. He considered most diet counseling as ineffective and wasteful and urged a candid appraisal of the shortcomings and their persistence in this area.…”

The nutritional knowledge and control of diabetes was assessed in 43 nonketosis-prone diabetic subjects. Patients were semiliterate or illiterate. They were exposed to a 1-h nutritional counseling program in groups of three to five. The nutritional counseling program was highly simplified and emphasized only a few important aspects of diabetic diet. Patients' nutritional knowledge improved significantly after nutritional counseling. The control of diabetes also improved significantly in those patients in whom control had been inadequate.
