Effects of the limited calorie diet on the elderly bedridden patients with Type 2 Diabets Mellitus

Objective To observe the influence of the limited calorie diet on pancreas function and the nutrition of the elderly bedridden patients with T2DM. Methods 15 patients with T2DM were examined,and we compared the levels of FPG,HbA1c, fasting insulin,fasting C peptide,insulin dosage,ALB and HGB of these patients on different days before and after the limited calorie diet[from 30kcal / ( kg·d) to 20kcal / ( kg·d) ]. Results The levels of FPG,HbA1c,fasting insulin and fasting C peptide were decreased obviously on the 35th day after the limited calorie diet,on the contrary,the levels of ALB and HGB were slightly increased than before. Conclusion Limited properly calorie diet effectively reduced the level of blood glucose,improved insulin resistance,and had no bad influence on the nutritional status of the patients.
