The purpose of this study was to measure the counseling effects for diabetes mellitus patients. To measure the effects of the nutrition counseling, 40(13 men and 27 women) outpatients with diabetes mellitus were selected and they were randomly assigned to either the counseling group or non counseling group. Twenty-one counseling group patients received nutrition counseling weekly for 6 weeks and 19 patients served as non counseling group(control group) did not received counseling over same study period. The results of this study can be summerized as follows : 1) The food attitude score of the counseling group significantly increased from 61.9$\pm$15.9 prior to counseling to 87.0$\pm$7.8 after counseling (p<0.001). 2) Fasting blood glucose level and postgrandial blood glucose level also showed significant difference between two groups(p<0.01). In the counseling group, the fasting blood glucose level significantly decreased from 163.5$\pm$48.6mg/dl to 142.3$\pm$40.6mg/dl(p<0.01), and the postgrandial blood glucose level significantly decreased from 281.3$\pm$105.1mg/dl(p<0.001). 3) There was a significant difference of glycosylated hemoglobin between the two groups(p<0.005), and the glycosylated hemoglobin level of counseling group significantly decreased from 11.2$\pm$2.9% to 9.7$\pm$3.6%(p<0.005). 4) There was a significant correlation between the food attitude score difference and the glycosylated hemoglobin level difference in counseling group(p<0.05).

This study was carried out to see the effect of individualized diet education on the improvement of blood glucose level according to the changes of nutrient intake with the subjects of 25 people. Among 25 people who participated in diabetic education program held in Chilgok-gun public health center, Gyeongbuk, there were 15 diabetic patients(3 males and 12 females) and 10 healthy people(2 males and 8 females) and after the diet education, the results were as follows. As for clinical characteristics, the diabetic group tended to have slightly higher blood pressure than the control group, especially diastolic blood pressure of diabetic group was higher than the control group with a significant level(p<0.05). Blood glucose level measured 2 hours after the meal was higher in the diabetic group than the control group with significant level(p<0.0001). For the clinical characteristic changes before and after the diet education, the blood glucose level in the diabetic group reduced significantly(p<0.01). For the daily diet intake, intake of fat in the diabetic group increased significantly compared to the one before the education(p<0.05). When comparing the ratio of carbohydrate: protein: fat, it was changed from 72.9 : 16.2 : 12.9 before the education to 63.8 : 15.1 : 21.1 after the education. From the above results, it is necessary to perform the diet education which carries out in the health center for diabetic patients with individualized goal by stepwise way rather than as one time try, and by developing the diabetic education media which is appropriate for the patients.
