Forty-one subjects with non-insulin dependent diabetic nephro- pathy in the Taichung Veterans' Hospital were studied: 20 volunteers were in the case group, and the other 21 subjects were in the con- trol group. Blood and urine samples were collected for measurement, while nutrition knowledge questionnaire, dietary and clinical data were collected by interviews. The subjects in the case group re- ceived 5 classes of nutrition education within 2 months and followed up for 2-3 months . The control group had no nutritional lessons, but received leaflets. The results of this study were as follows: 1.The case group scored significantly higher points than the control group for a test of nutritionknowledge after education (P<0.001). 2.The case group was significantly lower than thecontrol group for the frequency of intake of plant protein food such as beans, seeds and nuts soy bean products and high fat meats (P<0.01;p<0.01; P<0.05; P<0.05). 3.Regarding nutrients intake, no change was observed for the control group. The case group had decreased intake of total protein (both animal protein and plant protein) and carbohydrate. Compared with the control group, protein intake had significantly decreased in case group(P<0.01). 4.After the nutrition education, the variation of body mass index ( B.M.I.) for the control group showed no change were observed, but the case group had significantly lower B.M.I. than the control group(P<0.05). 5.Urinary albumin excretion rate for the control group showed no change. The case group had much less urinary albumin. It was also lower than the controlgroup after the education (P<0.001).
