title: [Nutritional behavior of insulin-dependent diabetes patients studied with the KALI 2.1.2 computer program].
abstract: We investigated the levels of intake of essential nutrients in 51 patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. The mean daily intake in males was 223 +/- 55 g carbohydrates, 111 +/- 22 g fat and 112 +/- 27 g protein. In females the mean daily intake was 166 +/- 36 g carbohydrates, 78 +/- 23 g fat and 97 +/- 25 g protein. the percentage of calories from carbohydrates, fat and protein was for males 36:40:18 and for females 37:39:21 respectively. The daily intake of dietary fiber was 32.5 +/- 8.0 g in men and 28.3 +/- 6.4 g in women. The mean linoleic acid intake was 12 +/- 5 g/day in men and 9 +/- 4 g in women. A marginal deficiency of linoleic acid was found in 15% of men and in 25% of women. The P/S ratio of the diet was 0.35. The consumption of vitamins, minerals and trace elements differed considerably from the recommended dietary allowances.
