Participants in the structured
nutrition therapy
arm of the
study reduced A1C by an average
of 0.67 percent and reduced body weight by an average
of 3.5 Kg over 16 weeks.
For example, when
studying about
nutrition, children are guided in the creation
of colorful Shakir strips that they then use to measure the upper
arm circumferences
of their younger siblings and friends between the ages
of one and five.
