Objective To evaluate the effect of consecutive diet nursing intervention on elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods 56 elderly type 2 diebetes patients were randomly selected in control group and were given conventional type 2 diabetes management. The other 56 patients in experimental group were not only given routine care, but also 3 months of consecutive diet nursing intervention. At the 1st and 3rd month, assessment of blood glucose test and quality of life were conducted by all patients conducted. T test, chi-square test were used in the statistics. Results In experimental group, the controlling effect of fasting plasma glucose and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose have been significantly improved. 3 months after the consecutive diet nursing intervention, fasting plasma glucose of control and experimental groups were (7.18±0.89) mmol/L and (6.37±0.74) mmol/L (P=0.027). After 1 months of the consecutive diet nursing intervention, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose of control group and the experimental group were (11.69 ± 1.58) mmol/ L and (9.03 ± 2.13) mmol/ L (P = 0.028) respectively. After 3 months of intervention, the number were were (12.12±2.36) mmol/L and (8.36±1.65) mmol/L respectively (P<0.01). In the experimental group, the therapeutic dimension of quality of life has been gradually decreased and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusions Consecutive diet nursing intervention can effectively improve the blood glucose control of elderly type 2 diabetes patients.

We study the possible reasons and the scientific and effective intervention measures of the prevalence of PLBP among nurses. There is a high frequency of work-related PLBP among nurses, and to explore associations with personal characteristics, occupational risk factors and psychosocial influences. The factors related to PLBP find in this study are: age, length of employed, bearing household, the department, weekly bending times, monthly night shift, moving and handling times.
