Diabetes Mellitus and The Diet Plate®
Doctors on both sides of the Atlantic and in other parts of the world are increasingly recognising the importance of portion control in the treatment of diabetes are recommending their patients use The Diet Plate®.
The Diet Plate® is not only proven to help users lose weight, it remains the only portion control plate clinically proven to help in the management of diabetics. This ground-breaking work was done by Dr Sue Pederson of the University of Calgary, Canada and published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in June 2007. Dr Sue showed that one third of people with diabetes who used The Diet Plate® over a period of six months decreased their reliance on diabetes medication, including insulin. They also showed documented weight loss 80% greater than her control subjects and they saw decreases in cholesterol level. Dr Pederson concluded that “portion control” was a vital tool for people with diabetes to control their condition and that The Diet Plate® was a safe, and highly effective way of achieving that.
Dr Sue reporting on her findings said:
“the weight loss results are all the more impressive considering that people with diabetes in general do not respond well in weight loss programmes. Our overall results are comparable to similar studies undertaken using expensive weight loss drugs, but with no need for close medical supervision or risk of unpleasant side effects.”
The creator of The Diet Plate® Mrs Kay Illingworth reacted positively to the study.
“For years we’ve been helping men and women lose weight and helping them live normal lives. Now we can prove what we’ve always known, that The Diet Plate® is extremely effective and can greatly help people with diabetes regain control. It’s very exciting and rewarding to have developed such a simple and effective way to help people control their weight”.
Dr Ian Campbell, a leading UK expert on obesity and weight management welcomed the findings.
“Losing weight is never easy, and even harder for diabetics. To achieve these results over a six month period is excellent, and with no more side effects than an occasional decrease in blood glucose, easily corrected by a reduction in medication, is very impressive indeed. The Diet Plate® puts control back in the hands of the individual and makes it much easier for everyone who wants to lose weight and reap the health benefits.

The Diet Plate and losing weight
Losing weight is never easy, it is wrapped up in emotional issues, a general love of food, sedentary lifestyles, age and with some people a couldn’t care less approach to life. The latter normally enjoying youth and tighter waistlines!
Good nutrition is the foundation of our well being, a healthy weight/height ratio is ideal for a prolonged and happy life. It gives us the mobility to be active and enjoy the day and it gives us that “feel good factor” like the sun on our faces after a long winter.
Paying attention now to what we eat and how much we eat will reap dividends as we grow older. Those who have not paid attention and have adopted a less healthy approach to diet and nutrition are most likely to reap the negative sides of health, as most co-morbidity's of obesity are; heart disease, cancer, joint pain, strokes, Type 2 diabetes and general demise of being.
With many governments putting the onus on the individual to prevent these illnesses, it is essential that you look to your own lifestyle and ask yourself if you exercise enough, if you eat right, if you are over weight or if you drink and smoke to much? And, while life is not all about being angelic and having no vices, maybe heeding a few health tips now will prevent the unthinkable from happening?
The Diet Plate, now clinically proven to help control Type 2 diabetes was created by Kay Illingworth, who over a number of years grew from a healthy 70kg to an unhealthy 125kg. Finding it difficult to continually monitor her calorific intake, Kay had a stroke of genius one evening and calibrated a dinner plate and bowl. The effect was staggering! Kay lost 42kg in six months continual use of the system, without changing her diet or her cooking methods.
Kay says, “I thought if I could just cook what I normally cook for the whole family and serve it directly onto my special plate, stick like glue to the measurements because I knew they represented a certain amount of calories - I would be losing weight literally at the glance of an eye! Using the plate astounded me how much I over ate, my brain told me I had a 7 ounce portion on the plate, the scales told me it weighed 16 ounces and my dietitian had told me I was allowed 4 ounces. I was trying to lose weight and eat healthily but was still eating 4 times the amount I was allowed!”
The plate and bowl are made from fine earthenware, they are microwave and dishwasher proof and a tangible, durable weight loss system. Each comes with a 40 page instruction booklets and extra help is offered on www.thedietplate.com for those who would like support
