Abstract
Background and Aim: Type II diabetes (NIDDN) is one of the most common metabolic diseases involving 5-6 percent of human population. In addition to its high prevalence, it is of high importance due to complication such as CVD, nephropathy, neuropathy, etc. According to various studies, neutrients have a vitcel role in preventing and controlling it, This study is, therefore, designed to determine the status of nutrients and energy in take in type II diabetic patient in Sabzevar in comparison with Standard measures.
Materials and Methods: This cross- sectional analytical study is conducted on 92 type II diabetics referring to Sabzevar diabetes clinic. Their height and weight were measured, nutrients intake of each subject were obtained via 24- hour recall in three successive days and nutritional frequency. Food processor software was utilized data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, one- sample t-test and Smirnof- Kolenogrof.
Results: Mean age of the patients was 53.83±13.03 years and their mean BMI was 26.89±4.82 kg/m2. In this research, intake of energy and all macronutrients except for protein were less than standard in men and women (P<0.05). Also, intake of all micronutrients except for sodium was less than standard in women. In men, micronutrients including follacin, vitamins B12, E, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, zinc and celenium were less them standard values (P<0.05) .
Conclusion: The findings indicated that the intakes of micro- and macronutrients in type II diabetics are lower than the standard values. Therefore, more attention is to be paid the diet of these patients to reduce the risk of relevant complications.

Abstract
Aims: In subjects with flatfoot (also called pes planus), the arch supports (or foot orthoses) are used as a protective treatment. Considering the importance of the compensation of flatfoot in athletes, this study was conducted aiming at investigating and comparing the effect of foot orthoses with and without medial wedge on the energy consumption in runners with flatfoot.
Methods: This quasi-experimental research of convenience non-probability sampling type was done on 20 athletic men suffering from flexible flatfoot on two sides in 2009. Subjects were selected from among the athletes referring to Enqelab sport complex using non-randomized method. Subjects’ feet were examined to determine and diagnose the presence of any flatfoot based on their arcs. Following the preparation of the arch support fitting for each subjects with and without medial wedge, the amount of oxygen consumption, maximum amount of consuming oxygen and the maximum Heart Rate (HR) were measured. Data was analyzed using SPSS 11 software. Moreover, pair T-test was used to compare the results before and after the intervention.
Results: The amount of oxygen consumption using arch support with medial wedge (4488.30±78.31) and without medial wedge (4604.60±67.83) had a significant difference (p=0.038). The maximum amount of consuming oxygen of the subject using arch support with medial wedge (54.37±6.62) and without medial wedge (63.60±6.53) had also a significant difference (p=0.024). The difference of the maximum Heart Rate (HR) with medial wedge (153.24±4.29) and without medial wedge (164.48±6.15) was significant (p=0.018).
Conclusion: Adding medial wedge to foot orthoses can be helpful to decrease energy consumption during running in athletes.
