Original computer programs for assessment of energetic value of nutrition and daily energy expenditures of man based on physical activity protocols have been developed. The programs were tried in 16 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes, and essential individual differences from tentative table estimations of energy expenditures were detected. Correlations between treatment efficacy and individual energy expenditures of patients were observed; a moderate deficit of nutrition calories was found more detrimental for metabolic control than their moderate excess. The regularities detected even in such a nonrepresentative sample permit us evaluate high the potentialities and significance of the suggested method for assessment of energy expenditures.
