0.004), increased servings of fruit per day
(1.89 vs. 1.68, P 0.016), and increased vegetable
servings (2.24 vs. 2.06, P 0.011) but
did not decrease weight. However, weight loss
for individuals who received the healthy eating
intervention and who increased SMBG frequency
as recommended was significantly
greater, with a 0.26-kg loss in those who remained
in a pre-action SMBG stage but a
1.78-kg loss in those performed SMBG as recommended
(P 0. 01).
