Diabetes is a condition in which your body cannot properly use and store food for energy. Diabetes mellitus is chronic metabolic disease characterized by higher than normal blood glucose level. To control your blood glucose (sugar), you will need to eat healthy food, be active and you may need to take pills and/or insulin. Diabetes patients need menu planning with an extra care regarding their nutrients intake (energy, protein, fat and carbohydrate) .For a diabetic person glycaemic index is a important criteria .It is very important to maintain the glycaemic index less than 70 for a diabetic person . The requirement of nutrients needs are determined from the chart give by the World Health Organization (WHO) standards and are assimilated in the model in the form of constraints. The aim of this paper is to develop a goal programming optimization diet model subject to specific goals. Objective function in the model is designed in a way to minimize sum of the deviations percentages of the weighted goals with respect to food cost and energy density. Model is developed using goal programming for optimization to meet daily nutrients needs. Function in the model is designed in a way to minimize deviations from the defined micronutrients and macronutrients needs as well as from the food cost. As a result, the solution of the model is optimal selection of the food intake, subject to minimize deviations from the defined goals. The measures are taken by organizing nutritious dietary menu for diabetes mellitus patients. Dietary menu with appropriate amount of nutrients is prepared by considering the amount of calories, proteins, fats and carbohydrates. In this study, Goal Programming model was employed to determine optimal menu variations for diabetes mellitus patients by paying attention to optimal expenses.
