Design of food exchange list for diabetes mellitus by using modified local search techniques

Abstract

This paper proposed an application of modified local search for solving optimal assignment of food exchange list for diabetes. One case of diabetic has been tested with 20 independent trials. The computational result found that the average searching time was 1.4422 seconds. All obtained solutions are under constraints, error of required energy not over±30 kcal per day and error of carbohydrate, protein and lipid not over ±3 g per day.
