Behavior Psychology and Body Weight Reduction of a Type 2 Diabetes Patient Using GH-Method: Math-Physical Medicine or Mentality-Personality Modeling (No. 308)

Abstract

In this article, the author used his 10-year data of body weight and some prominent lifestyle details, mainly food portions, and daily exercise, to address his weight reduction trend pattern and his progressive lifestyle behavior modifications. The research methodology used here is the GH-Method: math-physical medicine (MPM) approach which has been developed by the author during the past decade. This “Progressive Behavior Modification” concept is also a part of his Mentality-Personality Modeling (MPM). He addresses the quantitative linkage between physiological obesity phenomena and behavior psychological influences of an obese patient. He created a geometric presentation model with the meal portion percentage as the x-axis, daily walking steps as the y-axis, and daily weight as the z-axis (Figure 1). He decided to “fold over” the z-axis and superimpose it with the x-y planar space in a form of a “radio wave” format. Under this created 3D presentation on a 2D planar space, the weight reduction trend pattern becomes ultra-clear. These x-axis and y-axis values represent his progressive lifestyle behavior modifications (mentality-personality model) over the past 10 years, while the z-axis values present his obesity physiological outcomes (math-physical medicine). Over the past 10 years, the path of his annual weight movement started from the upper right corner (subregion E5 in 2010), moving with a ~45-degree downward angle before arriving at the near upper middle portion (subregion D4 in 2013), and then continue dropping to the lower middle location (subregion C1 in 2018). In summary, his entire body weight moving path is a 45-degree downward angle to the left and then straight down to the bottom. His annualized average daily weight has been reduced from the starting point of 220 lb. in 2010 through the “reflection point” of 183 lb. in 2013, and then straight down to the ending point of 171-173 lb. in 2018-2020. The triangular relationship among diet, exercise, and daily weight can be easily observed on this “weight reduction trend pattern” diagram (Figure 1). Figure 1: Weight Reduction Trend Pattern Diagram Among Body Weight, Meal Portion %, and Daily Walking Steps in 10 years (2010-2020) Through analyzing the distinctive daily glucose trend patterns, the personality traits and behavior psychological characteristics of this T2D patient can be revealed instantly and clearly. As a result, a more practical guidance of “progressive behavior modification” can be provided to other T2D patients in order to improve their medical conditions for chronic diseases, where some are caused by obesity.
