Type 2 Diabetes Patients May Lack Self-Control
By Donna Parker • Apr 12th, 2010 • Category: Blood Sugar, Health News
Individuals who suffer from type 2 diabetes may want to consider developing an alkaline diet filled with fruits, whole grains and vegetables, as a new study is suggesting that they may not be able to utilize self-control when it comes to eating. And this lack of control could potentially lead to obesity and high blood sugar.
Findings published in the journal, BioPyschoSocial Medicine, reveals that a common complication that is associated with obesity is the loss of self-control, causing patients to eat more than they originally planned with no means of stopping.
Lead researcher Hiroaki Kumano said he believes that by adopting a healthier eating lifestyle, patients who suffer from type 2 diabetes may avoid other health complications that are associated with overeating.
"Patients with type 2 diabetes are required to make strict daily decisions; for example, they should resist the temptation of high-fat, high-calorie food, which is frequently cued by specific people, places and events," he said. "Appropriate behavior modification thus depends on the patient’s ability to inhibit impulsive thoughts and actions cued by these environmental stimuli."
