TEMPTATION
from the journal BioPsychoSocial Medicine
The inability to resist temptation may
be a key factor in type 2 diabetes.
Japanese researchers, led by Hiroaki
Kumano, compared a group of
diabetics with a similar group of nondiabetics.
Participants had to quickly
press a button in response to a
symbol on a computer screen.
Pressing the button in response to
the wrong symbol counted against
their score. People with diabetes
performed significantly worse on the
test. Kumano wrote in the journal
BioPsychoSocial Medicine that
patients with type 2 diabetes are
required to make strict daily
decisions, especially resisting the
temptation of high-fat, high-calorie
food. He says the inability to resist
that temptation or poor impulse
control suggests neurological
changes in diabetes patients which
may in turn exacerbate the disease.
