Associations between eating habits and glycemic control and obesity in Japanese workers with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the impact of poor eating habits on glycemic and metabolic control, we analyzed the associations between eating behaviors and HbA1c and body mass index (BMI) in Japanese workers with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Subjects and methods

The Japan Medical Data Center database of workers' medical health insurance claims was used to identify individuals with T2DM who were receiving antidiabetic medication between April 2012 and March 2015 (the primary analysis population). The database included routine medical check-up results and responses to questions on lifestyle and eating habits. Using these, we retrospectively analyzed the associations between the individuals' eating habits and their HbA1c levels and BMIs.

Results

In total, 31,722 individuals
