Type 2 diabetes and night eating syndrome

Hello, are you someone who snacks a lot after dinner, wakes up full in the morning and feels very hungry in the evening and/or interrupts his sleep at night and gets up and eats? Do you think I have night eating syndrome? Do you also have diabetes? Let’s take a look at the article we prepared together about night eating syndrome. Night eating syndrome (NES) is an eating disorder that is generally triggered by mood disorders, characterized by loss of appetite in the morning, hyperphagia (feeling of hunger) in the evening, eating after waking up from sleep, and insomnia (insomnia). It has been determined that night eating syndrome is common in obese and Type 2 DM adults. The incidence of NES in TYPE 2 diabetes patients was also reported as 3.8%. In addition, lack of sleep and poor sleep quality, which are the characteristics of night eating syndrome, are also risk factors for Type 2 diabetes. In order to be diagnosed with night eating syndrome, the following diagnostic criteria must be met: 1. Recurrent episodes of night eating, manifested by consuming too much food after waking up or after dinner 2. Remembering food and awareness of eating 3. A serious distress or disorder in the body with night eating 4 Eating at night, changes in the individual’s sleep-wake cycle affect social life Experimental studies have shown that one-day high-fat overfeeding in humans causes a 17.1% increase in postprandial blood sugar and a 28% decrease in insulin sensitivity in the whole body. has been observed. On the other hand, it has been stated that calorie restriction for diabetes management can accelerate disordered eating. In particular, low-calorie diets have been shown to improve type 2 diabetes control. Therefore, low-calorie diets are recommended for patients who are not diagnosed with night eating syndrome. In addition, sleep deprivation and poor sleep quality, which are features of night eating syndrome, are also risk factors for type 2 DM and obesity. No effect of insulin or drug use on appetite was found in any of these studies. The impact of new diabetic drug treatments that greatly reduce appetite and the increasing use of low-calorie diets and bariatric surgery in the treatment of type 2 diabetes make the screening and early diagnosis of eating disorders such as night eating syndrome even more important.
