title: [Co-morbidity between type 2 diabetes mellitus and night eating].
abstract: The core symptoms of the night eating syndrome (NES) are overeating in the evening and/or nocturnal awakenings with the ingestion of food. The aim of this study was to examine metabolic and psychopathological differences between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with and with-out night eating (NE). A total of 226 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus participated in the study. Night eating (NE), defined as the ingestion of ≥25% of the daily food intake in the evening or nighttime, was reported by 28 (12.4%) of the participants. In addition, diabetes-related variables, eating and dieting behavior as well as eating-related and general psychopathology (depression, quality of life) were assessed. Compared to pa-tients without NE patients with NE showed higher HbA1c values, higher scores on the disinhibition and the perceived hunger scale, lower scores on the quality of life scale and higher depression scores.
