title: [Eating behavior in patients with diabetes mellitus].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the specific features of eating behavior (EB) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).
  
  
  METHODS
  One hundred and seventy-eight patients, including 128 with type 2 DM and 50 with type 1 DM, were examined. Questionnaire survey, general clinical, and laboratory studies were conducted.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient groups did not differ in educational level and gender. In the patients with type 1 DM, the duration of the disease was longer and the incidence of complications was higher than in those with type 2 DM. Carbohydrate metabolism was decompensated in the majority of the patients with types 1 and 2 DM. A higher normative score if only by one of the disordered EB (DEB) scales (according to the DEBQ), was found in 68 and 78.9% with type 1 and type 2 DM, respectively. The patients with type 2 DM were more frequently ascertained to have restrictive EB. The patients with type 2 DM and restrictive EB were more aware of the disease, more often checked blood glucose levels themselves, and were better compensated. The proportion of patients with external and emotiogenic EB did not differ between the groups, the latter type was registered less frequently.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Disordered EBs were detected in many patients with DM. The found features of EB may be taken into account while teaching the patients.
