“…Sugar-sweetened beverages are among the nutritional factors that are most closely associated with cardiovascular risk, which is already high in T2DM patients [ 66 ]. The western dietary pattern, rich in animal products and carbonated beverages, has a negative impact on the anthropometric and metabolic parameters of T2DM patients [ 67 ]. Our study showed that individuals who scored higher on emotional or external eating considered food taste the major determinant of food choice, which is consistent with previous work [ 68 , 69 ].…”

Diet and eating behavior both play a crucial role in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The main objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between dietary intake and eating behavior in a population of patients with T2DM. A cross-sectional study was performed using 416 patients with T2DM and their dietary intake and eating behavior were assessed with validated questionnaires. Women scored significantly higher than men for emotional and restrained eating (p < 0.001). Correlation analyses showed that emotional eaters consumed significantly more calories (r = 0.120, p = 0.014) and fat (r = 0.101, p = 0.039), as well as non-alcoholic beverages for women (r = 0.193, p = 0.003) and alcohol for men (r = 0.154, p = 0.038). Also, individuals who ate based on external cues consumed significantly more calories (r = 0.188, p < 0.001) and fat (r = 0.139, p = 0.005). These results demonstrate that eating behavior influences dietary intake. Understanding this relationship could optimize diabetes management and allow for more individualized nutritional guidance.
