Arab science Want to avoid diabetes? Eat slowly By Nina Muslim, Staff Reporter gulfnews.com Dubai: Preliminary findings of a study suggests some wisdom lies behind every mother's caution for her child to chew and eat slowly it may help delay the start of diabetes. The study, conducted by Dr Aus Al Zaid, diabetes consultant at Riyadh Armed Forces Hospital, found that the faster people ate, the higher their risk of developing diabetes. Dr Al Zaid told Gulf News that he wanted to determine if the high prevalence of diabetes in the Gulf was related to the Arab culture of finishing large meals quickly. "As a people, we tend to eat fast. I wondered if that is why [diabetes is high here]," he said after presenting a lecture at the Arab World Diabetes Summit. The study had 23 men per group consume the same dish at different speeds one in 10 minutes, while the other in 20 minutes. Both groups later switched to determine the reliability of the findings. Both times, the blood sugar level in fast eaters was 30 per cent higher than the slow eaters. He said the findings suggest that over the long term, the pancreas might shut down after continuously producing insulin, leading to diabetes.
