A preliminary study conducted by researchers in Lithuania found that study participants who ate food quickly were two and a half times more likely to have diabetes than those who ate slowly.
The study consisted of 468 participants who did not have diabetes and 234 who had type 2 diabetes. Researchers also found that the participants who had diabetes were more likely to have a high body mass index and lower education levels than their counterparts.

Lina Radzeviciene of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, and leader of the study wrote in a new release that “The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing globally and becoming a world pandemic.....It appears to involve interaction between susceptible genetic backgrounds and environmental factors. It's important to identify modifiable risk factors that may help people reduce their chances of developing the disease.”

Health Day News reports that the findings are to be presented in Florence, Italy at the joint International Congress of Endocrinology and European Congress of Endocrinology. The findings are considered preliminary until further studies have been conducted and the research is reviewed by the medical community.
