| Research Abstract |
The basic treatment for type 2 diabetes is dietary therapy and appropriate exercise, but improvement in these lifestyle habits is often difficult. To search for new solutions to problems in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, we focused on behavioral economic analysis and analyzed trends in patients with diabetes that have poor glycemic control from a neuroeconomic perspective. Our survey suggests that type 1 and type 2 diabetes are basically different diseases. In middle-aged patients with type 2 diabetes, quantitative literacy proficiency was lower. The low survey response rate may also be related to awareness of this low proficiency. This lower literacy proficiency may play a role in the onset of type 2 diabetes, and with the additional factor of procrastination, this can lead to a worsening condition and progression of complications.
