Sammanfattning
Chronic complications in diabetes are sometimes associated with living habits. To investigate whether diabetic people's habits of smoking, drinking alcohol and taking physical exercise differed from those of the general population, a questionnaire was sent to 561 insulin-treated diabetic people and to 1.125 controls. The findings suggest that diabetic people's smoking, drinking and exercise habits are rather similar to general people's. However, diabetic women seem to take risk factors for developing complications into concideration more than men, which could reflrct a true gender pattern and/or be an effect of worring more about diabetes.
