is aversion therapy useful in case of diabetics ? read the details.?

Question

though, the diabetic levels are not under control, some diabetics eat sweets abundantly and suffer. my question is , by applying aversion therapy, can the behavior modification therapists create feelings of aversion towards sweets?

Answer 1

Aversion therapy would not work for diabetics. People who have diabetes have problems with more than just sweets. The idea that you have to check your "sugar level" often leads people to believe that diabetics only have to worry about sugar. Once you stop eating sugar, diabetics just move on to other things, like bread, pizza, pasta. Anything with wheat or any carbohydrates will increase sugar (glucose) levels. Almost all food turn into glucose so the body can assimilate it into cells as nutrients.
If you want to see how well aversion therapy works on foods, look up studies on Antabuse that is used to curb alcoholism (another big glucose make).

Answer 3

I'm a diabetic who gets sick after eating sweets. You only have to throw up something sweet once, and you'll stop craving sweets.

Note - this is a case of type I diabetes. It doesn't work with bulemics. Notice how they can't quit trying anyway.

Answer 4

Yeah, that's a good idea send the diabetics into a hyperglycemic coma. Good idea. There are always going to be some people that are non-compliant with any kind of diet/regimen and that is their choice. They are choosing to die earlier than need be and probably without at least one of the feet, but oh well.
