Recent research indicates that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), along with mood spectrum disorders, tends to affect the overall developmental course of Type II diabetes mellitus. Despite a paucity of pathophysiological understanding available for the observations in question, we can begin to extrapolate a possible mechanism of action for the associations. It has been reported that PTSD earthquake survivors in L'Aquila, Italy have modulated their respective dietary patterns from baseline [1]. Dysregulation in eating behaviors may be regarded as a maladaptive response to the initial traumatic event. It is conceivable to assume that disturbed consumption patterns may increase an individual’s likelihood of acquiring Type II diabetes mellitus some years down the line.
