Imprisonment often improves metabolic control in prisoners with type 2
diabetes; however, the reasons for this remain unclear. Here, we
investigated the metabolic control of male prisoners with type 2 diabetes in
Japan. During imprisonment, mean fasting plasma glucose and hemoglobin Alc
(HbA1c) levels dramatically decreased from 184+/-74 to 113+/-38mg/dl
(p<0.001) and 8.4+/-2.1 to 5.9+/-1.2% (p<0.001), respectively. In addition,
5 of 18 prisoners (28%) treated with insulin and 17 of 34 (50%) treated with
oral hypoglycemic agents were able to discontinue their treatment and
maintain good metabolic control. Most prisoners in Japanese prisons work 8h
a day 5 days a week, consuming a high dietary fiber diet including boiled
rice with barley, "Mugimeshi". These findings suggest that a well-regulated
lifestyle and long-term intake of high dietary fiber may have beneficial
effects on metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.
