Eating Disorders in Type 1 Insulin-dependent Diabetes Patients

Prevalence of Eating Disorders in Adult Patients With Type I Diabetes and Insulin Pump Treatment

The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of eating disorders in type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes patients

The risk of developing an eating disorder is increased in type 1 diabetes patients and associated with a poor prognosis in terms of glycemic control, metabolic complications, degenerative complications, and mortality.

Therefore the terminology diaboulimia has emerged to characterize an eating disorder specific to type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes patients, with insulin under dosage with a view of losing or controlling weight and that can contribute to a deterioration of the body composition.
