Article Synopsis
  • - The study aims to assess how common disordered eating behaviors (DEB) are among Australian adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and to explore their relationship with clinical factors, insulin pump therapy (IPT), continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data, and psychological traits.
  • - Among 50 participants, 48% showed elevated DEB scores, with this group more likely to be female, have higher HbA1c and BMI Z-scores, and exhibit poorer glucose control compared to those without DEB.
  • - The findings suggest DEB are prevalent in this population and linked to worse diabetes management, highlighting the need for regular screening since diabetes technology alone isn’t enough for identifying these behaviors.

Inclusion criteria were observational studies reporting on associations between dietary factors, disordered eating, physical activity, sedentary and sleep behaviours and measures of adiposity in children and adolescents (<18 years) with T1D.
