Aims: To evaluate evidence describing a potential association between carbohydrate counting (CC) in type 1 diabetes and eating behaviours and/or disordered eating behaviour (DEB).
Methods: Systematic literature searches were conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science,Scopus, and the trial register Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials.
Results: 37 articles were eligible for review, 28 measured CC, 26 provided evidence of an association between CC and eating behaviours or participants' relationship to food, and four provided evidence of an association between CC and disordered eating.
Aims: Despite the alarming increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in children and young People (CYP), and its associated morbidities and poor long-term prognosis, there remains uncertainty in its management. Dietary interventions have been shown to be effective in adults with T2DM, but little is known about their effectiveness in CYP. The aim of this systematic review is to provide up-to-date evidence regarding dietary interventions for T2DM in childhood and adolescence.
