Aims: We explored the prevalence of disordered eating behaviours (DEBs) and attitudes among older adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and associations with demographic and clinical variables.
Methods: Adults aged ≥65 years with T1D from a university-affiliated hospital system completed an electronic survey (September to November 2023) including the Diabetes Eating Problem Survey-Revised (DEPS-R). Clinical data were extracted from medical records.
Background: The number of older adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is increasing. Use of automated insulin delivery (AID) may influence nutrition and eating behaviors. We explored how three eating styles (restrained, external, emotional) differ between older adults with T1D who use and do not use AID.

Our aim was to elicit perspectives about research recruitment among a diverse sample of older adults with diabetes participating in a qualitative study.
Methods: Older adults with diabetes and caregivers were recruited through purposive sampling for semi-structured interviews focused on diabetes self care.
Aims: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use remains low in older adults. We aimed to develop a conceptual model of CGM integration among older adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Methods: We previously engaged older adults with type 1 diabetes using participatory system science methods to develop a model of the system of factors that shape CGM integration.
