Background: Co-morbid diabetes and eating disorders have a particularly high mortality, significant in numbers and highly dangerous in terms of impact on health and wellbeing. However, not much is known about the level of awareness, knowledge and confidence amongst healthcare professionals regarding co-morbid Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and eating disorders. Aim: To understand the level of knowledge and confidence amongst healthcare professionals in Wales regarding co-morbid T1DM and eating disorder presentations, identification and treatment. Results: We conducted a survey of 102 Welsh clinicians in primary care, diabetes services and eating disorder services. 60.8% expressed low confidence in identification of co-morbid T1DM and eating disorders. Respondents reported fewer cases seen than would be expected. There was poor understanding of co-morbid T1DM and eating disorders: 44.6% identified weight loss as a main symptom, 78.4% used no screening instruments, and 80.3% consulted no relevant guidance. The respondents expressed an awareness of their lack of knowledge and the majority expressed willingness to accept training and education. Conclusion: We suggest that priority must be given to education and training of all healthcare professionals in primary care, diabetes services and mental health services who may see patients with co-morbid T1DM and eating disorders.

Background: To measure the relationship between variability in HbA1c and microalbuminuria (MA) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in the long term. Methods: A prospective case-series study, was conducted on 366 Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus patients with normoalbuminuria and without diabetic retinopathy at inclusion. The cohort was followed for a period of 12 years. The Cox survival analysis was used for the multivariate statistical study. The effect of variability in microangiopathy (retinopathy and nephropathy) was evaluated by calculating the standard deviation of HbA1c (SD-HbA1c), the coefficient of variation of HbA1c (CV-HbA1c), average real variability (ARV-HbA1c) and variability irrespective of the mean (VIM-HbA1c) adjusted for the other known variables. Results: A total of 106 patients developed diabetic retinopathy (29%) and 73 microalbuminuria (19.9%). Overt diabetic nephropathy, by our definition, affected only five patients (1.36%). Statistical results show that the current age, mean HbA1c, SD-HbA1c and ARV-HbA1c are significant in the development of diabetic retinopathy. Microalbuminuria was significant for current age, mean HbA1c, CV-HbA1c and ARV-HbA1c. Conclusions: By measuring the variability in HbA1c, we can use SD-HbA1c and ARV-HbA1c as possible targets for judging which patients are at risk of developing DR and MA, and CV-HbA1c as the target for severe DR.

There is building evidence that early intervention is key to improving outcomes in eating disorders, whereas a ‘watch and wait’ approach that has been commonplace among GPs and other healthcare professionals is now strongly discouraged. Eating disorders occur at approximately twice the rate in individuals with type 1 diabetes compared to the general population. In this group, standard eating disorder treatments have poorer outcomes, and eating disorders result in a particularly high burden of morbidity. Therefore, our first priority must be prevention, with early intervention where disordered eating has already developed. Clinicians working in both eating disorders and diabetes specialist services have highlighted the need for multidisciplinary team collaboration and specific training, as well as improved treatments. We review the current evidence and future directions for prevention, identification and early intervention for eating disorders in children and young people with type 1 diabetes.

Dietary intake requires attention in the treatment of both eating disorders and type 1 diabetes (T1D) to achieve optimal outcomes. Nutritional management of both conditions involves encouraging a wide variety of healthful foods in the context of usual cultural and family traditions. In recent times, low carbohydrate diets have seen a rise in popularity, both in T1D and in the general population. Low carbohydrate diets involve dietary restriction, although the extent depends on the level of carbohydrate prescription. Although dietary restriction is a known risk factor for eating disorders, there is limited literature on the impact of following a low carbohydrate diet on the development and maintenance of eating disorders in T1D. The aim of this review is to discuss the impact of dietary restriction on the development and treatment of eating disorders and propose considerations to enable optimum health outcomes in individuals with T1D, an at risk group. In order to achieve this, clarity regarding strategies that allow both flexibility in dietary intake and facilitate healthy eating behaviours, whilst achieving glycaemic targets, are required.

OBJECTIVE <p>To ascertain the association and co-aggregation of eating disorders and childhood-onset type 1 diabetes in families. </p> <p>RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS</p> <p>Using population samples from national registers in Sweden (n= 2 517 277) and Demark (n= 1 825 920) we investigated the within-individual association between type 1 diabetes and EDs, and their familial co-aggregation among full siblings, half-siblings, full cousins, and half-cousins. Based on clinical diagnoses we classified eating disorders (EDs) into: any eating disorder (AED), anorexia nervosa and atypical anorexia nervosa (AN), and other eating disorder (OED). Associations were determined with hazard ratios (HR) with confidence intervals (CI) from Cox regressions. </p> <p>RESULTS</p> <pre>Swedish and Danish individuals with a type 1 diabetes diagnosis had a greater risk of receiving an ED diagnosis (HR [95% CI] Sweden: AED 2.02 [1.80 – 2.27], AN 1.63 [1.36 – 1.96], OED 2.34 [2.07 – 2.63]; Denmark: AED 2.19 [1.84 – 2.61], AN 1.78 [1.36 – 2.33], OED 2.65 [2.20 – 3.21]). We also meta-analyzed the results: AED 2.07 [1.88 – 2.28], AN 1.68 [1.44 – 1.95], OED 2.44 [2.17 – 2.72]. There was an increased risk of receiving an ED diagnosis in full siblings in the Swedish cohort (AED 1.25 [1.07 – 1.46], AN 1.28 [1.04 – 1.57], OED 1.28 [1.07 – 1.52]), these results were non-significant in the Danish cohort.</pre> <p>CONCLUSION</p> <p>Patients with 1 diabetes are at a higher risk of subsequent EDs; however, there is conflicting support for the relationship between having a sibling with type 1 diabetes and ED diagnosis. Diabetes healthcare teams should be vigilant for disordered eating behaviors in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. </p>

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) can occur at any age but is most commonly diagnosed between infancy and late 30s. The SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study estimated that in 2009 about 18,436 US. Youth were newly diagnosed with T1D. Approximately 70% of these youths were non-Hispanic Whites, 17% were Hispanics, and 11% were non-Hispanic Blacks [1]. T1D is associated with an increased risk for several health problems including cardiovascular diseases [2-4], epilepsy [5], retinopathy [6], and thyroid autoimmunity [7,8]. Studies in Norway found that despite improved diabetes care, mortality remains three to four times higher among those with childhood-onset diabetes compared with the general population [9]. When looking at case management as a whole in regard to diabetes, many problems can be seen with the current management plans and limitations can be seen in the methods used to educate diabetics on their condition. When looking at future paths to take to improve diabetes case management a few can be proposed including evidence-based case management, case management methods that address low health literacy and numeracy and using various phycological behavior theories to see how this adolescent population can be best addressed.
