Disordered eating in women with type 1 diabetes: Continuous glucose monitoring reveals the complex interactions of glycaemia, self‐care behaviour and emotion
Diabetic Medicine Nov 27, 2020
Chandran SR, Zaremba N, Harrison A, et al. - As glycaemia is not well characterized in patients with type 1 diabetes and disordered eating, researchers explored glycaemia, as well as the self‐care behavior and emotional state of women with type 1 diabetes and disordered eating. For this case–control study, the sample consisted of 13 women with and 10 without disordered eating and type 1 diabetes. Disordered eating has a major effect on the glycaemia and emotions of people with type 1 diabetes. According to the results, those with type 1 diabetes and disordered eating spent longer time above range in level 2 hyperglycaemia (> 13.9 mmol/L, Median [interquartile range]: 21% [16,60] vs 5% [2,17]) and had lower time in range and comparable time below range vs those without disordered eating. The median of the percentage of rising sensor glucose trends was three times higher in the disordered eating group. They also had higher negative emotional and physical symptoms linked with high blood glucose (>15 mmol/L).
