Type 1 Diabetes and Eating Disorders
Maximise clinic time and improve self-management by using Living With Diabetes and Eating Disorders.
Research shows that a person with type 1 diabetes is more than twice as likely as the average person to develop an eating disorder. About 250,000 people in England have type 1 diabetes, and 40% of young women with type 1 suffer from eating disorders.
