Disordered Eating, Body Mass, and Glycemic Control in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes

Abstract

Female patients aged 13-14 years seem to be at greatest risk for developing disordered eating patterns. Using the clinical cutoff score (> or = 5) of the EDI Bulimia subscale as a screener in diabetes clinics may help identify adolescents whose disordered eating patterns are likely to compromise their glycemic control.
