Overeating, binge eating, quality of life, emotional difficulties, and HbA1c in adolescents with type 1 diabetes: A Danish national survey

Abstract

In a Danish national survey of adolescents with T1D, approximately one-third of participants had overeating or binge eating symptoms, comparable with the numbers in a U.S T2D population. Increased binge eating symptoms associated with lower QoL, higher depression scores, higher anxiety scores, and poorer clinical outcomes. Binge eating symptoms were markers for poor mental and somatic health.
