Abstract:
Eating disorders have especially devastating consequences for patients with diabetes. Even subclinical eating disorders can interfere with glycemic control and result in complications of diabetes mellitus. But, eating disorders of diabetic patients are often undetected and untreated. Therefore, diabetes educators must play a critical role in the detection, support, referral, and treatment of diabetic patients with eating disorders.
