title: Eating disorders and psychiatric morbidity in patients with diabetes mellitus.
abstract: The role of psychological factors in diabetes mellitus is discussed, with particular reference to the influence of eating disorders.

These studies suggest there is a genuine association between eating disorders and IDDM.
