Eating disorders and psychiatric morbidity in patients with diabetes mellitus.
The role of psychological factors in diabetes mellitus is discussed, with particular reference to the influence of eating disorders. The paper describes a prevalence study of eating disorders in outpatients with insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM) and a controlled questionnaire study of eating attitudes in a similar population. These studies suggest there is a genuine association between eating disorders and IDDM.
