Abstract |
:
Eating disorders (EDs) are common complications in people with type 1 diabetes (PwT1D), given the rigid focus on food and insulin dose adjustment. Dietary recommendations for T1D match those for the general population, yet many fail to achieve target HbA1c. Evidence suggests that lower carbohydrate meals and thus reduced insulin requirements may decrease inconsistencies in insulin absorption, maintain euglycemia and weight. Dietary restriction is a recognized risk factor for ED development, and Ketogenic Diets (KD) involve restriction of common family-based foods, thus impacting social normality and microbiome diversity. We reviewed the current literature on PwT1D following a KD to understand effects on ED risks. |
