As reported in the abstract
CBT model of disordered eating in men with T1D
- Men with T1D and disordered eating experience negative thoughts about food, insulin, weight/shape and diabetes itself, causing negative emotions such as fear and vulnerability
- Difficulties with diabetes self care (hyper- and hypoglycaemia; problems accessing structured education and technology) result in men feeling more dissatisfied about their body weight/shape
