Predisposition to eating disorders in adults with type 1 diabetes: Comparison between multiple daily injections and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion
Authors' conclusion
A non -significant higher percentage of BSQ class 1 was detected in subjects T1DM compared to healthy controls. Among subjects with T1DM, no differences between MDI and CSII were observed in ED predisposition. A more perfectionist personality has been detected among subjects on MDI.
