Abstract
The present review set out to critically evaluate and synthesise empirical evidence regarding the risk factors associated with young people with Type One Diabetes for developing eating disorders. Six databases (Medline CINAHL, Pubmed, EMBASE, APA PsycINFO and Scopus) were systematically searched using the terms guided by the scope and aim of the review. A total of sixteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were synthesised using a narrative approach. The results were structured into themes; Biological, Physiological and Psychosocial risk factors, with corresponding sub-themes. The findings indicate that there is a risk profile that can be identified in young people with Type One Diabetes for developing eating disorders such as: being female, higher HbA1c levels, increased body dissatisfaction and disease specific risk factors such as disruption to satiety. The findings from this review highlight the importance of incorporating mental health care within the management and treatment of chronic physical health conditions. Effective management of Type One Diabetes within young people could include integrating psychoeducation around eating disorders and preventative strategies as standard practice.
