Background: Co-morbid diabetes and eating disorders have a particularly high mortality, significant in numbers and highly dangerous in terms of impact on health and wellbeing. However, not much is known about the level of awareness, knowledge and confidence amongst healthcare professionals regarding co-morbid Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and eating disorders. Aim: To understand the level of knowledge and confidence amongst healthcare professionals in Wales regarding co-morbid T1DM and eating disorder presentations, identification and treatment. Results: We conducted a survey of 102 Welsh clinicians in primary care, diabetes services and eating disorder services. 60.8% expressed low confidence in identification of co-morbid T1DM and eating disorders. Respondents reported fewer cases seen than would be expected. There was poor understanding of co-morbid T1DM and eating disorders: 44.6% identified weight loss as a main symptom, 78.4% used no screening instruments, and 80.3% consulted no relevant guidance. The respondents expressed an awareness of their lack of knowledge and the majority expressed willingness to accept training and education. Conclusion: We suggest that priority must be given to education and training of all healthcare professionals in primary care, diabetes services and mental health services who may see patients with co-morbid T1DM and eating disorders.

There is building evidence that early intervention is key to improving outcomes in eating disorders, whereas a ‘watch and wait’ approach that has been commonplace among GPs and other healthcare professionals is now strongly discouraged. Eating disorders occur at approximately twice the rate in individuals with type 1 diabetes compared to the general population. In this group, standard eating disorder treatments have poorer outcomes, and eating disorders result in a particularly high burden of morbidity. Therefore, our first priority must be prevention, with early intervention where disordered eating has already developed. Clinicians working in both eating disorders and diabetes specialist services have highlighted the need for multidisciplinary team collaboration and specific training, as well as improved treatments. We review the current evidence and future directions for prevention, identification and early intervention for eating disorders in children and young people with type 1 diabetes.
