Abstract
A close relationship exists between the physical and mental health of individuals with diabetes, the clinical features of an eating disorder can interfere directly with an individual’s ability to attend to the daily tasks of diabetes management (Colton, 2009). This can compromise the individual’s efforts to achieve optimal metabolic control and can lead to an increased risk of both immediate and long-term diabetes-related medical complications (Colton et al., 2009).
The aim of our study is to evaluate eating disorders in a group of Egyptian diabetic patients and their influence on glycemic control.
Our study was conducted on 300 subjects, selected from the National Institute of Diabetes and Endocrinology (NIDE) from September 2015 to June 2016. They were divided into 3 groups; group 1 (100 type 1 diabetic patients), group 2 (100 type 2 diabetic patients), group 3 (100 healthy subjects).
All 300 were subjected to full medical history taking, full Clinical examination, Body Weight and BMI calculation, Glycated hemoglobin measurement (Hba1c) estimation and questionnaire about EAT-26, ‘’eating disorder’’ from SCID-1 eating disorder and a question on insulin omission in native Arabic language.
