Abstract
The role of psychological factors in diabetes mellitus is discussed, with particular reference to the influence of eating disorders. The paper describes a prevalence study of eating disorders in outpatients with insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM) and a controlled questionnaire study of eating attitudes in a similar population. These studies suggest there is a genuine association between eating disorders and IDDM.Keywords
