About this Webinar:

Type 1 diabetes increases acute and long-term morbidity and mortality risks. These risks are further increased by disordered eating and insulin behaviours (i.e., restriction, omission), which most often emerge
in adolescence and persist if not detected and intervened upon. New technologies, including continuous glucose monitoring and automated insulin pumps, enable unique insights into glucose levels and meal behaviours. In this webinar, Dr Smart will provide an overview of screening tools and technology reports to enable the detection of eating disorders. She will also cover the initial response that can be provided in the diabetes clinic and discuss case studies to highlight factors clinicians should consider across the different
automated systems.
