Research summary
The T1DE specialist clinics at KCH and RBH are the first multidisciplinary specialist clinics delivering care to people with T1DE in the country. Aim of this study it is to develop a deeper understanding of the complex and wide clinical spectrum of eating disorders and disordered eating in people with T1DM attending a specialist multidisciplinary pilot service.
This longitudinal cohort study aims to describe the biomedical and mental health of the clinic cohort attending the T1DE specialist service, refining diagnostic criteria based on a mixed-methods analysis of the clinical cohort. The ultimate aim is to deliver tailored and effective clinical care in the future that improves clinical outcomes, service user experience and health service efficiency.
The study will include:
• Conducting a cross-sectional observational study of the T1DE cohort;
• A Longitudinal cohort observational study of the T1DE clinic users;
• Qualitative exploration of service users’ clinical letters and generation of anonymised ‘case vignettes’ that integrate physical and mental health parameters. The latter will feed into the DefinED-T1 project to define the phaenotypes of disordered eating in people living with T1DM.REC name
