Objective: This study investigates depression and eating disorders in
children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and aims to determine the
associated factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted
with 149 children with type 1 DM aged 10-17 years. The Children's
Depression Inventory and Diabetes Eating Problem Survey-Revised were
administered, anthropometric measurements were taken, and certain
biochemical results were evaluated. Results: The mean age of the
children was 13.42 +/- 2.31 years. The children who did not use
carbohydrate counting had higher depression scores and lower eating
disorder scores than those who did and depression and eating disorder
scores were lower in children who used insulin pumps than in those who
did not. A one unit increase in the children's HbAlc levels caused a
three unit increase in eating disorder scores and 1.3 times greater risk
of depression. Conclusions: Nutritional, biochemical and psychiatric
evaluation, and monitoring are recommended when providing diabetes
control among children.
