ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
The disordered eating behaviour (DEB) is related to active behaviouring on a diet or to feast, compulsive eating, or purging (inefficient use of laxatives, diuretics, and self-induced vomit) and its frequency has become considerably higher in the last years at different parts of the world
Research motivation
The knowledge of validated instruments that examined DEB and eating disorders of adolescents with type 1 diabetes (DT1) may subsidize prevention actions for potential risks to altered eating habits
Research objectives
To identify and analyze the validated instruments that examine the DEB and eating disorders among adolescents with DT1.
Research methods
This is an integrative review of the literature conducted from February to April 2021 on a single desktop machine.
Research results
We concluded that the most used psychometric scale for analyzing eating behaviour and risk for eating disorders is The Diabetes Eating Problem Survey-Revised.
Research conclusions
Therefore, the tools have shown themselves as essential for identifying DEB or eating disorders of adolescents and adults afflicted by DT1.
Research perspectives
Further studies should be conducted to explore the best scale to study the eating behaviour of adolescents with diabetes.
