Webinar: Navigating Type 1 Diabetes and Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are prevalent in the type-1 diabetes population. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of resources or supports currently available for this combined population.

We will discuss:
- The statistics and etiology of eating disorders in the T1D population
- Diabulimia: a T1D-specific eating disorder
- Red flags for identifying ED in people with T1D
- T1D-specific screeners
- Strategies towards recovery

Katie BartelKatie Bartel has had type-1 diabetes for over 30 years. As a patient in the BC healthcare system, she saw several healthcare gaps related to this population, and a lack of resources for this population. It was her experience as a patient that drove her to leave a successful career as a newspaper journalist and become a registered dietitian – specifically to work with people with type-1 diabetes.
