Support Group Surveys for Individuals Who Have Type 1 Diabetes and an Eating Disorder

November 30, 2015 updated by: HealthPartners Institute
We propose to conduct a monthly group of persons with type 1 diabetes who also withhold insulin. Subjects will be asked to complete a 2-page survey (check-in sheet) at the beginning of each session and a 5-page survey (Diabetes and Eating Disorders Survey) on their first session and at their last session of their group.
