Abstract:
Type 1 diabetes is the most common autoimmune endocrine disorder in children and adolescents, with incidence rising worldwide. Its management demands comprehensive care encompassing glucose monitoring, insulin therapy, and individualized nutritional education to support glycemic control and overall health. Establishing normal eating patterns is pivotal not only for prandial euglycemia but also for reducing the risk of disordered eating behaviors and eating disorders that are more frequently observed in youth with diabetes. Because eating patterns and self-management capabilities vary by developmental stage, interventions must be tailored to the physical, psychological, and social context of each age group. Screening tools such as the Diabetes Eating Problem Survey-Revised (DEPS-R) enable timely identification of at-risk individuals. In this scoping review we present the data from the literature regarding the eating patterns and deviations from infancy to adolescence, report the complications and discuss the challenges and insights for their management.
