Resumo:[eng] INTRODUCTION: Disordered eating behaviors (DEB) are frequent in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), presenting a prevalence of 8-55%. As in people without T1D, DEB are more frequent in females than in males and these behaviors are related with depressive symptoms and family conflict. Among people with T1D, DEB are associated with poor diabetes self-management and lesser metabolic control. Diabetes management requires meal planning, carbohydrate counting, regular blood glucose monitoring (BGM) and insulin administration all of which require proper executive functioning. Among people with T1D, executive function (EF) problems are associated with poor metabolic control and DEB. AIMS Study 1: To assess the prevalence of DEB in a sample of adolescents with T1D, and to describe and compare demographic, biomedical, and psychosocial characteristics according to the number of DEB. Study 2: To examine the association between EF problems, informed by teens and parents, and the number of DEB in a sample of teens with T1D. To assess the relationship between the number of DEB and the behavioral dysregulation, specially related to flexibility and emotional control.
