Summary

A recent Diabetes UK Position Statement identified several key gaps in the evidence base that might improve mental wellbeing for people with diabetes; one of which was supporting people with diabetes and eating disorders. There is evidence indicating that disordered eating may be more prevalent in children and young people (CYP). Additionally, there is mounting supporting evidence for family-based treatments in both anorexia and bulimia. This study proposes to develop a psycho-education intervention for parents of CYP with Type 1 diabetes (T1D), which will include a one-day workshop with online, downloadable content, and to assess the feasibility of this intervention. Parents will be asked to complete questionnaires about eating habits, diabetes management (both behaviour and knowledge) and wellbeing at three time-points (baseline, one-month and three-months postintervention). Children will also be asked to complete measures on diabetes eating problems at the same time intervals. Parents randomised to the intervention arm will be invited to take part in a semi-structured interview and all parents will be invited to feedback on their participation. It is hypothesised that a psycho-education intervention aimed at parents will help prevent disordered eating in CYP with T1D and improve parental wellbeing.
