This abstract discusses about some general information
regarding diabetes type 1 and type 2, living with type 1
diabetes, how the frequent occurrence of a hypoglycaemia
can lead to weight gain in T1D, the importance of carb
counting to manage diabetes and to reduce the exposure to
hypos. Also, stories of people living with type 2 diabetes, how
diabetes has changed their lives, necessary actions towards
their lifestyle and eating habits and the impact of weight loss
on their lives.
Women comprise 85–90% of the clinical population
suffering from a diagnosable eating disorder. Research
on eating disorders in men, however, is nearly obsolete. There
are numerous societal and biological reasonsmen suffer from
eating disorders significantly less frequently than woman.
This review will explore the various possibilities accounting
for the reasons men, older men, gay men and ethnic men have
been ignored in literature, research and treatment of eating
disorders, and the consequences of the dearth of information.
It further will address the stigma, environmental, cultural, and
biological influences of men with eating disorders. Since the
majority of the individuals affected by eating disorders are
women, much of the research in this field is catered towards
that population, which leaves men with an uncertain etiology,
pathology and questionably effective treatment.
