It is worth noting that measuring DEB through self-reporting tools adapted for use with T1D patients allowed this study to identify certain diabetes-specific eating behaviors (i.e., insulin omission/reduction, as found in the present sample) that a generic tool would surely overlook, with the additional risk of misidentifying appropriate diabetes management behaviors as DEBs (e.g., some generic tools ask whether a subject keeps a count of the food they have eaten, inflating DEB symptom scores, since counting carbohydrates is now standard in the management of T1D). The gene discussed is INS; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
