OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY IN PEOPLE LIVING WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES: A CROSS-SECTIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE BETTER REGISTRY

Historically, people living with type 1 diabetes (PwT1D) had a normal or low body mass index (BMI). Parallel to the increasing prevalence of overweight (OW) and obesity (OB) in the general population, a similar phenomenon has also been observed in PwT1D in recent years. However, the emergence of OW and OB in PwT1D has not been well documented in terms of clinical impact. Thus, the objectives of this study were to assess the following in adult PwT1D: i) frequency and characteristics of OW and OB; ii) frequency of insulin resistance and double diabetes; and iii) the use of off-label insulin adjuvant therapies.
