Dr. Srikameswaran will talk about disordered eating and eating disorders and their presentation and impact on those in the T1D community, how to seek professional support and navigate the health care system, and effective therapeutic approaches.  We will also be joined by fellow Huddlers Maureen Duncan, who will share their personal experiences with disordered eating and its treatment. We already have a number of great questions submitted on various types of eating disorders, and how to notice and break bad eating habits.
