Abstract Disclosure: N. Viera Felicino: None. D. Lam: None. Background: Eating disorders(ED) occur at twice the rate in people living with type 1 diabetes(PWT1D) compared to the general population. Early detection and prevention necessitate a high level of clinical suspicion, as the coexistence of ED and T1D is linked to compromised metabolic control, earlier onset of microvascular complications, elevated mortality rates and diminished quality of life. Despite this, healthcare providers often encounter multiple challenges, such as the tendency for ED/DEB to be well hidden and/or denied, as well as a general discomfort in broaching this sensitive topic. Compounding the issue is the scarcity of literature offering optimal methods for supporting and treating individuals suffering from this dual diagnosis. Here, we conducted a survey at an academic center to assess providers’ overall knowledge and comfort level regarding the intersection of ED/DEB in PWT1D. Methods: A 15 question anonymous survey was distributed to members of our Endocrinology division, including fellows, attendings, and advanced practice providers (APPs) across four practices within an academic center in New York City. The primary objectives of the survey were to gauge participants' understanding in three key areas: general knowledge regarding the prevalence of this dual diagnosis, awareness of associated morbidity, and their professional experiences in providing care to this population. Results: The survey was distributed to a total of 40 participants with 29 responses: 38% Endocrine fellows, 41% attending physicians, and 21% APPs. 97% acknowledged that ED are more prevalent in PWT1D compared to the general population and 25% could identify validated screening tools for ED. Regarding the association between ED in PWT1D and health outcomes, 67% accurately identified the increased risk of developing microvascular complications and 36% recognized the increase in the risk of all-cause mortality. 71% reported caring for a PWT1D who expressed concerns about insulin and weight gain. When asked to rate their comfort level in addressing these concerns, 13.8% and 3.4% reported feeling comfortable and very comfortable, respectively. 86% of respondents expressed unfamiliarity with available resources for providing support to individuals in this group. Discussion: The results of the survey show general acknowledgment of the heightened prevalence of ED among PWT1D and association with morbidity and mortality, but emphasizes gaps in knowledge, a general sense of discomfort, and a shortage of resources to effectively manage individuals within this patient demographic. Our survey highlights the need for enhanced education and resources to better equip healthcare professionals in managing the complex intersection of both disorders. Given that diabetes outcomes are heavily dependent on behavioral adherence, strategies for addressing ED are crucial for comprehensive patient care. Presentation: 6/2/2024
