Abstract

<p>Over the past decade, the main complaints of people with type 1 diabetes visiting the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine at Kyushu University Hospital have changed dramatically. Previously, the majority of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus had concurrent eating disorders, with overeating and insulin omission. In recent years, however, the number of referrals with co-occurring eating disorders has decreased, and more patients are presenting with medically unexplained symptoms. Naturally, each person with type 1 diabetes mellitus has a different pathophysiology, and the treatment methods differ accordingly. The first half of this article introduces the concept of self-stigma and the three levels of psychosocial care for people with type 1 diabetes. In the second half of the paper, people with type 1 diabetes who have visited our department in recent years are divided into four types of patients according to their condition on a trial basis. We then discuss the treatment methods that may be effective and the role that the therapist should play.</p>
