Abstract

We present a case of a 15-year-old female with severe malnutrition (BMI =11.25 m2/kg) caused by avoiding high-carbohydrate foods after being misdiagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and later diagnosed with Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) type 2, which led to anorexia nervosa (AN) subsequently. The report aims to examine the possible transitions between different types of disordered eating and eating disorders (EDs) and to stress the importance of further counseling for patients with chronic illnesses, particularly in cases where daily dietary habits could be significantly impacted.
