Insulin restriction occurs when an individual takes less insulin than recommended and is a serious concern for those with diabetes. General insulin restriction (IR) and insulin restriction for weight control (IRWC) have not been clearly distinguished in the literature, creating inconsistencies and limited understanding of factors that underlie this behavior. We examined whether these are distinct, and how emotion dysregulation and depressive symptoms relate to both forms of insulin restriction during late adolescence.
