Awards & highlights

Summary

This trial aims to test two programs that help people with type 2 diabetes who struggle with disordered eating behaviors. These behaviors, like binge eating or restrictive eating, can make it harder to manage diabetes

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with type 2 diabetes who also struggle with disordered eating behaviors like binge or restrictive eating. It's designed to help them manage these behaviors as part of their diabetes treatment.
What is being tested?
The study is testing two programs: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Guided Self-Help and The BEET Diabetes Program, to see which might better assist in managing disordered eating in those with type 2 diabetes.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions are behavioral therapy programs, there may not be physical side effects like with medication. Participants could experience emotional discomfort addressing their eating habits.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: The BEET Diabetes ProgramExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The BEET Diabetes program consists of 6 sessions that follow a sequence: the first 3-sessions weekly and the last 3-sessions every other week. These sessions help participants learn strategies and health behavior change through a self-monitoring form. Supporters (in this study, the BHPs) guide individuals through the program, maintain motivation, and facilitate appropriate goal-setting. The BEET Diabetes Program emphasizes treating disorder eating behaviors (DEBs) in the context of diabetes (i.e., psychoeducation on DEBs in diabetes, optimal daily glucose management, benefits of physical activity, and fruit and vegetable intake).
Group II: Cognitive behavioral Therapy Guided Self-helpActive Control1 Intervention
The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Guided Self-help consists of 6 sessions that follow a sequence: the first 3-sessions weekly and the last 3-sessions every other week. These sessions help participants learn strategies and health behavior change through a self-monitoring form. The CBTgsh program is delivered through the self-help book: "Overcoming Binge Eating" by Christopher G. Fairburn. Guided support sessions can be provided by personnel with no background training or knowledge of CBT or DEBs, as the book acts as the "expert."
