TOPLINE:
A new diabetes-specific 10-item screening tool demonstrated excellent performance in detecting binge eating disorder in both patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and those with type 2 diabetes (T2D), showing strong associations with glycaemic control and mental health outcomes.
METHODOLOGY:
Although diabetes-specific screening for disordered eating behaviours is advised, the only available tool — the Diabetes Eating Problem Survey–Revised (DEPS-R) — is tailored for patients with T1D on rapid-acting insulin therapy , limiting its applicability across other diabetes types and treatment regimens.
Researchers developed a 10-item non– insulin -specific version of the DEPS-R (DEPS-10) and evaluated its screening performance for binge eating disorder in 679 patients with T1D
