Addressing binge eating in people with type 2 diabetes: Co-creating and feasibility testing dialogue tools based on a design thinking approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Binge eating disorder may affect one in four individuals with type 2 diabetes, potentially leading to negative health outcomes. However, binge eating often goes unaddressed in diabetes care due to the absence of screening tools and the reluctance of patients to seek help due to shame and guilt.

Objective

The study aim was to develop acceptable and feasible diabetes-specific dialogue tools to facilitate discussions about binge eating between patients with type 2 diabetes and clinicians, serving as a first step toward the detection and management of potential binge eating in this population.

Design

The development and evaluation of the dialogue tools were conducted according to the Medical Research Council's complex interventions framework.
