Navigating Eating Disorders in your Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Navigating Eating Disorders in your Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Nearly 25-40% of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) report disordered eating behaviors. Though untreated eating disorders may negatively impact diabetes management, providers have reported limited knowledge on how to best support patients who are experiencing these concerns.  This webinar will overview relevant signs of disordered eating behaviors, factors affecting the relationship between T2D and disordered eating, and present some evidence-based strategies to assess and best support T2D patients who are affected by eating disorders.
