Up to 40% of people with T2D meet the criteria for binge eating disorder, yet specialist psychological support is rarely part of the treatment pathway. Disordered eating is a significant factor in not being able to follow a treatment plan, and many health professionals are frustrated by not knowing how to provide the support needed. This session helps attendees understand the complexity of emotional and binge eating, the personality traits so common in this sub-group of patients (and why it matters), and how specialist support can be integrated into the healthcare pathway so people get ALL the support they need.
