Official title
Development of a T2D-Specific, Virtually-Delivered Disordered Eating Prevention Intervention - Diabetes Body Project 2
About this study
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and effectiveness of an eating disorder prevention program specifically targeted for women with type 2 diabetes (T2D) called the Diabetes Body Project 2 (DBP2).
The Diabetes Body Project 2 (DBP2) will be adapted from the Diabetes Body Project, which is an eating disorder prevention program developed to improve satisfaction with body image and diabetes management for young women with type 1 diabetes (DBP).
The study is looking to see if the DBP is effective in improving body image concerns, reducing disordered eating behaviors and improving glycemic control in women with T2D.
