First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a 6-week virtual program called the Diabetes Body Project 2, designed to prevent eating disorders in women aged 18-40 with type 2 diabetes. The program includes weekly group sessions and home exercises to improve body image and reduce disordered eating. Researchers want to see if it also helps with blood sugar control.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide an effective, scalable program to reduce eating disorders and improve body image in women with type 2 diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 42 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is behavioral and may not work for all individuals.
