The BEET Diabetes Feasibility Trial
Sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver
Summary
Disordered eating behaviors (DEBs, e.g., binge eating or restrictive eating) can significantly impact type 2 diabetes (T2D) self-management and engagement in treatment for diabetes. Managing DEBs is a treatment component in diabetes self-management; however, it is not often the primary focus, and trained behavioral health providers are inconsistently involved in comprehensive diabetes management. This study plans to pilot two behavior change programs for disordered eating in T2D and gather information on factors that predict successful adoption and implementation in real-world clinical settings.

The BEET Diabetes Program
The BEET Diabetes program is an adapted CBT program specifically designed to treat disordered eating and improve diabetes self-management. Participants receive support from BHPs to guide them through the program, maintain motivation, and facilitate appropriate goal setting.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Guided Self-Help
6-session cognitive behavioral therapy delivered through the self-help book "Overcoming Binge Eating Self-help" by Christopher G. Fairburn. The manual focuses on reducing binge-eating episodes. Guided support sessions can be provided by personnel with no background training or knowledge of CBT or disordered eating behaviors, as the book acts as the "expert."
