ALT This colorful illustration highlights the POSE-D program, an online self-help intervention for adults with type 2 diabetes who struggle with disordered eating, specifically binge eating. Key statistics emphasize that 4 million people in the UK live with type 2 diabetes, and 1 in 4 of them experience binge eating disorders, affecting an estimated 1 million people. The program, conducted by researchers from Leeds University and local hospitals, is a 12-week online guided intervention with support from a trained guide. A key result shows that 90% of participants who completed the program experienced a significant reduction in binge eating, along with reductions in depression and anxiety. Improvements in mindful eating, better lifestyle choices, increased self-confidence, and continued positive progress are also depicted. The illustration concludes with logos for POSE-D and Diabetes UK, as well as a QR code for more information on the research.
