Adherence
Binge eating behaviors reduce the efficacy of weight loss interventions in type 2 diabetes, and dieting itself can be a risk factor for the onset of binge eating.
Be aware that restrictive dieting can trigger binge eating in some patients with type 2 diabetes. If binge eating is present, it will hinder weight loss success. Address this by avoiding punitive language and focusing on positive, varied food choices rather than strict restriction.
