Relationship of weight and eating disorders in type 2 diabetic patients: A multicenter study

Abstract

Our results in a type 2 diabetic sample indicate that weight might have an impact on body and eating-related psychological distress in type 2 diabetic patients, but is of minor or no importance for depressive symptomatology, lower self-esteem, and general psychiatric symptomatology. Type 2 diabetic patients with an ED, however, suffer from considerable psychiatric symptomatology.
