Detecting clinical cases of binge eating in diabetes care: Introducing the Diabetes Eating Problem Survey‐10 ( DEPS ‐10) for type 1 and type 2 diabetes
Authors' conclusion
DEPS-10 is a reliable screening instrument for BED. Its associations with glycaemic and mental health outcomes reflect its good construct validity comparable to DEPS-R.
