Interventions for binge eating disorder in adults with type 2 diabetes: A systematic review
Authors' conclusion
Evidence on the effectiveness of health interventions for adults with binge eating disorder and type 2 diabetes is scarce and of very low certainty. Well-designed, preregistered and adequately powered trials are needed to determine whether targeted interventions can improve both binge eating outcomes and HbA1c in this population.

Pooled result
As reported in the abstract
- GLP-1RA studies: binge eating outcomes and HbA1c improved during active treatment vs control
- Relapse after GLP-1RA discontinuation reported in one study
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) not superior to non-prescriptive therapy; both groups improved over time
- Single-arm study: guided self-help associated with within-group improvements in binge eating outcomes
- Overall certainty of evidence very low
