Abstract
Aims
Binge eating disorders (BED) are underdiagnosed in diabetes care, despite being the most common eating problem for diabetes patients. While diabetes-specific screening for disordered eating behaviour is recommended, the only diabetes-specific instrument available, Diabetes Eating Problem Survey-Revised (DEPS-R), focuses on type 1 diabetes and rapid-acting insulin, limiting its use across diabetes types and treatment regimens. This study aimed to develop a non-insulin version of the DEPS-R and evaluate its screening performance for BED in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Methods
The DEPS-R was reduced to 10 non-insulin-specific items (DEPS-10). As part of the ongoing pro-mental study, 679 people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes completed the baseline survey and took part in diagnostic interviews to assess BED. The screening performance of the DEPS-10 was tested via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and compared with DEPS-R and food-related items of the Problem Areas In Diabetes (PAID).
Results
N = 24 participants (total = 3.5%; type 1 = 2.9%, type 2 = 4.3%) were diagnosed with a current BED. The DEPS-10 performed well in screening for BED (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.92, p < 0.001) comparable with the DEPS-R (AUC = 0.92, p < 0.001) and exceeded the performance of food-related PAID items (AUC = 0.82, p < 0.001). A cut-off score of ≥15 showed optimal sensitivity and specificity in BED screening. People who met the cut-off had significantly higher BMI and HbA1c and more diabetes distress, depressive and anxiety symptoms.
Conclusions
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.
期刊介绍:
Diabetic Medicine, the official journal of Diabetes UK, is published monthly simultaneously, in print and online editions.
The journal publishes a range of key information on all clinical aspects of diabetes mellitus, ranging from human genetic studies through clinical physiology and trials to diabetes epidemiology. We do not publish original animal or cell culture studies unless they are part of a study of clinical diabetes involving humans. Categories of publication include research articles, reviews, editorials, commentaries, and correspondence. All material is peer-reviewed.
We aim to disseminate knowledge about diabetes research with the goal of improving the management of people with diabetes. The journal therefore seeks to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers worldwide. Topics covered are of importance to all healthcare professionals working with people with diabetes, whether in primary care or specialist services.
Surplus generated from the sale of Diabetic Medicine is used by Diabetes UK to know diabetes better and fight diabetes more effectively on behalf of all people affected by and at risk of diabetes as well as their families and carers.”
