A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The Diabetes Body Project 2 (DBP2) adapts a body-image prevention program originally developed for young women with type 1 diabetes to women with type 2 diabetes. The interventional program (Body Project Type 2) enrolls women 18–40 years with type 2 diabetes for at least six months who report body image concerns and delivers structured sessions that may be video-recorded. Outcomes measured include feasibility, body image satisfaction, disordered eating behaviors, and glycemic control before and after the intervention. Participants with recent eating-disorder hospitalization or diabetes-related DKA, insufficient English, or cognitive/psychiatric limitations are excluded.
