We cover: The most common food and body struggles people with diabetes faceCait and Tracy’s own stories with binge eating and negative self-talk.Why diabetes increases the risk of eating disorders.Practical strategies for breaking these patterns.How to find professional help from someone who "gets it".If you're a diabetic struggling with these issues, here are some helpful resources.
