The goal of this research project is to improve the treatment of individuals living with both type 2 diabetes (T2D) and Binge Eating Disorder (BED). The research hypothesizes that BED treatment will not only improve BED symptoms but also improve T2D severity and associated cardiovascular risk factors. The research involves a multidisciplinary team, including experts in endocrinology, psychology, and eating disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does treatment for Binge Eating Disorder lead to improvements in BED symptoms? * Does treatment for Binge Eating Disorder lead to improvements in T2D severity and associated cardiovascular risk factors? Participants will undergo a comprehensive treatment program targeting both BED and T2D. This program will include psychotherapy sessions focusing on cognitive-behavioral techniques to address binge eating behavior. Researchers will compare participants' outcomes before and after the treatment program to assess changes in BED symptoms, T2D severity, and associated cardiovascular risk factors.
