Living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) often means constant focus on food, numbers, and control, which can sometimes spiral into disordered eating.

In this powerful episode of the Diabetes Nerd Podcast, we speak with guest expert Beth Braun, PhD, to explore the connection between diabetes and eating disorders, such as emotional eating, binge eating, and diabulimia.

Beth works closely with diabetes nonprofits such as the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF), running support groups and integrating body and mind wellness. 

Beth shares her expertise in behavioral medicine and nutrition, providing practical strategies to develop a healthier relationship with food, handle triggers, and address the psychological challenges specific to diabetes management.

Whether you’re struggling yourself, supporting someone you love, or simply want to gain a deeper understanding of this issue, this conversation offers candid insights, practical tools, and hope for recovery.
