Filter by:The purpose of the study is to investigate how people with type 1 diabetes experience and manage their diabetes, eating, and weight. Summary of the Study: If you choose to participate, you will complete a set of questionnaires and a structured interview. You will then wear a continuous glucose monitor and use your cell phone to answer study questions for a period of 3 days. The questions come in the form of regular phone calls between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Each call takes only a minute or two to complete. You will also be asked to call in and answer study questions at other times during the day, especially after eating. The study involves a minimum of 2 clinic visits to Duke. Participants who live greater than 1.5 hours from Duke can be approved to take part in the study by phone/Skype. Participants will receive and return study materials through the mail.
Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for patients with extreme obesity. Psychological interventions are not routinely offered in Bariatric Surgery Programs. Preliminary evidence suggests that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) might be effective in reducing binge eating and improving surgical outcomes. The current study will examine whether the addition of telephone-based CBT (Tele-CBT) to the usual standard of care is more effective than the usual standard of care alone, and whether it is more effective when delivered prior to or following bariatric surgery.
The investigators are investigating whether a hormone that is naturally produced by the human body, called testosterone, can help improve weight, disordered eating, depression, and anxiety. The investigators hypothesize that testosterone will be a novel and effective endocrine-targeted therapy for patients with anorexia nervosa.
The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a survey instrument to be used by persons with type 1 diabetes aged 12 and older to screen for an eating disorder.
The purpose of this study is to analyze a chart audit of patients seen at Park Nicollet Eating Disorder Institute (EDI) to identify and compare general characteristics of eating disorders with type 1 diabetes patients to a matched eating disordered population without type 1 diabetes, also seen at EDI.
We propose to conduct a monthly group of persons with type 1 diabetes who also withhold insulin. Subjects will be asked to complete a 2-page survey (check-in sheet) at the beginning of each session and a 5-page survey (Diabetes and Eating Disorders Survey) on their first session and at their last session of their group.
A technique that has been found to be effective at relieving the physical and psychological symptoms associated with inhibiting emotions and emotional thoughts is written emotional disclosure.

The aim of this study is to determine whether in-patient treatment is better then intensive out-patient group treatment for patients with concurrent eating disorder and personality disorder.
This study will assess naltrexone's effectiveness in treating alcoholism in women and provide information on its potential value in treating eating disorders common among alcoholic women. Alcoholic women with and without both eating disorders and depression will be randomly assigned to placebo or naltrexone treatment.
