Challenges in eating for diabetic adolescents can be categorized as eating disorders (ED) and disordered eating symptoms (DES). Binge-eating disorder (BED) is defined as recurrent episodes of binge eating at least once a week over a three-month time period and it is accompanied by feeling the lack of control and marked distress over one's eating behaviour. The aim of the present study was to specifically screen obese diabetic adolescent female individuals for BED, checking the variants of the GR gene (rs56149945; rs41423247) amongst identified individuals, and this led to assessing the impact of binge eating disorders on glycaemic control in obese diabetic adolescent females in Pakistan, South Asia.
