I really couldn't put it any better than @Juicyj that is the biological process behind your appetite, I was the same before I was diagnosed I was just stuffing my face with milkshakes and cakes - as soon as my control got better I lost my appetite

Hi @Catherine4188 I'm jacq and I run DWED. Your story is actually really familiar you are certainly not alone, it is really easy to let Diabetes become the low priority when you have other stuff going on in your life, even the most experienced of us go through phases like that. My feeling...

Hi I would say that if you have suffered with Diabulimia in the past then you need to be super, super careful and it might be worthwhile trying to see a psychologist or the like now to head off any potential issues. If you have been recently diabulimic it may be that you are still suffering...

Yes this sounds like classic diabulimia which is 'the manipulation or omission of insulin specifically and only for weight control purposes'. I recommend you join our growing community on facebook if you are based in the UK. Also diabulimia is highly morbid with other diagnoses like anxiety, BPD...

Hi Guys, we have moved most of our support over to facebok and you are welcome to join our group over there at anypoint should you feel the need, you can access it by simply searching for the charity facebook page, we've had loads of issues getting notifications from the forum and as part timers...

Hi there For some reason we are not getting notified of forum posts. I think I have responded to you via the DWED website though? Please let me know if this is not the case by PMing our Facebook Page

Hi Rebecca I'm Jacq and I run DWED, just wanted to reach out to you to let you know that you are absolutely not alone. Around 40% of t1 women struggle with insulin omission and by the age of 25, 60% will have experienced a clinically diagnosable eating disorder. If you go onto the dwed...

Hi sorry to hear this, I think the main thing is to make sure that you keep taking your insulin, not eating is bad but you need to make sure that you're not going full relapse. I also get like this as I have really bad anxiety and that just kills my appetite, it's ironic I think too that when...

Hi there I'm sorry that you are going through this it's so hard to get help for disordered eating behaviour rather than a straight up ED like anorexia or bullimia. That having been said you do sound like you may fit the criteria for binge eating disorder and there are now specific NICE...

Hi Lucy - I will DM you - I've spoken to the D consultant and he gave me his email for you to get in touch with him - actually can you email me via the DWED website and we can chat there x

Hi Lucy -I do know some people in and around Portsmouth and I know a D consultant there who I've worked with so I'll get in touch and see what the protocol would be to get you seen there - How are you doing today

I was thinking actually that perhaps they could give you a CGM for a while so you could actually see what effects fats have on your carb counting, there is a wider issue here that may come into play as CGMs can become very addictive and may not help if your already obsessing. Might be worth a...

Hi Lucy My friend Dr Jen Nash wrote a book called Diabetes and Well being and that's quite good as an overview into sort of general psychologcial functioning with Diabetes. Dr Anne Goebel Fabri has written really good book called injecting hope - she was one of the very very first psychs to...

yes but this is in the Type 1 and Eating Disorders section, we are not experts in type 2 here we are specialist mods for people who have type 1 and eating disorders

Hi there, this is actually a lot more common than you might think and you are doing the right thing now by trying to nip it in the bud. It appears, that the main sense of anxiety here is the blood sugar aspect which has now directly affected your weight and has pushed it to the place that people...
