    Saw the BBC 3 programme

    Curly and Lucy, I am diagnosed as AN b/p subtype rather than Diabulimia so I completely understand and can resonate a lot with your feelings. Lucy, I am just down the road from Portsmouth . I really hope you are able to access some specialist treatment.

    Hey all, going through a difficult time

    I had no idea it had been moved see, but the numbers should have been edited out by whoever moved it. @kaylz91 please do not worry, no need to apologise. I'll have a think about your question regarding what to ask your consultant and get back to you. Whereabouts are you based?

    Bubbles in novorapid insulin

    Hi there, did you mean to post this in the diabetes and eating disorders forum? If yes that's absolutely no problem as we welcome all diabetes related discussions here but just wanted to double check as your post didn't mention eating disorder issues :). Thanks. & yes as @justbe said they are...

    Hey all, going through a difficult time

    Hey @kaylz91 Again, I am so so sorry for being late to respond here. I have had a busy few weeks and have been struggling a bit myself. Firstly, I am sorry but have needed to remove the numbers used in your posts as these are now permitted in the diabetes and eating disorder forum as stated...

Vision blurry lately so wasn't expecting good news, Letter came Wednesday and I have 'sight threatening retinopathy', needing urgent referral to hospital for more treatment and have an appointment Wednesday.

    The all-inclusive T1ED + gastroparesis thread

    Hi @saruhbeau! I am sorry you are dealing with all this right now :(. I don't have a gastroparesis diagnosis either but believe I definitely have symptoms of it. i think it can be worse sometimes to be in that unknown category where they won't actually allow for any treatment. I hope your...

    T1ED General Chat Thread

    Regardless of the 'T1ED' being confusing or not, should the fact that the sub-forum is 'diabetes and eating disorders' not indicate that this not about erectile dysfunction? You just have to look at the name of the forum you are in, which will also come up when you view new posts. As many of...

    diagnosis of eating disorder because I'm type 1 and follow low carb diet?

    @michita by insulin manipulation I mostly meant omission in a sense that someone be restricting their insulin or manipulating their prescribed or set doses to lose weight. My comment about weight not being an INDICATOR (rather than not an issue) of an eating disorder was mostly in response to...

    Can i eat Grapes

    Hi and welcome :). I am unsure about why you posted this here. Do you have an eating disorder @umar54? You can certainly eat grapes. You can eat anything you like as long as you take the insulin you need to cover the carbohydrate content. I like freezing them when it's really hot, so...

    That sounds like 'dire bull', which poor bull are you calling dire?! :***: Haha. (okay where is the laughing emoticon, I cannot find him!)

    diagnosis of eating disorder because I'm type 1 and follow low carb diet?

    Wow, yeah this is all kinds of wrong. I am so sorry it happened to you. It sounds to me like you actually were trying to avoid becoming unwell by low carbing as they wouldn't give you insulin! I would have been concerned if say you had been avoiding carbs because you didn't want to take insulin...

    What's On Your Mind Today thread (WOYMT) v.1 T1ED style.

    So I forgot my finger pricker today when I went into work. Ended up feeling weird and thought I was hypo, so raided the sugar cannister. Came home and tested only to find I am as high as a kite and was probably either high in the first place or just dizzy from the heat. Fail. I don't know how I...
