eating disorder

Hey guys, It's been a while I haven't posted here and tbh I'm not a very active member, so here is the little background: been diagnosed with pre diabetes and insulin resistance in 2020. My labs were showing high fasting glucose combine with a high fasting insulin ( aka Insulin resistance). I...

I'm a 27 year old male who's just had my highest reading of 123 mmol/mol. I eat badly - mainly down to an eating disorder, I have liver disease and high cholesterol but I've lost over 2 stone since my first diagnosis which was 80 mmol/mol. I could really do with some encouragement... Have I left...

Hi I am really struggling at the moment. I have been trying to communicate my concerns with my doctors for so long I’ve lost all hope or fight to look after myself at all. I really struggle with MDI due to complex mental health issues and I know a pump would take away some of that struggle...

Hi all, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last year at the age of 25. In June last year I recorded 80 mmol/mol however managed to reduce it down to 62 in January this year. Since then I've lost over a stone and a half however after getting a blood test done yesterday they've spiked to 102...

I’ve just received a diagnosis of “anorexia nervosa” it’s something I have difficulty to accept as I feel I don’t fit into the diagnosis. Everything is so confusing I’ve been diagnosed with pre diabetes ( insulin resistance) last year , and yes I did everything I could to control my insulin...

Hey, I am currently in counselling for an eating disorder. Is it possible to have anorexia and diabetes because I’ve only ever heard of diabetics who have diabulimia. anyone who could possibly comment would be much appreciated thank you

Hi all, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes late July this year. It didn't come as a total shock as I knew I was pre-diabetic at the end of last year but failed to change my lifestyle. Obviously with the C would floating around (Corona) it's been stressful on everyone this year. But coming to...

Hey all! About a month ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This wasn't a complete shock as back in January I was told I had pre diabetes but it's obvious to say I didn't act on it. Since I was about 14 I've suffered from Anorexia, Bulimia and Binge Eating. In the last few weeks I'm...

I've been lurking for ages. I've decided to take the bull by the horns! I desperately need help to alter my eating habits! I've been diagnosed T1 for 17 years following surgery on my pancreas. Aside from 3 pregnancies (during which I was perfectly controlled) I have never looked after my...

Hi, Today my diabetic specialist nurse recommend that I talk to my GP about insulin injection ports, due to my fear of injecting directly into my skin in relation to my eating disorder and other medical issues, I think they sound great. However when I called my GP as instructed, they were...

Hi, Sorry in advance for all the writing lol I have recently been diagnosed with Bulimia and I’m also type 1. I recognise the risks these illnesses have together and am currently receiving therapy to help me with this, however despite being bulimic (insulin restriction specifically), I am a...

Just got a letter following a mental health assessment I had a week ago, confirming I have Bulimia Nervosa, which is more complicated due to being Type 1 Diabetic (and I also have BPD which I’ve had treatment for). They’re moving really fast as I’ve been basically having no treatment and next to...

Is anybody else in the same boat? Have you had treatment? What was it like if you have? I’m not sure what to expect really, having diabetes and an eating disorder is not the dream combination, struggling to get through the day generally when it comes to food. It’s exhausting. I also struggle...

Even trying to write this is churning my stomach and yet it seems so little compared with the struggles of others. cw: BDD dieting, mentions of weight I have not been to clinic in three years. Because they weigh me there, and then the nurses tell me and they comment. I cannot handle it...

Hello, Since child I was slightly overweight and always had lack of confidence on my self. I was diagnosed in 2013 with type 1 and one of my symptoms was loosing weight ( around 14kg). I was doing everything as I should and my Hba1c was just perfect until I realise I was putting weight again...

Hi, I am going in to my final year of University studying Social Psycholgy at University of Ulster. I am starting to think of dissertation ideas & as I am Type 1 diabetic diagnosed 2 years I would like to do my dissertation on something I am genuinely interested about. I have been thinking of...

Hi, I was wondering if I could receive advice as to whether or not this is worth discussing with my GP and whether anyone else has been in a similar situation. :) For my whole life my BG has been within normal ranges, a bit on the low side (slightly below 4) in the mornings. My fasting and...

i have some type of EDNOS, where i binge heavily (sometimes up to 3 times a day) and occasionally purge and restrict my intake. while not specifically diabulimia, it still makes my blood sugars high and has landed me in the ER a few times. My therapist isn't "qualified" to talk about it, and my...
