[QUOTE="zand, post: 1070272, member: 85197"] I'm T2 not on insulin so it doesn't apply to me. Yes I became aware of it very many years ago on the TV program Casualty (when Charlie was young!) I think it's a scandal that there still isn't enough info out there. It's so very sad that someone would risk their life/sight/limbs through diabulimia. The relatives need help and support as do the sufferers themselves. The sufferers try to take control of their own body by starving it of the insulin it requires to live and thrive. The very sad thing is that the perception is that insulin makes them fat. Insulin is what keeps them alive and well, it's not the enemy. The only safe way to reduce insulin is to reduce carb intake so that less insulin is required. It is never ever a good thing to run high blood glucose levels in order to lose weight. A low carb diet and exercise are good plans to lose weight, insulin starvation is the worst possible thing you can do. To anyone who has ever considered doing this, please, please don't. The results are horrendous and heart-breaking. [/QUOTE]
