[QUOTE="zand, post: 1070329, member: 85197"] Well done for raising this issue Sarah. This is a cause that is close to my heart. Whilst I don't have T1, I have suffered from a negative body image for most of my life and well understand the emotional affects of that. I can empathise even though I have never been down that route myself as I am not T1. Counselling is absolutely necessary to get to the root of the cause of the diabulimia as with any other form of eating disorder. I can't help thinking that with the way the media keeps demonizing fat T2s the issue of T1 diabulimia is only going to get worse. If you carry a few extra pounds nowadays it seems it's OK to be vilified. It's not. Please tell your friends they are beautiful, they sound as if they are all young and that is beautiful in itself. They need to love and nourish their bodies not punish themselves in this way. They are worth so much more than being written off as bad diabetics. I hope each and every one of your friends will get the help they need to fully recover from this. [/QUOTE]
