[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1544411, member: 32394"] What is making you scared of eating [USER=358175]@kaylz91[/USER] , is it the impact on your blood sugar? Are you using a CGM or libre? It might be wise to give that a break if it's contributing to your fear of eating. Do you know what's got your hba1c incredibly low? Are you having hypos? Do you have good hypo awareness? In terms of increase in risk of complications, an increase in hba1c from 30 to 40 or 50 translates to virtually nil increase in risk of complications. Would you consider seeing a psychiatrist privately if there is going to be a long waiting list to see one on the NHS? Dr Leanne Hayward is a psychiatrist who has type 1 diabetes and experience in treating people with eating disorders. I don't know contact details, but she has a Twitter account - [URL]https://mobile.twitter.com/DrLMHayward[/URL] I believe she may be taking on private patients with type 1. [/QUOTE]
