Hi Curly,Hi - just saw the programme on diabulimia on iplayer. Really upsetting. I don't have diabulimia, but I do have 'standard' bulimia together with type 1 and have spent literally the whole weekend bingeing and purging. Can't seem to get a grip on it. Not really had more than a couple of months healthy for the last 14 years. Feeling at breaking point - no energy, becoming overweight, mental health in the gutter, only just maintaining normal life. Always take my insulin and take extra to compensate for binges...but, still pretty impossible to get good control with the amount and type of food I am eating on a regular basis. No point getting 'proper help' - been there, done that, makes no difference. Need to get myself out of this. Really think it's nothing more than a habit, but for some reason can't break it. Hope I can use the forum as part of getting through it. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your problem, it's made me feel as if I'm not the only one.
I am going through exactly what you're going through and I understand how difficult it is. I had bulimia non purging since 12 years old and then at 21 got T1, have been living the nightmare cycle of binge and restrict ever since and of course the lack of sugar control that comes with frequent binges is so mentally and physically draining, I just feel it's so hard to cope.
I think you are right when you say only the answer can come from us.
its just nice to talk to someone who's going through the same thing as me as I feel so isolated.
Take care,
Lucy
