Thank you for the comment. Yes that's why reason for my hospitalisation was "suspected" eating disorder.
@asortafairytale says indicator for eating disorder is not weight but whether the person is manipulating insulin or not. Then can people who choose to be on low carb /low insulin to manage good BS level be considered as manipulating insulin level. I think yes or no... ?
In my mind I'm very sure I don't have an eating disorder. I have diabetes and I'm just trying to manage diabetes the best I can in an easiest possible way for me. I don't care much about my body image (too old...). I like eating and enjoy eating, but I eat no obvious carbs (bead pasta rice potatoes etc). I eat lots of vegetables, fish meat eggs etc. I exercise daily to keep fit. I will make sure to keep my weight within normal.
I think the underlying issue for me is NHS's view that low carb diet is unsafe to type 1s, which I don't agree. I had to agree to eat carbs to get discharged. I don't know what the psychiatrist's recommendation would have been if I had told him I would like to manage my diabetes with low carb diet. My trust was completely gone by then and I was desperate to go home.
I personally think low carb diet is just a diet and should be treated same way as vegetarian diet. No one would force vegetarians to eat meat. My thinking on nutrition is that as long as we take necessary amount of calories it doesn't matter so much which energy source it comes from.
I am based in uk. I'm quite certain they followed their rules. I remember DN saying documenting our conversation and typing up. I just so wish they accept low carb as one of the ways to manage type1s.
