    I havent told anyone about what im doing. I pretend to inject when i am around people, i insert the needle but dont actually administer any insulin. My family think I had too much alcohol over Christmas and thats how I ended up in hospital. Im was so embarrassed that I just agreed with them and...

    Thank you. The problem I have at the moment is that I know its dangerous and stupid but at the moment the thought of injecting and ‘Absorbing’ my binge calories outweighs this and wins all the time. Hopefully attending a clinic will change my thinking x

    Thank you. I hadn’t even heard of diabulimia before I joined here this evening. I have an appointment with a psychologist on 15th feb and DPN on 14th x

    Thats really helpful. Its comforting knowing you’re not alone. I find it embarrassing to talk to someone face to face about the problems I have with bingeing and injecting and I always play it down. I guess I feel stupid but knowing it affects a lot of people makes me feel slightly more assured...

    I dont really know a lot about the pumps to be honest. I’ve been in denial about the whole diabetes condition for a couple of years. I had an ignorance is bliss attitude! Silly, I know! I will certainly have a chat with my GP, it may be a good way forward x

    Thank you, I might discuss this with my GP at my next appointment. The idea of having no control is making me feel slightly anxious. Its definitely something to consider though x

    No I definitely need to hear it. Tough love an all that! I think its relief more than anything. I’ve never spoken to anyone or admitted I had missed injections. Its been going on for 3 years and theres only so many excuses you can make for ‘missed’ drs appts etc. I know I need to change my ways...

    Thank you for this, its nice to know I am not the only one who has struggled. I havent checked my sugars in about a week but i havent missed a lantus since ive been discharged so thats going well so far. Ive been trying to stay low carb as much as possible but its so difficult when im bingeing...

    Thank you. I do go to the gym already but I think its more to do with injecting to be honest. I know I am not overweight and I wear a UK size 10-12 clothes. My weight has never been an issue prior to my diagnosis but in my mind insulin = fat and this is where i am struggling. I am hoping that...
