    Abstaining from Pepsi Max during Diabetes Week to fundraise for DWED (Diabetics W/ Eating Disorders)

    Uhh...yeah, I know that I am not stupid! It's linked to my eating disorder behaviours and all I want to guzzle when sugars are high.

    Dangerous to be in hospital

    I arrived for an inpatient stay on an eating disorder unit only to find they had no needles to give my insulin. They put me on a tube feed with no short acting insulin at all, ended up close to DKA and waking up with sugars off the scale, and on top of that was denied any extra water as that was...

    Boring!

    I think you are overlooking the important factor that being diabetic can have a huge emotional impact and isn't just a fact of medical control or management.

    The type 1 diabetes and eating disorder subforum will be relaunching in here this month and I woiud suggest perhaps you pop in there and start a thread as may be easier to talk to those that have experienced similar kinds of issues :). I am so sorry you are hurting so much right.Your body must...

    Article I wrote about Diabulimia up on themightysite.com

    Just thought I'd share this here in case anyone was interested in reading :shy::nailbiting:. I previously have had it up on www.dwed.org.uk but it's been republished by The Mighty which I am quite proud of. :) What You Should Know Before You Make Assumptions About Diabulimia *hides* :bag:

    Sure-T infusion sets - ouch!

    Hey thanks @Juicyj, they were basically recommended to me as although I've had more success using the silhouette and most recently mio30 cannula sets so far, I'm still getting quite bruised and sore & stomach is the only area I've been told I can use. I had a lot of bent cannula issues with the...

    Sure-T infusion sets - ouch!

    All I can say is never again! Found these so very painful, like it was tearing up my skin every time I moved. Had them suggested to me as I am quite lean and have not much tissue to use for cannula insertion, but these felt far worse than anything else I've tried so I am going back to the...

    Novorapid insulin vials now in bigger boxes - why?

    I noticed this! Just means they take up more space in the **** fridge unless you take them all out of the packaging, grr!

    Strange Medtronic delivery!

    Hey everyone! Bit of a weird situation. Received order today from Medtronic - usual supplies of cannula's and syringes. Signed for it and did think there was a fair few boxes but didn't think anything more of it. Anyway, turns out that along with what i ordered they have sent me a whole new...

    Diabetes in Films and on TV

    Waterloo Road had an episode featuring a character with diabetes and an eating disorder who wasn't taking her insulin. Hollyoaks had Dan a few years back as a t1, and now Jason. Stacey in the Babysitters Club haha! In the film she goes hiking with her new bf and doesn't tell him she's diabetic...

    Diabulimia

    I haven't read through this whole topic yet, but I understand. I'd really urge anyone out there struggling with the same to seek support and take a look at www.dwed.org.uk (diabetics with eating disorders).
