[QUOTE="Actaeon70, post: 1246291, member: 101129"] I have had binge eating episodes for years. I have mentioned this to my diabetes team for four years, and only now are they actually providing me with any psychological help. (I'm also schizophrenic and have Asperger's, so that can make things more difficult). It's very early days yet to say how helpful it is. I saw a private counsellor for a few months a couple of years ago, and she was very helpful, but at £40 an hour I couldn't afford to keep seeing her long-term. Last year, when I saw my diabetes nurse, I told her that I was so sick of food and eating, and everything about it, that I wanted a PEG tube fitted so that I wouldn't be able to binge ever again. She was horrified and told me there were loads of options before that would even be considered. People think of me as a person who loves food, but in reality I hate it. [/QUOTE]
