[QUOTE="CondorX, post: 2081458, member: 505475"] I think the storyline was a tad confused for most - I read between the lines that the girl was actually using her insulin to self harm and they seemed to muddle up the eating issues with deliberate overdosing on insulin. I have had diabetic patients deliberately overdose as suicide attempts, but never to "lose weight", although i understand that there is a "black market" for metformin for this reason.......... Casualty is really not medically accurate as far as A&E goes - just imagine an A&E Consultant (Mrs B) tottering around in high heels with floaty white blouses and similar wholly inappropriate attire.........never seen it happen in near 40 years of medical practice :) [/QUOTE]
