[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2276288, member: 345386"] Torrianna - Apologies for taking so long to respond. I'm sorry you've had a new diagnosis to add the the issues you have been living with for a very long time. Whilst I am not T1, I am someone who has recovered from their anorexia, which was at it's peak some years ago, and took me close to death. When I was diagnosed T2 myself, I was terrified I would revisit my old, very harmful eating habits. I'm pleased to say that although there were times when I was tempted, I managed to avoid redeveloping those behaviours. I don't really know how or why, except that when the going was tough (and everyone has periods like that - ED or not), I just took small steps and only planned forward to the next meal, next day or whatever, the repeated. I'm sure your DSN will explain a lot of "stuff" to you, but I just also wanted to say that within most Diabetes Clinics/Centres, the have clinical psychologists working with people living with diabetes every day. I'm sure that gives them a specific edge iin understanding the additional challenges diabetes throws our way. You seem to be proactively looking for the help you need, and it's important you remain your own greatest health advocate. Nobody cares more about our health than we do ourselves. This forum is populated by people living with diabetes, and there are a number who either are or have lived with eating disorders alongside. Some are just a bit quiet about it, which clearly is a valid choice. However, please do stick around, and please participate in the forum. There's a lot here for you and thousands and thousands, if not millions of collective experience. I can't think of many times when a member has posed a question, or asked for assistance in any given area or topic, and help/support hasn't been on offer. Good luck with it all. It's a steep and fast learning curve, but you'll get there, I'm sure. [/QUOTE]
