Hi @Awiiiiin

Sending you hugs, and it's good that you reached out to the forum. Rather than skipping insulin doses and ending up with high blood sugar and ketones and eventually DKA which is dangerous, maybe try low carb meals to lose weight.

There are organisations which you might find helpful such as https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/

Do you have a hospital team that you see for your diabetes? If so, I'd encourage you to contact them or your gp, to get some help or counselling.
 
I agree with @Hopeful34 The safest way to reduce insulin doses is to follow a low carb diet.
Reduction, rather than skipping doses should help.

Well done for posting.
 
I have tried everything it doesn't work
 
Hi,

This kind of practice will never work in your favour. The associated very high BGs can have a negative affect emotionally. Leading to possible self destructive behaviour?

Please contact your DSN or endo & get a referral for help.

Any changes regarding personal image should be done healthy.

Best wishes.
