[QUOTE="Lucypieee, post: 421781, member: 49843"] I wrote a blog post about my struggle with Diabulimia in June; lucypieee.wordpress.com/2013/06/10/unrecognised-but-oh-so-real It's an on-going struggle, but since I started taking my insulin, testing, eating well and exercising, I've actually lost weight and I don't feel run down and like I have no energy as I did when my BG was running constantly high. I developed Maculopathy in both eyes because of how I neglected my body and I've had laser treatment for it, however, the situation has since reversed and the damage done to my eyes is gone. Despite complications, it's NEVER too late to turn it around. You've done the brave thing and sought advice and help, I found taking everything one day at a time worked well for me. Try setting yourself goals and write down every single injection you do throughout the day. I've since moved onto insulin pump therapy, which also helped, when I decided I wanted to try it, I knew my consultant wouldn't consider me unless I actually tried to take care of myself (NICE criteria meant you need to take at least 4 injections and blood tests a day to show you've tried to maintain control), I started having hypos because I was on too much insulin. I had to remember to rotate my sites and bloodtest. But I did it, because I had a goal at the end. I hope you get through this, it's an awful thing to suffer through and it's a daily struggle doing what you know you should do. Lucy x Sent from Diabetes.co.uk Forum App [/QUOTE]
