Diabulimia

[MarkhamP]

I am a film student and have been a type 1 diabetic for 7 years now. I wanted to combine the two and remembered an article that I read a few years ago about diabulimia and have decided to research into the subject for a documentary. The documentary is for a university assignment and the purpose of it would be to raise awareness of diabulimia and how it effects the lives of those living with diabetes. It would be handled in a very sensitive and serious matter and at the moment it is in the research stage so I just wanted to get more of an insight into diabulimia from the position of people who have experiences with it. It would be extremely helpful if anyone would be willing to tell me their story or even answer some questions about their experiences with diabulimia. Any information that anyone can give me would be extremely helpful.

As this is a sensitive subject I hope not to offend anyone and greatly appreciate any input which is given!

why not contact DWED? It is a difficult subject and I think you need to appreciate that people who are involved may be vulnerable.
