[QUOTE="jacqfromdwed, post: 1514781, member: 311510"] [USER=371071]@michita[/USER] also just for everyone else's reference. A diabetes specialist CAN NOT diagnose you with an clinically defined eating disorder without specialist input, they can recommend that you see a psychologist/ psychiatrist who CAN diagnose you but in the same way a clinical psyc would be completely out of their depth talking about lipid profiles or protein in the urine so goes for diabetes specialists and mental health conditions. If you are based in the UK and would like to complain DWED can help you with that. Its a precarious situation, on the one hand we desperately want diabetes specialists to be aware of Eating Disorders we simultaneously are horrified with this sort of behaviour. Definitely we could reach out to your old unit and let them know they've been recmmended for training. I had a much less stressful but similar situation with a D consultant not too long ago where she completely berrated me for using low carb because I had a history of EDs, I explained to her yes I did and that ed involved me binging on high carb food so who was she to tell me what was safe for my mental health. Also I heard from a friend who was at a conference recently that some of the dsn's there would report parents of CWD to social services if they utilised a Low carb approach to diabetes management. More awareness all round I think. Sorry this happened to you it sounds horrendous [/QUOTE]
