[QUOTE="michita, post: 1515018, member: 371071"] [USER=311510]@jacqfromdwed[/USER] Thank you for the comment. Yes that's why reason for my hospitalisation was "suspected" eating disorder. [USER=89295]@asortafairytale[/USER] says indicator for eating disorder is not weight but whether the person is manipulating insulin or not. Then can people who choose to be on low carb /low insulin to manage good BS level be considered as manipulating insulin level. I think yes or no... ? In my mind I'm very sure I don't have an eating disorder. I have diabetes and I'm just trying to manage diabetes the best I can in an easiest possible way for me. I don't care much about my body image (too old...). I like eating and enjoy eating, but I eat no obvious carbs (bead pasta rice potatoes etc). I eat lots of vegetables, fish meat eggs etc. I exercise daily to keep fit. I will make sure to keep my weight within normal. I think the underlying issue for me is NHS's view that low carb diet is unsafe to type 1s, which I don't agree. I had to agree to eat carbs to get discharged. I don't know what the psychiatrist's recommendation would have been if I had told him I would like to manage my diabetes with low carb diet. My trust was completely gone by then and I was desperate to go home. I personally think low carb diet is just a diet and should be treated same way as vegetarian diet.
