Is there support here where ed people can talk?
I'm pretty isolated in my community due to lack of funds to get the help offered.
And a normal ed forum isn't helpful when they also don't have diabetes.
 
Hi @cdpm I know you've mentioned eating disorders before and I also know that they are surprisingly common so you are definitely not alone.

Eating Disorders and Diabetes

If you are living with diabetes and experiencing disordered eating or an eating disorder, you are not alone. Anyone living with diabetes can be at risk of developing an eating disorder. Eating disorders are more common in people with type 1 diabetes, when compared to their peers without type 1...
nedc.com.au

Given that so many people have diabetes and so many people have eating disorders I think you'll find eating disordered folk here as well as diabetic folk on any eating disorder forum you go to.

(There is an eating disorder subforum on the T1 forum but it's related to long term damage done to T1s who run high bgs by skipping insulin so not really relevant to your situation.)
 
If you weren't aware, my condition and others similar, non diabetic hypoglycaemia is mainly triggered by intolerance to food mainly carbs.
Intolerance to food, allergies and other dietary approach, is often discussed in many threads in many of the forums.
But I do get the request, because of how eating disorders can have an impact on your life.

Best wishes.
