[QUOTE="Liz35, post: 1403532, member: 241836"] Hiya Sorry to hear you're feeling this. I'm a type 1 who has overcome diabulimia... Unfortunately with my story the only thing that snapped me out if it was I thought I had developed eye complications.... Thankfully my condition had turned out to be something totally different to which I'm fine now. The fear and regret I had when I thought I'd lose my vision scared me into gaining the perspective I have now... I had been skipping injections, constantly weighing myself, skipping appointments, avoiding getting my hba1cs done.i was constantly checking for ketones.... I never entered ketoacidosis but I felt so unwell. I still have the body issues.... So I'm now channelling it into being the "ideal diabetic". It's hard but I feel good. By ideal diabetic i mean I'm controlling my sugars, eating three decent meals..... Halving the carbs I was eating but doubling my veg and having snacks such as wheat crackers. It tastes awful at first but you will feel great and can do it. Insulin is a fat storer.... It will take us double what it will take non diabetics and bodies can be unforgiving.... I am doing it now.... You can also do it!! There are times I still wonder well if I didnt take insulin I would lose weight in weeks and go back on before it troubles me..... Truth is complications can come on suddenly and the few weeks could be the difference between complications in our 40s as opposed to later in life. Try talk some sense into yourself in a way.... It's only thing works for me. I hope I helped in some way. You're not alone. [/QUOTE]
