[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2558967, member: 372717"] Hi [USER=562959]@Jason71[/USER] and welcome to the forums. As [USER=101136]@Jaylee[/USER] said, I think it would be really good for you to talk to your diabetic team about this. My understanding of eating disorders (from a family member who had one ten years ago) is that it's pretty common for one's mental attitude towards food to be disordered ie you aren't hungry when you should be, and for sufferers' thoughts about food to be not entirely rational. So you can't really trust your appetite until you've got back to a normal weight and eating pattern. Having said that, we can't diagnose here and I'm not clear whether you have an eating disorder or whether your hypo treatment is messing with your appetite (or both or something else). So my first thought here is ... [B]have you talked to your diabetic clinic.?[/B] Lantus can be taken at any time of day (I split mine because I find that I very occasionally have absorption issues and splitting it means I don't have to worry about lantus lows.) You sound like you may have severe hypo anxiety though?? Again, you need to talk to your clinic. (Cgms can help massively with this though hopefully you already have one) Lots of virtual hugs.
