[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2047537, member: 53162"] Sorry to hear about your kidney issues [USER=78361]@Becca6510[/USER] - unfortunately Diabulimia is a hidden condition and as you feel no pain you don't realise what's really going on, yet the damage caused can be catastrophic and only realised later in life. There is so much pressure on young folk to look a certain way, if only we could take social media and media in general out of the equation then we could all be happy in our own skin and not feel pressured to act/look a certain way. What's hard about this condition is that many have it and live in denial about what damage is being caused, I believe it would help those caught up in it to learn from those who've come through it and what impact it's had on their life, so talking about it is so important. The good news is that with good and stable control the complications can be suspended and often reversed so please don't beat yourself up over what happened in the past, concentrate on keeping your control as good as you can, lean on your diabetes team more, getting your HbA1c down and controlled is a good plan to help keep you focused. Look up Dr Berstein, he's type 1, in his 80's and has reversed his complications, his approach may seem extreme to many however it's worked well for him and he's living well for it. Any idea why it's crept up and are there are any changes you can make to help change things ? [/QUOTE]
