Message: <blockquote data-quote="curly" data-source="post: 1569361" data-attributes="member: 12306">Thank-you so much to everyone - I never expected to get so many responses, let alone so quickly.  I really needed that tonight. Your thoughts will help me to pick myself up again tomorrow and do better. If you can all cope, than so can I. Just need to get into a better place with it.[USER=345386]@DCUKMod[/USER]  - I was diagnosed just over 10 years ago, so after the ED.  But, I had the ED pretty much under control until the months leading up to diagnosis - was bingeing and purging perhaps 2 days a month on a much smaller scale and that was manageable.  Went a bit haywire again in the months before diagnosis, which makes sense because I wasn't getting any fuel into my cells. Then for some reason was much better in the first couple of months with insulin, maybe because I was so scared or because the 2 Novomix per day made it so hard to control levels.  The minute I was trusted with the basal/bolus and told I could eat whatever I wanted and adjust my own insulin it was like the demon descended.  I actually remember stopping at Sainsbury's on the way home from the hospital and bingeing on anything I could get my hands on like I'd never eaten in my life before. That was just under 10 years ago and I've had better periods and worse periods, but never anywhere near recovered with it.</blockquote>
