[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2172112, member: 365308"] So sorry to hear of your distress and hope you can find peer support at least. There are diabulimia documentaries which may still be available on You Tube /i player. When I had an eating disorder with type 1, my type 1 did at least get me further up the queue for psychological health. I never abused insulin because I hadn't made the connection about the weight thing yet I had binge and vomit episodes and generally ran high bgs which my consultants had no idea about until I asked for help with my disordered thinking and bad habits. I now find that having a pump to quietly drip in the stuff and eating low carb makes the diabetes run along in the background far easier but I think getting some cognitive behavioural therapy to bed in new behaviours and challenge your negative thoughts about yourself would help and may be more readily available than other therapies. Please take some hope that you don't have to always feel like this. [/QUOTE]
