Hi Super_sally, welcome, Acknowledging a problem is the best way to start tackling it, so kudos to you, how are you?

Hello. I have a see food, eat it issue. Seems I just cannot stop myself eating if it is there. This is way not good for D and for weight control, nor good for feeling good about myself. Somehow I have to get out of this rut and get back to eating way better.

It is made worse by travelling for work and the eating out involved, which has been often lately and I'm up by 3 kg. :(. I am probably LADA and honeymooning. So my blood sugars are not terribly out of range (and I do cover highs with insulin, when I detect them).

I want to get back on low carb and controlled eating. I guess acknowledging the serious nature of this problem is a good first step.

Hey asmith, there is also the Diabulimia helpline in the US and DWED - Diabetics with eating Disorders here in the UK for specific eating disorders support, There is a tonne of info on the DWED web page, which can be printed and given to your healthcare professionals. As for starting a group, I'm not sure, perhaps put an advert/flyer for T1's at the local Drs surgery/endo's clinic, asking if they'd be interested in a support group?

asmith- Alison is right! The available resources are slowly growing. Did you know that recent studies show that over 30% of T1D women are suffering from this? It's amazing to me that such a large population of diabetics struggle with this and yet it's still seemingly ignored but the Health Care system ( dont even get me started on insurance!) I am the Founder of We Are Diabetes www.wearediabetes.org and we have tons of resources to help guide those who are suffering to finding recovery. Please let me know if there is anything I can personally help you with!

Hi asmith I'm Alison, I'm a year recovered. I got help from an endo, a therapist and the DWED group. Do you have Facebook? We have a fairly active support network on there as well the main open group is diabulimia awareness and it helped save me. Recovery is possible. One step at a time, a little bit each day.

How do you all overcome this? I haven't met one person with this "Diabulmia" and its hard to try and "fix it" alone. I am trying to get our locl base (I live on an Air Force Base - husband serves) and I am trying to get them to at least start a type 1 diabetic support group... I have never been in one. I was just wondering how everyone else gets help???

Hi Teri I am so dreadfully sorry that you lost your daughter to this disorder, I want to welcome you and let you know that we're working damn hard to get this recognised and to get a treatment plan in place so that no-one else has to go through what you and your family have had to endure. Your support is invauable x
