Hi everyone, im mols! :)
so im a type 1 diabetic since 2009, i have had a bit of a rocky roller coaster with the whole diabetes thing and im not going to lie i find it very hard to cope with but fortunately i have alot of friends and family around to support me, but i am writing this to inform everyone about my diabulimia.
So, i think to myself im not liking how im looking and the fact that after i was diagnosed i put on alot of weight and had to buy all new clothes and i didnt look as good and i didnt think boys would give me as much attention as they did. so i thought its the isulin thats doing this to me if i stop i will become skinny again and everything will be fine.. but i was wrong this was in 2009 and its now 2012 and i am still getting over diabulimia! anyway i stopped injectiong and i lost alot of weight and i felt absolutely great about myself i was skinny and getting the attention from boys i wanted.. however, i took it to the next step because i was having no isulin at all we all know that this is dangerous and can have some nasty concequences, as i found out.. i didnt plan on having to go into hospital or being put on a drip i just wanted to look good especially on the beach in jamaica! But i was wrong i was on a drip and in hospital for 2 months i was very ill have no evergy and looked anorexic (which i think is beautiful) but i was being asked by my teachers if anything was going on at home and things.. i started to have my insulin again but ive never had a full streak of it ive always wanted to miss a few in the hope that they would make me skinny again, i hated my 'diabetes body' as what i called it and up until this day i am still fighting against this horrible eating disorder and i can honestly say that i wouldnt wish this to happen to my worst enemy because the only person your fighting against is yourself and your the one thats loosing.
if you want to ask my any questions feel free to ask me! :)
Take care everyone, Lots of love Mols xxxxxxxx

Wow, I used to have this! I had no idea other people did this. I accitdently began Diabulimia. I guess I became overwhelmed and annoyed with carb counting and insulin doses that I began to eat whatever I wanted without counting any carbs or taking insulin, I guess you can say I pretended to not have diabetes, I had gone from 130 lbs to 97 lbs at 5'3" I looked horrible, I was skin and bones. When I finally realised why I was loosing so much weight and not gaining I just felt it was easier to eat whatever and loose weight without taking shots. I did cure myself, I relised I wanted to live a long life and not go blind and not have my limbs amputated because of my carelessness. its very hard to come out of but the feeling is worth it, no more depression, being tired all the time and now i can sleep at night because I used to think I wasnt going to make it in the morning. keep your head up guys! Not taking insulin...its just not worth it!

I definitely had struggles with eating disorders. When I was diagnosed with Type 1 at age 14, I felt like I had lost all semblance of "control" I had over my body. So, I developed bulimia and anorexia to gain that sense of control back over my body. I went for an entire year without eating anything- staying alive on beverages alone. Then I went for three years of eating and then using a spoon to get it back up within an hour. Eventually, I didn't even need to use my finger to get the food up- it was so reflexive.

I am, for the most part, recovered. It's been eight years since I've mistreated my body like that. I still don't eat often, but have overcome my struggle in that I eat when I'm hungry- don't when I'm not. I still hate the weight gain and swelling that comes along with insulin injections. There is always something. But, I try to keep my body strong and healthy so when I have my baby (I'm 5 months pregnant), she will have a beautiful and strong mom to look up to.

inside out~
I am recovereing from diabulimia as of this week and I know what you are going through! I have had this disease, along with depression, for almost 7 years off and on, and I still struggle with it. I would love to keep in touch and to try to work it out together. Counseling is great and I am going through it too. Be careful about some anti depression meds cause they can put on weight as well as actually add to the depression. Stay in touch!

Thank you for your support. I already feel better health wise but emotionally it's still hard. Everyday I want to go back to my old ways whenever I put on some clothing that's become too tight. I will keep reminding myself that it all takes time.
Thank you!
