Has anyone else experienced this? I have just discovered this is a real problem I am facing and I am really struggling.

Growing up as a wrestler and competitor in the world of weight conscious athletes, years later, I realized that I had not only been struggling with Diabetes, but also, Diabulimia.

It is a very serious issue and there are others out there going through what you are going through! Your health is much more important than your appearance. The declination of your health via high blood sugars that lead to losing weight also lead to losing your mental capacity...

Look into getting involved in sport or training to attain healthfulness. It's not about how you look but how you feel! Training will make you much happier and the results will be positive. Strong is the new "skinny"!

I address Diabulimia in my blog... You can find it at www.FightingType1.com

Feel free to reach out to me and we can talk more! Remember, you're not alone in your fight!

Sweatheart - I've read 4 or 5 different definitions of diabulemia. Which one are you going by?

Hi there I also have diabulimia and deal with the every day struggle though unfortunately not very well. I barely take an insulin at all most days none and am stuck in this virtuous cycle that I can see no end too. I'd love to talk to you and maybe support each other through this extremely difficult and life
gripping disease.
