Things can get difficult to handle when having Type One Diabetes. Some things that can cause Diabulimia are because of those struggles, such as...
How it develops
- Needing to watch the patients weight when visiting the clinic.
- Being put onto diets that can make the patient feel guilt with weight gain.
- Having trouble sticking in a certain weight zone.
- Feeling shame over how the patient manages Diabetes.
Stories from someone with Diabulimia
A patient went from 132 pounds to 110 pounds because of her DM (otherwise known as Sugar Diabetes, which is both Diabetic types 1 and 2, though, this will only effect Diabetics with type one.) She began to reject her insulin while her father had been criticizing her weight, saying "You will become obese" claiming that she had been eating too much.
She quickly became conscious of her weight, keeping a scale in her room in order to track her weight. And she began to reject her insulin instead of doing exercise and dieting.
