A Mini-Course on Eating Disorders in Type 1 Diabetes

[@cindyhoomalu1566]

This was very informative! My endocrinologist says that I am non-compliant because I stopped insulin completely to lose weight 3ish years ago. I knew it was dangerous, but I was also slightly suicidal, more that I just didn’t care because I had gone through some trauma. I’m not completely over the trauma, but I do want to live now. Starting back on insulin I gained 20 pounds in a few weeks and I just can’t. I’ve tried several times, but my brain just can’t get past this instant weight gain and I don’t believe it’s not permanent. I still do not want to gain more than 10 pounds. Also I can’t afford new clothes. This puts me in a larger size than I am now, but not large enough to wear my clothes from when I was a good diabetic and 60 pounds heavier. I don’t know what to do. Is plastic surgery an option? I can’t afford new clothes, so I’m pretty sure I can’t afford elective surgery….
