So, here is a quick update since I have not been on here for awhile.
A few weeks ago, everything got out of control after seeing my endocrinologist. After seeing my blood sugar and pump readings, I was put into the hospital where I spent the last 13 days. I was officially diagnosed with diabulimia.
I have a very long road ahead of me, but I have some amazing people in my life to help me get better. I'm really scared...and pissed off. My insurance denied residential eating disorder treatment for me, which is where I really need to go to. I'm starting a different eating disorder program tomorrow, so hopefully it will go well.
I totally know where you’re coming from. I’ve spent the better part of my diabetic life in and out of hospitals because of diabulimia. It’s a hard road - my insurance also denied treatment centers for eating disorders. I spent some time as an inpatient in the psychward at a local hospital after several years of other treatments and my parents were ‘at the end of their ropes’ so to speak. My husband (boyfriend at the time) was the one who got me through. I still struggle, but it’s nothing like what it was. I have a beautiful daughter, now, and that’s really gotten me where I am today.
::hug:: it’ll be okay, sweetie. Just take one day at a time.
