A frightening blog. It makes me change my mind on the diabetes as an eating disorder issue. As a T1 who was diagnosed as a child, food and eating always had a negative connotation. That mindset is still in my head. I don’t mind it being there. It has made me disciplined. Where food had once been sacred, it became poison. As a child I would overeat. It had to do with burning keytones. I always felt hunger and thirst. This still is present. I also had poor education and was resistant to blood sticks. As an adult I don’t do those things anymore. Diabetes is such a complicated disease. I can’t imagine adding bulimia/anorexia or refusal of insulin into the mix.
