About Me:
 
DWED (Diabetics with Eating Disorders) is a registered charity. Recent research shows that not only are female* type one diabetics at twice the risk of developing anorexia or bulimia, as many as 40% of 15 -- 30 year olds regularly manipulate or omit insulin in order to lose weight. This practice can have devastating consequences such as organ failure, infertility, blindness and in the worst cases, death. Despite the horrendous complications and staggering prevalence deliberate insulin manipulation/ omission (or diabulimia as the press have named it) is not diagnosable and there are no current guidelines for the NHS on how to deal with the issue.

*Although less common it can also be found in type 1 males.

THANK YOU for this site!
I am a type 1 Diabetic and I developed Anorexia in 2004 accompanied with manipulating my insulin and I still do it. It's a comfort knowing that people take action and that there is support. I hope tht anyone with this condition finds the strengtht to overcome this - life is more important than being skinny <3
