Do You Suffer With Diabulimia?

Generally happy.

It chops and changes. Sometimes I feel like I like my body but at times I am very displeased with it and would like to change it.

I hate my body and weight most of the time.

Fairly positive. I do what I can to avoid all of these i.e I stay well and take my insulin.

It scares me, but I try and not think about it. I try to take insulin as often as I can manage to avoid these things.

I feel numb. I know deep down what I am doing is wrong and I will end up blind but I cannot handle gaining weight.

I would never go without insulin!

I only tend to miss the odd shot or take slightly less than I should.

Anything between a day and a week. I've become used to it now.

No, I work on maintaining my weight. I do not need to lose any weight and if I do I would go about it in a healthy manner.

Not a vast amount, perhaps a small amount.

Yes, I have.

No, my family know I take care of myself.

I've had the odd comment. Nobody really suspects I am doing anything wrong.

Yes, many of my loved ones have expressed deep concern about my diabetes control or/and my weight.

No, I follow a healthy lifestyle. Not too much, not too little is my motto.

Sometimes. I try not to but often I cannot control myself.

Yes, often. I feel out of control and scare myself.

I have pretty much come to terms with it and try to do everything I can to keep myself in tip top condition.

I go through stages of acceptance and anger. Sometimes I wish I could just ignore it and it would go away.

I can't seem to come to terms with it. I'm terrified of injecting insulin, it just makes me gain weight and I can't seem to accept that I'm any 'different' from anybody else.
