Diabulimia (ED-DMTI or Eating Disorder-Diabetes Mellitus Type I) is an eating disorder of a person diagnosed with diabetes, usually, Type I. The patient restricts taking insulin to lose weight. Diabetic patients are usually at high risk of developing diabulimia because of the constant focus on food. They always monitor food types, packaging labels, their blood glucose control methods, and their numbers. Because of the pressures of their ailment, diabetics are prone to diabulimia.
A diabetic can suffer from ED-DMTI at any time after the diagnosis and at any age as well. There are times when this disorder starts with a diabetes burnout or issues about body image. Treating individuals with ED-DMTI proves difficult because there are many patients who drop out of the treatment program. Regimens should address the eating disorder and diabetes at the same time.
A woman named Zohra Allana has been diagnosed with Type I diabetes has spoken out recently about her diabulimia. She did not take insulin deliberately do that she could lose weight. Unfortunately, the young lady of 25 years and hails from London is not the only patient suffering from diabulimia. Many diabetic patients ages 15 – 30 years succumb to this disorder. They are too anxious about gaining weight that they do not take their insulin shots to lose their extra pounds.
Zohra did what any diabetic patient did to manage her condition. She ate healthily, injected, and coped. Her ED-DMTI started when she noticed she was putting on weight because of the insulin. Before the holidays started last year (2018) in Romania, Zohra was not taking her insulin as often as she should. Then, her condition became worse. She became too weak to keep walking alongside her friends. She also became incontinent. Zohra’s friends wanted to admit her to a hospital because of what was happening.
A SLaM (South London and Maudsley) consultant named Professor Janet Treasure said that there are more cases of ED-DMTI occurring over time because there aren’t enough facilities to aid in its treatment.
Because of her physical deterioration, Zohra learned her lesson. She doesn’t get anxious about her weight and she doesn’t abstain from taking her insulin anymore. Zohra learned how important it is to live life to the fullest.
