'Diabulimia' is the media term coined to describe purposefully manipulating or withholding insulin in order to lose weight. Diabulimia Helpline is the worlds first non profit organization dedicated to the recognition and prevention of this lethal disease! Studies show that Type 1 diabetics are two and a half times more likely to develop an eating disorder than other women. And Research suggests that over 40 percent of diabetic women between the ages of 15 and 30 manipulate or omit their insulin in order to lose weight. Diabetes and eating disorders are both complex, dangerous diseases when they occur separately; when the conditions exist in the same person, the results can be devastating.

The short term consequences start with Severe Dehydration, muscle loss, Diabetic Ketoacidosis and quickly escalate to high cholesterol, Bacterial Skin Infections, Yeast Infections, Menstrual Disruption and staph infections.
Long term, the consequences become Retinopathy, Neuropathy, Gastroparesis, Nephropathy, Peripheral Arterial Disease, Atherosclerosis, a fattening of the arterial walls, Steatohepatitis, a type of liver disease, Stroke, and even death.

The medical, psychological, and personal consequences of this disease grow every day and are never ending. But like so many addictions out there, and understand that an eating disorder IS an addiction; there is life on the other side. Being here means you're ready to take the first step to find that other side. Welcome, it's time for your real life to begin.

All my love,
Erin M. Akers, CEO
