Diabulimia...A New Form of Weight Loss?
Thursday, July 5, 2007
Email PageIt’s hard enough for a young girl to deal with all the work that needs to be done to manage her Type 1 Diabetes, which will be with her for the rest of her life, but now she has to succumb to the pressure of being the thin stereotype.
Type 1 Diabetes, where the body destroys its own insulin making cells, requires the individual to take insulin for survival...yes survival. Even though skipping your insulin shots can cause some weight loss, it can also raise the blood sugar to dangerously high levels, thus providing horrible side effects to one's body.
Please, please, please let the poor girls just live a healthy and happy life and enough with being “skinny.” Healthy is the new “skinny”!
