Diabulimia is an eating disorder where one purposefully manipulates or withholds insulin in order to lose weight. You'll also see the term 'ED-DMT1' around our site, it stands for Eating Disorder-Diabetes Mellitus Type 1; it refers to any Type 1 Diabetic that also suffers from an eating disorder. Research suggests that over 30 percent of diabetic women between the ages of 15 and 30 engage in insulin omission to some degree. Studies show that Type 1 diabetics are two and a half times more likely to develop an eating disorder than other women.
