A new type of "eating" disorder has surfaced recently, one that only strikes people with type 1 diabetes, many of whom are young women. Sometimes referred to as "diabulimia," this condition occurs when type 1 individuals skip or restrict their required insulin doses in order to lose weight. While not a recognized medical condition, "diabulimia" and its associated behaviors can have both devastating and permanent effects on the body. GP7FQEN84QU5
