CONT

Diabulimia is an eating disorder in which someone with Type 1 diabetes withholds insulin to lose weight. ... People with diabulimia may have other disordered eating behaviors, like purging. Or they may only limit insulin dosages and otherwise have healthy eating patterns. ... Diabulimia is also known as an "eating disorder in diabetes mellitus type 1 (ED-DMT1)."

OBS

diabulimia: The name "diabulimia" is misleading. Not all people who have it binge eat or purge—the defining features of bulimia nervosa. Despite this, people widely use the term "diabulimia" to describe limiting insulin to lose weight.
