How common is diabulimia?

Diabulimia is fairly common in people with Type 1 diabetes (T1D), though it can range in severity and be difficult to detect and diagnose.

Up to 40% of people assigned female at birth (AFAB) and 10% of people assigned male at birth (AMAB) with T1D aged 15 to 30 take less insulin than needed in order to lose weight. Research shows that people AMAB with Type 1 diabetes are more concerned about their weight than people AMAB who don’t have diabetes.
