How do I take care of myself if I have diabulimia?

It can be uncomfortable and scary, but it’s important to tell a loved one and/or your healthcare provider if you have diabulimia.

If you have already been diagnosed with diabulimia, there are some things you can do to manage your condition and stay committed to recovery, including:

• Taking your prescribed insulin doses regularly.
• If you take other prescribed medication, be sure to take it regularly and do not miss doses.
• If you are participating in talk therapy to treat your diabulimia, be sure to see your therapist regularly.
• Don’t abuse alcohol or drugs.
• Reach out to family and friends for support.
• Consider joining a support group for people who have diabetes and/or diabulimia.
• See your healthcare provider regularly.
