💬 "I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 12 years old. I was losing lots of weight, became very skinny, and I seemed to constantly be thirsty and needing the loo.

"In hindsight, I didn’t really accept my diagnosis from the beginning and over the years my diabetes caused me to have an unhealthy relationship with food. I started university in September 2019, which seemed to be a trigger for me. I felt ugly, overweight and undesirable compared to the other girls, who I perceived to be better than me – both physically and intellectually.

"At this point I was undereating and taking laxatives to keep the weight off. It was in November 2020 that I received a diagnosis of diabulimia. I started to have therapy, which helped me begin to accept my diabetes and encouraged me to look after myself better.

"Understanding the realities of what I was doing to my health and seeing how much my family were worrying about me was the wakeup call I needed. I urge anyone struggling with diabulimia, or any eating disorder for that matter, to be brave and seek help. It will be worth it."

💙 Thank you so much Imogen for bravely sharing your experiences of and diabulimia for National Storytelling Week. We'll be sharing more throughout the week, so keep your eyes peeled!
