Diabulimia, although not officially a medically recognised term, is thought to impact up to 30% of people with Type 1 Diabetes. So, what is Diabulimia? ‘Diabulimia’ refers to a serious eating disorder whereby an individual with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) deliberately restricts insulin for the purpose of weight loss. T1D is a chronic autoimmune disease whereby your immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas. People with T1D therefore need to inject synthetic insulin in order to manage their blood glucose levels. Taking smaller-than-needed doses of insulin, or no insulin at all, can lead to severe health consequences, such as diabetes-related ketoacidosis (DKA) and diabetes complications. Diabetes UK estimates that up to 30% of people with T1D have an eating disorder. As such, eating disorders are twice as common in people with Type 1 Diabetes than people without the condition. The serious physical and emotional consequences of insulin restriction means that it's vital individuals receive specialist support that recognises the complexities of living with Diabetes whilst experiencing an eating disorder. You can learn more about Orri's approach to Diabulimia by listening to Hannah Hickinbotham's episode of Full of Beans with Orri's Consultant Psychiatrist, Louisa Beckford, and our Head of Dietetics, Paula Tait.

Eating disorder treatment for cancer patients can have unique challenges related to nutritional needs and body transformations. Chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy can cause side effects that disrupt an individual's relationship with food. These side effects include appetite suppression, changes in taste and smell, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal issues, diarrhea, and pain. Identifying the early signs of disordered eating becomes difficult due to these treatment-related side effects. Cancer treatments can lead to a sense of disconnection from one's body. Patients feel their bodies let them down. Weight loss during cancer treatment can lead to fears related to food, impacting self-esteem and body image struggles. A cancer diagnosis can exacerbate underlying disordered eating patterns or serve as a trigger. Dani's Garden can help you and your loved one work through these struggles and triggers.

August is Gastroparesis Awareness Month. Gastroparesis, also called delayed gastric emptying, is a motility disorder. Gastrointestinal motility is the movement of food through the digestive system. Problems with this process are known as dysmotility. Gastroparesis occurs when the stomach slows down or stops working, causing food to remain in the stomach for longer. Symptoms of gastroparesis include: 🔵Nausea 🔵Vomiting 🔵Abdominal pain 🔵Bloating 🔵Belching 🔵Weight loss 🔵Feeling full at the beginning of a meal 🔵Feeling full long after a meal Symptoms of gastroparesis can range from mild to severe and can affect people of any body weight. Gastroparesis is more common in people with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD). It is often managed with dietary changes, medications, and other treatments. Do you have gastroparesis? What has helped your symptoms?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder that affects many of us! According to the Canadian Society of Intestinal Research, Canadians have a 30% lifetime risk of developing IBS ⚠️ While IBS tends to arise more frequently in women in most Western nations, it can also affect men and children of all ages. Did you know that while Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) are different, they have common symptoms that can make a true diagnosis difficult without a colonoscopy? IBS affects the functioning of the large intestine but does not change the bowel tissue. IBS symptoms can be commonly controlled through lifestyle, diet, and stress reduction and in more severe cases, medication and counseling. IBD is an umbrella term used to describe disorders that cause the chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, colon, or rectum. Common types of IBD include Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The symptoms of IBD can range from mild to debilitating and even life-threatening so IBD needs to be carefully managed. With symptoms of these two conditions appearing similar, Fecal Calprotectin (FCAL) testing can provide an accurate diagnosis in many patients with chronic symptoms without the need for other diagnostic procedures. Your health practitioner can help determine your risk of developing IBS or IBD and determine whether an FCAL test would be beneficial. #IBSAwareness #GutHealth

These findings suggest that up to 25% of young females with type 1 diabetes may develop significant eating disturbances. The study aimed to evaluate the progression of disordered eating habits and their impact on glycemic control and microvascular complications over time. Better methods of detection and treatment which are acceptable to patients are required. #AN #diabetes #type1
