Is there a link between eating disorder and diabetes?
Posted in Definition on 29. Apr, 2010
Yikes…Four ladies I know have been diagnosed with diabetes over the last year. Two of them have had either anorexia or bulemia since they were teens. Can one cause the other?
Not sure but I would’nt single it out.
Anorexia and bulimia is two different disorders even though they are affecting the same system Look up on Web MD .com eating disorders it will also answer your question on diabetes
i dont think so but there is such thing as diabulimia
diabulimia is when a diabetic skips doses of insulin and lets ketones breakdown fat and spill into your urine.
