Summary:

"Diabetes is one of the most urgent health issues of our time. It costs the United States billions of dollars a year in healthcare expenses. Diabulimia "is the dangerous and often fatal practice where an individual with Type 1 Diabetes alters or omits insulin for the purpose of weight loss." This book discusses how the author lost weight by eating more, as long as she remained "diligent" about off-setting a binge with an omission of insulin. This book, however, should be for educational purposes only and should not replace the independent judgment of a physician"-- Provided by publisher.
