Kristie,   Thanks for writing. It sounds like a lot of things are going on in your life with diabetes right now and when you're ready to start making really good choices for yourself, you will. It won't be easy---but it will be worth it.   Diabulimia is not an option to lose weight. What is the point of being thin if your kidneys are failing and you're damaging your vision?   And there are a lot of healthy things to do to lose weight --but it's not going to be a rapid weightloss, it's going to be gradual and steady. THe idea is to adapt healthy habits into your life that you plan to continue as best you can for the rest of your life -- instead of trying to find a temporary quick fix.
