Hello Rohwen & girlontherocks. I also just want to say Welcome to the Eating Disorders Forum.

Rowhen, reading your post made me feel like your diabetes may have alot to do with your BED. Maybe you will do alot better after you get your food intake balanced healthily, partly because your diabetes throws off your entire body chemistry. I would think that you would need to do some work first on acceptance of your diabetes and the restrictions that it causes you to have and to feel. At least this is how I would think that it would affect me if I had diabetes.

I would suggest that you do alot of research on diabetes and find a counselor that deals with diabetes. It would probably be beneficial to do an indepth research on healthy eating for diabetics, the pros & cons. The actual causes and effects of diabetes and how foods affect your health, if you eat wrong or if you eat right. Maybe I'm all off trach here, but it sounds like alot of understanding & knowledge of your disease and the affects of what you eat, will help you to feel like you are still free to live a full life, even with diabetes.
