A top north-east consultant psychiatrist has said more money must be invested in research to better treat diabetics with eating disorders.
Dr Jane Morris, who works at the Eden Unit at the Royal Cornhill Hospital in Aberdeen, said not one single treatment existed to help diabulimia sufferers.
She said she and her colleagues had a “great ally” in Ann Gold, a part-time consultant at Woolmanhill who specialises in diabetes, but more could be done.
Up to 40% of women who have Type 1 Diabetes admit to missing insulin for weight loss purposes which leads to blindness, amputation, infertility, kidney failure and death.
