What is Diabulimia?

What is Diabulimia

Diabulimia is an eating disorder specific to individuals with Type 1 diabetes, characterised by intentionally skipping insulin doses and restricting food intake to control body weight. This condition is more common in women with Type 1 diabetes and can lead to serious health risks, such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), heart attack, and kidney failure. Factors like body image concerns, calorie tracking, and difficulty managing diabetes contribute to its development. Warning signs include high HbA1c levels, repeated hospital admissions, and irregular blood glucose measurements. Early diagnosis and treatment, including support from a multi-disciplinary team, are essential for managing diabulimia and preventing long-term complications.

Update on The Simplyweight Online Plan

As of 2nd May 2025, the Simplyweight Online Plan will be retired in its current form.

The app was offered complimentary to users receiving our medication service, and we’re deeply grateful to everyone who engaged with it. This isn’t a goodbye but rather a positive step forward in the evolution of Simplyweight.

Behind the scenes, we’ve been working steadily on new services that are more in tune with our vision, and we believe they’ll bring even more value to our customers.

Thank you for being with us. We’re excited about what’s ahead and look forward to sharing it with you in time.

Best wishes,
