&quot;Diabulimia&quot; is one search term you can use.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.joslin.org&#x2F;info&#x2F;Eating_Disorders_Diabulimia_in_Type_1_Diabetes.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.joslin.org&#x2F;info&#x2F;Eating_Disorders_Diabulimia_in_Ty...</a><p>&gt; &gt; Women with eating disorders and [type one] diabetes typically struggle with symptoms similar to those of women with eating disorders who do not have diabetes.  However, they exhibit a very dangerous symptom of calorie purging in the form of insulin restriction.<p>&gt; but was unable to turn up any suggestion as to how one would go about deliberately using either excess or insufficient levels of insulin to reduce body weight.<p>Well, if you think about it in terms of &quot;eating disorder&quot; rather than &quot;staying thin&quot; it makes more sense.  People with eating disorder do a bunch of stuff with the aim of staying slim that doesn&#x27;t have that affect.  People with bulimia tend to be overweight; we know that laxatives do nothing to promote thinness; etc.
