New York Times. Quack-Quack eating disorder. December 24, 2016

An eating disorder in diabetics type 2 and type 1, presented by New York Times, right opposite one to another.

 The eating disorder the young woman developed is unique to people with Type 1 diabetes and has been called diabulimia, though it is not a recognized medical condition. (People with Type 2 diabetes who take insulin do not have the same rapid response to insulin restriction.)

Really?  How people with type 2 diabetes who take insulin respond to insulin injections? Do we have different needle that pain from shot does not hurt us? Do we have different symptoms when blood sugar is low? Does Insulin deficit  do not lead "to diabetic ketoacidosis, a potentially fatal condition that develops when the body lacks insulin and starts to break down fat, producing ketones that can poison the body"?  Does this condition is only marked in diabetics type 1? Not at all. Regardless one is diabetic or not, diabetic type 2 or diabetic type 1, LADA or Post-transplant Diabetic, we do react on insulin injections is the same way. When dose of insulin is higher then our body needs, then it is low blood sugar, regardless one is diabetic or not. That's right, insulin can be given to non-diabetics, and they react to the insulin injection in the same way as diabetics type1.
This is first Quack by author in this publication. Author simple switched from one subject to another in reason to kick ass of diabetics type 2. Really it is reasonable to see similarities between type 2 who take insulin and type 1. To cut off this expression author present right away, diabetics type 2 who take insulin injections cannot develop this type of eating disorder. The  question is, how this can be prove by author? No prove. Pure Quack.
In case presented by author diabetic type 1 had done it for herself. She simple avoided insulin injections and at the same time started to practice to throw up and restricted her eating. Her numbers gone way too high. The reasonable question is why? According to many studies, and most popular study by professor R.Taylor and highly supported by NYT, 8 weeks low carb low fat low calorie diat lead to diabetes type 2 reverse, which means that with this type of diet blood sugar drops, and even after diet was returned back to normal, level of sugar in blood still withing normal ranger.
There is another Quack, why blood sugar in type 1 diabetic skyrocket when with the same diet diabetic's type 2 blood sugar dropped? There must be something odd that the same action fit two opposite statements.
Why in type 1 diabetic blood sugar got up with extreme diet and extremmely low food intake?
Why diabetic's type 2 blood sugar go down with 8 weeks starvation diet?
Both types of diabetes resulted by b-cells lost which lead to insufficient insulin secretion. It is just reasonable to assume that with Starvation diet dose of insulin will go down because of blood sugar level drops. If there is no meal then there is no insulin needed to convert this meal. There is simple nothing to convert. Blood sugar should not rise.

The first time she skipped an insulin dose, the 22-year-old said, it wasn’t planned. She was visiting her grandparents over a summer break from college and indulged in bags of potato chips and fistfuls of candy, but forgot to take the extra insulin that people with Type 1 diabetes, like her, require to keep their blood sugar levels in a normal range.

As I just said, the same as type 2 diabetic she must watch what she eats. No any differences between types of diabetes.

 She was already underweight after months of extreme dieting, but when she stepped on the scale the next day, she saw she had dropped several pounds overnight. “I put two and two together,” said the young woman, who lives in Boston and wished to remain anonymous.

Now there is trick. Why she was loosing weight? Because of her extreme dieting? Because of her high blood sugar numbers?  When author pointy out, it is diabetic type 1 and this diabetic has eating disorder, I try to find answers to my questions. The question, why she lost weight is most important. She could lost her weight because of she did  not eat. Every one, regardless one diabetic type 1 or not, would have danger in rapid extreme weight lost. So, author must say why it is so danger for diabetic type 2 compare with non--diabetic or diabetic type 2. Still, there is no answer, why weight was rapidly lost? 'Weight could be lost because of high blood sugar numbers. In this case, regardless she has eating disorder or not she would not eat if she does not force herself. She would drink water, in big quantities. Siphon effect. At the same time it would be high water discharge, like broken waters.  Looks like she did not have this condition which means she did not have high blood sugar numbers.

Next Quack.

 People with Type 1 diabetes, who don’t produce their own insulin, require continuous treatments with the hormone in order to get glucose from the bloodstream into the cells. When they skip or restrict their insulin, either by failing to take shots or manipulating an insulin pump, it causes sugars — and calories — to spill into the urine, causing rapid weight loss.

When any treatment mention, it is dose must be added into info. So, what was dose of insulin which she skipped?  That's right, dose of insulin is crucial. I would be happy to see the numbers, but looks like author simple has no one idea what is his or her Quacking about.There are no diabetics, any types of it who do not produce own insulin, no one type. It can be nether diabetic when diabetic in final stage, diabetic type 2, type 2, LADA, or Diabetic with transplanted organ. So, if she was able to live outside of medical care she was not in final fatal stage of diabetes.

Last spring, with severe pain racking her body and fearful she had damaged her kidneys (she had not), she finally enrolled in an intensive five-week day treatment program at Renfrew, followed by a slightly less intensive six-week program.

This is major difference between types of diabetes. As diabetic type 1 she was enrolled in incentive treatment program. If she diabetic type 2 she would not. There are no intensive programs for diabetics type 2. We have to modify our life style with every visit to any doctor clinic. Regardless how many times we modified our live, the numbers still high. So, more life style modifications needed. The result is with  many modifications we lost vision, became amputees, develop strokes and heart attacks, one after another.
The point of this publication?
There is no difference between types of diabetes. There are even no types of diabetes, but stages of diabetes development. Dividing diabetics by types lead to different treatment and as a result to very different outcome. Diabetics type 2 live less then 10 years after being diagnosed with diabetes type 2 if we do not stop to take Junk Medicine and start to take insulin, right type of it, right dose of it.
