Bulimia and Diabetes Type 2 link?

Question

Does anyone know of any research or anything on any related connections between Bulimia and developing Type 2 Diabetes?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I don't know of any studies or research on the connection, but I can see how they might be related. Binging on too many carbs can overwork the pancreas, to the point that the pancreas can no longer produce sufficient amounts of insulin. (Carbs turn into glucose in the blood. The pancreas needs to produce extra insulin to compensate for the extra glucose. If this extra insulin production goes on too long, it can wear out the pancrease. I learned this in my diabetes class.)

Answer 4

Blood sugar imbalances are often prompted by chronic mineral deficiencies. The vast majority of people living in industrialized nations suffer from deficiencies in major minerals like zinc, magnesium and selenium, and in other nutrients. The brain, sensing these deficiencies, sends the signal to keep eating until the needed minerals are acquired, but since most modern processed foods are virtually devoid of these minerals, a person will never achieve the necessary mineralization consumption, no matter how much food they eat.

That's one reason why people can eat enormous quantities of processed or manufactured foods and still feel hungry. Their body is not receiving the proper hormonal "full" signals due to the absence of minerals necessary for normal blood sugar metabolism and hormone balance.

According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of diabetes cases can be TOTALLY CORRECTED with diet and exercise. That means that you don't have to have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene. You don't have to go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities because of diabetes. You can actually REVERSE some of these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise, and the removal of parasites and candida.

Best of luck.

Answer 5

There is no connection. Totally unrelated. Bulimia involves gorging with food and then deliberately and voluntarily purging to avoid weight gain. Type 2 diabetes is a disease. It is not voluntary. It occurs when the insulin produced is ineffective at handling and controlling the patient's blood sugar.
