Diabulimia: NHS cash to treat type 1 diabetes eating disorder

Diabulimia: NHS cash to treat type 1 diabetes eating disorder At her worst point Zohra Allana was told she was "going to die".

The 25-year-old has diabulimia - when someone with type 1 diabetes deliberately doesn't take their insulin to control their weight.

"I look really awful, emaciated," she tells Radio 1 Newsbeat, while swiping through holiday photos from last year.

The condition isn't medically recognised, but now NHS England is putting just under £1m into two pilot projects to help people like Zohra. BBC News
