Considering that type I diabetes in on the rise in all age groups, it is extremely important to be able to diagnose its medical and psychological complications. I would definitely recommend this book for any level of health care professionals involved in the care of type I diabetes individuals."- Marina Basina, M.D. Clinical Assistant ProfessorStanford University Medical CenterDivision of Endocrinology, Gerontology and Metabolism"Aarti's book is the first of its kind; a much needed resource for patients and clinicians alike in the battle against diabulimia. It shows an in-depth understanding of how this disease works and the devastating effect it can have. This should be required reading for every healthcare professional working in the field of diabetes." - Erin M. Akers, CEO of Diabulimia Helplinewww.diabulimiahelpline.org"Ms. Sharma's expertise in diabetes combines with her personal history of struggling with "diabulimia" to afford us the leverage of her rare vantage point. It is from this perspective that she is uniquely qualified to address the many nuances of this little-known eating disorder from within its very center. Her knowledge about "diabulimia" brings readers to explore not only what the illness is and how it develops, but more importantly, what we can do about it."- Maryjeanne Hunt, author of Eating to Lose: Healing from a Life of Diabulimia (Demos Health)
