An article published in BBC News, Health today, mentioned that:

”... up to one-third of young women with [diabetes] disease miss injections to stay thin” in reference to patients in the UK. They do this because failure to take correct doses can lead to rapid weight loss, but “the ‘diabulimia’ eating disorder can lead to blindness, heart and kidney disease.”

Nothing to be playing with.
