I've heard of it

But I wasn't aware of the name. Thanks Jody.

I was a little disappointed in the way the article was written, though. An example:

This condition exists when someone with diabetes reduces or completely eliminates the amount of insulin they need as a way of loosing weight.

Yeah, I know...I'm no doctor. But is that statement accurate? The person isn't altering the amount of insulin they need, they're altering the amount they administer. Pretty important difference.

As a diabetic, I'm honestly shocked that anyone would consider doing this deliberately. The consequences of uncontrolled diabetes are horrifying.
