โœฆ Synopsis

A case of bulimia in a young diabetic woman is presented. The patient was successfully treated with nortriptyline and atenolol.

Recent reports indicate that the prevalence of bulimia in young diabetic women may be between 6.5 and 35%, suggesting that diabetic women are at an increased risk to develop bulimia (Hudson, Wentworth, Hudson, & Pope, 1985).

The combination of these disorders may be especially problematic with poorly controlled blood glucose levels and episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis secondary to binge eating (Hillard & Hillard, 1984).

Although antidepressant medication has been successfully used for the treatment of bulimia (Pope, Hudson, Jonas, & Todd, 1983; Walsh, Stewart, Roose, Glodis, & Glassman, 1984; Hughes, Wells, Cunningham, & Ilstrup, 1986), this is the first case report which describes the use of antidepressant medication with atenolol in a young diabetic bulimic woman.
