Abstract
Objective: to understand the relationship that women with diabulimia have with the body.
Method: a qualitative research, developed with the Thematic Oral History Method, with four women between 18 and 30 years of age who reported diabulimia.
Results: women's relationship with their bodies has been guided by the social pressure of female thinness that distorts self-image, generates dissatisfaction with the body and diminishes self-esteem. Weight loss is proportionally associated with increased social acceptance and justifies the use of harmful methods to health such as reducing the dose or suspending the use of insulin. The narrators showed to know the risks, but admitted to repeat it in certain contexts.
Final considerations and implications for practice: the desire that women with Diabetes Mellitus have to lose weight needs to be incorporated into the strategies of care with the attention of health professionals to subjectivity, acting to recognize and prevent eating disorders in women with diabetes and minimize the adoption of actions harmful to health.

Resumo
Objetivo: compreender a relação que as mulheres com diabulimia têm com o corpo.
Método: pesquisa qualitativa, desenvolvida com o Método da História Oral Temática, com quatro mulheres entre 18 e 30 anos que autorreferiram diabulimia.
Resultados: a relação das mulheres com o seu corpo foi pautada pela pressão social de magreza feminina que distorce a autoimagem, gera insatisfação com o corpo e a diminuição da autoestima. A perda de peso é proporcionalmente associada ao aumento da aceitação social e justifica a utilização de métodos deletérios à saúde como a diminuição da dose ou a suspensão do uso de insulina. As narradoras demonstraram conhecer os riscos, mas admitiram repeti-la em determinados contextos.
Considerações finais e implicações para a prática: o desejo que as mulheres com Diabetes Mellitus têm de perder peso precisa ser incorporado às estratégias de cuidado com a atenção dos profissionais da saúde à subjetividade, atuando para reconhecer e prevenir os transtornos alimentares em mulheres com diabetes e minimizar a adoção de ações prejudiciais à saúde.
