Dr. Lynne Weixel answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Almost certainly not: Not eating is a dangerous thing to do even if it does not cause diabetes. You should see a health professional to get advice about your concerns. Please take care of yourself by eating, sleeping and doing other things that your body needs.
