Plum Devouring Her Daughter
An homage to Francisco Goyaâs gruesome Saturn Devouring His Son, only here we have Plum chomping down on Netherplum, a disturbing quest for a chocolate milkshake.

Can't Beat Betas
β-cells of the pancreas produce insulin that regulates levels of blood glucose and malfunction of these cells causes diabetes; the pancreas also contains other non-β-cells (called ι-, δ- and γ-cells). In this study a mouse model lacking non-β-cells shows that β-cells alone are sufficient for maintaining normal blood glucose levels, meaning therapies for diabetes may be less concerned with inclusion of other cell types

Propaganda!
A chloroplast is a type of membrane-bound organelle that conducts photosynthesis mostly in plant and algal cells. Through this process, light energy is converted into chemical energy, which is stored in organic compounds that can later be metabolized through cellular respiration to fuel the organism's activities.
Glucose is a sugar with the molecular formula C6H12O6. It is mainly made by plants and most algae during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight. In energy metabolism, glucose is the most important source of energy in all organisms. Glucose circulates in the blood of animals as blood sugar.

My favorite brand of diabetic tumblr is when someone is posting low blood sugar memes while theyâre clearly fighting for their life

Iâm too nice for my own good. Today I felt sad because the main trio of monosaccharides (glucose, galactose and fructose) always ditch fructose, both glucose and galactose are aldoses while fructose is a ketose and when they enter the cell, both use transport proteins while she entres through diffusion. She must feel so sad and left out

Welcome to testing with POGO Automatic! This video offers valuable tips for effective testing and complements the owner's manual that comes with your device.
Access the time and date menu by pressing "M" when the arrow is next to the clock icon. Use the scroll buttons to adjust settings and confirm with "M."
Ensure there's a test cartridge in the meter with the POGO label facing you. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before testing to avoid affecting results.
POGO Automatic requires only a small blood sample (0.25 microliters). Choose fingers that bleed well, avoiding calluses and nail beds. Prepare your finger by rubbing it firmly to increase blood flow.
Place the meter on a flat surface and turn it on. Wait for instructions on the screen before placing your prepared finger on the test port. Press down firmly until the test process completes.
Do not lift your finger off the test port until you see the up arrow, as this may interrupt blood collection and affect your glucose result.
Need help with your POGO Automatic? Our customer support team is available to answer your questions at 1-855-IMI-POGO (464-7646)

2/21/24 PlyoJam, Strength and stretch
Today was 45 minutes of cardio, a shorter strength session (15 mins), then 30 or so stretching.
Blood sugar does not come down during exercise, it seems, but after, which Dr. Google says is normal... đ¤ˇââď¸ Mine seems to go up during sleep, which makes sense, I guess, cos I eat my main meal in the evening... maybe I should go for a walk after dinner or something to reduce that impact?

I am wearing a glucose monitor to test for hypoglycaemia. Itâs been a few hours and Iâve already had 2 critical lows with one being 40. Currently my glucose is a bit high, but Iâm also on my period and running feeds. Itâs when Iâm off my feeds that my glucose plummets. This is very interesting data.

The Pizza Knight Saves The Princess is a fantasy-comedy choose-your-own-adventure-style visual novel being developed by Dragon's Den Studios. Set on the planet Comestibla, where everything & everyone is made of food, we play as the Pizza Knight as he tries to save his beloved Water Ice Princess from the castle of the evil Chocolate Count. You can download the demo for free HERE: https://dragons-den-studios.itch.io/the-pizza-knight-saves-the-princess
Over the course of this month I'll be posting some of the game's art to this blog! This image is a sneak peak of content only available in the full release!
This image depicts the Gumball Chemist, the creator of the gumbots, doing some fantasy science with some actual science mixed in in an attempt to escape from the laboratory where he's been locked inside, unaware that the Pizza Knight has already broken in from the outside. The Cyrillic letters represent elements on the periodic table of magic.

Any carbohydrate that reacts with an oxidising agent to form an aldonic acid is classified as a reducing sugar.

As the world searches for ways to reduce the use of plastics such as single-use plastic bags, a novel study by Penn State researchers demonstrates a process to make paper bags stronger -- especially when they get wet -- to make them a more viable alternative.
The study suggests a process for creating paper bags durable enough to be used multiple times and then broken down chemically by an alkaline treatment to be used as a source for biofuel production, according to researcher Daniel Ciolkosz, associate research professor of agricultural and biological engineering.
"When the primary use of these paper products ends, using them for secondary purposes makes them more sustainable," he said. "Recycling and reducing paper waste also helps in reducing total solid waste destined for landfills. This is a concept we think society should consider."
Lead researcher Jaya Tripathi, who will graduate from Penn State this spring with a doctoral degree in biorenewable systems and has accepted a position at the Joint BioEnergy Institute in California, devised an innovative process in which cellulose in paper is torrefied, or roasted in an oxygen-deprived environment, to greatly increase its tensile strength when wet.

I've been testing my glucose the past few days and while it's never been out of range, the numbers do seem weird for the times they were taken and don't seem to reflect the correct values for fasting, eating, etc. I suspect this is due to dehydration concentrating my blood sugar. it's like strawberry jam in there
