Mélovin Health Update 2.0: I'm going to beat Mark Zuckerberg to death with hammers. (11/14/2023)

SO. If you are wondering about this very bizarre title, as it turns out, Instagram has a captions system! However, said captions only appear on, get this, Zuck the Cuck's fucking piece of shit app and not desktop or mobile browsers (which is what I use to access Insta solely for the sake of Melposting). On top of, Instagram stories are not easily intuited/accessible through browser like they are in the app, either.

It turns out there were CAPTIONS to go with the video and stories posted and Mel actually states that what he has been diagnosed with, which is diabetes.

Let me emphasize, again: HE HAS DIABETES.

(I was presuming Type 2 since Type 1 would have been found much earlier in his life, however I saw once source claim that this is actually a rarer genetic form called MODY diabetes. Take that with a grain of salt.)

On top of this: YES, IT WAS INDEED AN ERROR ON INSTAGRAM'S TRANSLATION. The key word was in fact incurable, *NOT* terminal.

(Now granted, this doesn't mean Mel doesn't have some issues with his liver as a result of the diabetes diagnosis - as stated in the previous post, steatohepatitis is a complication that can *result* from diabetes, and that condition is mentioned in the corner of one of the medical forms he also posted in his Insta story.)

Is this still bad? Of course it is, again, no one likes being diagnosed with a chronic and potentially debilitating illness. However, it does not seem to be nearly as bad as Instagram clearly led us to believe, and Mel is young and already getting treatment, I have confidence in his health. Lesson learned, though: do not rely on machines and algorithms for your translations.

Everything else in the previous post still stands as is, with regards to how this was diagnosed, and that it is still unknown how this will impact music and performances going forward.

HE IS NOT DYING, not yet anyway, now everyone go stream/listen to Один не Один while I go kill Mark Zuckerberg.
