Dr. Mark Hyman remains one of my favorite functional medicine physicians, and I was lucky enough to hear him lecture at my college. “When you create health, disease goes away as a side effect. It’s really about putting in the right inputs, and taking out the things that are causing imbalance. You have to address every aspect of health, starting with food.”

hello! I am also diabetic (type one). I’m curious if when you think of star trek or yourself in Star Trek if you imagine having diabetes still? I think either way is valid, just curious. I go back and forth trying to figure out if they would have cured it or just advanced insulin pumps to the point of being practically seamless with day to day life. For me being diabetic is so integral to my personality I kind of don’t know if I would like to think of it as being cured? It’s cool if you don’t want to answer too! Just thought I’d ask :)

This is an interesting question.

I've always thought about my type one diabetes as being solidly on the second end of the disability "spectrum," so to speak, where the first end is "this is integral to my personality and who I am, accommodate but do not 'cure' me," and the second is "this brings nothing but pain to my life, please cure me immediately."

The only accommodation that would fully make my life better, in my opinion, (which is only my opinion about my own disability), is either a functional cure (artificial pancreas) or actual cure (no machinery necessary), the latter of which I would prefer, because frankly I'm sick of wearing a pump and a cgm 24/7 and the sheer amount of waste it produces, which is not my fault because I need to live, but still weighs heavily on me (and takes up a large amount of space in my apartment). Not to mention the scheduling--this message brought to you by me being woken up at 5am by an empty insulin pump and realizing that, no, I don't seem to have any unused cartridges left, so I have to use an old one and pray that the pump accepts it while waiting for the delivery of the supplies I just now ordered, which cost $750.

When I think about a life in the Star Trek universe, I can really only think about being transferred there now, as I am, with the life I have led, and I think that's what also shapes my decision. If I had been born into the Star Trek universe, there are so many aspects of my personality that might have been different, considering I wouldn't have to worry about scarcity and affordability of, for example, housing. Instead of being a theatre critic as a second job that feeds my soul but doesn't pay the bills, I'd probably be a playwright/dramaturg/critic full time. However, I might find not having a job outside of the theatre world to be detrimental, because when people don't have lives outside of theatre, their writing tends to get smaller and more insular.

This is a digression, but what I mean is: I can only see me as I am now joining a Starfleet world, rather than trying to envision the person I would be if I'd begun my life there. I mean, I certainly wouldn't be known for making memes about Star Trek, the TV show, if Star Trek were reality instead of entertainment, so things would be different in a number of ways. I can't even think about all the ways my life could have been different in this reality without getting a headache.

In that case, I have learned a lot from being diabetic, including patience and empathy for other people, and a strong sense of social justice. I've learned a lot about food and exercise and how they affect the body. I've learned responsibility and self-management. I've made more peace with aging than many of my friends, because I've felt prematurely "old" (aches, pains, contemplation of mortality) since I was a preteen. I think I would have some form of these things without diabetes, but my worldview would likely be different. In a way, I'm grateful for these lessons, and I don't know if born-into-Star-Trek me would be insufferable.

That being said, I firmly believe that having diabetes for more than 25 years means that diabetes has taught me all about life it's going to teach me. I'm done. If I were to wake up tomorrow without it, I'd, in the words of Beyond McCoy, "throw a party." A party with plenty of cake. Or, to misquote The Voyage Home, "The doctor gave me a pill, and I grew a new pancreas!"

Now that it's part of me, its absence might leave me somewhat adrift, but I think of all the time I've lost to it where I could have been enjoying life and been allowed to be the unfettered me I desired to be, and I say, good riddance.

Idea, tell me if you'd read it.

So I've found inspiration in a dream. I have been watching The Orville, and rewatching the Star Treks. In my dream, aligning to The Orville universe, in 2046, as part of a euginics war/movement, I was chosen to participate in a program that promised to rid me of my type 1 diabetes, fibromyalgia, and other illnesses. My husband and infant child were placed into another program the put them into cryosleep to be awakened at a later time. The program I was in took my brain and nervous system, as well as some of my vital organs, and placed them into a artificial carapace. The survival rate of the proceedure was 40%. I was one of the survivors. After a couple of years of learning to use our new bodies the government stepped in and told us world war 3 had broken out and we were required to fight. Most of us were pacifists refused to fight, so the government stepped in and activated a fail safe. We lost all control of our bodies becoming spectators of our actions. The war lasted 10 years, it took us 9 to figure out how powerful our minds were. We first developed telepathic comminucations through the bluetooth like connection that had been designed into us by the engineers. Together, as our bodies were commiting war crimes, we figured out how to break the code. It was midbattle when we broke free. One minute we are tearing people apart, the next we froze, then we turned and ran. For a century we lived underground trying to hide from the Sapiens. We came to call ourselves Homo sapien cyber to differentiate ourselves from our creaters. Centuries pass, and some of us being scientists, have refined and upgraded our bodies to the point we can blending with Sapiens. We integrate into their society while developing our own. Our system is a Social Democracy led by a councel, each representing a group of our kind, and headed by a grand councel men. They wanted me to lead without a councel, but I managed to convince majority to form the councel. I don't want to lead. This gives me the position to check the councel and the counsel checks me. By the time the Orville comes about we have infiltrated the Union. I take the roll of lead astrobotanist on the Orville. With the handling of the Kaylon and the insuing war, Cybers were impressed. By this time our technology had developed far beyond that of Sapiens, we only need a couple of hours of sleep and a quarter of the calories that Sapiens do. The counsel decided that it was time to reintroduce ourselves. We made the announcement to the president and made ourselves known in all places. Then requested a meeting with the unioin counsel where we request citizenship and recognition of us being a sub species of Homo Sapiens. However, at this point, after telling them out story, I used my right as grand counselman to put a condition on this. We offered all access to our science, technology, and wepons, exceeding that which they lost with the Moclans leaving. However this hinged on the humans returning that which they stole from us. Our mates, we had found out that our reproductive organs were preserved in our carapaces, with the third iteration of our bodies we found that we could reproduce, any child birthed was sapien, until the fifth iterations that was made with full itegration of quantum bots, robots so small that they function on a quantum level. They fully itegrate with our biological systems. Children born after this were born fully integrated Cybers, and any children they produced had the quantum bot technology in them too. At the end of the meeting, Admiral Tom Halsy stands up and promises that no matter what the counsel decides, Sapiens will find and return our families. Thats where the dream/daydream ends. Should I write this? Please comment with your opinion.

By viewing each patient as a whole, internists can create personalized strategies that support well-being over the long term.

Preventive Care: Building a Foundation for Lifelong Health

Preventive care is central to the philosophy of internal medicine, aiming to identify potential health issues before they develop into severe conditions. For older adults, preventive care includes regular screenings for heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and other age-related illnesses. Internists also advise on lifestyle factors, such as diet, exercise, and sleep, which are fundamental to aging well. By addressing risk factors early, internists help patients take proactive steps toward maintaining health. This preventive focus supports longevity and enables older adults to enjoy a higher quality of life with fewer medical complications.

Chronic Disease Management: Navigating the Complexities of Aging

Chronic disease management is one of the primary services provided by internists, as chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and arthritis become more familiar with age. Managing these conditions effectively requires consistent monitoring, medication adjustments, and regular check-ups. Internists are skilled at creating personalized management plans that evolve as the patient's needs change. They closely monitor symptoms, respond to any health changes, and modify treatment plans to ensure optimal outcomes. By coordinating long-term care, internists help prevent complications associated with chronic illnesses, improving both the length and quality of life for aging patients.

Internal Medicine's Role in Mental Health for Older Adults

Mental health is a vital aspect of overall wellness, and it becomes essential as individuals age. Aging adults may face increased risks of depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline, partly due to physical health changes, social isolation, or the loss of loved ones. Internists often serve as the first line of defense in recognizing mental health issues, offering support or referrals to mental health specialists when necessary. Internists help patients manage mental health conditions with a compassionate, integrated approach that considers both physical and psychological health. This comprehensive focus allows internists to foster an environment where aging patients feel supported in all aspects of their health journey.

Geriatric Care: Specialized Knowledge for the Aging Population

As patients age, their healthcare needs become increasingly unique and complex. Internists specializing in geriatric care provide dedicated support for older adults, addressing age-specific health challenges such as mobility issues, frailty, and memory concerns. Geriatric internists tailor their approach to meet the needs of older adults, often coordinating with family members and caregivers to develop a support system that promotes independence and quality of life. This specialized knowledge is invaluable, as it helps elderly patients manage multiple health concerns while retaining as much autonomy as possible. Geriatric care within internal medicine embodies the compassionate, individualized care that older adults require for aging well.

The Importance of Continuity of Care in Aging

One of the most significant benefits of internal medicine is the continuity of care that internists provide over decades. This long-term relationship allows internists to understand their patients' health histories, lifestyle factors, and personal goals, enabling them to tailor healthcare strategies accordingly. Continuity of care is essential in aging well, as it allows internists to recognize subtle health changes and address them promptly. Patients who have established relationships with their internists are more likely to engage in preventive care and adhere to treatment recommendations. This continuity fosters trust, enhances communication, and creates a stable healthcare environment that supports patients in their journey through the aging process.

Internal Medicine and the Role of Family Involvement in Elderly Care

As individuals age, the role of family and close relationships in their healthcare often becomes more prominent. Internists recognize the value of family involvement, especially in cases where patients require assistance with medication management, daily activities, or emotional support. Internists often work with family members to develop comprehensive care plans, guiding how they can best support their loved ones. This collaboration is crucial, as it enhances the patient's support network and ensures that everyone involved is aligned with the patient's healthcare objectives. Family involvement is a valuable aspect of aging well, and internists facilitate this by fostering open, constructive communication with all parties involved.

Promoting Independence and Quality of Life in Aging

Internal medicine focuses not only on managing diseases but also on promoting independence and quality of life for aging patients. Internists work with older adults to address mobility challenges, pain management, and other issues that may impact daily life. They recommend physical therapy, exercise programs, or lifestyle adjustments to help patients maintain independence for as long as possible. This focus on functional health is essential in aging well, as it allows patients to engage in activities they enjoy and maintain a sense of control over their lives. By supporting both physical and mental wellness, internists help aging patients lead fulfilling lives with minimal limitations.

The Lasting Impact of Internal Medicine in Healthy Aging

Internal medicine is a cornerstone of healthy aging, providing the tools and guidance needed to navigate the complexities of growing older. From preventive care to chronic disease management, mental health support, and geriatric specialization, internists play a crucial role in supporting health across decades. The continuity of care and personalized approach of internal medicine allows patients to maintain health, independence, and quality of life as they age. Through a comprehensive approach, internists empower patients to embrace the aging process with confidence, making aging well not just a possibility but a reality.

The Role of Medicine, Nutrition, Mental Relaxation, and Exercise in Disease Management

In today’s fast-paced world, many people look to medicine as the primary solution for curing diseases. While medication plays a vital role, it is crucial to understand that medicine alone is not the ultimate solution to achieving optimal health. In fact, it contributes only a small percentage to overall disease management and recovery. The holistic approach to health involves a combination of good nutrition, mental relaxation, and regular physical activity, which together make a significant impact on disease prevention and cure.

The Importance of Good Nutrition

"Let food be thy medicine" is an ancient saying that holds true even today. A well-balanced diet rich in essential nutrients is one of the key pillars of good health. Proper nutrition supports the body’s natural healing process, boosts the immune system, and helps prevent chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats provide the body with the necessary vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to function efficiently and combat illness.

Mental Relaxation and Stress Management

Mental well-being plays a crucial role in disease prevention and recovery. Chronic stress, anxiety, and mental exhaustion can severely impact the immune system and lead to a range of health problems, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and even depression. Incorporating practices such as meditation, mindfulness, and deep breathing exercises can greatly enhance mental relaxation, reduce stress levels, and improve overall mental health. A calm mind is a powerful tool in maintaining good health and accelerating recovery from illness.

The Power of Exercise

Physical activity is another essential component of a healthy lifestyle. Exercise not only strengthens muscles and improves cardiovascular health but also helps regulate blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation, and promote mental clarity. Regular exercise enhances the body’s ability to fight off diseases and improves overall longevity. Whether it's a brisk walk, yoga, or strength training, integrating daily physical activity can drastically reduce the risk of chronic illnesses and contribute to faster recovery times.

The Limited Role of Medicine

Medicine certainly has its place in treating and managing diseases, particularly in acute conditions or infections where immediate intervention is necessary. However, in the grand scheme of health and disease control, its impact is often limited compared to the long-term benefits of lifestyle changes. Medicine generally treats symptoms and manages conditions but does not address the root cause of many chronic illnesses, which are often tied to poor diet, stress, and lack of exercise. Thus, medicine may only account for a small percentage of the overall approach to disease management.

Conclusion

While medicine is undoubtedly important, a comprehensive approach to health that includes good nutrition, mental relaxation, and regular exercise is far more effective in controlling and preventing diseases. By prioritizing these aspects of your lifestyle, you take control of your health in a more sustainable and holistic way. Remember, true wellness is achieved when the body, mind, and spirit are in balance.

Sleep Well to Live Well

Sleep is a crucial element for a good health and well-being. The adage “Sleep well to live well” emphasizes how quality sleep is for maintaining a balanced and fulfilling life.

Good sleep is more than just a period of rest; it's a vital process where the body repairs itself and the brain processes information. Achieving 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night is essential for optimal physical and mental health. During sleep, critical functions like muscle repair, immune system strengthening, and hormone regulation occur, making it a foundation for overall well-being.

Poor sleep can lead to a several health issues, including increased stress levels, impaired cognitive function, and higher risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. On the other hand, consistent, high-quality sleep promotes better memory, improved mood, mental clarity, stress management, and enhanced cognitive performance. It also supports emotional resilience, helping you manage stress and interact more positively with others.

Creating a sleep-friendly environment is the key to achieving restful nights. Make sure the bed is comfortable and the place is cool, dark, and peaceful. Limiting screen time before bed and avoiding stimulants like caffeine can also improve sleep quality.

Incorporating relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, yoga, or meditation, can further enhance your sleep experience. By prioritizing sleep and integrating healthy sleep habits into your daily routine, you pave the way for improved physical health, mental clarity, and emotional stability.

Ultimately, embracing the principle of “Sleep well to live well” means recognizing sleep as a crucial component of a healthy lifestyle and taking proactive steps to ensure you get the restorative rest needed to thrive in every aspect of life.
