Your Health is Better Series - Dealing with Diabetes (1)

What is Blood Sugar?

Blood sugar, also known as blood glucose, is the amount of sugar present in your blood. It comes from the food you eat, especially carbohydrates like bread, rice, pasta, and fruit. Insulin, a hormone produced by your pancreas, helps regulate blood sugar by allowing it to enter your cells for energy. In people with diabetes, the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or doesn’t use it properly, leading to high blood sugar levels, which can cause various health problems over time.

Why is Regular Monitoring Important?

For individuals with diabetes, regular monitoring of blood sugar is essential to ensure it stays within a healthy range. If blood sugar levels are too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia), it can lead to serious complications, such as heart disease, nerve damage, kidney problems, or even vision loss.

By checking your blood sugar regularly, you can:

Detect Patterns: Monitoring helps you identify patterns in your blood sugar levels. For instance, you may notice that your blood sugar spikes after eating certain foods, or it drops after physical activity. This can guide you in making healthier food choices and adjusting your lifestyle to better manage diabetes.

Adjust Treatment: If your blood sugar is too high or too low, it’s important to adjust your diabetes treatment plan. This may involve changing your diet, increasing physical activity, or modifying your medication under the guidance of your healthcare provider.

Prevent Emergencies: Regular monitoring allows you to catch blood sugar levels that are too high or too low before they become dangerous. If blood sugar goes too low (hypoglycemia), it can cause confusion, dizziness, and even loss of consciousness. If it’s too high (hyperglycemia), it can lead to long-term damage to organs.

How Often Should You Monitor Your Blood Sugar?

The frequency of monitoring depends on various factors such as the type of diabetes you have, your treatment plan, and how well your blood sugar is controlled. If you have type 1 diabetes or are on insulin therapy, you may need to check your blood sugar multiple times a day, including before meals and at bedtime. If you have type 2 diabetes and are managing it through diet and oral medications, you may need to check it less frequently.

How to Monitor Blood Sugar?

To monitor your blood sugar, you’ll use a device called a glucometer or glucose meter. It works by pricking your fingertip to get a small blood sample, which is then placed on a test strip inserted into the meter. The meter gives you a reading of your blood glucose level. Some newer devices, like continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), provide real-time readings throughout the day without needing to prick your finger.

Retinal detachment is when the eye's light-sensitive retina separates from its normal position. It's a medical emergency with symptoms like floaters, flashes, and vision loss. Treatment includes laser, cryopexy, gas bubble injection, or surgery to repair the detachment. Prompt treatment is crucial to prevent permanent vision loss. Regular eye exams can help with early detection.

i want you all to understand this.

insulin pens are very often used by diabetic children (or their parents, but they were very easy to use during the short time i was prescribed them when i was a child myself). they’re less cumbersome, produce less waste, and are far easier than pulling insulin from a vial with a single use syringe, as syringes are much more susceptible to air bubbles, which result in the diabetic not getting enough medication. i’m explaining this part because i know that some diabetic adults do also use them, and i’m sure that that’s true of diabetic adults in palestine with such scarce resources. when it’s life or death, you can’t really be picky.

the israeli occupation is now banning insulin pens from entering gaza.

lack of insulin results in diabetic ketoacidosis — essentially a very, very dangerous version of the effects of the keto diet. insulin is a key for the sugar from one’s food (both slow and fast acting, since all food has some carbohydrates, from nuts to potatoes to table sugar) to get from their bloodstream into their cells. without insulin, the body resorts to eating through its own fat stores rather than the sugar it cannot access and tries to flush the excess glucose that is in the blood through the urine. this results in weight loss, headaches, nausea, dehydration, blurred vision, abdominal pain, impaired mental faculties, and, if left untreated, will result in a coma, and eventually death within a matter of weeks. not “can.” it will kill you if not treated, and was largely considered a lethal diagnosis until insulin was discovered in the early 1900s and made readily available in 1922.

i’ve been in dka. admittedly, i was very young and have blocked much of it out. but i do remember that it fucking sucked. i couldn’t focus on anything, i was ravenous no matter how much i ate, and the room spinning to the point i felt like i was going to throw up became an increasingly regular occurrence. i was seven years old and wasting away like i was starved. i was dying. a few more days, and i likely would’ve gone into a coma and might not be here now.

to inflict that, willingly and knowingly, on innocent people, is nothing short of a crime against humanity, and violates the geneva conventions (item 2.a.ii. torture or inhumane treatment, including biological experiments and item 2.a.iii. willfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health). not that the israeli occupation cares, of course, as south african prosecutors have already extensively detailed their crimes in the icj, and this one in particular has already been committed near-countless times.

this entire occupation is a genocide, and this is only one more nail in that coffin. but, as a diabetic — as a human being who has been in that state and was lucky enough to have the resources to live almost another fifteen years (with the anniversary of my own diagnosis about halfway through next month), i can’t find the words to express my disgust and rage anymore. maybe it’s selfish to be so deeply impacted by this particular blow. i don’t know. but these people have done nothing wrong but be disabled in gaza, and as someone with the same disability, i know that no one deserves this, even if they have committed a crime (which, again, these civilians, largely children, have not). i will not fucking stand for it.

we need a ceasefire. we need an end to the occupation. we need a free palestine. now.

here’s a masterpost of how you can help.

EDIT: here’s a post on how to help diabetics in gaza specifically

"Urgent Appeal for Mohammed's Family in Gaza🙏🏻💔🙏🏻

I am the father of the child Mohammed, who suffers from partial paralysis on the left side since birth, loss of vision in the left eye, and brain atrophy. A shunt was installed in his brain due to abnormal fluid accumulation (hydrocephalus). Mohammed suffers from frequent neurological seizures and is in urgent need of healthcare and social support, special medications, and follow-up at the eye and neurology clinics.

The situation in Gaza makes it extremely difficult to provide the necessary care for Mohammed, my three children, and my family. We are currently living in a tent, and the weather is very cold. After our home was completely destroyed, we do not have access to medicines, food, or drink, and we urgently need suitable clothing and food for Mohammed and my three children.

We urgently need your support to donate for:

- Providing necessary medicines and medical care for Mohammed

- Ensuring healthy food and water for our family

- Providing warm clothing to face the severe cold

- Attempting to leave Gaza for treatment and providing a better and safer life for our children

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a big difference in our lives. We kindly ask you to share this post and help in any way possible.

Thank you for your support and care

I am Ross from the United States, and I have created this fundraiser to help the Alostaz family in Gaza through the father of Mohammed, Mahmoud. All raised funds will be sent through me to the family Alostaz.

If it isn't inconvenient, do you have any tips on writing characters suffering from a concussion?

✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

Writing Notes: Concussions

Concussion

A blow or a jolt to the head can cause a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI).

An injury to another part of the body that transmits force to the head can also result in concussion.

Concussion Symptoms

These are symptoms of a possible concussion:

Physical

Bothered by light or noise

Dizziness or balance problems

Feeling tired, no energy

Headaches

Nausea or vomiting (early on)

Vision problems

Thinking and remembering

Attention or concentration problems

Feeling slowed down

Foggy or groggy

Problems with short- or long-term memory

Trouble thinking clearly

Sluggish reactions

Social or emotional

Anxiety or nervousness

Irritability or easily angered

Feeling more emotional

Sadness

Mood changes

Sleep

Sleeping less than usual

Sleeping more than usual

Trouble falling asleep

These symptoms may occur right away or may worsen over minutes or hours after an injury.

Symptoms may be stable or improve with various lengths of time.

Symptoms may last less than a day or may linger for months, or longer.

Causes

A concussion can result from a fall, sports activities, vehicular accidents, assault, or other direct injury to the skull.

A big movement of the brain (called jarring) in any direction can cause a person to lose alertness (become unconscious).

How long the person stays unconscious may be a sign of how bad the concussion is.

Concussions do not always lead to loss of consciousness.

Most people never pass out.

They may describe seeing all white, all black, or stars.

A person can also have a concussion and not realize it.

Exams and Tests

The health care provider will perform a physical exam. The person's nervous system will be checked. There may be changes in the person's pupil size, thinking ability, coordination, and reflexes.

Tests that may be done include:

Blood and urine tests

EEG (brain wave test) may be needed if seizures continue

Head CT (computerized tomography) scan

MRI of the brain (magnetic resonance imaging) of the brain

X-rays

Treatment

For a mild head injury, no treatment may be needed.

But be aware that the symptoms of a head injury can show up later. Your providers will explain what to expect, how to manage any headaches, how to treat your other symptoms, when to return to sports, school, work, and other activities, and signs or symptoms to worry about.

Children will need to be watched and make activity changes.

Adults also need close observation and activity changes.

Both adults and children must follow the provider's instructions about when it will be possible to return to sports.

You will likely need to stay in the hospital if:

Emergency or more severe symptoms of head injury are present

There is a skull fracture

There is any bleeding under your skull or in the brain

Alternative Names

Brain injury

Traumatic brain injury

Closed head injury

Signs: What to watch for according to your child's age

Infants, toddlers, and pre-school aged children (birth to age 4)

Irritability and crying more than usual

Seeking more comfort than usual, like needing to be held

Refusing to nurse or eat

Changes in sleeping patterns, like sleeping more or less than usual

Not wanting to engage in play or usual activities

Needing more help than usual

Showing behavior changes, such as more temper tantrums, sadness, or irritability than usual

Changes in speech, like speaking more slowly than usual

Vomiting right after the injury without other causes, such as a virus

Appearing dazed, confused, and more clumsy than usual or seeming unsteady on their feet

School-aged children and adolescents (ages 5 to 17)

Appearing dazed, stunned, or confused about recent events

Sudden difficulty remembering or concentrating, especially on topics or activities that would otherwise hold their attention

Answering questions more slowly than usual

Appearing more clumsy than usual, seeming unsteady on their feet

Vomiting right after the injury without other causes, such as a virus

Suddenly slowed reaction times

Mood, behavior, or personality changes

The following are emergency symptoms of a more severe head injury or concussion. Seek medical care right away if there are:

Changes in alertness and consciousness

Confusion that does not go away

Seizures

Muscle weakness on one or both sides of the body

Pupils of the eyes that are not equal in size

Symptoms in just one eye

Unusual eye movements

Repeated vomiting

Walking or balance problems

Unconsciousness for a longer period of time or that continues (coma)

Head injuries that cause a concussion often occur with injury to the neck and spine. Take special care when moving people who have had a head injury.

The above are excerpts from this previous post.

And these sources: 1 2 3 4 ⚜ More: Notes ⚜ Writing Resources PDFs

Concussions can present differently for different people, depending on the cause and other factors. Choose which of these references are most appropriate to incorporate in your story, considering your character, plot etc. Hope this helps with your writing! :)
