guys if i'm being so real. being diabetic IS having an eating disorder. like, there is no way of being diabetic that does not include disordered eating. and that's not even counting the diabetes-specific eating disorders that we have names for, like diabetic bulimia. like i feel like there should be a name for the relationship between the diabetic, the food that they eat, and the body they put it in. but right now we just call it "diabetes" and it's just a washed over part of the process of being alive with this shit

Child takes a miscalculated step back and he tumbles down the stairs; this the end, he thinks, imagining his body folding against the steps, his head collapsing in when he hits the landing-

-but Zhongli catches him, solid arms secured around his body, his golden gaze bearing down upon Childe. They are bright with relief and a hint of amusement.

Childe takes a small gasp, the breath knocked out of his lungs. Fallen right into the hands of a god, he thinks, his face growing red.

Childe thinks he’s really gone to heaven now, when Zhongli curls his fingers into his hair, righting him by his waist as he pulls him closer for a slow, sweet kiss, his hand never stopping their soothing ministrations. Childe melts, letting go as he irresistibly sinks into the embrace. The thought of almost breaking his neck just moments ago is swiftly forgotten.

"Careful, my love," Zhongli’s tone mirrors the glint in his eyes. "Watch where you step,"

Childe nods, unable to comprehend anything. The cliche, his clumsiness- it makes him blush once more. "Thanks," he mumbles, his legs still feeling a little too weak to support his weight, and he lets Zhongli help him to the nearest chair.

Die for you (Wriothesley)

Originally written for a friend, modified to suit readers. Wriothesley x fem! reader, no warnings needed, just pure fluff and diabetes I guess (Wriothesley + tension = best combo) Word count: 1379 --- I’m finding ways to articulate the feelin’ I’m going through

He knows she’s watching him. He can see it from the corner of his eyes. The Duke is perceptive after all, he is able to observe his surroundings easily. Why is it that any room he steps into, he looks for her first? Why is it when he scans the crowd he wants to see her figure?

I just can’t say I don’t love you

She watches him from a distance, afraid to get close and let her feelings slip. Clamy hands, flushed face, increased heartrate…she is no fool, she knows she’s fallen for him.

Cause I love you

He straightens his tie and clears his throat, not to the words coming out of the Pankraton ring’s manager’s mouth, but because he’s starting to feel like he’s suffocating from her eyes on him. He wants her attention, he wants her gaze yet he cannot handle it well.

It’s hard for me to communicate the thoughts that I hold

How many times has he tried to say something to her but only fail miserably? He has lost count about the amount of times he has nearly blurted out how he feels and covered it up with some nonsense that somehow sounded convincing to her.

But tonight I am gon’ let you know

How long is he going to continue hiding it from her? It's been weeks, months even. Why was he so afraid of letting her know? It's not like he was going to perish if she rejected him. He manages to finish his conversation with the manager and turns in her direction finally, only to see her gone. She left...

Let me tell the truth

He calls her to his office that night. And to his surprise she doesn't refuse, nor does she question it. He had asked a guard to forward his request to her in the dormitories and she sent back a message saying she agreed. Frankly, he wasn't sure if this was the right way to do this but he didn't what else to do. He needed an answer from her in the privacy of his office just in case things didn't go the way he wanted.

You know what I'm thinkin' see it in your eyes

The office door closes behind her and silence falls. She can hear the soft music of the gramophone playing and the rustling of papers but aside from that it is dead silent. The sudden change of atmosphere from the noisy machines outside makes her nervous and all the physical signs of her feelings rush back into her body. Slowly she walks up the stairs and finally faces him, the very man that's been playing with her heart. Neither knows that the moment they make eye contact, their heart rates shoot up beyond understanding.

You hate that you want me, hate it when you cry, you're scared to be lonely, specially in the night

It is for the first time she notices that he is breathing more heavily than usual. His face is flushed and he pulls on his tie continuously, fidgeting with it. Neither have broken eye contact yet.  These signs..., she thinks to herself, is he...? Does he feel the same way I do? Her eyes widen and she tightly clasps her hands. No...no way...

I'm scared I will miss you, happens everytime, I don't want this feeling, I can't afford love

He finally looks away and clears his throat. What should he say? What can he say? He pretends to look through a document and audibly mumbles a hi. She greets him back in a shy manner and silence falls once more. Unable to handle the fast beating of her heart she attempts small talk.

“So you wanted to see me?”

I try to find reason to pull us apart

��Yeah regarding your jail release papers.”

Lies. That was not why he wanted to see her. Here he was, avoiding the topic once again, just as he had been for the past few months. The woman curiously looks at him and tilts her head.

“Your Grace my sentence is not complete for another twenty years…I killed my friend’s perpetrator, remember?”

“Oh.” 

Of course, how could he forget? When he had first seen her papers he was immediately fascinated at the willpower she had exercised to commit such an act. A lifetime of jail and yet she chose to go this far. Somehow it reminded him of his own story…

It ain’t workin’ ‘cause you’re perfect and I know that you’re worth it

He slams the document down on the table and she flinches. He was upset at himself, frustrated at himself for being so stupid and silly. Why was he behaving like this? How hard was it to say three words?! 

“Y-your Grace…?”

He realises she was still in front of him and gets up to apologise. She watches him press the temples of his head before sighing.

“Forgive me, I just- this doesn’t have anything to do with you.”

She nods but her eyes are still wide. Something is off about him, she notes. I think he likes me but this is just…unexpected.

I can’t walk away, oh

“You.”

He walks around his table and finally stands in front of her. His heart is racing and his face is flushed again but he pushes through. She watches him, observing all his features, his large muscular biceps, the way his chest heaves up and down, the way his shirt is so tight that one button is all it would take to pop it off…she observes everything except his eyes. She can’t look into them no matter how hard she tries.

“There is something I would like you to know.”

He continues slowly. She blinks and he takes it as a sign to continue.

Even though we’re goin’ through it and it makes you feel alone, just know that I would die for you.

“I, I like you.”

He slowly says, exhaling with each other almost as if making sure he’s saying it correctly. She takes a step back out of shock and stares at him, her heart rate absolutely out of this world and her face so red even a tomato would be put to shame. His fists are balled up, afraid of rejection and afraid to know her reaction. The anxiety that races through him is one he has never felt. A few moments of silence follows as he waits for her answer.

Baby I would die for you, yeah

“I…I like you to your Grace…”

She shyly says while fidgeting with her fingers. She stares at the ground and her hair forms a curtain preventing her face from being seen. It’s a good thing he cannot see the cheeky smile she has on her face which has formed from amusement and disbelief. He stares at her in shock, not believing the words coming out her mouth.

The distance and the time between us, it’ll never change my mind ‘cause 

“You like me too?”

He asks her wanting to make sure he’s hearing it right, that this isn’t some hallucination of his from the twenty cups of tea he drinks. She stands tall and finally looks into his eyes with conviction.

“I like you. Very much.”

Baby I would die for you

“Well its a good thing we both feel the same way.”

He chuckles and smirks, the anxiety and nervousness vanishing as if it was never there in the first place. She smiles at how he returns to his normal self.

“So what are we?”

“Feelers.”

“Your Grace!”

“Call me Wriothesley, that title sounds too formal coming from you.”

“As you wish…Wriothesley.”

They both chuckle and she takes a step closer. He looks at her in confusion, unsure what she was planning. She tilts her head upwards and tiptoes causing his lips to almost touch hers. They both look at each other for a moment before letting go of the hesitation. He finds his arms snake around her waist automatically and hers wrapping around his neck. In the privacy of the office, no one would interrupt their kiss.

Baby I would die for you, yeah.

How I'd Imagine Type 1 Diabetes to be Handled in Teyvat

if anyone has any questions, comments, other ideas, etc, that they'd like to share, by all means go ahead!

possible cws/tws: mentions/non-gorey imagery of needles & cannulas, brief mentions of blood

insulin is made through [bio]alchemy ; I'm not specifically sure which branch would be most likely to take the genetic engineering approach (inspired by how it's made here, typically through genetic engineering or something called Recombinant DNA)

since Fontaine seems to be invention-creation central & the nation that comes out with new creations like the Kamera, they would be responsible for creation of the tech side of having t1d, such as insulin pumps

prior to them creating insulin pumps, insulin was only administered through manual injections (needle tw: 1 / 2)

Fontaine has created the Teyvat equivalents of the following diabetic supplies:

insulin pumps with tubing (1 / 2 / diagram)

lancet devices (which are used to prick yourself and draw blood in order to test your blood sugar) (1 / 2)

meters + testings strips to actually test your blood sugar (meter: 1 / 2 ; strips ; 1)

I doubt they'd be able to create all of the tech we use today, since they don't seem to have the wireless technology & bluetooth to make tubless pumps (1 ; the only tubeless one that exists at the moment is the Omnipod) or continuous glucose monitors (CGMS) (1 / 2- the sensor is on the left)

however, I'd like to think that if/when they do figure out the technology to actually make those, they'd be made around the same time

Misc. HCs

Lively Orlean is type 1 diabetic (to me) (she mentions her blood sugar being low and while non-diabetics can get hypoglycemic episodes/symptoms [which are caused by a low blood sugar],, come on /lh) (I'd say it's canon but I fear getting yelled at even if I'm right /lh)

Baizhu, being a pharmacist who most definitely sells insulin, is very knowledgeable on diabetes- 1, 2, and the sub-categories-that-idk-much-abt-and-therefore-won't-list

going off vibes alone I'd like to think Verr Goldett also is very familiar with it

maybe either a family member/friend of hers has it, or she herself has it

I think Barbara knows the basics at best but is learning quite a bit about it, primarily how to help treat hypoglycemic / hyperglycemic episodes, Ketoacidosis, and how to administer glucagon

Managing diabetes during pregnancy with insulin is crucial to ensure the health of both the mother and the baby. Proper insulin therapy can help control blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of complications, such as premature birth and birth defects.

Vegan Meal Planning Guide & Tips with GlucoTrust

In today's world, embracing a vegan lifestyle is more than just a trend—it's a commitment to health, the environment, and ethical living. Whether you're new to veganism or a seasoned plant-based eater, meal planning can be a game-changer in maintaining a balanced diet. As we dive into this guide, I'll provide you with essential tips and insights to make vegan meal planning both effective and enjoyable.

Key Takeaways

Vegan diets are linked to improved heart health and weight management.

Common vegan challenges include nutritional deficiencies which can be managed with proper planning.

Essential vegan staples include whole grains, legumes, nuts, and a variety of fruits and vegetables.

Effective meal planning involves creating balanced meals, batch cooking, and proper storage techniques.

Incorporating supplements like GlucoTrust can support overall health and manage blood sugar levels.

Vegan Meal Planning 101

Vegan meal planning is all about ensuring you get a variety of nutrients from plant-based sources. It's not just about eliminating animal products; it's about embracing a wide array of foods that provide essential vitamins and minerals.

Benefits of a Vegan Lifestyle

Adopting a vegan lifestyle offers numerous benefits, not only for your health but also for the planet. Studies show that a vegan diet can lead to lower cholesterol levels, reduced risk of heart disease, and better weight management.

"A well-planned vegan diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, providing ample fiber, antioxidants, and phytonutrients." - Nutrition Expert

Besides health benefits, veganism is also an ethical choice that reduces animal suffering and environmental impact. By choosing plant-based foods, you contribute to a more sustainable world.

Overcoming Common Vegan Challenges

While veganism has its perks, it also comes with challenges, particularly regarding nutritional intake. Some common concerns include getting enough protein, vitamin B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids.

To overcome these challenges, it's crucial to diversify your food choices. Incorporate a variety of legumes, nuts, seeds, and fortified foods to meet your nutritional needs. Additionally, consider supplements for nutrients that are harder to obtain from a vegan diet.

Essential Vegan Staples for Every Kitchen

Stocking your kitchen with the right ingredients is the first step towards successful vegan meal planning. Here are some essentials to keep on hand:

Whole grains: quinoa, brown rice, oats

Legumes: lentils, chickpeas, black beans

Nuts and seeds: almonds, chia seeds, flaxseeds

Fruits and vegetables: leafy greens, berries, avocados

Plant-based proteins: tofu, tempeh, seitan

Strategies for Effective Vegan Meal Planning

With the right strategies, vegan meal planning can be straightforward and rewarding. Here are some tips to get you started:

Creating a Balanced Meal Plan

A balanced meal plan ensures you get all the nutrients your body needs. Aim to include a variety of food groups in each meal. For instance, a typical plate could include:

A serving of whole grains

A portion of plant-based protein

A generous helping of vegetables

Healthy fats from nuts or avocados

Remember, balance is key. By diversifying your meals, you not only enjoy a range of flavors but also cover your nutritional bases.

How to Build a Weekly Vegan Menu

Building a weekly menu helps streamline your grocery shopping and meal prep. Start by planning your meals around seasonal produce, which is often fresher and more affordable. Consider these steps:

Choose a theme for each day (e.g., Taco Tuesday, Stir-fry Saturday).

Include a variety of cuisines to keep meals exciting.

Plan for leftovers to save time and reduce waste.

With a clear menu, you'll find it easier to stick to your vegan diet and enjoy every meal.

What is GlucoTrust?

GlucoTrust is a natural supplement designed to support healthy blood sugar levels. It's crafted from a blend of ingredients known for their ability to enhance glucose metabolism and improve overall well-being. This supplement can be especially beneficial for those on a vegan diet, as it helps address some common nutritional gaps.

One of the standout features of GlucoTrust is its plant-based formulation, which aligns perfectly with vegan principles. It contains a mix of herbs and nutrients that work together to stabilize blood sugar, thereby supporting energy levels and reducing cravings.

Benefits of GlucoTrust for Vegan Diets

Integrating GlucoTrust into a vegan diet can offer several advantages. Firstly, it helps maintain steady blood sugar levels, which is crucial for preventing energy crashes and managing weight. This is particularly important for vegans, as plant-based diets can sometimes lead to fluctuations in blood sugar due to the high carbohydrate content of many vegan foods.

Furthermore, GlucoTrust provides essential nutrients that might be lacking in a typical vegan diet. For instance, chromium, one of its key components, plays a vital role in insulin function and glucose metabolism. By ensuring adequate intake of such nutrients, GlucoTrust supports overall metabolic health and well-being.

Integrating GlucoTrust into Daily Meals

Incorporating GlucoTrust into your daily routine is straightforward. It's recommended to take it with meals to enhance its effectiveness. You can simply add it to your morning smoothie or take it alongside your breakfast to kickstart your day with balanced energy levels.

Shopping Tips for Vegan Meal Planning

Shopping for vegan meals doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. With the right strategies, you can fill your pantry with nutritious ingredients without breaking the bank. Here are some tips to guide you:

Firstly, focus on whole foods. These are not only more nutritious but often cheaper than processed vegan alternatives. Stock up on staples like beans, lentils, whole grains, and seasonal produce. Buying in bulk can also save you money in the long run.

Another tip is to plan your meals around sales and discounts. Check weekly flyers for deals on fresh produce and vegan-friendly products. This approach ensures variety in your meals while keeping costs down.

Budget-Friendly Vegan Grocery Tips

Eating vegan on a budget is entirely possible with a little planning. Here are some practical tips:

Buy seasonal produce: It's cheaper and often more flavorful.

Opt for store brands: They usually offer the same quality at a lower price.

Use coupons and loyalty programs: They can lead to significant savings over time.

By being strategic with your purchases, you can enjoy a diverse and delicious vegan diet without overspending.

Reading Labels for Hidden Animal Products

When shopping for vegan products, it's essential to read labels carefully. Some items may contain hidden animal-derived ingredients, such as gelatin, casein, or shellac. Familiarize yourself with common non-vegan additives to avoid unintentional consumption.

Local Markets vs Supermarkets

Choosing between local markets and supermarkets can impact both your budget and the quality of your food. Local markets often offer fresher produce and unique vegan products that you might not find in larger stores. Supporting local farmers also promotes sustainable practices.

However, supermarkets provide convenience and a broader range of options. They often carry a variety of vegan brands and products, making it easier to find everything you need in one place. For those interested in planning meals, a complete vegan meal plan can be a helpful resource. Ultimately, the choice depends on your priorities and lifestyle.

Maintaining Nutritional Balance in a Vegan Diet

Protein — Lentils, chickpeas, tofu — 50-60g

Iron — Spinach, quinoa, pumpkin seeds — 18mg

Vitamin B12 — Fortified cereals, nutritional yeast — 2.4μg

Omega-3 Fatty Acids — Chia seeds, flaxseeds, walnuts — 1.1-1.6g

Maintaining a balanced vegan diet requires attention to certain nutrients that are more challenging to obtain from plant sources. Protein and iron are two such nutrients, crucial for muscle repair and oxygen transport, respectively.

To meet your protein needs, incorporate a variety of plant-based proteins into your meals. Legumes, tofu, and tempeh are excellent choices that provide all essential amino acids.

Iron, on the other hand, is best absorbed when consumed with vitamin C-rich foods. Pairing spinach with bell peppers or quinoa with tomatoes can enhance iron absorption significantly.

Importance of Protein and Iron

Protein is vital for building and repairing tissues, making it an essential component of a vegan diet. Fortunately, there are plenty of plant-based options to choose from. Consider adding lentils, chickpeas, and black beans to your meals for a protein boost.

Iron, equally important, helps transport oxygen throughout the body. Vegans can meet their iron needs by consuming foods like spinach, quinoa, and pumpkin seeds. To enhance absorption, pair these with vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruits and bell peppers.

By focusing on these nutrients, you can ensure your vegan diet supports your overall health and vitality.

Vitamins and Supplements to Consider

While a well-planned vegan diet can provide most nutrients, certain vitamins and supplements might be necessary to fill any gaps. Vitamin B12, for instance, is primarily found in animal products, so vegans should consider fortified foods or supplements.

Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids, essential for brain health, can be obtained from flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts. However, a supplement like algal oil might be beneficial for those who struggle to meet their needs through food alone.

Watching Out for Common Deficiencies

Being aware of potential deficiencies is crucial for maintaining health on a vegan diet. Besides vitamin B12 and omega-3s, keep an eye on calcium, vitamin D, and zinc intake. Fortified plant milks, sunlight exposure, and a variety of nuts and seeds can help address these concerns.

Regular check-ups and blood tests can also provide insight into your nutritional status, allowing you to adjust your diet or supplement regimen as needed.

Continuing Your Vegan Journey

Embarking on a vegan journey is an exciting adventure filled with new flavors and health benefits. It's a lifestyle choice that aligns with ethical values and environmental consciousness. However, like any journey, it's essential to have a plan and a support system to stay on track and motivated.

Finding Community Support

Being part of a community can make a significant difference in maintaining your vegan lifestyle. Whether it's joining a local vegan group or participating in online forums, connecting with like-minded individuals provides encouragement and shared experiences.

Here are some ways to find community support:

Attend local vegan meetups or potlucks.

Join online forums and social media groups dedicated to veganism.

Engage with vegan influencers and bloggers for tips and inspiration.

Having a community not only offers support but also exposes you to new ideas and recipes, making your vegan journey more enjoyable and sustainable.

Experimenting with New Recipes

One of the joys of veganism is the opportunity to experiment with a variety of ingredients and cuisines. Trying new recipes keeps your meals exciting and ensures you don't fall into a dietary rut. Explore different cultural dishes and adapt them to be vegan-friendly. For example, try making a plant-based version of your favorite curry or pasta dish. The possibilities are endless, and experimenting in the kitchen can lead to discovering new favorites.

Progress Tracking and Reflection

Tracking your progress is a powerful tool for staying motivated and acknowledging your achievements. Keep a journal of your meals, how you feel physically and mentally, and any challenges you encounter. Reflecting on your journey helps identify areas for improvement and celebrates your successes. Regularly reviewing your progress reinforces your commitment and reminds you of the reasons you chose a vegan lifestyle in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Adopting a vegan lifestyle often comes with questions, especially regarding nutrition and meal planning. Here are some common inquiries and their answers to help guide your journey.

How can I ensure enough protein intake on a vegan diet?

Protein is crucial for muscle repair and overall health. On a vegan diet, you can obtain protein from a variety of plant-based sources such as lentils, chickpeas, tofu, and quinoa. Including a mix of these foods in your daily meals ensures you get all essential amino acids. Aim for a balanced plate with protein-rich foods at each meal to meet your daily requirements.

Are there specific vegan foods that help manage blood sugar levels?

Certain vegan foods are excellent for managing blood sugar levels. High-fiber foods like oats, beans, and leafy greens slow down sugar absorption, keeping levels stable. Additionally, incorporating healthy fats from avocados and nuts can aid in blood sugar control. Pair these foods with GlucoTrust, a supplement designed to support healthy glucose metabolism, for optimal results.

What are the best sources of vitamin B12 for vegans?

Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal products, making it a critical nutrient for vegans to monitor. Fortified foods such as plant milks, breakfast cereals, and nutritional yeast are excellent sources of B12. Alternatively, consider a B12 supplement to ensure adequate intake and prevent deficiencies.

How often should I include GlucoTrust in my diet?

Incorporating GlucoTrust into your daily routine can support balanced blood sugar levels. It's typically recommended to take GlucoTrust once a day with a meal. Consistency is key, so choose a time that fits seamlessly into your schedule, such as breakfast or lunch, to maximize its benefits.

What should I do if I experience deficiencies despite meal planning?

If you suspect nutritional deficiencies, it's important to address them promptly. Start by reviewing your meal plan to ensure it includes a variety of nutrient-rich foods. If deficiencies persist, consider consulting with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian. They can provide personalized advice and recommend appropriate supplements to restore your nutrient balance.

Childe watching Zhongli from his window upstairs, head in his hand, elbow resting on the sill, his gaze goes wherever the consultant walks- the flower shop, the bakery, down the street past the fountain. To his dismay, Zhongli disappears from view when he strays into a stationery store, but only momentarily, before reappearing with a small paper bag in hand.

Childe watches Zhongli stroll leisurely down the street, taking in the pastel buildings, meandering waterways and lush flower-sprinkled shrubbery.

Zhongli remains unbeknownst to Childe's eyes. His steps are unhurried and relaxed.

A smile tugs on the corner of Childe's lips, taking in the sight of his lover making his way back to their accommodation with flowers, breakfast and a quaint package in his arms, like he would on occasional weekends back in Liyue. His smile widens till it hurt, and he presses his face into his hand as his gaze seems to blur. He quickly blinks, clearing his vision to catch the last of Zhongli disappearing into their building lobby.

Zhongli appears not long after. A fond expression graces his features at the sight of Childe coming up to greet him. "You're awake," Zhongli kisses his forehead. He runs a gloved hand over his bare shoulder, lips chasing after with another kiss to his skin.

"You've been busy," Childe returns the smile, setting aside the flowers and bakes. "What have you got there?" he peers into the paper bag and retrieves a copy of Fables de Fontaine.

"If you're not busy today, I was thinking we could read this together." Zhongli sheds his coat and gloves with an air of elegance that makes Childe's heart flutter, with envy and admiration all at once.

They put aside the flowers in a vase and take their time with breakfast, before squeezing onto the settee by the window. They make it one-third into the book, but Childe eventually doses off, head resting in the crook of Zhongli's neck.

It is a slow, lazy day in Fontaine- a rare one amidst Childe's hectic schedule. They take their time drifting through the hours as Childe basks in the attention of his lover, soaking up every second and leaving none to waste.
