#do i have diabetes

[swordsandholly]

There’s a smoothie place near where my wife works called Nutrition Smoothie and if you look inside it’s “open”, but there are no smoothie machines and you never see anybody in there except sometimes maybe one guy behind the counter. We have a running gag about what would happen if you tried to go in and actually order something bc it’s so obviously a front.

Anyway, thinking about mafia au!Simon being on counter duty and reader coming in and trying to order something and he’s just staring, mind boggled that she doesn’t notice the obvious lack of smoothie paraphernalia.

Sometimes you go "nyah!" As a tic and people are like "aw that's adorable, I wish I had tourettes!".

And then you tic "I SHAT on your pillow!" with the deepest gravely voice your body can produce and suddenly everyone is uncomfortable.

Please decide if my disability is desirable or not, I need to know what the value is for pricing.

if you. are making a video. you're sitting down to talk to the camera and make a video. shortform video. vertical video. less than a minute. tiktok instagram reel whatever. i have full confidence that you do not fucking need to eat right now. do not start your sentence and then shove an apple slice in your face two words in and keep talking through your apple slice. you're making yourself look so obnoxious and hateable. really truly i know you can put the apple slices to one side for the amount of time it takes to get your sentence out. i believe in you. why don't you believe in yourself

Hey y'all! Another weird question for you: How long do you have to fast for a blood sugar reading to count as a fasting blood sugar measurement? Also, does drinking soda (like, full sugar soda) slowly over the time before the blood test count as not-fasting? Asking because I keep testing* in the fasting blood sugar range when I am pretty sure I am not supposed to. Like, two hours after eating a meal when I've been slowly drinking soda the whole intervening time, or half an hour after drinking a whole full-sugar gatorade *with the home blood sugar test thing, not like doctor's office tests. though I test in the fasting range there too? I do know the word for the tester thing but I am brain fogged at the moment

A 40 year old trans milf is willing to be your sugar mommy, and even pay for you to get slime HTR, the downside is that her sex playlist is nothing but Imagine Dragons, do you accept

Look here, if I'm getting that slime HRT, completely free ride, I'll fucking have the sex playlist be nothing but Lemon Demon's "Two Trucks Having Sex" for 12 hours straight

I'll get freaky with her if it means she's paying, the freak level: ∞ is there for a reason

The freak train stops for nothing if it means getting that sweet fucking slime HRT, I need that fucking shapeshifting and the ability to experiment on "willing" "men", you have no fucking idea

[t1d-culture-is]

T1D culture is...

people asking acquaintances/partner(s)/family about diabetes, instead of asking the person who has it.

Adventures in the American health care system: So my employer changed insurance companies this year, which is of course always a hassle. New Insurer sent a letter saying they do not cover Humalog, the bolus insulin I was on, but I could switch to Novolog or Fiasp. Fine, whatever, I had to switch from Novolog to Humalog when the previous insurer canceled their friendship with Novolog and I actually like Novolog better. So, saw my endocrinologist last Thursday and she put in the Novolog prescription. Comes Sunday, and the prescription is still "processing" at the pharmacy so I call and find out they are "waiting on approval." Turns out New Insurer is demanding a Prior Authorization.

For insulin.

For a type 1 diabetic patient.

For the specific brand of insulin THEY TOLD ME TO GET.

*smackhead*

Meanwhile, I am halfway through my last insulin pen and sending frantic messages and phone calls to the pharmacy and the doctor to get that PA processed so I can avoid rationing my insulin and, y'know, not die.

honestly less bothered by the actual election results (because sure that's the objectively worst part but something i was at least somewhat mentally expecting as a possibility) than by how fucking quickly it got called?? i mean fuck i wasn't expecting another Bush v Gore but at least a day or two of "well we're expecting X but it's still close enough the [various categories of ballot which for some reason or another take longer to count] miiiight change it" but nope!

motherfucker looks to be the first Republican to win the popular vote in decades and even the most generous interpretation of that is "wow a lot of people are more worried about The Economy than uh. literally anything else? really? like i know it's important but of all the shit going down that's your number-one dealbreaker? and. and you genuinely think Casino-Bankrupting Billionaire Cheapskate is going to set policies which help that? and any benefit you get isn't going to be immediately eaten by stuff like higher healthcare costs? well okay good luck with that!" and that's ignoring the people who actively want an openly bigoted asshole in charge.

i guess we all should've called it the second musk's lottery scam got an inch of traction. there's no american tradition quite like falling for stupid bullshit if there's a chance of a cash payout.

[doctor-disc0]

Me googling "low blood sugar" only to find out that it is NOT common or normal for non-diabetic people to experience. I experience it somewhat frequently.
