#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.

i think this is my favourite interaction from the whole of trsmp so far

(transcript under the cut)

Bek: Oh yeah, I had a really cool- I had a-

Ros: Oh! Tell me!

Bek: Out of character, I had an idea, right.

Ros: Yes, tell me.

Bek: The other day, right. Um… you should do a subathon, but- but, instead of, like, minutes, it's like- it's like an insulin-a-thon.

Ros: (laughing) No wait, that's so good!

Bek: Like, ten subs, you just-

Ros: Ten subs and I'll inject for this food, or I will DIE.

Bek: (laughing)

Ros: (laughing) Wait! Wait, that's actually hype!

Bek: Oh, um, maybe I… mm, now am I on the hook if something terrible happens to you?

Ros: Oh no, don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

(a pause)

Bek: You- wait- nonono, you have to say "no, I won't do that", that's the--

Ros: Oh!

Bek: --the answer isn't "I won't tell anyone you have said that", it's "I'm not gonna do that", that's- (laughing)

Ros: (laughing) No but wait, it's a smart idea!

Bek: I like the idea- like, I'm more worried that I'd be implicated than you dying.

Ros: Well, like, that- that's a fair logic, you know? I respect it.

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

FUCK this thing

We (me on this current pump) deserved so much better...

do you remember how we used to run....

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

talking about guardian

I have to be nice to the person who destroyed my entire life from the start and is still actively doing so because she’s retarded and incapable of doing bedder like a baby , my guardian is a baby who refuses to move because she doesn’t feel the need to. So I stay in a room my whole life and don’t get any needs met and it threatens to kill me. um I’m pretty sure this counts as torture, I call it neglect and abuse but this is more than what those words convey

[ilkkawhat]

don't get me wrong, i do truly love re-reading my old fics but at the same time it just...saddens me when i remember just how like. easy it used to be for me to write. to write sometimes thousands of words a day. to have posted so many individual fics (even if some of them were less then 1000 words) and to still have all these ideas for chapter fics, sequels, new fics, etc and just....not being able to keep up with my past self just reminds me of what i've lost to deteriorating mental and physical health...and now i'm lucky to write even 100 words in one day

[t1d-culture-is]

T1D culture is...

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

As logical as it may be that hunger is a reaction to high blood sugar because it means all the glucose is sitting in my plasma instead of going into the cells that need it, I still find it really stupid that I get hungry when my blood sugar’s high. Eating’s not going to do me any good right now! It’ll just make things worse!

[tj-crochets]

Hey y'all! Weird question time again, I think I've asked this before but I can't remember Does anyone have a link to any resources or a guide or something on what blood sugar should be for people without diabetes? Both like in general, when fasting, and after meals. I do not have diabetes (I have been tested many times) but tend to what is technically not hypoglycemia but seems to be the low end of normal blood sugar pretty much all the time. Like, I have fasting blood sugar levels when I am not fasting and consistently have low blood sugar symptoms when my blood sugar is in like 80s, but I can't find anything about blood sugar that's not for diabetes

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.
