This shit is litteraly poison, but so does the food we eat with how much sugar there is in ugh OTL
Never thought in a million year I had DT1, I had 0 symptoms and am in pretty good shape, but then suddenly, organs are starting to hurt really badly out of nowhere...
Don't wait too long poeple and check with your doctors even if there's ''nothing'' T0T and to all Diabetic ppl out there, keep on fighting 💪✨
#random#delete later#first 2 weeks of diagnosis i didn't realized what it meant to live with this#but the 3rd week it really sinked it and i couldn't stop crying everyday#i felt even more like a failure and it made me even more angry that my biological parents left me with that#being adopted i have no medical history and i was already living a quite healthy life style#ofc it could have been even better but now i have to do many extra steps#everything's back to normal now but holy shit that hit me like a truck#plus it was urgent since it had been MONTHS it was left untreated and my family doctor just never told me or bothered to check my blood tes#so ughh idk it sucks with life being already hard as it is#high blood pressure now this... tho theyre probably related#i prepared my bucket list sooo i guess LET'S GO?! jk jk#i'm scared to have a heart attack or stroke in the middle of nowhere where no one i love is around... and that'll be it#but i mean if it happens it happens i guess XD#i'm hopefull now but holy shit... fucking pancreas who just decides to stop working#when you read more about DT1 it just feels like a bad employee who suddenly doesn't want to work anymore#and the good boss cant do anything about it#oh well#as long as i can still create art i'll be fine and happy#diabetic? more like diabethicc

I also found out I have pretty pretty high cholesterol. This wasn't something my doctor flagged for me just 4 years ago when I last had labs, meaning it's a pretty new issue. That checks out since I've always had good cholesterol.
In good news I'm not even in the ballpark of at risk for diabetes which is the one everyone's worried about for me constantly cuz im fat.
Made an appointment with a psych but I can't get in till May. But once I get my vitamin D under control and get on some kind of mental health pills/assistance and get some energy back it'll be a lot easier to exercise. Until then I'm just gonna focus on eating meat and dairy a little more discerningly and drinking more water cuz my labs came back dehydrated too >_>;
I really wish my doctor had given me some more specific instructions than just "go on a diet and exercise" without even asking me about my diet or activity levels but what can you do. Once you're over 300 pounds you're not really a person to a doctor until you've lost half that.
#diet tw#weight#nice to know I don't really need to worry about sugar#i keep getting tested for diabetes cuz everyone wrings their hands at me about it and its literally never been a concern according to tests#its not in my family which is like 80% of it or some crazy number#high cholesterol is in my family but heart attacks arent really#my mom's side is pretty healthy just riddled with addiction which is why i dont fuck around with substances besides a touch of the maryjane#dont know a lot about my bio fathers side except theyre very mentally ill and also very fat#my mom says i look just like my paternal grandmother but i never met her#kind of scary to only know about one side of family history but what can you do#anyway enough with the rambling i have to be up in like 6 hours...

it's always weird to find out something you've heard your entire life is simply untrue. apparently the thing i've always heard about "too much sugar = diabetes" is just completely wrong

Good on the WHO for holding Coca Cola accountable in some way, but I don't want to see anyone giving people who still drink it a hard time. Some people are diabetic. Some people find it helps them with migraines. Some people desperately need caffeine and find it their least objectionable option. If you wouldn't give someone crap for drinking a beer every day, don't jump in to "Um actually" people who choose to drink diet soda
#this may be early for a complaint about it but the 'aspartame causes cancer' factoid has been a thing for a long time now#this is not new information#chances are that ppl drinking diet soda are making an informed choice#I have spent years having to justify drinking diet cola over sugared options bc people keep bringing this up to me#they only lay off when I tell them I have a family history of diabetes#I shouldn't have to disclose my medical history to be left alone over a soda#maybe inform them if they have explicitly expressed concern over finding healthy drink options#but if they haven't brought it up just let them drink

"You don't look disabled/trans/bi/like a guy/sick/diabetic/mentally ill/neurodivergent/autistic/in pain"
*Fucking smacks you with my big paws*
#dorian speaks#for a lot of these it's just dealing with bigotry/blatant ignorance#and many people won't even listen to you if you try to explain#they'll just believe their own assumptions to be true#and as a result - they'll “suggest” things that are legitimately harmful/don't apply whatsoever#this has been particularly true for me being a T1 diabetic#and people not knowing how hugely different it is from T2 diabetes in most ways#like... T1 is something you couldn't HOPE to prevent if you tried and it can happen to literally anybody - it's AUTOIMMUNE#I don't have any known family history of ANY diabetes and I got it#people will assume I'm not “allowed” to take any spaces for the disabled#just because they don't see my disability (T1D... chronic joint pain... foot injury that won't heal due to circumstances... etc)#and people have specific beliefs of what LGBTQIA+ people “should look like” or whatever which is just... don't.#The “you don't look neurodivergent/autistic” shit is something a lot of people deal with#If you had seen me as a kid you'd definitely think I'm autistic (actually a lot of people did but only as a reason to bully me)#But like... do you expect me to act/behave/have the same experiences my ENTIRE life without ANY changes whatsoever?#You do realize people learn to cope/adapt to some stuff... right? The experiences will differ throughout life. Each person is different#Nobody bothered to diagnose me when I was still a kid and my country doesn't diagnose adults at all so... fun times being taken seriously#I won't “look” neurodivergent or even mentally ill because there's this little thing called MASKING#and I had to learn to do that to keep myself safe for much of my life (from judgement/abuse/etc)#which has brought its own challenges#People don't have to look/sound/behave/outwardly seem like they're something or dealing with something to be valid#Idk how to phrase any of this any better but I feel like a lot of this is stuff people have experienced to some extent

i realllly hope my doctor isnt gonna be one of those ones that automatically dismisses my concerns because i have a suspicion as to what might be wrong with me. sorry for having a vague idea of what organs cause what problems and also what diseases run in my family.
#got a family history of diabetes tho so at least im not walking in like. trying to diagnose myself with something out of left field.#which i dont think would be a problem either but you know how doctors are.

How Genetics Affects Type 2 Diabetes?
This article is originally published on Freedom from Diabetes website , available here. You want to know, is type-2 diabetes is genetic or not? The answer is yes. But it is depend upon some factors. It is something in your environment that actually triggers it. For proof, we can look at identical twins. They have identical genes. Yet if one twin gets type 2 diabetes, the other twin's risk is three in four at most. Lets understand genetic diabetes symptoms?
Frequent need to visit the washroom.
Increase in appetite
Fatigue
Lack of clarity in vision
Repeated infections
healing wounds
Now the question is type 2 diabetes genetic, can it be reversed or not. To know it please click here. If you found this blog useful, please recommend it and share it with others!
Also please connect with me on my website, Facebook page, and YouTube if you want to stay in touch or give me any feedback!
Thank you!

Forcing myself to eat food that's good for my body when I get the munchies
#lee speeps#this soup can fit so much orzo and lentils in it#I wanna make doughnuts so bad but I had ice cream today so i must resist the urge#tomorrow night i will make the donuts tomorrow#only one treat a day bc i need to fix my boundaries with food and only indulge on occasion#i hope to phase more processed sugar out of my regular diet#this family history of diabetes and my horrid eating habits from the last 3 years have me spooked#need to change if i wanna live for more than 40 years

i will not binge even though i feel like shit already i will not binge even though i feel like shit already i simply will not i am master of my own destiny
#i have the choice between suffering. and suffering but with the fleeting joy of the sugar getting to my brain.#now that i think of it#i should perhaps check if maybe all that sugar hasn't activated the family history of diabetes#bc maybe it's psychosomatic or smth but actually yeah perhaps feeling like garbage after every meal is indicative of some stuff#broadcasting my misery#vent#ed tw
