Just some more Still Wakes the Deep blah blah, but omg having just been diagnosed Diabetes type 1 myself recently, it makes me only love and feel for Roy 10X more...

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 💪✨

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.

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

Okay, cursed history time!

So, diabetes is because the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin, or because cells do not have enough/properly functioning insulin receptors. Because of this, glucose (sugars) cannot enter the cells, and makes the blood really sugary.

Well, this excess glucose can be expelled from body through urine. Again- glucose is sugar, it makes things sweet.

Sometime around 1675, there was a method of diabetic testing introduced, in which MD's, testing their patients for diabetes, would sterilize their hands, take urine samples from said patients, dip a finger into the sample, and taste it to see if it was sweet.

MD's just dipped their fingers in your piss and tasted it. If it was sweet, congratulations, you're diabetic.

This was of course before people knew that diseases could be passed through bodily fluids.

This is also why diabetes is also referred to as diabetes mellitus. Mellitus is the Latin word for honey, so this acknowledged the sweetness of the urine, and the high glucose in the blood.

*EXTREME SIDE EYE @ my current health and wellness and fitness kick* are you actually me trying to take care of my body or are you that eating disorder I have been trying to avoid my whole life *grabbing it by the neck and shaking* ANSWER ME

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

excited to be 19 but getting closer to 20 literally has my stomach curdling like milk. like once every couple weeks i have to listen to meditation videos before i sleep bc otherwise I’ll convince myself i’m diabetic or lacking in essential nutrients or some other thing that will mean i have to go out of my way to maintain my health beyond what i do (eat and walk and eat and walk and sleep and eat and walk and sleep) and then i’ll panic and stay up looking up symptoms and get no sleep

Day three of attempt at dieting to lower my a1c and I'm not happy. I'm hungry. I was good at breakfast and only ate a bit of leftover chicken and pico de gallo and the last of the guacamole. Lunch was vegetable soup and one 2 inch square of bread (last of the bread from the Italian place partner went to the other day). By dinner I was very hungry and having bad cramps (thanks lady parts, I still hate you). And since it's still too hot to cook we got burgers because In-N-Out does protein style without buns. I'm still hungry though and the pain pills aren't kicking in so I'm in a bad mood. I'll get used to it eventually, but this is bringing up bad memories.

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.
