#pre diabetes

[owlover101-blog]

No one ever talks about pre-diabetic experiences and I think that's sad. It feels like staring into the abyss sometimes

[waynbreylielle]

…

(WARNING: DIABETES TALK AHEAD (Owen mentioned, that’s why I tagged this as “td owen” and “total drama”))

So… I’ve been told I’m pre-diabetic, and so I went on google and searched “type 2 diabetes”. After looking at the symptoms, I figured that that explains why I’m always hungry like Owen, tired as fuck, and my arms and legs inexplicably falling asleep.

What was my reaction to all this?

At first, I was… so sad. (Well, maybe not sad, but I just wanted to cry) But now I’m just… happier. This might be a new normal for me. But I now know my limits much better (surprisingly, in a short amount of time). And it’s not like I can’t do the things I love, like being here or drawing 24/7.

So, hey chat! Someone special told me this, and he told me that everything will be okay, no matter what.

And for all the people like me, on Tumblr, just know that you’re strong. Don’t let anything put you down. You’ve got this. Because everything will be okay for you too. (As long as you try and don’t put yourself down).

We’ve got this

(hehe, I’m feeling better myself after reading my own pep talk)

Went to my doctor yesterday

I haven’t been feeling well this entire month after having that cold the last week of September. My body just hurts constantly, whether I stretch or not, workout or not. My joints hurt, my neck is on fire all the time. And I’ve been having annoying headaches that don’t go away with medications. I’ve also gotten so tired randomly throughout the day, like cannot keep my eyes open tired. I was thinking my vitamin D might be low again.

The NP I saw was so nice and listened to me. We discussed and both agreed I’m likely stressed and not realizing it so my body is displaying the overloading stress I have. Cause really if you asked me I’d say “psh no I’m not stressed I’m perfectly fine.” Except I’m not apparently.

So I got some labs done. When I was at the lab the nurse notified me that there was an order my pcp had put in probably in the summer when I saw her about my neck pain. I didn’t know about the order though, so the nurse asked if I wanted to do that now as well. I said sure, not knowing what the labs were.

Turns out it was to retest my A1c. And lo and behold it has gone up. From 5.7 in March to now 6.0.

I really thought I was doing better with my health. I’ve lost some weight, I’ve stopped eating out a ton, I’m cooking at home more and healthier meals. I don’t understand 🥹. This is going to stress me out even more.

Apparently I’ve been pre diabetic for the past 2/3 years and my last gp surgery just didnt tell me…

When actually that would explain some of the symptoms I’ve been having that both they and my new gp’s have been passing off as “just your fibro”

[ultimatebumblebee]

No one asked but I got diagnosed pre-diabetic so when I mention the gym I'm not trying to flex my gains. Losing weight would be cool but not the crux of it all. I'm also very faintly hoping the exercise keeps me mentally well as I am off my adhd meds.

I finally spoke up about my worsening anxiety so I got put on a new medication which unfortunately the doctor decided I needed to abstain from my 'stimulant' while we waited to see how the anxiety medication took. It's going well but I'm genuinely terrified of reverting back to how I used to be. All the things I thought were depression before my diagnosis were adhd related. I don't want to be sleeping 12hr+ and have no ability to do even basic tasks. It's awful and embarrassing. Keeping a log here helps me self reflect on my day to day even if they seem silly.

I calculated the amount of fat I get in my diet to be…

I had one dream the other day that involved a patient I see every couple of weeks…. But now I forget what happened in the dream lol.

last night I had so many dreams. The first one may have freaked me out. Apparently my HgbA1C was 11.5% and I was like “guess who has diabetes now” and then told myself to go walking more.

Guess who will be taking a walk today and tomorrow? Oof.

also, my last HgbA1C was like 6%, which isn’t diabetes yet (still pre-diabetes) but I do have a check up end of March, so here is hoping the Metformin has continued to work. Even though I’m back on short acting and I’m still so mad. If the diarrhea caused weight loss, I’d be okay with it. But it doesn’t. It’s just annoying 🤬

Living with a chronic disease since 2017 and still like “when am I gonna fuck up now?!”

sigh. Also, wonder if I should start retaking iron again. I hate iron so much, but I’ve been tired and I know so many things cause fatigue, but I haven’t taken iron for 6+ months now.

Yeah, apparently my dreams were telling me to turn on the anxiety.

Blahhhhhh. Back to school work. Synthesizing my 6 multiple myeloma articles and writing up a SOAP note on a pediatric respiratory case study. which, BTW, I DONT DO PEDS!!! (Almost done with the core courses, we move into specialty acute care adult gero soon……… 😱😍❤️)

EXPLODES

[pessimisticprincess]

my glucose test is today 😭 i’m so nervous

[tonitheloftwing]

I love being a pre-med major because I genuinely love learning about the human body & its functions but the assignments can so often be really fucking ableist 😭 (and fatphobic, but that’s another topic)

Like, for my nutrition class, we had to write some quick responses about what lifestyle changes we could make to lower our risk of type 2 diabetes. My response was basically “I know I’m at a high risk for type 2 diabetes-” (or at least I think I am. That might be internalized fatphobia) “-but I can’t really make any lifestyle changes that would be healthy. I’m recovering from an eating disorder so any kind of dieting would be extremely bad for my mental health. And I have severe chronic pain to the point where being on my feet for too long will leave me bedridden for the rest of the day, so I can’t really exercise without being in like 7/10 pain”

Obviously that sucks because I shouldn’t have to give my professor my medical history to justify why I still let myself eat Oreos. But then I was like. WTF would she want someone with diabetes to do for this assignment??? Someone with type 1 would just have to say something like “I don’t have to worry about getting type 2 diabetes because my pancreas already shat itself”, but I cannot imagine how someone with type 2 would feel. Again, I’m not diabetic, but that’s got to feel so horrible?????? Your schoolwork shouldn’t be telling you that it’s your fault that you’re diabetic 😭

Idk that’s just my premed student ramblings for the day. My nutrition prof is mostly okay (she’s only very lightly fatphobic, and did allow me to make accommodations for my eating disorder- otherwise I would have had to keep a diet journal 💀) but if she was more sucky I would not be doing well rn

[evildeerboy]

a little disappointed in kurtis conner making like. the classic “connecting americans eating burger to diabetes” joke. like first of all its never been a funny joke on its own but also no matter what you say to skinny people on this topic they dont believe that like. someone with normal blood sugar/insulin can eat as many burgers as they want and never get diabetes. while someone with insulin resistance can eat the same amount or less burgers and still develop t2 diabetes. bc its fucking genetic not a choice.
