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.

#I like to think she’s diabetic and needed to even out her blood sugar #he’s like uhhhh shit what the fuck do I do #there’s like 2 bananas #they have one blender but he’s not sure if it even works #he finds some apple juice in the fridge #he gets obsessed with making sure she’s okay bc clearly she can’t take care of herself #simon ghost riley #mafia au #cod #simon ghost riley x reader

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

#prazardous #tiktok #instagram reels #misophonia #i dont have misophonia genuinely i do not care about mouth sounds and chewing noises #and not to sound like a boomer #but close your goddamn mouth when you eat and dont talk with your mouth full #it is so simple and so easy #unless your video is about blood sugar levels and you are diabetic and desperately need to eat right fucking now or you'll die #but you want to give us a glimpse into what that's like so you're recording it and talking about it #actually no i think even in that case you can take two seconds to chew and swallow your food before speaking again

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

#the person behind the yarn #blood mention #food mention #like. obliquely? but sort of there so I tag it just in case #I have a new personal record for lowest blood sugar when testing at home now! 91 #I ate lunch two hours ago had some goldfish crackers after that and have been slowly sipping on a dr pepper #(as well as water I have two drinks going at all times)#and my blood sugar is STILL low #so I am eating some candy and then I will eat more goldfish and make sure I get extra protein with dinner #but seriously what the heck #this is not how blood sugar works for other people right????#it's not just always low but technically not hypoglycemic?????#I do not have diabetes I have been checked for that. a lot. it's probably the second or third most common thing they test me for #but nope whatever my problem is it's not that my body just yearns to yeet nutrients as efficiently as possible without retaining them #salt and sugar both apparently. also vitamin D but that one could just be that I don't go outside much #I take supplements for that it's fine #but there's not really salt and sugar supplements?#okay there are. I take the salt pills. but sugar is iffier. like there are sugar pills but I suspect #that's probably not the best way to increase my blood sugar

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

#diabetic-best-bi #I know the TF kink is probably showing really hard on this post rn #But like #What do you expect from a tgirl who repressed her feelings for who the fuck knows how long #Actions have consequences

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.

#last night had a bit of a scare #took too long to realize how hungry I was #started getting really weak and nauseous #and started sweating so badly. I had been fine 10 minutes before #parents had to get me food because I was too weak to get it myself #dad told me that's what happens to him when his blood sugar is low (he's diabetic)#I'm so confused now why is this happening to me #I mean I always knew I don't do well if I go too long without food but I thought everyone was like that #at least to some extent yk?#apparently not though #apparently fantasy book characters don't have supernatural powers that keep them functioning after skipping two meals #help lol #idk what to do #I'm pretty sure I'm not diabetic because I feel like I would have other symptoms?#and I know that diabetic people usually only have low blood sugar when they take too much insulin #and I don't take insulin because I'm not diabetic #so. idk. what should I do #any advice would be appreciated

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 💪✨

#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

Not lmao #but also: abandonment issues self worth issues guilty conscience issues feeling unworthy of literally everything issues #awful at establishing boundaries #sh issues #(not for like years but its a struggle to not relapse every year esp during winter)#suicidal ideation but at least ive never actually been suicidal #not bc i particularly love being alive but because the fact that i dont know what comes after death scares me too much lmao #even at my lowest of lows i have not wanted to kms SOLELY bc the unknown scares me enough to be like #yeah this sucks but at least i know it #at least it’s like familiar which is sad but still true lma #OH ALSO eating disorder lmao. diabulimia is a thing.#genuinely how have i not been fucking hospitalized #not in a bad way but like. idk how i havent gotten to that point yet #tho to be fair there are multiple points i probably should have been tbh #i just. dont want to worry people? or inconvenience anyone. and i know im not gonna kms so its easy to be like ‘i dont need that’#i have overshared way too much in these tags sorry i’ll stop now #if anyone has actually read all of these: i’m sorry. i love you. i hope you feel better than i do. i hope you smiled today.

they should make a life where you don't have appointments, work, school and scheduled events every single day for months on end

#i just wanna spend like 2 full days rotting in bed is that too much to ask #december i'm going on a vacation with family + gf and we're trying to schedule a lunch/dinner so that we can go over the itinerery #and other stuff like my gf is diabetic so she's going to tell everyone the procedures in case of an emergency etc #and the soonest i'm available for that is oct 20th like bruh #every week day i've got classes 7:30-11:50 work 13:00-17:00 and then gym therapy or futsal practice at night #oh and sometimes the professor that i'm the student assistant (? monitor in pt) for wants me to go to her night classes #and then on weekends i've got futsal practice sat morning usually a match either saturday or sunday legal advice clinic 4x a semester #and then birthdays friend group meetups (with ppl i haven't properly seen in a WHILE so i don't wanna bail) family stuff or gf's family stu #oh and i take care of the finances of our futsal team so there's that as well #and then when i'm free i spend my time with my love (who i mostly see on either day of the weekend and sometimes for dinner on weekdays)#those are my favorite “appointments” i love spending time with her so much but even though we have quite a few staying in dates we also #pretty frequently go out to cafes restaurants parks meet up with mutual friends etc #so like... no bed rotting ever adfdsal #honestly i am not THAT busy compared to some ppl that i know #like i work from home most days of the week commute only 20 min to college am not a part of any study group etc etc #but man... that vyvense sure is working cause i do not think i would be able to do what i do now when my adhd was unmedicated #also i'm thinking of maybe getting a new internship next year cause even though i love my current one it's in public law which atm #is the field i'm thinking of getting into after school but getting into private law in brazil with only public law uni experience is #incredibly difficult. so i wanna be 100% sure i actually want public law. which means experiencing private law.#which means a private law internship #so i'm wondering how the fuck imma be able to pull that off next year #at least it pays much more than my current one! like probably double!#but honestly even with all the shit that i do and wishing i had more time for myself i've actually been so happy lately #i'm learning more at uni than i used to be able to i do pretty well at my internship i've got wonderful friends both old and new #my family is well and we get along like always i switched positions in futsal and am doing suprisingly good as a goalkeeper #and i'm in my first ever relationship. it's been almost 8 months till we made it official and it blows me away how good it's been #like we haven't faught once. disagreed on a couple things sure. but not a single fight and tbh even disagreements are very rare #idk we communicate and give each other grace and i just feel so loved. she knows me so well. i love her so so so so much.#like man just this saturday we were having an early dinner at a bakery. she stopped what she was saying and just stared at me smiling #and like i couldn't hold eye contact. cause she's so so fucking beautiful and she was looking at me with so much love and i had to look awa

Everytime my sensor alarm goes off I get filled with indescribable rage.

Like shut the fuck up why are you making noise I will look when I care to or when it's convenient to me 😭

Why are you so obsessed with me 😭

as a general rule, on average, if americans consistently complain about a food being conceptually weird, gross, and scary, then it probably tastes amazing. or at least inoffensive.

this is because in my experience americans for the most part (give or take a few exceptions by region) think eating literally anything other than beef, chicken, bread, eggs, peanut butter jelly sandwitches, ketchup, and disgusting cloyingly artificial brown sludge soda is insurmountably weird, gross, and scary.

#a lot of people literally refuse to even eat ham or pork #not even for like religious or health reasons #just because they think eating anything but beef and chicken is 'weird and scary and gross'#every time i hear people going on en masse about how 'weird and an acquired taste' something foreign is i go and try it and i'm just like #what the fuck were all of you smoking. where is the unbearable weirdness i am supposed to be experiencing #shoutout to that time i kept hearing about how bizarre a flavor milkis soda is and how intimidating and acquired of a taste #then when i actually try the stuff. it's just fucking peach soda. it's peach soda with a faint tangy yogurtish taste. it makes good floats.#how in the absolute fuck is anything even remotely weird much less gross about this?#unless your concept of what a 'soda' should be is poisoned by a lifetime of the entire soda aisle being filled with nothing but brown sludg #from the same 3 brands that all taste like what would happen if they could distill the concept of diabetes and artificial flavoring syrup #i don't know if other countries have this but there's this weird cultural like mandatory rejection of any 'unusual' food here #way more intense than i've seen from anyone from any other country (though that might just be inexperience with other cultures talking)#people react to the mere suggestion of any food outside a very narrow range with outright disgust and genuine fear and horror #and there's a huge amount of unspoken peer pressure on everyone to also do the same #like you're expected to agree with them and you've breeched some sort of silent social contract if you don't #it's seen as *immoral* almost it feels like #it's difficult to describe unless you've noticed it yourself #americans react to the mere suggestion of eating anything outside of the same 2 meats and handful of fillers the same way #that pearl-clutching aristocrat grandmas react to hearing that people in foreign countries do.. basically anything #it doesnt matter if you're suggesting eating ube cake or suggesting eating live bugs because people will react the same way #everything that's not chicken/beef/ect is as good as bugs to people here #hate this stupid blandass country and how impossible it is to afford any food other than burgers if you're not rich #or blessed with relatives that have any idea how to cook and are at all willing to teach you #cause nother weird thing i've noticed about food culture-or at least wasp food culture-that i haven't seen anywhere else quite the same way #is that if you DO have any relatives that know how to cook then nine times out of ten they will jealously guard their recipes like a dragon #and refuse to share them with anyone #thus taking whatever little cooking knowledge was in the family to their grave #so the opportunity other people usually have for family bonding via passing on recipes? pffft no.#for some reason we seem to actively go out of our way to prevent these things from being passed on #i don't know what the fuck is up with that but i suspect it has something to do with 50's dinner party oneupmanship

its blood test day, and while i know i probably wont get results until next week im making my own lil theories about what ive got

#there's definitely some kind of anemia that i already take iron for but i learned recently that there's also b12 anemia #so it could be that instead but the iron is working well enough #(i wont take today's iron until after the test in case it messes with anything? idk)#and im not set on the diabetes thing bc i dont really have symptoms at all??#but ill let them do it anyway bc idk what else would've fucked with my eye like that??

I hate the US healthcare and insurance system. I don’t know what is going on behind the scenes but if it doesnt get fixed or I can’t find a solution, I’m royally fucked.

For context, I’m a Type 1 Diabetic and I need insulin to live. Since I got diagnosed back in 2017, I’ve been using shots and been prescribed Humalog for my fast acting insulin. Now, for whatever bum-fuck reason, my insurance has just decided to change my insulin??? I’m still prescribed to Humalog, but my latest shipment has been Novolog. This wouldn’t be such a problem except the fact that the Novolog cartridges don’t fit into my pen, making them completely useless. Luckily, I still have plenty of Humalog left, but unless I can find a pen that can fit my new cartridges or get my insurance to stop trying to fuck me over and give me my Humalog left, I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’m fortunately in a fortunate situation, cause I know people who have to deal with the exact same thing except they don’t have enough insulin to last them.

So now I have four boxes of insulin I can’t use, five boxes of Humalog left, an insurance company who won’t give me my actual prescription, and a healthcare system that does not help me in any way.

#fuck the healthcare system #i at least have insulin to last me but if i didnt i actually dont know what i could possibly do #its horrific that there are diabetics that are in that situation #t1d problems #actually t1d #type one diabetes #gonna punch my insurance in the face istg #actually diabetic
