idk who needs to hear this but diabetics can have sugar. they can have as much sugar as they want as long as they take the appropriate amount of insulin. the only reason diabetics are ever told to lower their sugar intake is to reduce the amount of insulin they use. and almost every sugar free alternative sweetener is either a literal carcinogen or insanely expensive. not to mention the fact that sugar is naturally occurring in every. single. thing. you. eat.

#leave diabetics alone challenge #write ur diabetic characters eating whatever they want and bolusing accordingly #and stop denying children halloween candy and birthday cake because you’ve convinced yourself sugar will kill them #t1d #type 1 diabetes #t2d #type 2 diabetes #type 3 diabetes #type one diabetes #weird and niche rant

it is not controversial to say that if you cannot finacially, emotionally provide for a child and/or your genetics would lead to them suffering then you should not have said child.

once again everyone thinking ‘past good’ is foolishly and arrogantly unable to image themselves as among the 50% of children who did not live into adulthood

#maybe im just biomedicine pilled but please god get a grip #before about eighty years ago every single person with type one diabetes died #they just died as children or adolescents or sometimes young adults #there was nothing you could do except watch your child die a slow and painful death #waste away into nothing #dead certain that like the richest thirteenth century noblewoman or whatever would give up all her wealth and luxury #to live in a world where smallpox had been eradicated and she didn't have to fear for her childrens lives #kim wexler voice picture it... REALLY picture it #a world without vaccines sanitation anesthetics antibiotics antivirals blood transfusions #chemotherapy immunotherapy radiation treatment x rays CT scans MRIS #without a basic knowledge of how diseases are spread and where they come from without antimalarias and antihelminthics #without any sort of meaningful medical testing without surgeries or anything like the ability to medically transition it #you literally cannot imagine it #and of course the fact that our medical advancements aren't available to everyone across the world because of capitalism is horrific #it is nothing if not a crime against humanity #but that problem won't be solved by pretending cornelia mother of the gracchi wouldn't have chosen to live #in a world where 9 of her 12 children didn't die if she could #9 out of 12 children. god. really picture it. can you? #i can't and i am thankful for that

I always think.... in a end of the world situation, how are people supposed to get insulin? Do diabetics just have to die immediately? Even if there's food and everything else, they would technically not survive.

That's what's happening in Gaza already. While we have all the insulin we need on the other side and while israelis block and bomb aid trucks.

#no doubt there are some children whose remaining parent is diabetic #so does the parent slowly die over something so petty and have to leave their kids as orphans? #like...... #meanwhile TUMBLR is recomending me pro israel posts from small zionist accounts #this site barely works but it can push ugly israeli propaganda

type 2 diabetes can be treated without insulin. im just on metaformin and some other medications, no insulin pump/injections yet thankfully

OH this ask reminds me to mention I've been looking at cat diabetes from the corner of my eyes as I work on 4435435 other things (send help)

Cat diabetes has very different trends than human diabetes, so I'm trying to hit a 'balance' between reflecting it for the diabetic human beings in the audience, versus the accuracy of cat diabetes

Because, Type 2 Diabetes in cats is treated the same way as Type 1-- insulin injections. Unlike humans who can take oral supplements like metformin, pancreas-affecting medications have a weird quirk in felines where they cause the cat pancreas to throw a tantrum, say "I DUN WANNA" and swap over to Type 1 Diabetes.

Meanwhile if you just treat Type 2 Feline Diabetes with insulin, the cat pancreas can sometimes go "oh oopsie woopsie" and just... stop having diabetes.

Why, you ask, you beg, does the cat pancreas act this way? Science doesn't know. Their organs are just jerks.

So that leaves me sitting here considering what to do-- because Metformin specifically is derived from Goat's Rue. Naturalized basically everywhere. Dangling right in front of my nose is the easy pharmacognological basis of Metformin, the specific thing that the Type 2 Diabetics in my audience have been telling me they take, and this solution is so simple it's almost painful.

But off in the horizon looms Type 1 Diabetes, which logically would be the one way the cats would want to treat all forms of diabetes... and I still need to work out how exactly they're going to get this INTO the patient while still being canon-compliant.

The earliest IVs were made of bladders and feathers, incredibly crude but still effective, and both of which are easy to get... maybe a cat was taken by a human and given an IV injection and that's where they got the spark of the idea? Long ago?

And making insulin... I've found some absolutely fascinating things about the early production of insulin, but the problem is the chemical separation of animal insulin from the digestive juices produced within the pancreas.

I think a cat with their sense of smell just doing dissections, with a LIIITTLE bit of an extra stretch, could tell there was something different about the islet structures inside of the organ... but how would they know the pancreas is connected to the development of diabetes? Would they be able to experiment enough to find out that freezing the pancreas separates the digestive enzymes from the insulin?

I'm still batting it all around though

Hey Everyone! Some of my good friends are running their yearly charity gaming stream today and tomorrow (Nov 4th and 5th 2023) for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. The money raised will go to support hospitals in the area and the life-saving work they do everyday. This is extra special to my friend (and me) because these very same hospitals saved my friends life when she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 12. Their goal is $2,500 and any donation no matter how small would be appreciated! You can also come watch the stream on twitch on the Geek Therapy channel.

Double Whammy

According to Diabetes UK 4.3 million people in Britain have diabetes, 90% of these having the avoidable type 2 diabetes. Diabetes costs the NHS £10 billion a year, and in some hospitals over a quarter of beds are taken up by  people with diabetes. The number of people with diabetes has doubled in the last 15 years and is continuing to rise.

The great tragedy of type 2 diabetes is that it is largely avoidable. 

“Research shows that living with obesity is the single greatest risk factor, and accounts for 80-85% of someone's risk of developing the condition, and our previous data revealed that the number of people living with obesity in England has almost doubled in the last 20 years from 6.9 to 13 million."  (Diabetes UK: 05/04/21)

One of the major causes of obesity is the consumption of ultra-processed foods such as mass produced bread, pre-packaged meals, breakfast cereals, sausages and other reconstituted meat products, yoghurts with sweeteners or stabilizers, chicken nuggets, frozen meals, crisps, soft drinks, biscuits, etc.

We may think we can avoid ultra-processed foods but the evidence suggests otherwise. According to the Guardian (02/02/18):

“Half of all the food bought by families in the UK is now “ultra-processed”, made in a factory with industrial ingredients and additives invented by food technologists and bearing little resemblance to the fruit, vegetables, meat or fish used to cook a fresh meal at home."

As bad as ultra-processed foods are for adult health, think how much worse they must be for the heath of developing children, yet

“Almost a third of baby and toddler foods sold in the UK are ultra-processed, risking children’s long-term health and development."  (Guardian: 08/05/23)

This Tory government has known about the links between ultra-processed foods and the rise in diabetes for years.

“MPs have criticised the Department of Health and the NHS in England for being "too slow" to act in preventing and treating diabetes… Being overweight is the main risk factor for type 2 diabetes, and 90% of adults with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese.” (BBC: 22/01/16)

Despite this knowledge, the government, rather than introducing policies to wean people off ultra-processed food, is actively promoting its consumption. As recently as February this year Sunak’s Tory government was recommending ultra-processed food as part of a healthy diet.

“An app launched by the UK government, supposed to encourage healthy eating, has been found to be promoting ultra-processed foods.” (www.schoolfoodmatters.org:01/02/23)

The Grocer magazine (25/05.21) asked this question:

“Why is government incapable of saying ‘avoid ultra-processed food’?”

The answer is provided in Great British Life (18/05/23) when it reported:

“The Soil Association said it was “deeply concerned” about the influence of the food and drink industry on UK health policy as the NHS Food Scanner app continued to recommend biscuits, cakes, crisps, chocolate puddings and fizzy pop as “good” options for a healthy diet.”

The sad truth is, this Tory government puts corporate profit before public health. Our health,  and especially that of our children's, is being put at serious risk so that the giant food companies can continue to reap massive profits.

“Millions of people in UK facing food poverty as supermarkets announce record profits.” (Sustain: 22/05/22)

But this isn’t just a UK problem.

“Top 100 Food and Beverage Companies for 2022: A Year of Succulent Profits. 2021 could be called the year of meat and soft drinks. All of the top companies in those two categories had blowout years, adding billions of dollars to their top lines and similarly handsome increases to their bottom lines.”  (Food Processing: 05.08.22)

The food-processing companies and the big British supermarkets are both powerful and influential when it comes to determining government food policies. They are motivated by one thing only: profit. If the largest profit to be made is by promoting and selling ultra-processed food then so be it. To the supporters of neo-liberal free market economics the only duty of corporate management is to maximise profits for their shareholders. Any concern for the health or social consequences of their actions is in the words of Milton Friedman ”pure and unadulterated socialism” and no Tory government wants that.

But where is the “double whammy” of the title? It is in the insane situation whereby the government is now offering a “cure” for obesity by making a drug, costing millions of pounds, available on the NHS.

“THE UK should be "front of the pack" in dishing out weight loss drugs to obese Brits, Steve Barclay said today.

The Health Secretary last night announced a £40million two-year pilot that will look at ways to make obesity medicine accessible to patients outside of hospitals.” (Sun: 07/06/23)

Rather than curing obesity at source, by reducing the amount of ultra-processed foods we are being sold, the government is giving taxpayers money to the big pharmaceutical companies to produce weight-reducing drugs. The message is clear, people are to be to encouraged to go on eating ultra-processed food, and then be supplied with a drug to reduce the excess weight gain that results. It’s a win-win situation. The food-processing companies and super markets  go on making massive profits, and the pharmaceutical companies go on making massive profits. The only losers are our children and the 28% of England’s population who are already grossly over-weight, but who cares about them? Clearly not Steve Barclay or Rishi Sunak.
