Exploring the Dangers of Diabetes and Insulin Resistance Treatments in 2023
Tumblr media
Diabetes is one of the rising health problems of the world today. Chances are you already know how detrimental this disease could be in our life. It is the root cause of many complicated health problems such as heart diseases, glaucoma, kidney disorders, stress, and even mental breakdown. Diabetes occurs when the body cannot control blood sugar levels, resulting in two types: type-1 and type-2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes lacks insulin production, while type 2 diabetes struggles with insulin use. High blood sugar levels are the result of an imbalance of insulin, which can result from either condition.

Now that it's Disability Pride Month, anyone who makes obnoxious diabetes jokes along the lines of "diabetes in a cup" or similar jokes personally owes me at least $10 okay thank you much love ^_^
Same goes for the people who immediately tell me about how much they would hate their life if they had to inject themselves with needles everyday like I do after I tell them I'm diabetic, your comment is not helpful or insightful! :3
Oh and people who ask me for the in depth medical definition on type 1 diabetes owe AT LEAST $30, I'm not your personal medical dictionary

The worst thing about having a chronic pain that isn't visible to others is feeling like your whining when you say, "i'm in pain right now."
i don't ever want the pain in my knees to be categorized as the same kind of complaint as "i don't want to go to work" or "its monday." I say "my knees and joints are hurting" every day because 1. my knees and joints do hurt everyday, and it fucking sucks and 2. i want to be heard by the pepole around me saying that i'm in pain so i can never be gaslit by myself, my family, or my doctor that i'm "not in enough pain".
but when i say "i'm in a lot of pain right now" and then continue to live my life (becuse i can't sit around all day, as much as i want to) pepole assume that i'm okay enough, so therfore it's not that bad. "i'm in a lot of pain" becomes just another mundane complaint.
the thing is; my pain tollerance is HIGH. i don't talk about it much on here, But i'm a type one diabetic and i have been that way since i was SIX YEARS OLD. i've been sticking myself with needles, pricking my fingers to draw blood, dealing with insulin and medical supplies since i was six. i know my body better than most 18 year olds do, so when i say that recently i've been a 9 on the 1-10 pain scale evry day for the past couple of months I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
When i say "my joints hurt", i mean that i can FEEL bones grinding and clicking against one another. When i say "i've been sitting for too long and now my hips are fucked" i mean that walking becomes diffucuclt for me and sometimes i have to hobble down the school halways like how my grandmother walks. when i say "my knees are in pain" i mean that it feels like a liquid hot, searing pain in my joints that feels like a poker melting my skin off. WHEN I SAY I'M IN PAIN, IT'S NOT A MUNDANITY, ITS EXCUTRIATING AND I WISH I WOULD BE TAKEN SEROUISLY.
I cant stand for a 10 minute conversation, my knees would buckle. I might need a bench in my shower, becuse for the past few weeks i've been sitting in my shower floor to shampoo and conditon my hair. I can't sit criss-cross anymore or it will fuck up my entire day. I've resorted to taking a bathroom break in every single class every day so i can stand up becuse if i sit for longer than 30 minutes in one of those school desks every joint in my lower back and spine and legs starts screaming at me. i only feel comfortable laying down, fully stretched out, on my back. If i sleep wrong, i'm in pain from the molment i wake up.
ITS NOT A FUCKING COMPLAINT OR EXCUSE WHEN I SAY I'M IN PAIN. ITS MY LIFE.

“you can’t let x control your life” if it didn’t i would die. if i slack off a bit or become careless (even by accident!) it would hurt or kill me. true, i can’t do everything you and others can. and it sucks. but if i want to stay safe, then x has to control my life. i’m not sorry.

I dunno if this has been asked yet, but what is the wasting disease condition based on?
Just curious.
Things like cancer, diabetes, and terminal illnesses. Basically, any illness that would cause the cat to become weak and eventually die, but that the cats wouldn't have proper medical technology/understanding to actually identify and treat. Thus the cats put it in the category of "wasting disease" because the affected cats seem to just waste away.

PLEASE STOP STOP STOP SPREADING THIS IMAGE WITHOUT CONTEXT.
these insulins are Regular and NPH insulin, NOT fast-acting like Humalog or Novolog and long-acting like Lantus and Basaglar. If you don’t use these properly, you can still die or end up hospitalized.
if you attempt to switch to R insulin on your own, YOU MAY VERY WELL DIE. they DO NOT work the same way as fast-acting insulins. You need to consult with a doctor ideally, or if you can't do that, RESEARCH THE SHIT OUT OF THESE INSULINS AND THEIR EFFECTS.
I took R insulin for several years as a very small child before fast-acting insulin was created, and the way you eat is STRICTLY regimented. you can’t just shoot some R insulin and go ahead and eat like you can with humalog. my blood sugar levels were frequently anywhere between 40 and 300 (normal is 100-120 for a diabetic) on R and NPH, which is dangerous and causes long-term damage
here is a tragic story of a man who switched to relion R insulin and died because of it: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/08/09/man-dies-otc-insulin/1942908001/ – from 2019
The fact that diabetics are having to use 30+ year-old insulin because we can’t afford modern insulin is a fucking travesty.
These insulins are not miracle alternatives; they're a last resort.
Every diabetic who dies because of insulin rationing or because they had to switch to R and NPH insulin is blood on the hands of pharmaceutical execs and the government.
