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

#this turned more so into a snarky vent post but idc #you guys would not believe the shit I hear on a daily basis #I've encountered actual medical professionals who say these things to me #I've had hospital trips where my nurse didn't actually understand the difference between type 1 and type 2 #this shit is insane #I can't believe I actually put up with this daily and don't just start killing #zelle.txt #disability pride month #type 1 diabetes

If your internal organ is broken, and can't be fixed, does that mean you're physically disabled?

#i've always been in a weird limbo with my t1d #because it IS physical definitely not a mental thing #but it's not exactly visible #i know technically it's a chronic illness but i've had a weird feeling for a while that certain disabled ppl don't take us seriously -_- #could just be my paranoia though #actually disabled #actually diabetic #actually chronically ill #type 1 diabetic

most fucked up thing about the body's response to not eating is when you're so hungry you feel like you're gonna throw up. this does not make it easier to eat food actually

#literally thanks it did not help #my body sucks so bad at eating #i literally am not hungry until im so hungry i feel sick?? #also #even when i remember to eat on a schedule all food makes me queasy i literally cannot win #maybe the so hungry im about to puke thing is just a me problem idk but it is NOT helpful #im also starting a medication that i cant eat anything for two hours before or after that's going to mess up my digestion today 😊 #and make me feel awful #but its an alternative to eye surgery so hopefully it will be worth it #but i havent even started it yet and im so queasy just bc i didnt really eat breakfast #its not like i had Nothing i had three bites of cheerios and a coffee.... #i would have eaten the cheerios but i was late for an appointment lol #anyway #my digestion sucks and i already cut out gluten and almost all dairy 😤 #wtf else is thereee #also somehow magically even tho all food makes me sick and i barely eat regular meals i am putting on weight??? #lowkey wondering if im diabetic or something bc this is not normallll

My honest reaction when I see that my dad is eating his 2nd tangerine of the day (He's diabetic and also suffers from diverticulitis)

#just girly things #dad please we have being over this many times #just stick to the diets please #If you don't know if you are diabetic you can't eat any fruit #And if you have any cronic illnes that affects your intestine like diverticulitis the only fruit you can eat is bananas #but you can still eat fruit yogurts btw #wonyoung

working on the daunting task of having an earlier bedtime and rising time

#WEIGHT BULLSHIT DISCUSSION AHEAD❗❗❗ #i gained weight lately and it overall doesnt bother besides the practicality of slightly tighter clothing #but me family!!! its all over me!! #and my tests came back a bit wack #i do understand it since my family has a lot of weight troubles related trauma #grandpa died from complications from being diabetic (miss u everyday tata) and some of my aunts cant walk because of their weight #but like bro i walk ~10000 steps everyday so its not like im a sedentary person #anyway. gotta wake up earlier to begin my day exercising #after all i am A Science Guy and all the studies point to that the 7 am exercising is better for the metabolism #eating healthy is not exactly the problem. my diet is very varied! #i just love eating lmao #anyway wish me luck! #the only bad thing about all this is that my art time is gonna be less... gotta reduce my screen time for this to work

trying frantically to find sources about how being fat and eating sugar doesn't cause diabetes before i talk to my mom about my blood sugar lmao but search engines hate giving me information

#it's... high. and 3 liver enzymes are high #i'm kinda hoping it's just stress or it's at least still reversable at this point but #my mom has diabetes and i know she's buying into the weight loss thing really hard (she's on some horrific medication to lose weight rn) #she says she's lost weight but idk how. i've never lost weight through starving myself #but yeah this is awesome i definitely hope i have one more health issue that doctors are likely to abuse me abt #darryl speaks

okay i’m trying to contain my thoughts about this book for the primer part 2 but i will die if i don’t share these quotes immediately

“…there’s no question that Mats Sundin had the biggest influence on me when I was young. Mats would have a little smirk on his face whenever he saw me. “Hey, Maxie,” he’d say, using his nickname for me. “How are you, buddy?” Just hearing those words was enough to make my day. Mats was my favourite player—he was like a god to me.”

“Every now and then, my dad would take me for a skate on the main ice, and if I was lucky, Mats would join us. On a few rare occasions, he would even come watch one of my games. Those were the coolest times for me. I could feel the pressure those nights, knowing that Mats was watching me play—I didn’t want to let him down.”

“I had worn the number 13 my whole life because of Mats Sundin. I patterned my whole game after Mats, so I wore 13 in honor of him. But when I went to Don Mills, it hit me that I was playing for the Flyers—Bobby Clarke’s team. Bobby Clarke wore number 16, and the number was available when I started with the team. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to switch my number so that I could honor Bobby Clarke. But I was worried that I would upset Mats if I changed numbers, so I decided to run it by my dad. “Dad, do you think Mats would be upset if I switched numbers?” I asked. My dad laughed. “I don’t think he would mind at all.” “Are you sure? Can you ask him?” Of course, Mats was fine with it. As soon as I heard that, I decided that I would wear number 16 from then on.”

#my thoughts #if one thing has been made clear by this book it's that max loves so deeply #he loves his family #he loves his teammates #he loves his mentors and trainers and coaches and equipment staff and doctors and dieticians and everyone else #there's a page and a half long list of every single player he's been on a team with since he was diagnosed with diabetes #i cried reading this book i really did #this is not the primer part 2 no that will be. significantly longer #disclaimer that it's gonna take me a while to get done because of my classes and work and stuff #but i promise i'm working on it i want it to be done just as much as you do

why is chip pretending to be a grandma so fuckin funny

#.lvblg #gave some caramel to a diabetic dwarf. took 6 points of damage and is now just lying on the ground #eating more caramel #completely normal things to do #jay is also a crab. love everything that’s happening

[arionawrites]

decided to make a list of all my diagnosed issues and like fucking. god damn. how am i just living day to day.

#nine bullet points #of diagnosed things i struggle #i struggle with #1. type one diabetes 2. adhd 3. bipolar 4. severe anxiety 5. depression 6. insomnia 7. migraines 8. dpdr 9. ptsd #and im just ?? existing like this??? literally how what the fuck #there’s more than that too thats just like the actual able to be diagnosed shit #probably also at least slightly autistic but my psychologist said that its not bad enough to impact me big time and a diagnosis would do mor #more harm than good so im just kind. 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.

today sucked the life out of me ya Allah

#nothing particularly happened #well actually multiple things happened but none of them are that big of a deal im just tired #yesterday the ppt file for my presentation corrupted as i was finishing it :') didn't have autosave on :')) #had to redo the entire thing from scratch. i was working on it all week too for god's sake #finished by like 4am today and i had to be up by 8 for uni so i barely slept #the presentation was fine i think given i had to do everything again last minute but ik the original version was better #my blood pressure was through the roof the entire day for some reason. felt my pulse in my head for the whole day #fitting because our pbl case this week was about hypertension😭 #called my dad to make sure he went to get his meds renewed... #i'm really worried about him he refused to go to the doctor again aslan but i sat him down and we had a long talk about it #alhamdulillah he agreed to go. only for them not to have his diabetes meds in stock💀 bas ya3ni it's good that he went anyway #my mom is a different story she's so stubborn i swear #had an argument with her today about letting me work again to lift a bit of the workload off her since money is still so tight #and she got pissed at me #so now im tired unrested have a migraine and my mom is mad at me what a day bgad #ya Allah

we're in this phase III trial of this thing that is soooooooo cool and i want to talk about it sooooo bad but 1. no. 2. no one will understand me if i do. 3. no.

but its so wild to watch disease processes go from totally untreatable to like. one time novel solution. in half of a lifetime. like from "not only do we not know why this is happening or how to stop it but i can tell you that you're just going to go blind," to "well if you come in and get this done every x weeks actually you will preserve most of your vision" to "actually maybe we can just do this one procedure and the thing that robbed 25% of your family of the ability to read by age 75 will simply not be a problem for you"

#like for adult seeing people 80% of your sensory input comes from your vision so you can imagine what it's like to be 78 and lose vision #it ages people like you would not fucking believe #and it's absolutely wild to see it come back like cataract surgery is the most fun bc its like 10 min and life altering but alas #not everything is in the front of the eye #and its really amazing to see people go from rapidly aging and cognitively declining to like fully functional and active #just bc they got their vision back #a thing we could not do 20 years ago in this modality at all even a little bit like we still have og patients from THAT original study #the first one and done treatments for neurodegenerative diseases are soooooo close like they are happening i am seeing them #if your appt takes 84 yrs its bc suddenly there were millions of treatable patients and now and exponentially increasing aging/diabetic pop #if you can imagine: this is cliff-shaped curve that is rather difficult to keep up with from the provider-training perspective #so i would also like this to work so we dont have this 4 hour monthly appointment. for everyone involved which includes me who is so tired

has anyone else been getting asks about people needing insulin and to donate to their gofundme?

Ive gotten 2 asks so far this month, and I'm beginning to feel like this is a new way to scam people

the first blog that asked me seems to have deleted their account so I can't say, but the second blog that submitted an ask to me only started rb-ing stuff yesterday (the same day they sent the ask), and rb-ed 11 posts in 2 minutes

the weird thing was that their donation page was a PayPal transaction page. not even a gofundme so you can't see how much they've been paid already

id love to donate to someone who's genuinely struggling! but I feel like these are just hucksters trying to scam people's goodwill

#and the thing about it is that i feel like theyre taking advantage of all the concern over palestine #namely the concern over diabetics in palestine struggling to get insulin to survive #just wanted to know if anyone else has had similar asks! #scam alert
