I do appreciate your lofty conveyance of these concepts and your insight on historical context. I suppose I just tend to put sociopathy on all strangers these days. I’m not necessarily saying it’s like an imperative to spread their religion, more like people generally tend to not mature or grow in their lives, but rather to justify their own behavior to themselves instead. It’s relatively common, because of this, that people are subconsciously using religion to justify their own antisocial behaviors instead of improving themselves. And that inherent narcissism is the actual reason people will inject religion into every conversation and try and push it on to those around them. Maybe I’m cynical, though, and applying my anecdotal experience to more of the population than it actually fits with

So fucking irritated my dude. I know in their minds they’re doing it out of a sense of trying to help other souls to find the correct path, in theory. But when you look at it from a secular point of view it literally just feels like them asserting their worldview constantly in the most smug possible way, like get fucked fr. Humans just don’t know how to stop themselves from convincing everyone around them of whatever fairytale horse shit they desperately need for themselves to not fear death. I don’t mind them believing whatever the hell they want, I just wish they would shut their ass about it. If it’s the truth thing everyone on Earth has the same access to it and I don’t need somebody constantly reminding me that what’s true is true. Things that are true don’t need to be constantly repeated

Slimy sacks of fucking trash got one right, like a consolation shit sandwich

Hilarious

Nah man, Putin is Trump’s hero. Watch us take some territory and refuse to give it up through multiple cease fires. Not only did he not stop the war in Ukraine, he turned America into fucking russia. Fucking dumb timeline

Funny as fuck for her to whinge about unelected judges while she submits this to the supreme Court… And by funny I mean she’s a fucking piece of shit, obviously

I fucking hate this timeline

I also wanted to suggest to you that you go on a marathon on some site like YouTube about diabetic management and prevention. Knowledge is power when it comes to disease! The better you understand, the disease you face and the more you know about it, the smarter decisions you can make for yourself and your own health! Just make sure you are checking your sources carefully! There are probably more bad sources than there are good sources in the the grand scheme of the internet. A good rule of thumb is to steer away from .coms and steer toward .orgs and in the past .gov

It is definitely a lot of management, but it may be the disease. I see that is most preventable but also causes the most problems for people in the hospital when not controlled well. Our society does suck that way, but if you can do anything to stick to whole foods like fruit and cook your own meals without added sugar or salt, it can go a long way and sometimes save you money, though I do recognize that cheap as hell, fast food is the cheapest way to eat these days. It is also poison and I think you would do well to steer clear of it as often as humanly possible ❤️ most especially soda, even the sugar-free ones aren’t great, especially for diabetics as they can trick your body into releasing insulin and it’s still taxing for that system in a diabetic. You got this I believe in you!

If you are stressed about it, I would recommend possibly getting a glucose monitor for your own mental health. You can check it more frequently and see what your glucose does before and after meals, that can give you some more information to go off of if you are trying to get your doctor to order specific tests. I imagine if you asked him he would order an A1C test though! They are simple and quick, and as the other person said, they give you a good idea of how well your blood sugar is controlled over the course of several months. It’s really the way they diagnose diabetes in the first place generally. Activity and diet control are the number one ways to stay out of diabetes, however. Some people’s genetics are so tilted towards diabetes that they will enter it eventually regardless of how they eat, but that’s a pretty rare case. If you are really able to keep yourself in shape and control your diet for calories and carbohydrates and fiber, your chances are become so slim that I doubt your doctor would worry about it much anymore. I know that’s a difficult thing to do though, so as others have said, frequency of urination is often one, especially at night, neuropathic tingling in your toes, slowly healing wounds, fatigue. These are often among the first symptoms, but in many cases people don’t catch it until they enter what is called DKA or ketoacidosis, this is the major short-term risk of both diabetes, it is a separate production your body switches to when it can’t process carbohydrates and it produces an acid that your blood won’t get rid of fast enough, these people have to go to the hospital and stay usually a couple days qqqto get out of it. If you are already tracking it with your doctor, and checking your blood sugars, then you are ahead of the game! There is no real indicator besides your blood sugar and your a1c, and then physiological symptoms you may notice. Even if you do go into diabetes at this stage in your life, IF you are doing the other things I mentioned, and tracking your blood sugar, it would most likely be a an autoimmune-induced late onset type 1 diabetes. Even if that were the case with modern devices like CGM or sometimes even cgm and insulin pump combos. Your health can remain basically the same even after that kind of diagnosis! At this stage in our science, both types of diabetes are completely manageable if you are willing to be VERY compliant with your regiment. The bad parts of diabetes always come from specifically uncontrolled diabetes. The issue is that the molecule of glucose is large and can cause damage in the bloodstream, so when that level gets out of control, those molecules can clump and affect your tiny blood vessels. That is where the worst things come from, general organ damage including eyes and lack of circulation to the smaller ends of your extremities, usually your toes first. There is ALMOST no actual risk to having diabetes if you control it really well, you can essentially have full-blown type 1 diabetes with no insulin producing cells remaining and if you are tracking it well enough and good enough about your diet and exercise and medicine you can live a completely normal life and it won’t even shorten your lifespan significantly. That’s the hard part for people though. Having really good control because it’s a pain in the butt. Source: I’m an ICU nurse
