Modern Life And Diabetes: The Hidden Risks

Modern Life and Diabetes: The Hidden Risks: Diabetes risk is rising due to our modern lifestyle. This includes dietary choices and sedentary jobs. Many diets are dominated by processed foods high in sugars and unhealthy fats. These foods lead to poor eating habits. They spike blood sugar levels and increase insulin resistance. The shift to desk jobs has reduced physical activity. This reduction…

Eddie is on tour during July, so Steve decides to join him bc why the hell not. The corroded coffin TikTok page has been consistently getting 30,000 views for each video because their social media manager sucks ass and doesn’t know what the people want from their favorite artists.

But a video of the four guys goofing off goes pretty viral and they jump from 50k followers to 2 million in a week. The social media guy quits and Eddie, Gareth, Jeff, and Freak all take turns posting videos, which helps them build a shitload of traction.

It’s eddie’s turn to post a video and Steve is in the background with all of his diabetes stuff spread around him. He’s putting on a new cgm onto the back of his arm.

Everyone starts to freak out because people are super uneducated on what diabetes is and they immediately accuse Steve of doing drugs and other nefarious stuff. It gets so bad that they have to disable to comment section on that video.

Eddie comes out with a video a few days later stating:

“Hey, that’s my boyfriend. He has type one diabetes and was just putting on his new dexcom. Stop being assholes. Thank you!”

It’s very short and succinct and people turn eddie’s millennial pause at the beginning into a meme that haunts him forever.

(A week later, Steve has multiple fan pages dedicated to him, which he never sees because he is a grandpa at heart who is scared by social media.)

With changes in diet and exercise along with Mounjaro and Metformin my A1C dropped from 10.7 (3/5/24) to 6.8 (2/14/25) to 5.2 (6/6/25)!!!!

This is so average for most people, but for me... it's quite the difference (as you can see). I am a housewife, and I have a hard time motivating myself to do any kind of exercise, but today I walked. I walked and I enjoyed every moment listening to music in one ear and the frogs singing in the other.

The weather was perfect, and I felt so good about myself. Being outside in nature really cleared my head and I could breathe so easily with the fresh air. I feel so at peace, so calm and content. Fulfilled.

I am proud of myself for taking the first step. My hope is to do this at least 3 times a week, if not more. I would love to do it 5 times a week, but I know I need to start slow. My desire to get to a better weight and further from the diabetes that runs in my family is strong.

I want to be healthy, and I want to love my body.

My personal headcanon is that Tim has dermatilomania, mi boy drinks energy drinks and/or coffee like he needs it for breathing, which obviously gives him his anxiety and paranoia, and, as someone whose own dermatilomania skyrocket when I got a panic attack, I think Tim would to

Eddie doesn’t know how he was convinced by Steve to go on a hike. Yes, Eddie can sing and run around stage without getting winded, but make him climb uphill on a slightly rocky path? He’s done for.

Steve has a backpack on with everything they could possibly need, keeping his balance perfectly. Eddie only has the clothes on his back and that is still making him wobble.

“Baby, love of my life, dearest husband. Can we please stop for a minute?” Eddie is out of breath and has his hands on his knees, hair limp with sweat around his face.

Steve stops and puts his hands on his hips, sunglasses sliding into his hair. “My love, we’ve only been hiking for an hour. Do you want to head back now or continue to the top?”

Eddie pauses his panting. “An hour?! Oh my god I’m gonna die up here. Hand me my phone I have to send a message to Wayne.”

-

Once they reach the top, Steve brings out their snacks and doses himself for a protein bar. He’s not surprised when his pump doesn’t give him any insulin— he’s been burning sugar like crazy.

The view is spectacular and when Steve looks over at Eddie, he just sees a blob of limbs and hair laying on the ground.

“I’m gonna have to check you for ticks now, babe.”

Eddie groans, “Let them eat me. I feel like a wet paper towel.”

“I love you too much. I can always carry you back down if you need.”

Steve scooches closer and puts Eddie’s head in his lap. He reaches a hand up and cups Steve’s face, saying, “Oh, darling, you’re so thoughtful.”

They share a kiss before the two of them get back up and pose for a selfie, per Eddie’s request.

(He’s posts it on instagram when they get cell service on the drive back with the caption: “I love my husband but holy shit I do not belong in nature.” Steve looks like a god and Eddie, a drowned rat. They make a perfect couple).

The hike down is not as bad as it was up, and Steve does end up carrying Eddie down.

“You know, this isn’t too bad,” Steve says as they’re about ten feet from the car. “You’re so light, I could definitely bench press you!”

“Oh my god shut up Steve I’m gonna bust if I imagine you doing that.” He smacks a kiss on Steve’s cheek. “Give me twenty minutes and I’ll be raring to go.”

“EDDIE!”

when i get mad at myself for having a shit memory and not being able to hang onto anything then i remember that i smoked weed every day for 7 years straight....

It pisses me off how some people treat people with diabetes. “They should’ve eaten healthier and exercised more”, actually not all forms of diabetes are caused by that, and even so you can’t change the past choices you’ve made and everyone still deserves respect regardless.

Carb Counting for Type 2 Diabetics: How Many Carbs Should You Eat?

Managing your carbs is a crucial part of living with type 2 diabetes. It helps keep your blood sugar levels steady and can improve your overall health. So, how many carbs should you actually eat each day? Let's break it down.

Understanding Carbs: What Are They?

Carbs, or carbohydrates, are one of the three main types of nutrients. They’re the body's primary source of energy. When you eat carbs, your body turns them into sugar (glucose). This sugar enters your bloodstream and fuels your cells. But for someone with type 2 diabetes, controlling this sugar level is essential to prevent high blood sugar.

Daily Carb Needs: A Good Starting Point

When it comes to daily carb intake, it’s not one-size-fits-all. Most experts recommend that people with type 2 diabetes aim for about 45% to 60% of their daily calories from carbs. For example, if you eat 2,000 calories a day, that means you should aim for about 225 to 300 grams of carbs. However, many do better on a lower range, around 130-150 grams, especially if they’re watching their blood sugar.

Quality Over Quantity: Choosing the Right Carbs

Not all carbs are created equal. Focus on high-quality, nutrient-dense foods. Here are some tips:

Whole Grains: Think brown rice, quinoa, and whole wheat bread. They’re packed with fiber and keep you feeling full longer.

Fruits and Vegetables: They provide essential vitamins and minerals. Choose fresh or frozen options over canned ones with added sugar.

Legumes: Beans, lentils, and peas are great sources of protein and fiber. They can help control your blood sugar levels.

Monitoring Your Blood Sugar: The Key to Success

After meals, check your blood sugar levels to see how different foods affect you. This can help you find the right balance of carbs that works for your body. Keeping a food journal might also help you track what you eat and how it impacts your sugar levels.

Meal Planning: Making It Work for You

Planning your meals around your carb intake can make a world of difference. Try to spread your carbs evenly throughout the day. This means not loading up on carbs in one meal and having none in another. Balanced meals help keep your energy levels steady and glucose levels in check.

Listen to Your Body: It Knows Best

Don’t forget to pay attention to your body. Everyone's experience with carbs is different. What works for one person might not work for another. If you feel sluggish or have high blood sugar, it could be a sign to adjust your carb intake or the types of carbs you’re eating.

Final Thoughts: Finding Your Balance

Managing carbs is critical for those with type 2 diabetes. It might take some trial and error to find what works for you, and that’s perfectly okay. Keep in mind the general guidelines, focus on quality carbs, and monitor your body’s response. With time, you’ll discover your unique balance that keeps you feeling your best.

Sugars got to 255 so I dragged my bike over and biked 30 minutes. I biked 10 miles in that time and brought my sugars down to 164. Crazy how this works. I'm not dizzy for once after a drop. But I am ready to just chill the rest of the day. 🌻
