How to prevent Diabetic Retinopathy Diabetes can harm many organs. One of the most common complications of diabetes is diabetic retinopathy. This condition affects the retina of the eye. Retina is the light sensitive portion at the back of the eye.

I hate how society is so fat phobic that people will question why someone with t2 diabetes needs a medication to control blood sugar more than their need to lose weight. Like maybe, just maybe, having an uncontrolled blood sugar of 300 is just a little more dangerous than you potentially having health problems years down the line. One is decidedly more dangerous.

Why is it that my insurance doesn't cover like. Half the things I need.

Oh god why the physical discomfort is happening again. Why is it so tiring to walk or do anything. No matter how much I sleep, I'm still tired. I manage my diabetes well. Why does my body just make existing feel bad.

as a general rule, on average, if americans consistently complain about a food being conceptually weird, gross, and scary, then it probably tastes amazing. or at least inoffensive.

this is because in my experience americans for the most part (give or take a few exceptions by region) think eating literally anything other than beef, chicken, bread, eggs, peanut butter jelly sandwitches, ketchup, and disgusting cloyingly artificial brown sludge soda is insurmountably weird, gross, and scary.

as a diabetic i don't think we talk about how much time you lose when your blood sugar is out of control. i've been lying in bed since i got up this morning because i woke up to a 350+ bs (feeling like absolute shit) and gave myself insulin, waited and found out it wasn't working, so i inspected my inset and found out i'd ripped half of it out in my sleep so i hadn't received any of that insulin, so then i had to reapply an inset, gave myself more insulin and am now waiting for it to come down again. it's been about 2 hours, and i planned on getting so much done before work this morning but now since i feel like shit since my bs is high i can't do anything but lie in bed until i feel better. non-diabetics/chronically ill ppl just don't ever have to deal with this sort of time loss. idk it's just frustrating yknow

I'm just constantly on my bullshit these days. brain said fuck you feel everything and think about everything

God I fucking hate how pcos groups are all chock a block with snake oil salesmen and herbal remedies, like I know its medical science's fault, ultimately, for doing very little research into pcos to begin with, but is maddening that nobody wants to take their mf metformin

[antinausea]

diabetes tech is so annoying sometimes like dont get me wrong i love my dexcom & my tslim and im very very thankful that i have them and i understand its a privilege to have access to advanced medical technology

but a lot of the built-in “safeguards” are really annoying and frankly unnecessary for most adults. why is my ability to make my own medical decisions being infringed upon by the manufacturers of the devices that are supposed to be assisting us in our care? why can’t i override or change certain settings if i acknowledge the risk associated with that choice?

Keunggulan Beras Organik untuk Penderita Diabetes

Keunggulan bers diabetes - Diabetes mellitus adalah salah satu penyakit kronis yang semakin umum di seluruh dunia. Bagi mereka yang menderita diabetes, pengelolaan gula darah adalah aspek kunci dalam menjaga kesehatan. Salah satu pilihan yang semakin banyak digunakan oleh penderita diabetes adalah beras organik. Beras organik memiliki berbagai keunggulan yang dapat mendukung pengelolaan diabetes dan kesehatan secara keseluruhan. Dalam artikel ini, kita akan membahas beberapa keunggulan beras organik untuk penderita diabetes.

Indeks Glikemik yang Rendah

Salah satu keunggulan utama beras organik adalah indeks glikemik yang rendah. Indeks glikemik adalah ukuran seberapa cepat makanan meningkatkan kadar gula darah setelah dikonsumsi. Beras organik, terutama beras merah atau coklat, memiliki indeks glikemik yang lebih rendah dibandingkan beras putih konvensional. Hal ini berarti karbohidrat dalam beras organik diserap perlahan oleh tubuh, sehingga tidak menyebabkan lonjakan gula darah yang tajam.

Kandungan Serat yang Tinggi

Beras organik, khususnya beras merah atau coklat, kaya akan serat. Serat adalah komponen penting dalam diet penderita diabetes karena membantu memperlambat penyerapan glukosa dalam darah. Dengan mengonsumsi beras organik yang kaya serat, Anda dapat menjaga kadar gula darah tetap stabil.

Kandungan Nutrisi yang Lebih Tinggi

Beras organik seringkali memiliki kandungan nutrisi yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan beras putih konvensional yang telah diproses. Nutrisi seperti vitamin, mineral, dan antioksidan penting untuk menjaga kesehatan secara keseluruhan. Kandungan nutrisi yang lebih tinggi dalam beras organik dapat membantu memenuhi kebutuhan nutrisi Anda tanpa mengorbankan kadar gula darah.

Tidak Mengandung Residu Pestisida

Ketika beras organik ditanam, praktik pertanian yang lebih berkelanjutan digunakan, dan penggunaan pestisida kimia sintetis dihindari. Ini berarti beras organik memiliki kemungkinan lebih rendah mengandung residu pestisida yang dapat memengaruhi kesehatan tubuh. Penderita diabetes yang sensitif terhadap bahan kimia tertentu mungkin akan mendapatkan manfaat dari menghindari residu pestisida.

Rasa yang Lezat dan Pulen

Beras organik sering memiliki rasa yang lebih kaya dan tekstur yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan beras putih konvensional. Ini dapat membuat makanan menjadi lebih lezat, sehingga Anda merasa lebih puas dengan porsi yang lebih kecil. Hal ini membantu dalam mengendalikan asupan karbohidrat dan menjaga kadar gula darah tetap stabil.

Kesimpulan

Penderita diabetes perlu memilih makanan dengan hati-hati untuk menjaga kadar gula darah mereka tetap terkontrol. Beras organik, dengan indeks glikemik rendah, kandungan serat yang tinggi, kandungan nutrisi yang lebih baik, dan keunggulan lainnya, adalah pilihan karbohidrat yang sehat untuk penderita diabetes.

Nah, sekian ulasan tentang keunggulan beras diabetes, selalu konsultasikan dengan dokter atau ahli gizi Anda sebelum membuat perubahan besar dalam diet Anda untuk memastikan sesuai dengan kebutuhan khusus Anda. Dengan memasukkan beras organik ke dalam pola makan yang seimbang, Anda dapat membantu meningkatkan pengelolaan diabetes Anda dan meningkatkan kesehatan secara keseluruhan.

Hm...scary.

This is not to ignore some of the incredible medical advances we’ve made like gene therapy or gene editing technologies to address genetic illnesses, wearable technology devices (eg. diabetics), and stem cell medicine. This is medicine I can stand behind. This is medicine used right.

I respect anyone in the medical field that see the gap I speak of, and are doing what they can (despite their hands being tied) because they genuinely care about people.

My concern is with the common practice of treating patients solely with medicine with little to no regard for nutrition, which is THE primary medicine. This gap is reflected in medical schools, in our food system, the American diet, and in our health.

If we are to ever see improvement we need to take back control of our own health, vote better with our dollars, demand better of our leaders, and close the gap. Nothing will change until we do.

We deserve so much better.

Insulin Resistance: What it is and How to Reverse it

Insulin is a hormone produced by your pancreas that plays a crucial role in regulating your blood sugar levels. When you eat carbohydrates, your body breaks them down into glucose, which is then absorbed into your bloodstream. Insulin helps your cells take up glucose and use it for energy. However, if you eat too many carbohydrates or have a diet high in processed foods and sugars, your body may…
