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.

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.
#a lot of people literally refuse to even eat ham or pork#not even for like religious or health reasons#just because they think eating anything but beef and chicken is 'weird and scary and gross'#every time i hear people going on en masse about how 'weird and an acquired taste' something foreign is i go and try it and i'm just like#what the fuck were all of you smoking. where is the unbearable weirdness i am supposed to be experiencing#shoutout to that time i kept hearing about how bizarre a flavor milkis soda is and how intimidating and acquired of a taste#then when i actually try the stuff. it's just fucking peach soda. it's peach soda with a faint tangy yogurtish taste. it makes good floats.#how in the absolute fuck is anything even remotely weird much less gross about this?#unless your concept of what a 'soda' should be is poisoned by a lifetime of the entire soda aisle being filled with nothing but brown sludg#from the same 3 brands that all taste like what would happen if they could distill the concept of diabetes and artificial flavoring syrup#i don't know if other countries have this but there's this weird cultural like mandatory rejection of any 'unusual' food here#way more intense than i've seen from anyone from any other country (though that might just be inexperience with other cultures talking)#people react to the mere suggestion of any food outside a very narrow range with outright disgust and genuine fear and horror#and there's a huge amount of unspoken peer pressure on everyone to also do the same#like you're expected to agree with them and you've breeched some sort of silent social contract if you don't#it's seen as *immoral* almost it feels like#it's difficult to describe unless you've noticed it yourself#americans react to the mere suggestion of eating anything outside of the same 2 meats and handful of fillers the same way#that pearl-clutching aristocrat grandmas react to hearing that people in foreign countries do.. basically anything#it doesnt matter if you're suggesting eating ube cake or suggesting eating live bugs because people will react the same way#everything that's not chicken/beef/ect is as good as bugs to people here#hate this stupid blandass country and how impossible it is to afford any food other than burgers if you're not rich#or blessed with relatives that have any idea how to cook and are at all willing to teach you#cause nother weird thing i've noticed about food culture-or at least wasp food culture-that i haven't seen anywhere else quite the same way#is that if you DO have any relatives that know how to cook then nine times out of ten they will jealously guard their recipes like a dragon#and refuse to share them with anyone#thus taking whatever little cooking knowledge was in the family to their grave#so the opportunity other people usually have for family bonding via passing on recipes? pffft no.#for some reason we seem to actively go out of our way to prevent these things from being passed on#i don't know what the fuck is up with that but i suspect it has something to do with 50's dinner party oneupmanship

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

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

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?
#why does dexcom put banners i have to swipe away on top of my maps while i drive even though i have it set to temporary banners only?#why does my tslim have an alarm i can’t turn off that overrides my vibrate setting that goes off every 5 minutes at an extremely loud volume#when my cartridge is empty?#im an adult if i determine it is not urgent to refill my cartridge i shouldnt be punished with alerts i cannot snooze for more than 5 mins.#all of my alerts are set to vibrate only. this one is apparently not affected by that setting. it goes off every 5 minutes.#my blood sugar has been low enough for the past hour that my basal would be automatically set to 0 if there was insulin in my pump 🙄🙄🙄#also its wasteful for me to change my cartridge before its empty? its expensive given the cost of insulin and pump supplies?#like i understand it’s probably to protect the company from liability and litigation if someone doesnt refill their cartridge and goes into#DKA and/or dies but as an adult i should at least have the option to snooze it for more than 5 minutes or have it set to vibrate only when#im not asleep or something?????#what if i have a work meeting and ran out of time to change it beforehand??? is my only option to turn off my pump completely until i can#refill it?#what if i was in an earthquake and my cell phone died and my reservoir was empty but i still wanted to use my pump as a dexcom reciever?#do i and everyone around me during an emergency just have to suffer?#what about school shootings. or any situation where someone needs to hide from a dangerous person?#its just inconsiderate of the REALITY of the fact that people with diabetes live real lives that dont 1000000% revolve exclusively around#their diabetes every minute of every day until we die#its condescending and paternalistic and frankly doesnt prevent harm from befalling us.

Keunggulan Beras Organik untuk Penderita Diabetes
Tumblr media
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.

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…

Understanding The Impact Of Diabetes On Your Body And Organs
Living with diabetes can be challenging, as it affects various aspects of your health. It is essential to be aware of the impact diabetes can have on your body and organs to effectively manage the condition. In this blog post, we will explore the effects of diabetes on different organs and discuss the importance of seeking expert care at Livwell Clinic.
Eyes: Diabetes can cause damage to the blood vessels in your eyes, leading to a condition called diabetic retinopathy. This condition can result in vision loss or even blindness if left untreated. Regular eye check-ups and timely intervention by a diabetologist can help in managing and preventing complications.
Heart and Blood Vessels: Individuals with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. High blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease. Expert consultation and lifestyle modifications provided at Livwell Clinic can significantly reduce the risk and manage these conditions effectively.
Kidneys: Diabetes can harm the kidneys, leading to diabetic nephropathy. It is a progressive condition that affects the kidneys’ ability to filter waste from the blood. Early detection and proper management by a diabetologist can slow down the progression of kidney disease and preserve kidney function.
Nerves: Diabetic neuropathy is a common complication that affects the nerves, particularly in the feet and hands. It can cause tingling, numbness, and pain, impairing mobility and affecting quality of life. Regular monitoring and personalized treatment plans at Livwell Clinic can help manage and alleviate symptoms.
Skin: People with diabetes are prone to skin complications such as dry skin, infections, and slow wound healing. It is crucial to maintain good skin hygiene, manage blood sugar levels, and seek professional guidance at Livwell Clinic to prevent and treat these issues effectively.
Feet: Diabetic foot complications are a significant concern. Nerve damage and poor blood circulation can lead to foot ulcers, infections, and even amputations if not managed promptly. Regular foot care, early detection, and comprehensive diabetic foot care programs at Livwell Clinic can help prevent these complications.
Conclusion:
Living with diabetes requires proactive management and regular monitoring to prevent complications that can affect various organs in your body. Livwell Clinic, under the guidance of Dr. (Lt Col) Shashi Bhushan, provides comprehensive and compassionate medical care for individuals with diabetes. Dr. Bhushan’s expertise and holistic approach to patient care make Livwell Clinic an excellent choice for those seeking specialized diabetes management and prevention of organ-related complications. Remember, by seeking expert care and making necessary lifestyle changes, you can effectively manage diabetes and lead a healthy life.
