#what diabetes looks like

[foxgloveinspace]

My one ooc Andrew Minyard headcanon I will never let go of is that his eyes are very expressive if you bother to look, but he’s so intimidating is hard to look in his eyes so only Neil, Renee and Kevin notice. Maybe Wymack does too but that’s outside of his pay grade still.

Hi, my name is Ursula Keter. I'm a 61 year old mother to a teenage daughter and we live in Houston, Texas. Today I ask for your kindness and help as my daughter and I are on the verge of homelessness. I have diabetes and on January 11th of 2024, I very suddenly fell ill overnight with diabetic neuropathy and nerve damage in my hands, arms, legs, and feet caused by high blood sugar levels due to being unable to afford doctor's appointments and medication consistently. After spending a month and a half in a rehabilitation center, it has still left me unable to walk or effectively use my hands. I'm asking for help to afford food, rent, utilities, phone bill, car insurance, as well as basic necessities. If we cannot pay our April and future rent, we will be homeless and potentially on the streets. You can donate, share or offer prayers,all shall be highly appreciated.

Hello “Ursula,” seeing as your account was literally made yesterday, I don’t believe you! Tumblr scammer spotted! 👀

I also found out I have pretty pretty high cholesterol. This wasn't something my doctor flagged for me just 4 years ago when I last had labs, meaning it's a pretty new issue. That checks out since I've always had good cholesterol.

In good news I'm not even in the ballpark of at risk for diabetes which is the one everyone's worried about for me constantly cuz im fat.

Made an appointment with a psych but I can't get in till May. But once I get my vitamin D under control and get on some kind of mental health pills/assistance and get some energy back it'll be a lot easier to exercise. Until then I'm just gonna focus on eating meat and dairy a little more discerningly and drinking more water cuz my labs came back dehydrated too >_>;

I really wish my doctor had given me some more specific instructions than just "go on a diet and exercise" without even asking me about my diet or activity levels but what can you do. Once you're over 300 pounds you're not really a person to a doctor until you've lost half that.

i don't mean to be controversial by saying this because, yes, men are the main perpetrators of the patriarchy and body standards. but women also can and do enforce these same standards and uphold the patriarchy. at some point you just have to take some personal responsibility and break thei cycle or else we're always going to be stuck here.

My doctor has me on diabetes meds even though I don't have diabetes as a prophylactic, and it's taken... 2? years now but I've been slowly noticing some weight loss and it's like oh cool so the sudden weight gain when I was in my late teens was indeed due to the whole metabolic disorder thing and not just age. Neat. Awesome. Cool. Not at all unnerving

Me: aw man i don't wanna be induced at week 38, that seems too soon! ...maybe if i'm lucky i can make it to week 39–

My doctors, today: good news! because of Reasons, you'll have to be induced at week 37
