Indeed. That is one thing I am very thankful for...For whatever reason, my body will digest anything in any quantity, and my blood-measurements never get out of whack. I can eat a whole pizza, a whole cake, a pound of brownies, blah blah blah, it doesn't matter. I'm like a snack-hole. And the vitamin and serum levels and all that stuff? The charts and the docs say I am A-OK. Amazing after all these years.
The only one I occasionally have trouble with is Vitamin D, because I avoid the sun. So every couple years they give me those Supervitamegavegamin-D pills...You know, the 50,000 IU pills once a week for a month. Man, those are fun.
So I am wholly thankful that I have at least that going for me, if not my trading. Bleh.
And then I think back to an old friend of mine who has diabetes (I do not recall which level), but I do not think she was at that "have to have sugar all the time with me level", but she had to have a toe amputated because of it. I remember being very angry about that.
Therefore, as your new POTUS 2024, I am declaring Diabetes illegal, and thus all scientists who do not help solve this terrible problem are liable and may serve jail-time.
Solve the fucking diabetes problem with all this money we give you, and NOT on studies that show monkeys enjoy sex because you measured the pleasure areas of their brains.
We do not need to know this. Thank you, science.
ON 2024.
I don't mean to be that guy, but I don't know if you meant by level the different types (Type 1 vs Type 2), but yeah there's really no level to it, only how bad the different types of diabetes have become in one's current situation. Type 1 is the insulin-dependent one that's an autoimmune condition, Type 2 is typically not insulin-dependent, and can often be managed with just a change in diet. Type 2 can be developed from a poor diet. In Type 1, the pancreas stops producing insulin, but in Type 2, the pancreas typically produces insulin but does not use it well enough. That's why in Type 1, there is always a need for emergency sugar and daily insulin injection, while in Type 2 often eating healthier and exercising is all one needs to do to manage it, and maybe some other medications. I'm not well versed enough in Type 2 diabetes though, since I don't have it. T2 is the more common type of diabetes.
But personal management is key in either type. If you manage either type well, you severely reduce your risk of any complications and can extend your lifespan.
Yeah, spending taxpayer money on useless nonsense infuriates me. But public R&D is very important. So is private. Thanks for caring.
