The FDA Commissioner also promoted a report from the Make America Healthy Again Commission, which President Donald Trump's administration released earlier this week
Absolutely. I am getting help since im just personally not able to keep up the required diet. It’s practically impossible in America it feels like. Every restaurant is off the table and little joys in life would be out of reach.
Thankfully I don’t need insulin, and after losing weight I’ve significantly decreased the amount of meds needed to keep my sugars normal, but just wanted to post to show people without diabetes that it’s a disease, not something solely caused by just being unhealthy. Being unhealthy just makes the symptoms of the disease worse
Very glad to hear that you’re working on keeping it under control. My spiel was for the sake of not just you, but anyone else reading this. I know it’s hard but don’t quit, particularly if you have people in your life who care about you.
I was horrified when I learned just how many people don’t even make an attempt to manage their diabetes, and the much larger swath who say they do, but are just half-assing it because yes, you are severely restricted on your activities, places you can go eat, family gatherings, etc. It’s a huge pain in the ass and most people don’t have the time or knowledge to modify their lives if they otherwise feel “normal.”
I have a friend of a family member I game with who is very overweight, she steals her father’s ozempic to “take hits off once in a while” like it’s a fucking vape pen. The father is bleeding through his skin and still won’t take his meds or stop ordering takeout. This kind of nihilistic ignorance isn’t uncommon at all.
