  1. Until the American Diabetes Association locates its spine, DO NOT DONATE TO THEM. Signed --A Diabetic

    "The boycott letter has already received hundreds of signatures, Steven Kahn, professor of medicine at the University of Washington, told Fierce, including “former presidents of the association, major prize winners, award winners of the association [and] people who are leaders in international diabetes.”

    Kahn was one of the five ADA members forcibly removed from the annual conference in New Orleans this year after distributing an editorial criticizing the Trump administration’s cuts to federal science spending. Kahn, who is also editor-in-chief of Diabetes Care, was lead author of that editorial."

  6. CW: Diabetes Request to share experiences with semaglutide

    My #endocrinologist still can't make up their mind whether I have #diabetes type 1 or type 2 because #COVID19 gave me diabetes. They switched me from #insulin to #metformin and it's working pretty well. They plan to add some #glp1 agonist at some point down the road. Not sure about that though. I know that both insulin and #Semaglutid are hormons that are native to the body. But I just feel (maybe irrational) apprehension towards drugs like #ozempic. Any fellow #diabetic got some experiences to share?

  7. CW: Semi-long discussion about my new diabetes diagnosis, and the fact I now have to take insulin.

    So I'm on #insulin now and as of last week, I have been diagnosed as a #diabetic. I only received the insulin yesterday. An appointment with an #endocrinologist needs to be made though in order to figure out if it's Type 1/2 #diabetes.

    This, of course, came as a huge shock to me and my #BGL levels have been incredibly high as of the past few weeks, if not months, since discovery.

    My BGL has been ranging between 22-32+ mmol/L since finding it was so high all those weeks ago. But this could've been going on for months, and my #HBA1c is 11% for the past three months.

    That equates to an average of 15+ mmol/L daily for BGL, my doctor told me. And the normal range for a healthy individual is 4-8 mmol/L.

    Huge thanks to my friend, @hiddensoul, as well. He helped me get setup with how to inject my 10 units nightly at dinner time, while giving me a box of needles to use.

    I tried desperately to get needles off my regular pharmacist, but the stubborn bastard would not give them to me. He probably thought I was a drug user or something.
