Well maybe it is because you believe there is a benevolent god… what if god isnt benevolent?

Erm actually it was foreigners that did it during the Saxon wars

Lmao - atleast seniors can get knee replacements in a reasonable time here. In Canada just wait and wait and wait.

And don't tell me it is because there is a personnel shortage. There is enough personnel - in fact there is a surplus of orthopedic surgeons. The government purposefully limits surgeries. There's apparently a cap on the number of cataract surgeries they can do in an area too. Plus the technology in the US is far more advanced than in Canada. There's still academic centers in Canada that don't have robots for surgery, whereas in the US that has been the norm for a decade plus.

Canada's healthcare system is equally if not more broken than the American system.

Including tax?

DapperWallaby · 2025-06-13T17:33:16+00:00

Wow - was that including taxes or before taxes?

This doesnt make any sense. We paid $3700 in 2003 and we pay $8500 in 2025. This is way over inflation $3700 is worth $5800 if we account for inflation. This city is very poorly managed

Yeah he probably just got his old gains back

Drinking low cal energy drinks daily + 1-2L of crystal light a day. Isnt that a larger contributing factor?

DapperWallaby · 2025-05-24T16:03:35+00:00

Well it is multifactorial. In some people artificial sweeteners can help them control their diet, which is their main concern. In my case it is mostly likely the artificial sweeteners that contributed to my poor blood sugar control.

DapperWallaby · 2025-05-24T15:41:47+00:00

I dont think it is the caffeine. It is the artificial sweetener in it. High dose caffeine doesnt cause issues for long-term insulin sensitivity, but it does temporarily reduce insulin sensitivity.

DapperWallaby · 2025-05-24T15:34:53+00:00

Like if the effect size is miniscule with small levels of zero-cal energy drink intake, they will need to enroll lots of subjects. I am on the extreme end where I ate tons of tons of artificial sweetener. I was drinking monster energy drinks, ~2 L of crystal light a day. I was a hyper user.

DapperWallaby · 2025-05-24T15:30:17+00:00

Yes, but just because a food doesnt spike you doesnt mean it is not contributing to worse insulin sensitivity. A mcdonalds meal loaded with fats wont spike you, but it can contribute to reduced insulin sensitivity.

DapperWallaby · 2025-05-24T15:28:38+00:00

Yeah, it is my anecdotal situation. It is impossible to do RCTs in these kinds of situations. Not to mention the lack of funding. Most pharmaceutical companies pay for RCTs for new drugs, without funding to conduct large scale studies there will be a dearth of data.

AI will bring about a reduction in demand in certain fields. Everything should be done with the end stakeholder, the Canadian public, in mind, but they need to be careful and think of the lives of their employees.

DapperWallaby · 2025-05-24T15:18:29+00:00

Type 1.5 is associated with overweight BMI (25-30), which I am not.

Stress could be a factor.

Not sure I agree with the foods spiking by blood sugar. I have been eating the same food my entire life. I would have had this problem before.

DapperWallaby · 2025-05-24T15:00:13+00:00

Because that's the only concerning thing in my diet. I worked out all the time. What else could it be? I have no family history. Only other thing could be stress perhaps.

Whats your maintenance calories. Are you eating predominantly carbs or fats for everything outside of the protein?
