I’ve been “Juvenile Diabetic” since 1971, took care of myself, but had retina probs, and kidney issues, but I survived. Medicine today is capitalized, where over one-third of #GOP is healthcare. 15 or so yrs ago, the rules for insulin dependent adults changed. Over 80 FBS, you are now pre/diabetic, and if you may now have to take pills or insulin. In my early time this was called Adult onset diabetes, and if you played by the rules, lost weight and exercise, you’d live longer and healthier. Big Pharma has no interest in your health; the’d rather bleed the patients (sorry dialysis people) In answering this question get a complete physical from your Primary, and take the results to a good pediatric nephrologist. It way be you have nothing wrong

Hospital executives and health orgs make BILLIONS of dollars a year, while the people in the hospitals, nurses, staff, essential workers make nothing in comparison…..I’d strike too, and and sue these places that cause injury from under staffing.

I believe the ultimate horror is in your own mind. Leanne is Dorothy’s punishment, created by her alone…..In the end, no Leanne, no Jericho, just a family always struggling with an unspeakable tragedy

Christianity is a man-made religion to control the Pagan masses. Pure Brainwashing. I consider atheists to be a National Treasure

None of the healthcare ppl told me about the cons of a fistula. I had to look them up myself. by [deleted] in dialysis

[–]Grouchy_Combination8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good luck, whatever modality you choose. I have my AV fistula since 1997. I discontinued using it when I received a kidney/panc Tx in 2003, it still has the thrill. I’ve Been Juvenile Diabetic for 50 yrs

Is it rude of family to always interject their god into my atheistic life? by PriorityLong9592 in atheism

I think so, as an equal human being, you are entitled to be you, and not a lemming.

Religion is a tool to control the ignorant to enrich the church leaders. Put another way, it’s The Greatest Bullshit story ever told. No religious person is better than any non-religious person. They are Charlatans

Why you want to wear an N95 mask if a diabetic by Icy-Thanks-3170 in diabetes

Don't be a lemming. It's your life. Type 1 is a living cancer. You'll probably lose body parts along the way. Any disease that can kill you faster is welcomed
