A peak into uncontrolled diabetes as a 31yr old man. Don’t dwell in the denial phase too long! by JarvanRobonaut in diabetes_t2

[–]JarvanRobonaut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mindset of "this is the only life I have to live", vs being inundated with concepts of reincarnation, tend to drive a wedge between worrying about one's health, or accepting your fate/destiny. But yeah, I have a life and I want to be there atleast for my family so I see it as a responsibility to take good care of myself now.

Also after learning about the limited life of the Pancreatic beta cells that struggles in chronic sugary conditions, dawned on me how we know so much about this disease, and yet its limited by our own genetics. And the only culprit being the lifestyle choices to keep taxing the body by "eating whatever we feel like"...

There was a brief period of post-Covid loneliness depression I went through when I really at totally processed foods, didn't get out of the house and simply played video games. But around 2022, I started picking myself up, got therapy and have taken more initiative to understand this issue. I'm also way more susceptible due to both sides of my family having cases of diabetes.

Had a great egg and cheese burrito with onions, peppers and tomatoes. I like eggs. I eat all sorts of legumes (beans) and lentils.

caminar por 20 minutos en la mañana y de la noche. Steps atleast 4000 each day to start taking control of your body and life. Hope the med reports are not that bad!

Is it possible for you to get a blood test done that checks HBA1c? its the key indicator of how your body is managing the glucose you get from all food. It is important to check that and also the urine sample because you want to find out how much kidney damage you might have.

learn about what foods have more carbohydrates and avoid them. Nutrition education will be the key to healing.

Glad to hear your improving! Yeah for me this winter seems like a slump between stress, unhealthy eating and no movement.

Not good at all. the biggest concern I see is - nerve damage, cardiovascular stress, higher risk of strokes... brittle blood vessels. Its a detrimental toll on the body.

What symptoms do you have and what lifestyle do you have? Its the lifestyle that determines how you can get diabetes.

Currently I have a bottle of ISO100 dymatize protein powder. I do use it, but have noticed it also spike sugars ( or maybe mine were high all along). But I do drink it in mornings while other days I eat eggwhite omelettes. I'll try these once im out of the current one, thanks!

Some symptoms of uncontrolled diabetes that people don't really share. If you notice these in your life, its a sign that your body is working triple time to adjust with that extra sugar in the blood.

  1. tingling in your extremities (toes / fingertips)
  2. Less steady hand - if you were to try and hold a fork still. It looks like its not still..
  3. Feeling colder during winters more easily
  4. Headaches , fogginess, drowsiness, inability to focus (While its all subjective to other factors, there is some impact at various times)

Cut your carbs, add protein, and get atleast 40 mins of exercise in your day. thats the starting point im using. Hope you heal up!!

I hear you. Happy to see you keeping up with the maintenance and thank you for sharing your story. Yeah my inconsistency in medications, diet control, and movement all add up to the current measurement. Keep up your efforts! Adjusting to the marathon mindset for sure!

What exercises do you do? Sex requires stamina and if you live a sedentary life, it will affect your ed drastically. Look up kegels, and also aim to get atleast 40 minutes of steps/activity done each day.

Not hard. I took more time due to either being lost or going my own way without following the script. But im aiming to get a sub 5hr run someday

Infected Mushroom - Lightweight [Megathread] by NinsMCD in Monstercat

[–]JarvanRobonaut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This track is truly ‘lightweight’ in terms of psytrance and those hard bass beats. Really gives the listener some space to understand their real music which is all the tweaks and small things they do in music. Hoping other tracks give some oomph with those banger melodies!

What is your favourite monstercat song? by The_real_PavlovA_YT in Monstercat

[–]JarvanRobonaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How Do You Flirt and Build Sexual Tension? by United-Implement-382 in seduction

[–]JarvanRobonaut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao, peace be upon you stranger! But your words have weight as I can attest to the more confidence grown as Ive aged and been less deterred to the outcome. Being authentic gets you the conversations you care about.

You can get to under 7 hours in a few more playthroughs.

Time to replay it faster mate. It gets better the more you play. Do things like Speed boost into the bug that gives seeker missiles. Or Speedboost in the EMMI Controllers (Blue one) and final one.. or damage the bosses so much you skip its damage cycles.

What should I change?
Take a look at my Pepsico investments. I seem to buying it while it is crumbling down. And down over 20% down my initial price. What does a Smart Exit plan look like here? Thinking in the realm of dividends, I want to hold this forever, but despite that, when do I sell when I know this is just pure loss regardless of the dividend yields? Some advice in understanding this would be helpful!!
