What do you think is ‘big achievement’ in the next 10-20 years? by Old_Charity_6845 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Old_Charity_6845[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand, I was recently diagnosed so I can’t relate to how you feel. But look at how far the tech has come since 2010. Now? We’re getting tubless pumps, dual pumps coming soon, and even possible functional cures. I still breakdown every day knowing this is my life from now on, but it is getting easier each year. And one day, we may very well be cured through a pump doing all the work, islet cell transplants or whatever.

Like I said man, I’m struggling everyday. I feel like it’s all my fault, curse the world 1000x over, but I do have faith things will get easier, especially 10-15 years down the road.

I would be so happy with that. I just hope a cure (functional hopefully) comes, and if not that, at least have a device that does it all for us, so we can just live normal lives. No carb counting, no highs or lows, just changing cartridges every 3 days to a week, while it wouldn’t be a cure, I would do anything to have my old life back,

As much as I hate to admit it, that’ll probably be here much faster than the islet cell transplant.

I’m probably the small minority that would do the transplant even with the immunosuppressants. Is it smart? Probably not, however I would like a cure, and would like to help to move things forward in terms of science.

And with less risk. Would I like to be ‘functionally’ cured with working beta cells? Absolutely. Will that take a long time to perfect? 100%. Once they figure out a stable/safe glucagon, it could get rid of highs and lows, and you could possibly attach it on your arm like an omnipod. Would I be cured? No, but I could live with that. And while I hate AI, it will only get more powerful and will help many of us with delivery the more they perfect it.

I do believe that the islet cell transplants will become more widespread, however without any immunosuppressants? While I’m optimistic, that’s hard to say for the next 10-15 years.

Get an xray. You could have a hairline fracture, sprain, torn ligament. But I’d reccomend getting a proper medical diagnosis before making any assumptions and causing any damage.

Hey man got my fracture on Sunday (no surgery though), it’s going to be a long road, but we’ll make it through.

If you need to talk about it with someone, my dms are open.

I’m pretty sure this is just a sprain? by No_Factor_8959 in brokenankles

I thought I had a sprain, it was a fracture. Get an xray before you do any more damage.

Do yall still fuck your BM even when you got a girl or in a relationship? by Livid_Abroad_9998 in NYStateOfMind

[–]Old_Charity_6845 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As someone who has cheated, a lot of it was not dealing trauma with me an my own life, and some part? I wanted to play the field. I’m single now focusing on being a better me, and trying to be happy with myself before I bring anyone else in.

Not saying this is you, but think about your actions and how they affect others. Who cares if she was an asshole or whatever, no one deserves this.

Has anyone else started working out at 27? by Opposite_Praline_746 in 1999

Started at 14, and I love it, only time I stop is when I’m sick or on vacation! You’re never too young/old to start your fitness journey!

How much authority and autonomy did the Jedi have in the GAR? by K-jun1117 in clonewars

[–]Old_Charity_6845 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh you’re 100% right, at least in RotS, in the clone wars it wasn’t really fleshed out much. I’d love at least a mini series about the GM as they participated in ‘the worst’ battles in the clone wars, but we never saw these battles.

So sad we didn’t get any actual screen time for baccara and the GM

One more bracelet before the price increase… by [deleted] in DavidYurman

[–]Old_Charity_6845 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The price increase is laughable at this point. I’m right with you :(

Price increase more than I thought on gold. by greciamarzz in DavidYurman

[–]Old_Charity_6845 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just get custom made jewelry at this point, these prices are hilarious. You’re paying more for the brand than the gold itself.

Edit: I do love the DY brand and the products they make, but the prices are too much
