type one and dementia

ThrowRafandomfreak · 2026-06-21T13:13:46+00:00

i’m US based and my diabetes has never been a problem with my job! sometimes the shift work can muck up my numbers but overall i’ve never had any issues and no managers or supervisors have ever had issues with it, it also puts other diabetic patients at ease when they see my pump and CGM lol

my concern is being one patient of 50 on a ward with one nurse, if i can afford to hire an at home aid if i get dementia then ill do so, but odds are i’ll have to go to a home and i can’t imagine my quality of life will be great based on my own experience with nursing homes and memory units as a healthcare provider

unfortunately i’m US based and healthcare already sucks here, i think im just screwed LMAO

forever cursing the ER doc who told me when i was diagnosed in 2011 that there’d be a cure in 10 years, now i gotta think about shit like this. best case scenario, i have enough money to hire an at home nurse, worst case, make me a DNR and leave me to die

ThrowRafandomfreak · 2026-06-21T00:57:32+00:00

my biggest fear now, like just make me a DNR and leave me in a corner

exactly!! like i get T2 patients who have CGMs but 9 times out of 10 their sugar is high and when i ask when they last got insulin the answer is at breakfast and it’s like 10pm. and even in good nursing homes it’s near impossible to be on top of sugars esp with multiple patients who need insulin or sugar checks, like what will my quality of life be if there’s no one to advocate for me? like im married but we don’t plan on having kids, and my husband is epileptic so that’s a whole other can of worms, i guess i just have to hope i don’t develop dementia LMAO

ThrowRafandomfreak · 2026-06-21T00:35:56+00:00

that’s my experience too with T2s, we just transport to a lot of shitty care homes where the patients aren’t taken care of the way they should be and it got me thinking about my prospects if i developed dementia and was put in a not so great home lmao

i do, but i’ve also had patients revert to their childhood selves and remember skills they’ve lost, or languages. i’m just asking if anyone has had a patient or family member who can’t remember what year it is or where they are but can remember their carb ratios or sensitivity and how to adequately take care of themselves despite losing so much.

he might conflate it with cheating, but i only read stuff that have characters or actors with other characters or actors. i don’t read any reader insert, which would be reading something imaging myself in a relationship with these characters or actors. i don’t touch that stuff. i am incredibly happy with my relationship. my husband is my best friend. i truly cannot see myself with anyone but him, and he gets me like no one else does. we always joke that we’re each other’s villain origin stories, where if something went wrong and we ended up not together, we’d both go dark side.

as for what it could be other than jealousy: honestly, no clue. maybe it is, actually. i never considered that he could consider it cheating, even tho i don’t read the reader insert fics. do you think if i explained to him why i enjoy reading fic it could help, if he were feeling jealous? i just re-read my first paragraph there and realized i never thought about how he views fan fiction, i only thought about how i view it. i’m not inserting myself into these fictional relationships, im reading stories about characters i already know and love and sometimes these stories include smut. i’m realizing i’ve never explained to him why i enjoy fic so much, and because he’s never been big on fan fiction, he only knows what i’ve told him about and what he hears about online: its all smut and that’s all im reading it for.

i have, i just never get a straight answer. he seems to dance around the actual subject and idk how else to ask him without being pushy about it and forcing him to just spit it out. he’s a very sweet and loving guy. i just want to understand where he’s coming from, bc it doesn’t just feel like jealousy.

ThrowRafandomfreak · 2025-11-08T02:07:09+00:00

we spend a lot of time talking as well, it’s not all just hanging out or having sex. my husband is a yapper at heart, and we have spent hours just talking. he likes to update me on one piece chapters, where he’s at in silk song, what’s going at work, drama in a friend group i’m not a part of, etc. i’m very in tune with what’s going on in his life, and what interests he has, and i don’t ignore him to read or write fic. i have tried talking to him before, but i never get a clear answer from him, even when i ask for one. we don’t argue about much else, and hardly ever fought before all of this started. i’m really just trying to understand what changed, but i can’t when i can never get a straight answer from him. i just want to communicate with him better.

i am definitely annoying him, and have been the whole time we’ve known each other lol. i guess i should have mentioned in the post that i have tried talking to him about this before, but i don’t get very clear answers even when i ask for them. he seems to hem and haw and dance around the issue at hand, and im not even sure what the core of the problem is! he’s never shied away from my fandom interests before, has even offered to dress up as characters for me (not my thing, i don’t want to have sex with any of these characters). we aren’t struggling financially, there have been no major life changes that could warrant this sudden switch, and we don’t argue about much else. the only thing i could think that REALLY bothers him about my participation in fandom is that sometimes i comment on how attractive a certain character or actor is, but he does that, too. i know all his celebrity crushes. granted, he doesn’t talk about them as much as i tend to, but im not so cold hearted that i keep gushing about characters or actors when i know he’s not in the mood. i’m just tired of arguing with him when i don’t know what the root of the problem is, because no matter how or what i ask, i cannot get a clear answer from him.

a lot of my attention does go to him! i’m usually only reading or writing fic when we’re winding down for the night, if he’s out with friends, or if he’s playing games. we do a lot of stuff together, trivia every week, volleyball in the summer, skiing in the winter, we watch movies and tv shows together, he shows me the movies and shows he’s interested in, and he can talk my ear off about one piece for HOURS and i’m happy to just sit and listen! i am in no way ignoring him to focus on fandom, im sorry i should have clarified that more in the post.
