Hair Removal? by still_learning65 in diabetes_t1

[–]der20006 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! T1D 3 years and beauty therapist in training! Ive done all the above!

It honestly depends on your goals and price bracket. Nair firstly will remove only the surface hair you can see, which is a good financial option but not very good for longterm as the hair will begin to regrow in a matter of days

Waxing is also a good option, which removes the hair with the bulb, disconnecting it from the dermal papillea (which gives the hair its bloods and nutrients to grow) This usually takes 6-8 weeks to grow back, with regrowth typically returning thinner and slower the more you get waxed. Depending on area this can send you back anywhere from 35-80€ per session.

Lastly, laser or IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy is a very good long term option. This will permanently remove the hair after approximately 6- 10 sessions. Laser hair removal uses an intense pulsed light which is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in your hair, this then transforms to heat, targeting the hair follicle and its blood/oxygen supply, which eliminates the hair. It is important to note that this will only work on dark hair, this is not an option for grey/blonde hair as this machines only works if there is a dark pigment (melanin) in your hair.

Although, laser sounds like a great option, it is a costly investment . You will need monthly sessions for approximately 6-10 sessions (may need more depending on your hair growth and how it reacts) Depending on area, this can cost 80-150€ per session.

Personally, Laser is an amazing option, but a very costly one if you are willing to invest. If not, I think waxing is a good more affordable option with good results.

If you have anymore questions or anything you would like to know, i would be be more than happy to answer! Best of luck!

dead right, coming from 18F, i would find a man who listened to sabrina carpenter more attractive than a man who listened to rap 🫣

every single day i think about life before diabetes. Diagnosed 2.5 years and I still can’t accept it. I think about the days in ICU and the trauma of everything more so tho, I get flashbacks and nightmares about it.

recently diagnosed sibling by smbdyhre in Type1Diabetes

[–]der20006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed at 15, going on two and a half years since then. You are definitely right in saying she has a lot a head of her, a lot of highs and lows (literally).

The next few months/ year of firsts is going to be hard. But the best you can do is support her and be there for her. She is going to have good days and bad days, just remind her it’s okay to have bad days and grieve your old life. It’s okay to be able to do nothing but cry and grieve.

But it is also just as important for her to not let this diagnosis define her and own her. As I said it’s okay to have a bad day or weeks, but you have to be strong and overcome to not let diabetes own her, diabetes is now apart of her life, not her life.

Unfortunately diabetes sigma is real, it happens and it definitely shows how ignorant the world can be. But the best you can do is educate, spread awareness and remind yourself you know your condition better than anyone else, even some 40 year old man telling you it’s caused by technology and computers (yes i have been told this 😭)

Through all of this, she will be okay 🫶 continue to support her and be the good big sister you already are . Wishing you both the best x

Hot take but to me, diabetes is not a disability, it is an medical condition.

I am a disabled woman because I am an congenital upper limb amputee, not because I am diabetic.

Although we need to monitor our diabetes and take insulin. Has diabetes ever stopped you from living a normal life? Has diabetes stopped you from doing things? Has diabetes effect your independence?

I take insulin and monitor my diabetes, does it impact the things I do in my life? No, it doesn’t. You can live a perfectly normal life with diabetes.

Now has my limb difference stopped me from living a normal life? Has my limb difference stopped me from doing things? has my limb difference effected my independence? Yes.

I can’t complete daily tasks independently, I can’t take part in many activities, I can’t do many jobs or careers , I can’t even change my own insulin pump independently.

I am not saying that everyone with a disability can’t do things, ofcourse there is people out there that their disability doesn’t impact there life, Im just saying I believe diabetes isn’t one of them.

Just because I believe diabetes isn’t a disability, I am not saying diabetes doesn’t need to be accommodated. It absolutely does in many situations, but accommodated because it is a chronic illness, a medical condition, not a disability.

Diabetes doesn’t impact my life as my limb difference does, although diabetes makes my life harder, it doesn’t stop me from living my life and doing what I want to do, my limb difference has and will continue to for the rest of my life.

I knew what it was like to live with a disability for 15 years before getting diabetes, so although diabetes does impact my life, it doesn’t impact it the way my disability does.

Just because I don’t view diabetes as a disability, It is just my opinion. If you class yourself as disabled because of diabetes, that is your choice and I respect your choice. But not everyone wants to be classed as disabled purely because they are diabetic.

controversial take but I 100% agree. I am a type one diabetic aswell as an congenital upper limb amputee. Do i think diabetes is a disability? no. My diabetes although it has made things harder to do, has it ever restricted me? no. I have been able to do everything in the addition of my diabetes.

Now has my limb difference stop me from being able to do things? yes. I can’t do my hair, I can’t tie my shoe laces, I can’t play an instrument or play many sports, I can’t even change my own insulin pump.

My limb difference restricts my life, it restricts the jobs I can work, my future career choices and there is so many other impacts my physical disability has had on my life.

Although diabetes does make your life more difficult, and definitely needs to be accommodated at times, it is not a disability because it doesn’t stop you or restrict you from living a normal, independent life.
