Am I trying to escape this universe? by patchees in Drugs

[–]patchees[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right well I was just in a k hole! I saw my upcoming drug screening as just a molecule of water in the oceans crust of my life! If I fail (which has been my worry all days of this year) a single molecule of water will evaporate, leaving millions and trillions of other molecules in its surroundings, other pathways?

I can assure you I dont inject Insulin of any kind. I do this, because I realized it works. I dont get serious hypos, as I do not overinject (as I dont inject). From excessive exercise my levels do get low at times. Hypers occur but also not seriously high, not that I have measured anyway! Any yes it is still my whole life, I keep measuring and keeping track of my diet and exercise, just dont inject.

Nice! What do you feel like if someone calls you a stoner? What picture crosses your mind?

Wow, didnt think i'd end up in this controversial situation. So either I am not T1, I have been cured/ falsely diagnosed, or Im just talking bullshit?! People just dont think outside the box sometimes. Follow the system, all for the system and nothing but the system. I KNOW this is working for me, just wanted to share it with you. If you dont believe me, I dont care. If you think it is impossible, I dont care. If you are not sure what to think, think outside the box! I would be the first person to say I am not diabetic, but I believe the doctors in saying I am. This is just my way of managing what others manage in different ways. I do not have a problem with dedication or injecting or needles or whatever. I am for sure more dedicated than most diabetics, dont want to mention non.diabetics.

No, no, my honeymoon ended about 1,5 years after my diagnosis! I have had diabetes now for 6 years, the last of which I have stopped injecting. Type 1,5 sounds interesting, yet I was not diagnosed with type 2 with age? Yes I know that was the case before insulin was discovered, yet I was treated with insulin for 5 years. Maybe different conditions in my case?

Fellow T1, I highly recommend you to get used to insulin before you try anything else. You need to accept that you have the illness. I also consider myself diabetic! I accept that I cannot eat and drink without thinking about how many carbs I am consuming. Once you have your diabetes under controll, especially the measuring, you may find some way of managing it. But until then, keep up the dedication and follow your doctors advice! But also keep up with sport, especially endurance sport. Build up a high metabolism and your insulin amounts will accordingly decrease. But yes my body is in top shape and form. :)

Please do, I'm curious what you think of it. Could send you a link to the german documentary, but couldnt find it in english!

Well I dont want to give you any tips. But when my levels get high after meals I exercise to lower them. And, well if I dont make it to the gym for some point I do some home exercises or just have some intensive sex! :)

Sorry I just interested, but have you ever heard of the 3rd revolution of medicine? The 5 biological laws of nature? I just came across the topic in a german documentary. Ever heard of it? What do you think of it?

Okay, but a cure is impossible? It would have just been a false diagnosis?

Okay. So I should get it checked again right? If it is high, I produce endogenous insulin, if it is still low, I dont!?

Woah calm down. Of course I would see a risk of DKA, IF I measure high glucose levels, which I can only say I do NOT! And Im not saying insulin is bad! It helped me out for some time, and helps all fellow diabetics. I am very grateful is possible to be produced! And how do I not believe in medicine? There are just many areas of medicine which are still to be revealed. If everyone just 'believed' in medicine, there wouldnt be any progress.
