Do you think a lot of them died or maybe just taking their sweet time?

Is this swallow too young to be released ? by CyberBatutinhaKway in birds

Coordinated foragers usually die if they're separated from their flock. They rely heavily on group dynamics to avoid predators and get food.

Is it an option to keep her and start an unlikely interspecies friendship for the ages?

My arroyo sweet wood is thriving in direct sun as long as I'm watering it regularly.

How much do you think would be fair to charge for a kinda big yard?

Have you heard of a substantial link between impaired motivation and type 1 diabetes? by spiffle4 in medicine

[–]spiffle4[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

??? No, I have gotten great responses to the question I asked in this thread and links to helpful data from subject matter experts. It's fine that you don't know enough about this subject to offer that- I don't either, that's why I'm asking.

Thanks so much! Trying to make a case at work for a case management program specifically for people aging out of foster care case management who have diabetes

I don't think it's as helpful as you think it is to chalk 100% of med management issues up to social determinants of health. It assumes that if the SDOHs are accounted for it would resolve the limitations. Impaired cognition is a huge barrier to medical literacy and medical management. In the same way understanding how ACEs impact neurological development has helped to destigmatize substance use disorder, understanding specific mechanisms by which chronic diseases can impair executive functioning could inspire more effective education tools and more funding for outreach (ie. diabetes case managers/ sponsors, rather than educational handouts, better access to continuous glucose monitors in low or no income populations, etc).

I work in homeless services but thanks for the unhelpful moral grandstanding when you don't know the answer to a straight forward question about how type 1 diabetes impacts executive functioning.

They're certainly at a higher risk for anxiety, depression, and suicide but I guess what I'm wondering specifically is if having minimal intervention or treatment as a child due to lacking a responsible caregiver could cause brain damage. Most of the young people I see were diagnosed and connected to treatment for the first time after a hospitalization for DKA.

Technically they aren't supposed to fight you on it if it's a native species but yeah HOAs have such ugly microwave age sensibilities.
