I don't understand the difference between the types, so am I correct in assuming they can't possibly exist in one person at once? Like one is too much insulin and the other is not enough?

By my extremely shaky understanding, Type 1 means you don't produce enough insulin, Type 2 means that your body is so used to having insulin in its system that it develops a resistance. So no, I don't think it's very likely for someone to develop both.

Christo posted:By my extremely shaky understanding, Type 1 means you don't produce enough insulin, Type 2 means that your body is so used to having insulin in its system that it develops a resistance. Yeah, this is about right. Insulin is a hormone that's used by your body to control the amount of glucose (which is a vital energy for your body's cells) in your bloodstream: it bonds to cells and basically acts like a key in the lock, letting glucose be absorbed by them. If you have too much sugar, it gets stored in your liver as a reserve. Your body ideally generates insulin when necessary to make sure that your body doesn't get too much or too little sugar. Type 2 was called "adult-onset diabetes" for a while, and it's the one that people semi-jokingly associate with eating too much sugar: the insulin-producing cells get overworked and your body eventually stops responding to insulin (which can be genetic or caused by poor diet). Type 1 diabetes is where your body kills the insulin-producing cells, typically while you're still a fetus in the womb. If you ended up with both types of diabetes, you'd probably die because you're not producing insulin AND can't accept it.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:I don't understand the difference between the types, so am I correct in assuming they can't possibly exist in one person at once? Like one is too much insulin and the other is not enough? Type 1 is when your immune system decides to gently caress up your pancreas and therefore your insulin production, while type 2 is when your body builds up a tolerance for insulin, reducing its effectiveness. Double diabetes is a thing that exists, but I don't know how GMO insulin could specifically be the cause. Incidentally, practically all insulin used for modern treatment is GMO insulin, which has supplanted the previous practice of using animal insulin. The full text of the study is available online. I'm far from an expert, but from a cursory reading, there's some definite dishonesty in that infographic. -Each patient in the trial was already at an elevated risk for developing type 1 diabetes -The insulin autoimmune response is almost exclusive to Japan, where childhood type 1 diabetes is significantly rarer -Using recombinant human (GMO) insulin has absolutely nothing to do with the effect, and it had the same occurrence when animal insulin was the standard

Kajeesus posted:-Each patient in the trial was already at an elevated risk for developing type 1 diabetes That's the odd part. Bottled insulin is made from pigs, so it's as natural as getting a baboon heart. The GMO is probably closer to 'natural' or at the very least no more unnatural. And one of the biggest griefs about GMO is the risk of seed replicating and destroying or out-competing regular crops. Even if GMO insulin turned out to be terrible, it can't spread outside your body and if it did cause Double Diabetes, we could just stop using it. I'm going to guess GMO insulin is significantly cheaper than bottled insulin, which is one of the most expensive fluids out there.

There's a type 3 diabetes called "surgical diabetes" whereby se surgery or another has damaged or removed parts of the pancreas and your body can't produce enough insulin. In effect, it's very similar to type I

She had her gallbladder removed in 2010 after finding out that she had undiagnosed gallstones that led to pancreatitis, and then spent the next 6 years not knowing she had an umbilical hernia after the surgery until she ended up hospitalized a month ago. When she got into the hospital the second time, they found that she had actually been diabetic from the 2010 surgery this whole time and we never noticed. I had to help her figure out how to work her new glucose meter and lancing device when she got out. My girlfriend and I also used the meter out of curiosity to test our blood sugar, just to see if we were normal. It does hurt more than you'd expect such a tiny needle to.

I've seen it happen with young-earth creationists and the like. I believe that the universe is 6000 years old and all life descends from the animals on Noah's Ark. Here's a ton of simple, objective, unbiased evidence that conclusively proves all of that to be astonishingly wrong. Thank you so much! Because of those articles I have strengthened my faith and now believe even harder than before in Noah's Ark.

They love evidence, because it just proves how much super-strength-faith they must have to keep on denying it. They'll get VIP seating in Heaven or something, I guess.

I found a gold mine of a source for new quotes.quote:The more victimized the subreddit is, the more they complain to admins. Admins look into it and ban who ever technically broke the rules. So basically, if you do something within a feminism-spectrum subreddit, you're likely to attract attention from reddit admins. quote:Feminism is a remarkably unpopular ideology in the general population. It only gets advanced because the elite keep trying to force it on everyone else. It has almost no support outside of elite, upper-class circles. More people despise feminism, than call themselves feminists. quote:basically, if they align with the ideals of the SRS cult, they're going to have the admins on their side Edit:  Oh my God,
