So there's got to be, like, diabetic friendly milkshakes and stuff using sugar substitutes, right? Like as a diabetic you don't need to cut out everything sweet (and in fact need to have stuff to bring your blood sugar up when it's low), it's that you have to be a lot more aware of the composition of your food and how much literal sucrose you're eating, since the problem is your body has trouble storing and unpacking sugar with glucose and glycogen?

Yeah, there are probably diabetic-friendly milkshakes and such, but they're generally not easily found. Also, some of the sugar free (using sugar substitutes) stuff doesn't get digested well and can give you the shits or farts. Ask me how I know. Sugar is a big problem, but easily available starches (potatoes, bread, grains like rice and wheat, pasta, etc) are a big problem too, they get converted over to complex sugars in your body during digestion, and that really throws your blood sugar out of whack.

If you can properly count carbs, you can take rapid acting insulin before the meal to offset whatever you're eating.

And personally I do excersize (weight lifting) when my insulin goes too high, that's usually when it goes over 10-11 mmol/l and like a few minutes of lifting is enough to make it go down real fast.

I don't know high it has to be before excersize means you get ketoacidosis issues.

EDIT: Also nowadays, for people who can afford it there are closed loop insulin pumps, the insulin pump directly reads a glucose sensor and keeps the bodys glucose in check on it's own.

It's one thing for Modesty to be unconcerned, seeing as she's an action hero who's received mental training under a magical guru and such, but it does seem a little weird for the other woman to be so unbothered.

There are at least a couple points in the novels where Modesty gets raped and uses one of those mystic yoga trances to shrug it off. In both of those cases, as in the strips here, it's in situations she deliberately entered to save someone else, but it's still uncomfortable and a reminder of O'Donnell's blind spots.

Forenoon communicates too well that the time you're speaking of is before noon. It is therefore clearly inferior to morning, which indicates that the time is about to become sunrise.

You can probably tell from context, but inflation was a huge problem in the Weimar Republic in the early 1920s. In fact the wikipedia article specifically gives November '23 as an example:

quote:

By November 1923, the US dollar was worth 4,210,500,000,000 German marks.
They did have up to 50 trillion Mark bills so really Hitz' boss is just being even more unnecessarily contrary. :v:

Here the king and Broman summarize an entire chapter of Elias finding his way to Stockholm and talking with several people while trying to find where Maria is held.

Many people seemed to think that she's a witch, but it's implied that the king is just horny (in real life he had at least two known mistresses)

If you're pulling them from GoComics, you can view the page source and look for the bit starting "https://assets.amuniversal.com/" - that link will take you to the image in the best resolution GoComics has it, I think.

For example that strip is

when you think your joke is so weak that you have to have a text panel prefacing it to explain the joke. I don't hate the joke I think it's kind of clever but I hate things where they unnecessarily explain the joke.
