does echi have the diabeetus?

i do and they did some genetic tests last year and in a week or two i find out the results because its quite likely im not type 1 OR 2 but a special snowflake kind of diabetic called MODY3 which basically means

well context: type 1 your pancreas has been destroyed so you cant make insulin so you NEED to add insulin to yourself to survive
type 2 is insulin resistance so you need more and more insulin to survive, and the progression is that your pancreas starts out making lots and then gives up and you rely on added insulin (not everyone gets that far)

mine might be that im not insulin resistant but my pancreas is hosed and doesnt output enough insulin to do the normal job BUT this is easily fixed by very low doses of sulphonyureas like glipizide

the problem there is that glipizide makes you fat coz insulin is the signalling hormone to store energy as fat and not burn it so you increase insulin to bring sugars down and that measn you get fatter than a normal person would on th same food

if i eat almost no carbs, i dont need insulin and my sugars are fine. and weight comes off. seems like long term best plan

there are some interesting observations to be made. people know diabets means high blood sugars. so people treat high blood suagrs, bring them down. does this work? what does this fix? well as it turns out it doesnt change risk of heart attack at all. just risk of microvascular damage like losing toes (my dad has lost 3) and eyes n poo poo


either way, im all about low carb high fat. next week got blood test lets see how three months of mostly-great self control w/r/t eating low carb makes me look


also - if you brought your systtolic dfown from 135 to 115 mmhg in population, you would only reduce the chance of having a stroke by 1/500... not that flash. and if you consider that halfiing the salt in your diet can only bring your BP down by 5 points or so.. hardly seems worth it although reducing salt is high on the list of haert health poo poo

by far the best thing you can do is walk walk walk walk and yeah everyone dies

i think the interesting thing about medicine is that say, blood pressure. its just a number. is high blooid pressure bad IN OF ITSELF?

well, either way, someone has high BP, so give them a drug that brings it down

now that sounds all well and good but ultimately it only really makes a lick of difference if the reason why yiou dont want high BP (lets say heart attacks) go away

but sometimes they don't. sometimes, despite bringing the number down, the incidence of the end-stage is the same

BUT, its easier to treat a number

see cholestrol. ther eis no (or insufficent) evidence that statins have any effect in primary prevention of heart attacks (meangin a persons first one), although there is evidence they reduce the incidence of secondary (their second or more)

BUT since higher choelsterols are associated with higher riosk of heart attack and statins bring them down then it stands to reason that statins should prevent heart attackls. so thyey are prescribed, in a sort of, cover all our bases sort of way.

we have what like 4 mill people in zn and 700,000 take statins. and yeah less people die of heart attacks

when my dad had a heart attack they had givin him a clot buster and a stent within about 3 hours of it happening... we are VERY good at preventing deaths from them now. is this statin related or improved medical advancements?

anyway.. be skeptical. most people dont need they drugs bu they stress like gently caress if they dont have their blood pressure meds

high bp in and of itself causes micro-ruptures of capillary beds in the brain, leading to a harmful accumulation of scar tissue

i mean, what does that do


it also causes cardiac hypertrophy

check this poo poo out, the heart getting all macked and buff from pumping high blood pressure around

not good for flow

it's a mini stroke, so anywhere from a lot to a little damage, it's hard to tell until you cut the brain open and most living people object to that

i do agree with you about doctors treating numbers and maybe not being as thorough as to how those numbers relate to the overall health of a pt

its not so much doctors though but medical establishment setting guidelines, like, all LDL cholesterols over X need to be treated with statins


welp

im not going to take no fuckin statin (unless i have a haert attack)

70-80% of all diabetics die of CVD. regardless of anything else.

coz i talk to people about betes all the time they talk about avoiding sugar like sugar aka sucrose is something super evil but then eat noodles or some poo poo and i try to make it clear but they dont get it that ALL carbs are "sugars" regarding blood glucose and in fact sucrose has a lower GI than one would expect coz half of sucrose is fructose and we dont directly metabolise fructose into glucose so it has a smaller effect on your blood glucose levels, although its worse overall but still

my point is that it would be just as offensive if you were baking bread
