If #BigPharma are further encourage to manufacture #weightloss #drugs, they will persist in creating a shortage of #noninsulin #injectable #diabetic #medication.
#Diabetics are not able to get their #prescribed #GLP1 because of the focus on #magical #jabs for #weight management. Stopping these #drugs means weight gain unless you can control #eating without them & that was the problem in the first place!

“#Illness caused by #obesity causes people to take an extra four sick days a year on average, while many others are forced out of work altogether.”
Where's #Wes' #evidence?
Few #companies track of your #weight at the time you give them a #Fitnote?

Is he making his assumptions on #heart conditions & #diabetes T2, also assuming they're all #obese which isn't true & that all #diabetics have poorly controlled #bloodglucose, which they don't.

Hey fellow #T1D #T2D #diabetics, are there any good #LowCarb cereals out there? I really miss cereal but my body just can’t handle the BG spike anymore.

Follow-up question: are there any that are less than $1,000/oz?

Thank you in advance!

As a recently diagnosed diabetic on insulin & all the common pharmaceuticals, I keep getting told by people to shield my digestive system from sugar using fiber & eating vegetables first.

So I guess I'm gonna look into these supplements. Capsules would be most convenient for me.

#SenBernieSanders calls for meetings (and possible Congressional Hearings) with #pharma execs over the prices of injectable #insulin. The medications cost under $5 to make a month's supply, and the pharma companies charge patients over $900 for the same amount of each drug.

A Startup Has Unlocked a Way to Make Cheap #Insulin - https://www.wired.com/story/cheap-insulin-biosimilar-rbio/ absurd that some #diabetics in some countries can't afford this life-saving substance

First, they came for the Ozempic
Then they came for the monitors

What's next -- snorting insulin?

Who Should Be Tracking Their Glucose? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/12/well/eat/glucose-blood-sugar-monitors.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Jk0.SX3P.tiTa-zERm5am&smid=nytcore-android-share

Interesting article for type 2 #diabetics https://studyfinds.org/diabetes-gene-blood-sugar/

Ok #diabetics, I'm concerned about pre-diabetes but my #chinesuum Amazon blood glucose meter was WAY under reporting and I wasted a trip to urgent care. What brand on Amazon doesn't suck?

It wasn't user error. Ugent care tested 108 and then my device registered 70 while the doctor watched me self test.

I get really tired after I overeat. Doctor's appointment on schedule. My main concern now is I need to know I can accurately measure blood sugar because of ADHD autism spectrum type compulsion.

Oatmeal diet for diabetics.

In this post, I provide links for the trilogy of brief videos on the benefits of oatmeal for diabetics.

I'm going to give it a go, but I think I'll use oat groats (intact whole-grain oats) rather than oatmeal (which in this context refers to old-fashioned rolled oats).

All I wanted to do was sit down. I hate life sometimes. To jump straight to it, my insulin pump infusion set ripped out because I snagged myself on it. Probably only #diabetics will understand. #fml

I've read a reasonable number of research papers investigating various aspect of #T1D and a lot of scientists rely on HbA1c to judge the impact of what ever they are researching...

IMO this seems to entirely miss the point 9/10 times.

#Diabetics actively manage their BG so something can be having an effect, it can be taking more effort to control BG but Hb1Ac remains unchanged.

Hb1Ac isn't a good measure of impact.
