[P] The reason this excites me is that it might suggest another path of activity vs. the one that's commonly believed in lieu of evidence. The mechanisms of schizophrenia don't really mesh with autism. I've had multiple diagnoses of the latter, but never of the former. So metformin acting on underlying schizophrenia was extremely unconvincing to me. I long suspected other factors at play.

[P] Ooh! Useful science! If not for the reasons one might expect reading the study.

This helps to shed light on metformin psychosis! When I was on metformin, I had the only psychotic break I've ever had in my life. It almost killed me. I immediately stopped taking it and isolated myself for a time. I now use other medicines and means to (successfully) manage myself.

Got my ankle completely destroyed by some careless soccer player 3 weeks back, kept me sidelined until last night with bruising down into my foot. It’s fine, just took a while to heal.
Unfortunately 2 weeks off is aggravating my insulin resistance. The margin for error is getting smaller with age, and I don’t like it.

This is why we’ve all heard “a cure is only 5 years away” for our entire lives. There’s no money - or at least not the disgusting amount of money - to be had in curing this pharmaceutical cash cow of a disease.

"Americans deserve cures and treatments for #cancer, #Alzheimers disease, ALS, #diabetes, mental health issues, and maternal mortality. But Vought has tried to hide his cuts and halted lifesaving work for research, treatments, and cures. That’s right—Russ Vought said no, and so he froze $15 billion in lifesaving biomedical #research."

The paradoxical frog produces giant tadpoles up to 22cm long that shrink down to just 8cm when they become adult #frogs, reversing normal growth patterns. Scientists think this strange strategy helps the species survive in temporary lagoons, and compounds from their skin might even help treat #diabetes in humans.
'Suikervervangers slecht voor geheugen'
"Veelgebruikte suikervervangers zoals aspartaam, sacharine en xylitol worden gelinkt aan snellere achteruitgang van het geheugen en denkvermogen. Vooral mensen van middelbare leeftijd en mensen met diabetes lopen risico."
"Voor het onderzoek volgden wetenschappers meer dan 12.000 volwassenen in Brazilië, gemiddeld 52 jaar oud. De deelnemers hielden bij wat zij aten en dronken en werden ruim acht jaar gevolgd.
"De resultaten zijn opvallend. De groep die dagelijks gemiddeld 191 milligram zoetstoffen consumeerde, liet een 62% snellere daling in geheugen- en denkvaardigheden zien dan de groep die slechts 20 milligram per dag binnenkreeg. Dit verschil komt neer op een effect dat vergelijkbaar is met 1,6 jaar extra veroudering van de hersenen."
"Het effect bleek het sterkst bij mensen jonger dan 60 jaar en bij deelnemers met diabetes. Dat is opmerkelijk, omdat juist vaak wordt aangenomen dat vooral ouderen kwetsbaar zijn voor cognitieve problemen. De onderzoekers benadrukken dat de studie alleen een verband laat zien en geen oorzaak bewijst."

Kurz gesagt: das erste mulmige Gefühl vor dem Insulinpumpenwechsel

"Type 5 diabetes is a newly recognised disease – here are all the types of diabetes you need to know about
Type 5 diabetes has just been recognised as a distinct form of diabetes by the International Diabetes Federation. Despite the name, there are more than a dozen different types of diabetes. The classification isn’t quite as tidy as the numbering suggests.
Here’s a clear guide to the different types, including some that you may not have heard of, along with information about what causes them and how they are treated."
Well I got 3 of the 4 garden beds trenched today before my BG fucked me for the last time pre-sunset. I guess I’ll have to do the other (arguably hardest) one another day 
Gotta order 2T of gravel for the bed bases & driveway too. My body is going to hate me. I had better buy all of the sugar at the supermarket this weekend.
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT I JUST WANT TO DO MY FUCKING YARDWORK

Fun fact: if you throw an empty plastic #Wegmans orange juice bottle at the kitchen sink in a hypoglycemic-fueled rage, the cap will shatter into a million jagged pieces with a uniform distribution across the kitchen.
My insulin pump is a Tandem Mobi. It has a capacity of 200 units. Some of this gets used in the infusion set and with priming. It's nearly impossible to overfill a Mobi cartridge with its design.
I've never gotten a session start above 185U.
Until today.
190U, hell yeah!
(it's a stupid victory, let me have it, lol)
