i don't know what this is from...

I can guarantee his day was 10x worse than yours. Fail.

Men that use 'whore' and 'slut' in casual derogatory fashion are misogynists generally speaking.

fuck me. she's a pretty one alright.

That's your 'more serious note'? For shame.

One of her tweets: "There is a prostitute impersonating me in Oregon her name is Kandi Kane her number is xxx-277-0737 some one meet up with her n beat her ass"

Out of curiosity do you eat other cakes with your buttocks or just hash ones?

Type 1 is an autoimmune disorder with a polygenic basis that's not entirely understood. If one identical twin has it, there's only a 30-50% chance the other will have it. If a parent has it, there is only a 10% chance the child will have it. There are definitely environmental factors at play which affect the immune system. The best guess is that type 1 is an immune response gone wrong and the beta cells get killed as a byproduct of the body fighting off an infection. Most people aren't type 1 from birth. I don't know where you got that. I once read the peak age for diagnosis is 14, though anecdotally speaking most people I know got it before their teens but after infancy. There isn't a "pre" type 1 per se, but there is a honeymoon phase. During this time the body is attacking the pancreas but there is still some functioning. This can last for up to a year. Sorry to be pedantic. It's an area of life I wish I were less familiar with.

Well written post. Just as a point of clarification, I was a test subject in the studies I was involved with, which were on experimental medical devices and not glucose metabolism. I've been type 1 for 29 years, so sitting in a room with research endocrinologists for 10 hours will lead to some lengthy conversations. They knew their shit and were somewhat critical of diabetes care even amongst professionals. I'm looking forward to my next study. The whole concept of 'insulin resistance' just isn't understood with a lot of depth, and it annoys me. Exercise and eating well are the endocrinological equivalent of going to a psychiatrist and him suggesting, "You should probably stress less and enjoy life more." The greater the understanding the more targeted the treatment.

oral, from the latin oralis, meaning 'of the mouth'. aural, from the latin auris, meaning 'ear'. you can get away with it here, but if you're ever making a written request for a blow job it could spell trouble.

You know there's science involved here, right? You don't get to just come to arbitrary conclusions based on reasoning. Firstly, people with 'addictive' personalities often have experienced a high degree of trauma in their lives. They don't know to love themselves, take care of themselves, whatever. You can take away the bottle but if the underlying causes aren't addressed then the addiction will resurface once willpower, a not inexhaustible resource, runs out. And there's the neurological component. Once could compare to opium and heroine as they're both morphine. But surely you could realize that sweet-n-low is not like sugar even if they're both sweet and act similarly on the tongue? Once upon a time, when we were kids, adults talked about drugs in a very general sense (bad, don't do them), and our brains lumped them all together. Unfortunately it's usually drug users who take the time to actually identify this bias.

you've got it backwards, bro. Also wrong. Type 1 is autoiummune, type 2 is metabolic. Weight isn't related to autoimmune destruction, but to increasing metabolic dysfunction.

You would only know if your sugar were high if you were testing your blood sugar, and you'd only be testing your blood sugar if you were diabetic. Doesn't seem like an ideal situation. Her doctor is right. Exercise depletes the cells of glycogen, which is stored glucose. When glycogen is depleted insulin is more effective in getting glucose out of the bloodstream and into the muscles cells, preventing high blood sugar. For this process "activity" is actually just as valid as exercise. I think doctors push exercise on people too often, and as a result they end up with a high percentage of non-compliant patients. Just walking, yardwork, whatever, is enough to initiate this process so long as it's not done on a full belly. When it's done on a full belly the body relies on the food for energy instead of the stored glycogen. I partake in diabetes studies with a research clinic here in california so I'm relatively in the know. // Anyway, sorry to hear that, themajjestic. good luck on your journey.

Man.. I'm jealous. That sounds awesome. I do however have a friend who ate two pot cookies before boarding a plane. He took off his clothes in the bathroom and went crazy, which led to an early landing of the plane so he could get off. When he's not doing that he's really high functioning in his field. Kind of a funny anecdote but marijuana is something with which a certain amount of caution isn't unwarranted. Loki, who seems to have disappeared from this forum, made the valid point that the greatest argument against legalization is the absence of a marijuana sobriety test for drivers.
