Wow! How interesting! I'm going to ask a very stupid question for a person who has diabetes for almost 20 years, but what causes diabetes? I know that autoimmune aggression, but what is the cause of autoimmune aggression? Is it only genetics? My knowledge is not enough to understand what you...

hello. Of course, you are not alone, I believe there are several thousand of us here :hilarious: let me try to say something good about diabetes, because you can read the bad stuff without me. There is an opinion that diabetes slows down aging. A few injections a day may seem intimidating, but...

when my endocrinologist went on maternity leave, it was also a huge tragedy for me! It's a pity that your doctor won't be able to consult you anymore, but (s)he's taught you a lot over the years, hasn't (s)he? And you can handle it yourself. In addition, a new therapist can also be an excellent...

my temperature did not rise above 37.5 at covid, but my head and throat ached. I gargled my throat with furacilin, also drank antiviral and aspirin to avoid complications on the vessels (but still after covid my vision dropped by 1 diopter), my bg was not normal, but I think more because I did...

to be honest, I thought it was a myth that t1 themselves came up with and believe in it, but it turns out that there is also some scientific justification

Haha, yes, that's why I made a joke about the twin I have not heard such a theory about t2, but in general you are right, it would be good to take a group of identical twins (at least 100 pairs) and see if there is a difference in age changes between those who have t1 and those who do not have...

In fact, it is quite simple to separate the influence of genetics from the environment - for this purpose, twins (especially identical ones) are studied. It is believed that where twins have a difference, the external environment has had an impact. Therefore, T1 is not considered a completely...

I have everything surprisingly clean in terms of heredity. Neither parents nor grandparents had any chronic diseases. The only thing that can have anything to do with hormone problems is that my mother had such an irregular menstrual cycle that she discovered pregnancy only in the fourth or...

interestingly, many people say that this is typical in their family. I wonder if this means a tendency to diabetes or autoimmune aggression. In theory, there should be a factor that triggered this autoimmune aggression... I remembered that I had been told since childhood (earlier than I was...

wow! That is, it really is, and we do not just console ourselves with this thought! I liked that this article talks about increasing life expectancy, it's a pity that our complications will not allow us to verify this personally

what a pity we don't have a twin without diabetes to test this theory!

I hear this very often from diabetics themselves, but I have never seen a serious scientific work on this topic (if you have a link, please share it). When I have to show my passport or tell people how old I am, they are usually very surprised that I am so old, and recently I was told that I...

Like diabetes. Thank you, I hope I will still live to old age, considering what is happening in my country right now :hilarious:

I eat them too often :arghh: it's just harmful and since I can't even gain weight, there's not much that motivates me to lead a healthier lifestyle, but the idea that if I neglect my life it will devalue Fred's work motivates me

Although I like the idea of slowing down aging

healthier?! I thought it was a reason to expect an early death and complications...

I was told that the phrase in the photo that hangs on my refrigerator is too good to just hang on the refrigerator and I need to share it here, so here it is pictured is Frederick Bunting (in case you didn't recognize him)

Of course, even if Hitler had discovered insulin, we would still have used it. In general, I don't even strongly object to the fact that people working in unit 731 were not shot. I just have a very strong idealization of doctors just because they saved my life. that feeling when you want to see...
