The hilarious thing is Insulin is insanely expensive because so many people have type 2 in America.
that's not why, the US subsidizing drug makers through enforced monopolies and market restriction through overregulation is why. fatties eating a massive fat tax is a side benefit
insulin is insanely expensive because people need it, what are you gonna do? not buy insulin and just die?
>insulin is insanely expensive because people need it, what are you gonna do? not buy insulin and just die?
The price varies drastically from place to place. In India a month's supply costs 5% of what it does in the US for example.
That's not exactly the reason. Insulin can be produced through modern techniques fairly cheaply, but there's too many loopholes in the law that allow corporations to monopolize it and charge exorbitantly for it.
The reason why the Type 2 diabetic population might play a part here is because Americans tend to like to punish people. It's a personal problem when you get type 2 diabetes, now that person must pay the price. This is a unhealthy part of american culture (which is definitely exploited by corporations) which is probably a factor in not passing laws to control insulin prices.
Tarded. Pharmaceuticals scale, so needing shit en masse makes it pretty cheap
>Tarded. Pharmaceuticals scale, so needing shit en masse makes it pretty cheap
There's literally a MASSIVE pharmacological shortage right now. You are stupid as frickkkkkkkkkk.
You thought you were going to pretend to be knowledge and informed on the internet to impress strangers? Sorry anon, not today, you don't have a fricking clue about the shit you're spewing.
Well, i mean, one is a disability and one is an acquired health issue. I don‘t get the joke.
I recently talked to a guy with genetically caused type 1 and his body actually produces insulin, but his immune system attacks it. That's why he has to inject insulin, because that works faster and sort of outpaces the immune response.
But he was totally positive about it. He's tracking his macros very carefully, which everybody should be doing anyway, and he also optimises the insulin intake for muscular hypertrophy, in accordance to his actual physical needs, of course. No PED bs.
>the body doesn't use insulin properly
False. The body of a type 2 diabetic does exactly what its supposed to do. Insulin resistance is a myth, a lie. Cells are supposed to close their doors to glucose when they are replete with energy to avoid glycation damage. In the process, the blood and vascular endothelium gets sacrificed, so that the muscle and nerves can live. It would not be a problem if people stopped shoving carbohydrates down their stupid necks all the time, but I digress.
Diabetes is a disease of Randle Cycle activation caused by ingesting a mixed diet of fats and carbs, resulting in its expression, which is glucose toxicity, that is the cause of all the diabetic complications. The cure for diabetes is, and always has been, eliminating one or the other energy source. Either eat very low fat, or zero carb. You can't eat zero fat, you will die. This is why I tell people to not bother with low fat, its stupid and deficient, eat zero carb instead, and your type 2 diabetes will disappear in short order.
To expand on that just a bit. This mechanism I described is the source of the vegan argument- cells full of fat can't process glucose. They are 100% correct, but being vegans, they are too stupid to really understand the implications, and think that just eliminating all fat from the diet is the answer to the problem. Short term, it even works, but the problem is in sustainability. A diet devoid of almost all fats does alleviate diabetes, but it is massively, insanely deficient in nutrients. Vegans are all starving to death, and have to take a bazillion different supplements just to slow the process down. Even when they do everything right, it takes around 5 years of being a strict vegan to encounter major health sequelae, possibly catastrophic health failure. Whereas eating a zero carb diet is 100% sustainable, and many thousands of people all over the world live this way with zero issues. Eat only red meat and fat, plus or minus eggs, plus or minus some vegetables if you REALLY have to, and you'll be absolutely fine for life.
Finally someone who gets it.
>caused by ingesting a mixed diet of fats and carbs
the fats come from adipose, insulin is supposed to prevent that
pufa makes adipocytes grow beyond their "real" size, which increases basal lipolysis
> the blood and vascular endothelium gets sacrificed, so that the muscle and nerves can live
Buddy, do you understand how the human body works? That has to be one of the stupidest things I’ve read.
I do, pretty well in fact. Do you have something to say that would refute what I just wrote?
Insulin resistance is a protective mechanism. Nerve and muscle is harder to replace than blood and endothelium. That's why in the context of energy over-repletion, glucose is turned away from the cell doors, dumped into the blood, where its disposed of in due time, or in the case of severe hyperglyceamia, its shunted out the kidneys. Which, btw, is absolutely horrible for them, and is a last resort. In our evolutionary history none of that was a big problem, since we had very little access to carbs of any sort, we'd never get the sort of carb boluses we get now, unless we found a hive full of honey or smth, which couldn't have happened very often.
If not for insulin resistance, people who eat too much energy in the form of carbs mixed with fats would suffer instant glycation damage, and suffer the fate of advanced type 2 diabetics, which is to say nerve and organ damage, necrosis and death. As is, they suffer endothelial damage. Hello heart disease.
Point to one thing that I said that is incorrect.
if your cell wasn't a b***h it would just uncouple its mitochondria and remove the excess energy as heat
nah, insulin resistance exists to save glucose for the brain in times of not-eating aka when you're releasing fatty acids

Yeah so is liver cirrhosis and an allergic reaction, that doesn't make it good just because it's protective
it's proven 0 carb diet crashes free test. I'm carb cycling
Proven by whom? Link me up. Honestly curious, my test is in the normal range rn, tho a bit lower than I'd like.
test and free test ain't same. test stays same.
looked it up after I was on 0 carb for more than 3 days and felt low test but maybe it's just shit genes
>calculated free test, calculation never verified for nocarb diets
your definition of "proven" bothers me
You can't cure diabetes
The two types aren't even related diseases
Don't apples have sugar?
They have fructose, which doesn't spike your insulin OR blood sugar that much. So moronic doctors think its good for diabetics, ffs. It's still a sugar, but it can only be metabolised in the liver, directly into triglicerydes. It's fricking horrible for you, literally the worst kind of sugar there is.
> It's still a sugar, but it can only be metabolised in the liver, directly into triglicerydes
I beseech you to not be a moron.
My brother has type 1 diabetes, he browses IST from time to time. He’s been my main inspiration to workout. I figured I’m healthy and don’t have it so what’s my excuse? Miss that homie like you wouldn’t believe.
I got type 1 7 months ago. my avg blood sugar is better than a nondiabetic. 20 mins max a day spent checking my sugar and injecting. of all the chronic diseases, this is the one that has the least effect on your life if you have a small amount discipline. most type 1's are morons though who eat too much food and cant count the number of sugar in their food to inject the right amount.
"Carbs cause type 2 diabetes"
No. Pounding carbs while being 50+ lbs over weight cause diabetes.
People with a bmi under 24 or low bf% don't need to worry about type 2 or blood sugar levels.
Almost like the doctrine of the Fall is a central part of Christian theology and there was no diabetes, death or disease before it.
>God
>Gay sex is a sin
>also God: Anal sex is highly pleasurable and men can even orgasm from it
Really makes you think
>anal sex is highly pleasurable
No it isn't, and no, I haven't checked. But I just know by looking at homosexual homos, its not about pleasure, its about being a demented, monstrous deviant
And yet, people are normalising their sugar levels and reversing diabetic complications all the time, and with very little actual effort by going on low carb diets and fasting.
stick a finger up your butt and press on your prostate and feel your dick tingle
Low carb doesn't reverse anything, it masks the problem. If you take a glucose tolerance test after being low carb you will fail. You only feel better because you cannot use sugar properly because of insulin resistance and you stopped putting sugar into your body. Thats not a fix. Thats like saying you have zero emission car because you didnt fill up the tank.
Not him, but I got type 2 from living a shitty lifestyle and fell for the "I can fix it without shit" memes and went low carb and all it does is frick up your kidneys when you have diabetes.
Type 1 diabetic here, it’s fine to manage, but if one is more OCD, like myself, then there’s a bit of mental anguish not being content with it being perfect 24/7. Having to manage an autonomic function every waking hour gets tiring. In great shape, working towards becoming a firefighter, but still, but realizing that no one else ever has to think about this stuff can be it’s own mental fatigue. Not the worst thing in the world, but it presents very specific things not a lot of other things do that one has to be knowledgeable and mindful of.
Reframe the issue. Being forced to do it has trained you to take care of your health, and I guarantee it gave you organisational skills in other areas of your life too, if you weren't at least somewhat organised and disciplined you'd be either very sick or dead by now. The people who never had to deal with what you're dealing are precisely the kind of people who're getting type 2

It never fails dude; “oh my grandma had to worry about ‘x’ so I know what you’re going through.” Like no bro, you definitely do not, and she didn’t either. Get that one quite often
