I hate when type 2s think that we are the same.

I was unfortunately on Facebook when I came across a post where someone asked whats the highest blood sugar someone had was. Someone said idk, it just read hi on the meter. A type 2 comes along and says "you need to go to the emergency room immediately" mind you, this was in the past and obviously the person didn't die.

So I commented, as a type 1 I wouldn't go to the ER if I wasn't feeling nauseous/vomiting. It would be a waste of time to go to the ER if I could fix it myself.

This man commented how his doctor says otherwise and he was almost 400 as a type 2 and peed himself (? Not sure why he told me this ngl), then he went to the ER that his A1C was 14 and that I should never tell another diabetic like him not to go to the ER. And basically said good luck when I die from this.

Like dude, that's not what I said and we are not on the same level at all. Type 1 and type 2 are not the same and I hate when they act like we are.

Does anyone know how I could reset this?

I accidentally entered 1xx instead of 2xx and it said I reached my goal weight when I haven't got there yet :( I miss the milestones.

Is it bad that I just want to be skinny so badly.

Like, the only thing I want for myself is to be skinny. I'm so excited to lose the weight and I'm excited every single shot day.

I started in May and now in August, I've lost almost 40 lbs. I feel so much better already. Clothes are noticeably looser and more comfortable. But no one else has noticed because I still have about 80 lbs to lose, and I know that its going to be slower than the first 40. I'm just so pumped for the day I reach my goal weight. Hopefully in the next year 🤞

Edit: someone really sent me a reddit cares message 💀

Taco salad for lunch today!

509 calories and 44 grams of protein. If you didn't add the quest protein chips, this would only be 369 calories but I like the extra protein and crunch.

Lentil curry with jasmine rice and garlic "naan"

693 calories and so filling! It would be even less calories if you used cauliflower rice instead of jasmine

Tonight's dinner: bland steamed tilapia, potatoes and jasmine rice. The food poisoning recovery special.

I already know I made too much and I won't eat half of this, also it doesn't taste very good.

Am I doing this correctly?

I've been making recipes like this for a while, but I just want to make sure I'm doing this correctly or am not missing anything. I'll weigh every ingredient by grams or milliliters, input it here, add all of the weights up, and put that as the total recipe size. Then I'll weigh out the serving I want by grams. Any notes, or is this the right way to do this? I'm always surprised by how low the calories seem.

Genuine question for type 1s

This is a genuine question, not rage bait, not to incite any further hate surrounding type 1 v 2. I see this sort of thing DAILY on my algorithm. Is this genuinely reality for type 1s? Are type 2s plural, regularly (not just the odd moron you would have in any community) actually putting down type 1s and saying it’s easy? Because I never see it.

I personally think it’s non diabetics who spread this sentiment, not type 2s. This includes healthcare providers.

The comments on these videos are always vile. We did it to ourselves because we’re fat lazy slobs blah blah blah. The content I see from type 2 creators is them defending themselves from hate, spreading clear awareness and education on type 2 specifically or highlighting differences, nothing is at the expense of type 1.

(Do not send hate to this person btw they’re clearly burnt out and tired)

For reference in case it matters to anyone I am a 35 year old type 2, not fat just average , PCOS, I am insulin dependent but still also eat low carb due to extreme insulin resistance. I am currently struggling with fluctuating highs and hypos in the heatwave. And finally, I don’t think I have it easier than type 1s in any way, I’m just existing with the disease.

[MT] can my landlord charge me for the bottom of this oven, even if I scrubbed it several times with oven cleaner and it wouldn't budge?

How to fix drywall on textured wall?

There's 2 small holes that were made while moving out and i'd like my deposit back. Any tips would be appreciated!

Major construction outside my door, no one notified beforehand.

I woke up to loud banging and loud talking and machine noises outside my living room window. Turns out there was a large drilling machine feet from my front door (on the left) drilling a large hole. Not one email from my rental company to give a heads up, nothing.

​

On top of that, they had boxed my car in with their equipment so I was almost late to work. If they had told me about said construction, I would have moved my car.

​

They then proceed to jackhammer right next to my neighbors door (a few feet from mine) it was so loud that all if us needed to leave. My neighbors have a 2 year old and they definitely should have been warned. Especially since there is now a hole feet from their door as well.

​

Oh and one of the workers was standing right next to my open windows and smoking a cigarette which I think was incredibly rude since it made my entire living room stink like cigarettes.

​

Just venting really, i've had nothing but bad experiences with this rental company and just moved in less than a month ago. Never had one be this shitty.
