I saw a comment on your blog that says 'the way you eat does not cause diabetes'...are you able to expand on that or provide a source I could read? I've been told by doctors that my pre-diabetes was due to weight gain because I get more hungry on my anti psychotics and I'd like to fact check what they've told me! Thank you so much!
There are a lot more factors at play in diabetes — more complicated than “I had a cupcake at lunch.”
Pre-diabetes was rejected as a diagnosis by the World Health Organization (although it is used by the US and UK) - the correct term for the condition is impaired glucose tolerance. Approximately 2% of people with "pre-diabetes" go on to develop diabetes per year. You heard that right - TWO PERCENT. Most diabetics actually skip the pre-diabetic phase.
There are currently no treatments for pre-diabetes besides intentional weight loss. (Hmm, that's convenient, right?) There has yet to be evidence that losing weight prevents progression from pre-diabetes to T2DM beyond a year. Interestingly, drug companies are trying to persuade the medical world to start treating patients earlier and earlier. They are using the term “pre-diabetes” to sell their drugs (including Wegovy, a weight-loss drug). Surgeons are using it to sell weight loss surgery. Everyone’s a winner, right? Not patients. Especially fat patients.
Check out these articles:
Prediabetes: The epidemic that never was, and shouldn’t be
The war on ‘prediabetes' could be a boon for pharma—but is it good medicine?
Also - I love what Dr. Asher Larmie @fatdoctorUK has to say about T2DM and insulin resistance, so here's one of their threads I pulled from Twitter:
1️⃣ You can't prevent insulin resistance. It's coded in your DNA. It may be impacted by your environment. Studies have shown it has nothing to do with your BMI.
2️⃣ The term "pre-diabetes" is a PR stunt. The correct term is impaired glucose tolerance (or impaired fasting glucose) which is sometimes referred to as intermittent hyperglycemia. It does not predict T2DM. It is best ignored and tested for every 3-5yrs.
3️⃣ there is no evidence that losing weight prevents diabetes. That's because you can't reverse insulin resistance. You can possibly postpone it by 2yrs? Furthermore there is evidence that those who are fat at the time of diagnosis fair much better than those who are thin.
4️⃣ Weight loss does not reverse diabetes in the VAST majority of people. Those that do reverse it are usually thinner with recent onset T2DM and a low A1c. Only a tiny minority can sustain that over 2yrs. Weight loss does not improve A1c levels beyond 2 yrs either.
5️⃣ Weight loss in T2DM does not improve macrovascular or microvascular health outcomes beyond 2 years. In fact, weight loss in diabetics is associated with increased mortality and morbidity (although it is not clear why). Weight cycling is known to impacts A1c levels.
6️⃣ Weight GAIN does NOT increase the risk of cardiovascular OR all causes mortality in diabetics. In fact, one might even go so far as to say that it's better to be fat and diabetic than to be thin and diabetic.
Dr. Larmie cites 18 peer reviewed journal articles (most from the last decade) that are included in their webinar on the subject, linked below.

HAPPY WORLD CROC DAY
It's June 17th, world crocodile day, a day to appreciate these amazing yet endangered animals. They are my personal favourite group of animals period and just endlessly fascinating to me, both those we have today and those that lived in the ancient past. Tho I'm no professional by any means, I strive to learn about them and spread this knowledge. So here's some photos, art and skeletals of fossil crocs (using the term rather liberally I know). Feel free to drop your favourites in the reblogs, doesn't matter if extinct or not.
Happy World Croc Day! 🐊
World Croc Day is celebrated annually on June 17. It is a global awareness day dedicated to highlighting the importance of crocodilians, celebrating their evolutionary history, and advocating for the conservation of endangered crocodilians.
Crocodilia are an order of mostly large, predatory, semi-aquatic Archosaurian reptiles.
It was first established in 2017 by the Crocodile Research Coalition and passionate conservationists, the day aims to educate the public about the severe threats these keystone predators face, including habitat loss, climate change, and illegal poaching.
Why Crocodilians Matter:
•Wetland Guardians: As apex predators, they maintain the delicate balance of aquatic ecosystems by controlling prey populations and shaping habitats.
•Survival Legends: Crocodilians have roamed the Earth for over 200 million years, surviving the mass extinctions that wiped out the dinosaurs.
How You Can Get Involved:
•Learn and Share: Discover educational content and campaigns from the Crocodile Research Coalition or explore conservation initiatives from organizations like World Animal Protection.
•Visit Wildlife Centers: Many zoos and aquariums host special feeding and educational events to celebrate the holiday locally.
Have a Great Day 😄
I wish I could make white people(and not just white Americans) understand how diverse the pre-columbian Americas were. The history, religion, culture, politics was at least as complex as Europe's. There was the full gamut of religions, from monotheists to animists to ancestral religions. There were city building empires, village farmers, nomadic traders, and so many other ways to live. This is all just based on what we know, the fragments left behind and the stories of survivors of an apocalyptic plague. All this before the most extended campaign of genocide in history was waged in an attempt to wipe out those survivors.
Over 500 years spent trying to cut down a whole trunk of human culture.
Do you understand how much poorer our whole species is because of it? Can you imagine where art, religion, and science would be if we still had these vast bodies of knowledge? The stain of the colonial project will never be fully washed clean. We owe more than just the land to those we stole from. We owe them a whole future, a future that could have been brighter for all of us. If only greed and fear weren't allowed to rule this land.
also re: my last post no, i don't think one fascist dying solves the whole problem of fascism existing, i'm not trying to imply that i do, but i say again: what is the alternative then. i'm not an expert, all i know is we have to stomp out and fight fascism at every turn and everywhere we see it, otherwise it'll come back. tolerance is a social contract
honest to god fed up with the "i hate fascists but political violence is wrong" it feels so tone deaf and puts the responsibility on The Left for being unreasonable, whether or not someone on the left even had anything to do with it
and in a situation where that's the case, what is the alternative? i'm asian. the whole fucking "chinese virus" thing perpetuated hate and violence against asians and that was genuinely terrifying. i didn't want to go out because i feared people seeing my eyes and making assumptions. my family members were being told to go back to china. so am i supposed to just be polite and say "hey please stop that" to people who want me dead? human rights are not gained or protected simply by asking nicely
and also the way the condolences are always directed at the fascist's family only and not the countless people (especially bipoc) systemically harmed and killed by the rhetoric they spread. please think for one fucking second
Do not let gamers near nonbinary characters
yeah
yeah
praying for everyone Black in Belfast rn. hella Black ppl lost they homes as a result of this antiblack terrorism.
like ok allegedly the white people in Northern Ireland terrorizing mainly Black people and poc are British loyalists and not “real Irish” but that video stating that is showing more concern for the white Irish people currently hiding in their homes “in fear” of harm, while real life Black people are actively being harmed lmao like??? get up! if you say you’re not like these white supremacists than show up in defense for the Black people currently being mobbed by people who look like you!
paying liberal lip service does nothing but make sure history doesn’t remember you as the “actual bad guys”, just the cowardly bystanders & it damn sure doesn’t make any moves to protect anyone Black!
It's also like... Unless everyone over there is wearing shirts that say "Safe Catholic Irish" and "Bad UK Irish", there's no way a Black person is gonna know who is safe and who's not. So this idea that "it's not the real Irish" well then yeah the Real Irish need to stand up and get outside then because otherwise... You look just like the guy who burned my house down and I don't have time to give you a ten minute interview on your politics 🤷🏾♀️
Hey if you See This can you reblog this or comment on this with a character you headcanon as aromantic, asexual, or both. It can be canon it can be founded on absolutely nothing I just need more aroace stuff on here #yay
Me: "Damn people are REALLY BAD at knowing when to tag their eyestrain art/images...either that or they just don't care about photosenitive epileptic people like me. I feel really sad now." Person: "But Allison, what if they just don't know or understand what qualifies as eyestrain and what doesn't?" Me: "You know what? That could be a factor...While it is always better to be safe rather than sorry (so YES people should always tag eyestrain even if they're unsure if it "counts" or not) maybe you've got a point?"
Anyways! HERE'S YOUR HANDY GUIDE TO WHAT CAN COUNT AS EYESTRAIN! I'm pulling this straight from the Artfight rules page about what needs to be labeled and filtered as eyestrain because it's VERY helpful and VERY accurate! I also know not everybody has an AF account and might not always have access to this handy guide, and this is an important resource; That's why I'm sharing it here! (under the cut)
PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!! THIS IS ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHERS!!!
by the way this is medical. this could save somebody from a migraine all the way to a seizure. this has always been serious. treat this seriously.
