hot opinions straight off the stove! 🥘🔥

I do not "count my carbs." I do not think CARB CONSCIOUS. I don't even monitor my TYPE of carb intake. I GUESS my carbs, and if I go hyperglycemic, I RAGE BOLUS AND I KILL MYSELF.

JJK men reacting to their S/O low blood sugar

this is so self indulgent as i’m a type one diabetic and i just wanna mix that in with a few of my interests, also the whole “alarm” mention is the alarm the dexcom has when you go low, just for context, this is also something i made after being awake far too late so if it’s bad im so sorry but i hope you enjoy it!

Satoru Gojo:

this man is KNOWN for having a sweet tooth so the moment your phones dexcom alarm goes off some sort of sweet is already being shoved in your face, will sit with you for the entire 15-20 mins it takes for your sugar to go back up, sometimes he’ll try to crack jokes to take your mind off the passing out feeling, even if you don’t fully understand him you still appreciate the gesture.

but on the rare chance he’s not home and he gets the notification on his phone best believe you’ll be hearing that ding “eat something. rn.” will be checking on you every 2 mins

Kento Nanami:

will drop everything the moment he hears that alarm on with phone go off, he’ll approach and analyze for a moment to see how severe the symptoms are before he goes to get you either a small snack or a juice box

will sit with you no matter what. on the floor? he’s right there next to you. on the curb? he’s popping a squat. in the store? he’ll sit in an aisle with you. it’s 3 am and he has to be up early? don’t care, he’s holding you against his side and monitoring you for 15-20 mins until your blood sugar goes back up.

Ryomen Sukuna:

he hears the alarm go off and he grumbles everytime he hears it, acting as if he’s annoyed by it but still, a snack or juice is still infront of you in seconds.

he won’t say much but he’ll watch you from the corner of his eye to make sure you don’t pass out on him, a (not so) subtle way of showing his care for you

once the 15-20 minutes are up he’ll still watch you for a few moments longer to make sure you’re truly alright before grumbling something inaudible (truly he’s not annoyed, just worried)

Hiromi Higuruma:

alarm blares through the room, making him almost scribble over the document he was just writing in but nonetheless he gets up and walks to get you what you need, once returned he hands them to you and watches you carefully to make sure you get everything down alright

he sits next to you the entire time and when you try to tell him you’re alright and that you don’t want to interrupt his work he just waves his hand in dismissal and says “work can wait, i’d rather make sure you don’t pass out on me”

even after he returns to work after your fine he’s still periodically checking up on you, just silently eyeing you to make sure you’re alright, you eventually have to firmly, yet kindly, tell him that you’re not dying anymore and he’s free to focus on his work

Takuma Ino:

alarm goes off and somehow ino is louder than it. he’s already rushing to get you more than what you need, like much more than what you need.

he plops all of it in front of you and practically force feeds you a juice box which you shakily accept.

he sits infront of you the entire time, just watching you, making sure you’re alright, he’ll have your hands in his, his thumbs brushing over your knuckles as he waits ever so patiently for your blood sugar to go back up.

Popping bottles in the club tonight!! and by bottles I mean insulin injections and by the club I mean my bedroom

[eris-abomination]

Weird rant but I’m EXHAUSTED by the fact that medical supplies are either mind-numbingly clinical or literally made for children.

I’m sick of having to buy adhesive patches for my CGM that are covered in crayon scribble and unicorn patterns because all the rest are depressingly plain and I just want something colorful and FUN.

I’m sick of disabled young adults being completely overlooked by society because the stereotypes only include “decrepit elderly person” and “poor innocent child who doesn’t deserve the horrors of a disability”.

I’m sick of the idea that disabled people are incapable/undeserving of being happy and enjoying life and should just settle for a Dull Gray Existence, and if they ARE happy, then they’re an ✨amazing special inspiration✨ who’s going to constantly be put on a pedestal and infantilized to hell and back.

Why is every post about diabetes derailed???

I'm having trouble with my CGM stickers all being for kids or super medical- 'Oh well it's like that for elderly people!! There's no colorful happy supplies <3'

My dad withheld insulin and I was going into DKA- 'Well my panic attacks and autism are the same, people try to tell me to use essential oils or talk during panic attacks!!! I know what this feels like 100% because I'm autistic even if I'm able-bodied!!'

I HAVE MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES AS SOMEONE WITH AUTISM AND AN ANXIETY DISORDER. I STRUGGLE WITH EVERYTHING BEING TOO CLINICAL. BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS POST IS ABOUT. IT IS ABOUT DIABETES. SHUT UP ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH IN CRIPPLEPUNK IF IT IS NOT APPLICABLE. SHUT UP ABOUT UNRELATED DISABILITY TOPICS. LET CRIPPUNK GROUPS BE ABOUT THAT GROUP. DON'T DERAIL EVERY FUCKING POST. FOR FUCK'S SAKE. WE ARE ALREADY MARGINALIZED IRL IN FAVOR OF TYPE 2, LET TYPE ONE DIABETICS EXIST ONLINE. FOR FUCK'S SAKE. I'M SO FUCKING SICK OF Y'ALL SOMETIMES.
