every male on both sides of my family has type 2 diabetes. the only one trying to do anything about it is my dad, so he is borderline. he bikes a good 10-15 miles a day and lifts weights.
anyways yeah,
my uncle has lost an entire foot so far due to gangrene from diabetes. He is confined to a wheelchair and refuses to change his eating habits. The guy is like 50 and he is practically on a suicide mission.
not to mention the rage fits and craziness. Dude ate a steak with his bare hands the other week at a restaurant and then refused to pay the bill.

I have zero sympathy for anyone with Type-II that is non-complaint, Zero.
really that applies to any non-compliant diabetic, but Type-II in particular.

Type 2 Diabetes is when the pancreas decides to be a lazy prick and not pump out enough insulin, or the body just decides to ignore it.
Type 1 is when the pancreas stops making it altogether, and you're forced to rely on artificial insulin to keep your glucose in check, either with manual syringes or an insulin pump that you keep attached to yourself.

dude, i totally agree. Though is it kinda sad and a little weird to pretty much watch your uncle literally waste away from gangrene while still getting fatter.

Dad's family all has diabetes including him
I have to look out for it
On the plus side, I eat better than them, regularly exercise and don't drink alcohol nearly as much as they did
On the minus I have a terrible, terrible addiction to candy
This one girl shows up in our ER on at least a monthly basis in DKA. Last time she had a pH of 6.8(really fucking bad) and she had a cardiac arrest from it and ended up on life support. So we fix her acidosis and get her glucose under control, get her off life support and send her to the floor. The next day she signs out AMA from the floor and doesn't even bother filling her Insulin scripts.
Type 1 Diabetes really sucks, but this girl is basically committing suicide and its really sad.
Obese type 2 diabetics who don't care for themselves and bitch about losing limbs are just dicks.

People like that are a fucking drain. Prescribe her a single 9mm to the base of the skull and give the insulin to somehow who actually cares about their life or otherwise has trouble paying for it.

I look at it this way, I've been given the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card.
Regardless what I do, my diabetes is so brittle, that if necessary, with little to no real effort, I'm dead inside a month. Probably 3 weeks. So, if I ever get to a point where I simply do not give a shit anymore, and I want to be a coward, there we go. Life insurance still pays out.

It's not a big deal if you've got a little fat on you.
What's important is that you keep active, and don't overdo it on sugars.
Unless you're a fatty, in which case you get your shit in gear, or I'll send you photos of my stomach puncture marks.
I can send you pictures of the wounds on my feet that haven't healed in 3 years.

sounds like type-II that's advanced onto insulin therapy.
It can be that way, but it depends on the severity. A lot of type II's manage just fine with pills, and don't have to take shots.
Lucky pricks. (no pun intended)

Ohh, that's the glucose tests.

I wouldn't worry too much, by then they'll cure your type.
I thought the cure for type 2 was to stop being an irresponsible lazy fatass

Yup.
Also people should really try to avoid Type 2 diabetes.

Oddly enough if you take enough of the placebos you get the same effect
