#I’m actually considering blazing the post so more diabetics can see it…..
Text
You know what we need @fiery-red-kryptonite? We need a diabetic convention.
A few days long where diabetics of all ages could all get together and just talk, share things. both type 1 and type 2 diabetics. I know where I live there were diabetes camps but like…those were for kids and that’s great but so many people who are older need the support.
Because honestly no one understands a diabetic like another diabetic, doctors don’t get me the way you do. Other friends may try to help (and they do an amazing job when I need them to help) but I can just message you and go “holy shit the low I had today” and you understand and share what helps you. I can say “my lord the dream I had today” and you respond with “how was your blood sugar?”.
Plus I know way too many type 2 diabetics who are sorely uneducated on type 1 diabetes and I feel like they would learn better in an open, friendly environment rather than a doctors office where the doctor might not even fully know.
New diabetics who are scared and worried being able to talk face to face with elder diabetics who’ve been dealing with this Illness for most of their lives and hearing from some who knows first hand how they handle it. Being able to go back to their doctors with informed ideas on how to better manage their diabetes.
Panels set up by diabetics for diabetics (and their families because let’s be honest families need more education than they get too)
Little sales booths where diabetics can sell little trinkets to decorate pump or pen pouches. Little bears to help little kids with diabetes brave the injections (I had one his name was poke, he was my second favourite bear)
Just something for diabetics to get together in person and be able to share. Make connections with each other and finally feel a little bit less alone.
I don’t know this idea struck me while I was changing my sensor and I felt like a post that other diabetics may see and share etc would be nice……at least we can have a diabetic Tumblr group or something 😂
Edit: the post has been reblogged and liked a few times so I went ahead and made a discord so diabetics can connect in some way at the very least. The invite shouldn’t expire but if it does please let me know and I’ll put a new one or invite you personally.

Can someone check the GFCI?
When a circuit breaker snaps, it’s because the circuit was beginning to heat beyond design capacity and it’s shutting down to prevent something worse from happening, like fire or damage to a sensitive circuit or device.
It’s a safety device, and we all know how much I love safety devices, but at the end of the day if you don’t take action when a safety device activates, generally the damage can be much worse than what the device was actually protecting.
Folks, our owners have decided that it’s going to be much easier to control the world if they only have to do it from one government, and if you still think this is a conspiracy theory, you need to turn off CNN and step outside your basement. Even the dimwit in Ottawa can no longer keep the secret of where those in lofty chambers have decided we are going, although I sincerely doubt he understands the repercussions, just like 98% of the population. It’s not their fault, they are wired in such a way they can’t see the truth, either by design or programming.
Doesn’t matter which it is (blue dress/brown dress), the damage to our population has started and we don’t have the collective will to stop it, because we’ve been conditioned to be victims. Correction. Most have been conditioned over the past two decades to be victims, to be at the mercy of big government and those who know better than you do.
I’ve a friend who explains it perfectly. He says that most people cannot see past the end of any given month. It’s not a derogatory thing, it’s just who they are. These are the people who live paycheck to paycheck, who don’t plan for the future because they are just trying to stay alive. They work hard to keep up, but are consumed by just trying to cope with what life throws at them. These are the majority of people on this planet. Not a bad thing, but these are the type of people easily controlled by fear.
The next group are the people who can see 6 to 12 months, and they understand cause and effect better than the first group. They understand that payday loans are bad and that you should control your destiny through planning. These are the type of people who run our governments and provide services. They see the benefits to organized approaches to problems and find safety in numbers of like minded people.
The last group, the smallest one are those who can see 3 to 5 years down the road. These are the visionaries, people like Edison and Orwell, Tesla and Rand. These are the Elon Musks and Bill Gates of the world. They drive humanity through aspiration and ambition.
Unfortunately they aren’t always right, for example I would consider Karl Marx to one of the latter.
So why am I talking about Karl Marx and circuit breakers you ask?
Well it’s because my tin foil hat is on too tight, or because I’m not quite right in the head I guess, or any other of the labels those who can’t see past the end of the month would paste to someone like me who likes to think a bit more long term than the end of the next season of the Kardasians.
Shutting down the world for a bad flu wasn’t a decision based in science. It’s not even a decision based in safety, and believe me I know a thing or two about that. The whole “nobody moves, nobody gets hurt” thing really doesn’t work for long. Sure, nobody gets hurt, but no body eats either. This is what your average person isn’t thinking about when they scream “stay the blazes home”.
Yes, you can stay the blazes home. Yes,  you can cower under your bed until the bad thing passes, but at the end of the day the Magic Pantry was just a kids TV show.
Dude’s gotta eat, right?
I’m currently living inside the “Atlantic Bubble”, or whatever is left of it after those anointed in oil decided to take their toys and go home, but in reality we’ve created an interesting paradigm here on the east coast of Canada that’s unlike anywhere else in the world.
We’ve created the perfect culture of fear.
Now for those living outside the bubble, we’ve shut the door, turned off the lights and posted a big “FUCK OFF” sign on the front lawn. We’ve turned our back to the virus like it’s a Trump supporter. This is our plan. We’ve posted guards, created intricate rules around who can go where and why, and basically made it impossible to move anywhere without government permission. All over a bad flu with a survivalbility rate of over 99.4%, with 70%+ of the mortality coming from those 70 years of age and older. You are more likely to die from an automobile accident today than COVID.
Don’t get me wrong, COVID is no cake walk, it’s a nasty disease, but it’s not Ebola. I’ve been battling this virus now for 11 months, I’ve seen how it works, it’s veracity is substantial, and if you have co-morbidities such as diabetes or heart disease, it can take a toll on you, and yes, more people are dying from it than the seasonal flu, but at the end of the day it’s not going to wipe out the human race. The majority of the people who test positive don’t even know they have it.
And don’t get me started on testing.
I can’t talk publicly about it but if you see me out and about, ask me why I think testing is a control and not a diagnostic element. Sorry, the hat’s tightening.
Let me throw one example out for you to chew on, let’s say vaccines. Now the vaccines are the panacea for the masses right? I mean we should be amazed we were able to concoct a vaccine that is 95% effective in eradicating this virus inside 8 to 10 months, hell, we should be ecstatic, right? I mean it took 30+ years to get a handle on AIDS and we beat COVID in just 240 days. We currently linbe up to get an annual flu shot to protect us from the last major Coronavirus (Remember the Spanish Flu?) that has been in development for the last 60 years and it’s still only 35-40% effective, and less than 50% of Canadians get it
We must be freaking geniuses now.
I’ll never understand the sheer amount of dumb optimism that’s out there, but I certainly appreciate it. Without that optimism we’d be more like Lemmings than we currently are.
But back to the “great reset”, shall we?
So dude’s gotta eat, right? I’m going to quote one of my modern day heros, Elon Musk when he says “If people wants stuff, they have to make it” or something along those lines. In other words, there’s no money tree. My parents very early on taught me that lesson, and that if I wanted anything in life I had to earn it or make it, that there was no such thing as a free meal. The problem is most people today have been conditioned to think there is. Trudeau has been giving away our money like a drunken sailor on shore leave to the tune of $400 BILLION dollars in 8 months. Let me put it another way, in the last 240 days Trudeau has spent $10,814.00 per Canadian citizen, or around $25K per taxpayer. That’s debt folks, that’s directly on the shoulders of every Canadian. But it’s ok they say because interest rates are so low we can afford the additional leverage.
Problem is folks is interest rates don’t stay low after a major crisis. Why? It’s called inflation. As money supply loosens, so does the value of a dollar, and when the value of a dollar decreases because there’s more supply of dollars then prices increase. When prices start increasing wages need to go up to keep pace with inflation, and when that happens there are two options. Control monetary supply, otr deal with runaway inflation.
How do you control inflation you ask? Great question. You raise interest rates to throttle spending.
How can anyone forget the late 1970’s? It was less than 50 years ago folks. Remember Trudeau’s 6 & 5? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? JUSTIN? For fuck sakes the kid was living at 22 Sussex drive when his father created the greatest economic challenge of our lifetime.
Wait, check that. Apparently the second wave will be worse than the first.
This great reset is gong to be tragic. Already they are estimating over 100 Million people in 3rd world countries will die next year due to disease and starvation because of the lock downs. In our own western countries the most disadvantages are already our most vunerable populations. Humans aren’t meant to be caged, nor can we afford to be. We need to be free, have purpose, and contribute to a vibrant society.
You can’t govern that. You can’t rule over a captive society for long. History has shown us that time and time again that King’s aren’t benevolent rulers and those who suffer the most are at the bottom the societal ladder.
If you aren’t seeing the end goal yet, I get it, but I do. You only need look as far as the ice cream eating elite who enjoy fine dining when your cupboard is near empty and jet off to Mexico while telling you can’t bury your spouse or child. They make you endure cruel mental anguish while they spend your tax dollars on jet setting and pontificating about a communist world that they rule.
All in the name of a better world, one free of climate change and racism.
Who knows, maybe they are right, maybe they are part of the component of society that sees the future more clearly than the rest of us.
I guess that’s why they get ice cream and can go spend Thanksgiving with their moms while you can’t bury yours.
I guess that’s just our lot in life, to be ruled, to understand it’s for thee, but not for me.
This what we want? This what we deserve? Am I wrong?
I don’t think I am, I just want to be. Can someone go downstairs and check the fuse?

The Top 8 Reasons Which Cause Fatigue
Tumblr media
Originally posted on https://drricardolalama.com/the-top-8-reasons-which-cause-fatigue/
One of the top health issues nowadays for both men and women is Chronic Fatigue, a condition which leads to extremely low vitality levels. From minor tiredness to the more genuine incessant exhaustion disorder named Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), fatigue is hitting a record for individuals. It has been proven that over 1 million Americans suffer from this CFS condition.
(Photo Credit: http://www.thehealthsite.com)
Weakness likewise could be exceptionally perilous, with around 20% of deadly car accidents taking place because of it. Numerous individuals will dismiss their low vitality levels as simply part of getting more stressed, which makes it hard to recognize what is normal and what is “typical”.
While weakness is regular, it’s surely not organically ordinary. This false suspicion makes numerous individuals settle for feeling lousy and tired the vast majority of their lives. Weariness can influence each part of your life: your family, companions, employment and physical exercises will be affected. Here you will learn the 8 top causes for fatigue as well as advice on the most proficient method to overcome it:
1.Food Imbalances
The food we eat should be composed of fats, proteins and carbs. Your body runs on these three macronutrients, and we require fitting degrees of every one to suit your eating regimen and lifestyle.
A standout amongst the most well-known macronutrient inadequacies in the West is low fat utilization. Since the recent some piece of the twentieth century, fat has been removed of the standard American eating regimen and that caloric setback has been supplanted with refined carbs, particularly grains. When you’re in sugar-blazing mode, you get the certain sugar accident, abandoning you with temperament swings, touchiness, weight reduction safety, and weariness.
When I allude to fat, I’m not discussing margarine or some other sort of awful fat. Coconut oil, avocados, eggs, and, in the event that you consume meat, grass-sustained hamburger and wild-got salmon, are all extraordinary types of entire nourishment fat for your vitality! From a biochemical point of view, your body’s best and slowest-blazing manifestation of vitality is fat. Besides, your cerebrum is made of 60% fat and 25% cholesterol, so sustaining that valuable organ is the foundation to overcoming exhaustion. Albeit more uncommon, lacking measures of protein and starches will likewise help low vitality levels.
2. Food Deficiencies
Our bodies are alive and working in light of organic chemistry. When we don’t sustain them with the particular nutritious necessities that make health conceivable, it can begin with you feeling tired and lazy. Some supplement lacks in people that are exhausted are iron, vitamin D and vitamin B insufficiencies. Every one of these supplements could be checked by a basic blood lab and ought to be considered when you are battling with low vitality.
3. Inflammatory Foods
The sustenances we consume are progressively training our natural chemistry and our vitality levels. Our dinners are either helping or harming your vitality levels; there’s no impartial nourishment with regards to your body’s capacity. It’s a dependable fact that refined nourishments, abundance carbs and vacant calories will contrarily influence your wellbeing, and that will normally start by destroying your vitality levels. The scandalous “sugar trance state” must be ceased on the off chance that you quit consuming what is powering your low vitality!
Underlying prejudice to nourishments like gluten, without gluten grains and dairy can additionally cause weakness. In case you’re experiencing weariness, begin by disposing of the provocative nourishments in your eating regimen and attempt kick beginning it off with my genuine sustenance challenge here.
4. Poor Gut Health
Known as the “second mind,” your gastrointestinal framework is fundamental and regularly a disregarded variable in your vitality levels. You don’t essentially need to have observable gut indications to have an underlying unending gut issue. Your gut-cerebrum pivot is a complex web of correspondence between these two fundamentally critical frameworks regarding the matter of your vitality levels.
On the off chance that your body is stalled with conditions like permeability of the gut lining (leaky gut syndrome), small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) or simply summed up irregular characteristics in your gut microscopic organisms (dysbiosis), it can empty your vitality fundamentally. At the point when these conditions are determined, vitality levels and imperativeness are restored again to ordinary. Interestingly enough, chronic gut dysfunctions are additionally interfaced to weariness’ tenacious accomplice, weight reduction resistance.
5. Hormonal Dysfunctions
Our body’s diverse frameworks convey through a shrewd web of hormonal pathways. An appropriately working endocrine (hormonal) framework is fundamental for your vitality levels. Two moderately normal hormonal pathway dysfunctions in individuals who are battling with low vitality levels are hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal dysfunction (adrenal fatigue) and low thyroid capacity. There are numerous diverse purposes behind low thyroid capacity.
6. Toxins
The expression “poison” has gotten to be so worn out and universal in the wellbeing group that the normal individual perusing this article will most likely feign exacerbation right about now. The truth, however, is that our reality today IS a lot more immersed with substances that are lethal to our wellbeing. We are not hereditarily adjusted to this assault of lethality, and our vitality levels are normally the first “check motor light” that something is not right. With a far reaching wellbeing history and the utilization of legitimate analytic testing that can preclude regular toxicities like substantial metals or plastics; on the off chance that you would prefer not to hold up for tests, there are approaches to decrease poisons throughout your life now.
7. Medicines
Each pharmaceutical medication has symptoms and a standout amongst the most widely recognized side effects is exhaustion. Basic drugs given for pulse, cholesterol, torment, diabetes, heartburn and misery can all cause chronic fatigue. It astounds me how little individuals think about the symptoms of the medications they take consistently. In case you’re on any drugs, I would prescribe figuring out if weariness is one of the symptoms.
In the event that your prescription is bringing on or adding to your weariness, talk about it with your specialist and find out what different choices you have. Your ultimate goal should be to regain your health and maintain it.
8. Lack of Quality Sleep
Granted, this sounds like a clear one! Yes, its actual, in case you’re simply staying up past the point of no return during the evening on the grounds that you’re viewing your most loved reality show and drinking huge amounts of juiced drinks, stop it. Go to cot prior. Be that as it may numerous individuals don’t know they aren’t resting soundly, and regardless of the possibility that they do, they can’t nod off or stay unconscious regardless of the fact that they attempted.
Sleeping disorders like sleep apnea and insomnia influences a huge number of individuals as far and wide as possible with almost no alternatives in the standard model of care. Managing the underlying issues that are creating the sleeping disorder is vital to restore your vitality levels. For gentle sleep deprivation, herbs like valerian and chamomile might be compelling. For sleep apnea, CPAP machines work for some individuals, and permit them to get the rest they have to recapture their vitality.
There are numerous pathways and conceivable outcomes for fatigue or any chronic wellbeing concerns. These distinctive dysfunctions need to be clinically “unraveled” and managed on an individual premise. Considering the single person rather than a summed up “one-size-fits-all” methodology should be considered as the main way to see a predictable, dependable and practical determination of wellbeing issues like chronic fatigue.
