Now that’s a pessimistic outlook. Elon still around in the year 3000.

I was supposed to get bonuses on the 80s?

Sort of.

Weren’t those supposed to be a few months ago? We fucked the timeline somehow

Which relative is on the track and which in the trolley?

I don’t think this is as stupid as it sounds. With some exceptions Democratic voters tend to punish their representatives for corruption, but republican voters never do

Doom scrolling will do that to you

Is your drug in liquid form?

The actual answer is for reimbursement, for example if you’re buying them for a work meeting or something.

If your body is producing “enough” then you don’t have diabetes, type 1 or 2. That’s where you are incorrect.

I did not imply this. The text you quoted was in response to this:

no… Type 1 = not producing, Type 2 = resistance/not absorbing

That is an incorrect statement as this is not what distinguishes the two diagnoses. A type 1 diabetic who is not insulin dependent (yet) will have a very different treatment profile than a type 2 who is producing the same amount of insulin, but obviously both are not producing enough or they would not be diabetic. Hell, if you tell a doctor you’re type 1 they often ask you if you’re insulin dependent.

However, type 2 is (generally) characterized by insulin resistance as you indicated.

That seems to be the pattern of your replies here, factual information with a common layman’s misunderstanding peppered on top. I took the bait, so that’s on me.

So if your immune system is attacking your pancreas but you are still producing some insulin then you actually have type 2?

Type 1 specifically refers to when the body attacks the insulin producing cells. Not necessarily that it’s producing none or not enough, even if that’s the way we’re accustomed to thinking about the distinction.

The difference between 1 and 2 is the reason your body doesn’t produce enough, not how much it produces.

If it’s diabetes, type 2 is where your body doesn’t produce enough insulin. Usually because it’s not absorbing or diminished production capacity.

Type 3 is where sugars don’t pass the blood brain barrier thus starving your brain of nutrients. The symptoms look like alzheimer’s, so it’s usually diagnosed post mortem.
