well, i realized, while trying to explain my precarious medical situation to my army boy last night that i really couldnt explain it worth shit. in fact, i really only knew a little bit. like, i dont metabolize sugar correctly, and as a result of that i have a bunch of OTHER shit wrong with me. so i went googling for info and found this article which actually explains it all in great detail, and better than my doc ever even tried to. lets just say, i dont care much for doctors in general. they always glaze over things as if you know exactly what they're talking about. but because you dont, you never really know if they're telling you the whole story or not. in my case... he left out some important details... maybe he didnt know them himself, maybe he did, i'm not gonna point any fingers, cuz most of the info thats out about my particular issue is rather new. in fact, the drugs out to treat it arent even actually approved to treat it, so insurance wont cover them, so i'm not on them... um... yeah. anyway. where was i?
oh right... fun facts. insulin resistance is rather fukking dangerous. i've got something like an 80% chance of becoming a type 2 diabetic before 50. oh yes. happy happy joy joy. and lucky lucky me, i have type A... *sigh* fun shit. i wish i knew this a year ago. or four. or more than that even. theres other fun stuff about it... but i'll leave those out cuz well, if y'all really wanna know, you'll have gone and read the article.
still, basic treatment is what i'm already doing... cut calories, cut carbs, cut fat, walk more. bleh. so i'm doin what i'm sposed to be doin. yes, every now and again i fuck up and forget to eat right so my blood sugar goes all wacky, but thats usually solved by eating a real meal for once. i should really go see that endocrinologist soon though... maybe he can find something i can take that my insurance WILL cover.
anywho... i'll rant summore on some other stuff later on. i'm in a writing mood today.
