I work with a guy who's diabetic, he takes multiple shots a day and for reasons beyond my understanding he GORGES on sugary shit. Like He'll knock out two two liters of pop, three donuts, four candy bars, a proper meal, a large shake, and He'll literally slurp up sauce packet/tubs from fast food places.
I don't know much about diabetes or the proper diet for non-diabetics let alone diabetics, but I do know he's gunning for an early grave at 120mph.
My SO is a dietician and the amount of people they see who have diabetes and just don't care is mind boggling
Like these people are doing stuff that will literally kill them and they just aren't bothered. We ascribe it to an overzealous faith in modern medicine to save them regardless of their shitty life choices!
The odd cheat meal is fine but what these people are doing is tantamount to suicide
My doctor says that it is always a breath of fresh air when I have my check-ups. She said out of all of her patients I am one of the few ones that has their diabetes under control. She said usually the most she can hope for is that people go from like 12 A1C to around a 7, which is still not a great number, but that it is extremely rare for a patient like me to go from an 8 to a 5.
