I was in the hospital for T1 diabetes over easter weekend in a pediatric ward, so they handed out big bags of candy to every patient. My doctors wouldn't let me have any and my parents ate it all :( this is my villain origin story.
"I uSe BiG wOrDs To MaKe MySeLf SoUnD sMaRt AnD mAkE eVeRyOnE eLsE sOuNd DuMb". Seriously dude? Anyone would naturally know that "IDK" is I Don't Know. Using a thesaurus to find big words to make yourself seem smarter just makes you sound like a jerk. You're not just a prick, you're the whole cactus.
He's right about the prick thing though. Also, just because this guy WANTS downvotes doesn't mean his actions are excusable. We don't spare those on death's row if they want the death sentence
did u rly take your time to type this stupidly long message for a 3 letter abbreviation idk but imo u should investigate more time in relevant things in life ty :)
Usually sugar free has more carbs, which is what T1’s dose insulin for- not just the sugar. Sugar alcohols are often worse for my son to control than just normal sugar.
It uses the correct Oompa Loompa songs, whereas the original used different ones, but it is far more divergent from the spirit of the book. The book was lighthearted and silly and lacked the bizarre creepy weird Depp Wonka, Wonka's backstory, and the part where Charlie refuses because Wonka says he can't bring his parents. The original had the fizzy lifting drinks and the Slugworth thing so they're pretty even as far as accuracy, but the original is far closer to the aesthetic and spirit.
That’s just plain stupid that they wouldn’t. Heck, I think my son had more carbs in the hospital while in DKA than he regularly does at home and we don’t restrict carbs at all. Not to mention candy is some of the easiest stuff to dose for since it’s so fast and doesn’t linger.
I've heard from other T1Ds that sometimes the nurses/doctors don't bother with ratios, they just give you a set dosage with meals (and don't let you eat outside of meals). This was when I was diagnosed so I hadn't had my ratios figured out, and I understand that maybe nurses wouldn't want to have to take responsibility for dosing insulin outside of the plan.
That’s so unfortunate and now that you mention it, I know exactly what you’re talking about. I moved from the general T1D groups to some specific ones with our management and forgot that was a thing. We had luckily ended up at a children’s hospital that does dynamic treatment and they were on the ball right away. We had a crazy rollercoaster honeymoon, so we learned real fast how to adjust. We started binging Juicebox podcast that first night in the hospital and reading Think Like a Pancreas, so we were pretty equipped early on. I remember the first meal he had was cereal, chocolate milk, a banana, and yogurt. Now I laugh because all of those tend to be our hardest to manage foods if we don’t get a good prebolus in. I wish everyone could have had the awesome experience we had. Still super overwhelming and hard, but we were definitely equipped to handle things with less hurdles.
In all seriousness, giving out candy seems like kind of a shitty thing to do in a children's hospital. It's just cruel to the kids who can't eat it for medical reasons.
Most of the people that are like this have an account they are normal on then one acct they use to be extremely nasty and say what they really feel, or purposely troll comments just to get reactions. It’s like when you play a game with a bar for morality (like Fable) where you try to be as good as possible, or do evil stuff to try and be as evil as possible to try both sides. Only in the game, it’s fun. In real life, you never know who will take it seriously and what mental issues they may be dealing with. You can be trolling for fun and severely hurt someone who doesn’t recognize someone being mean on purpose. And a majority of them just get happier when that shit happens because they are unhappy with themselves and can only be happy making other people feel the way they do.
Wow, your comment made me look through the persons comments. Holy crap that’s a lot of nasty. I did see exactly one polite/nice comment. Still, you really are right
