>>44714Diabetes and metabolic research is stupid and I would have gone my whole life not knowing if my partner hadn't gotten diabetes while thin as a rail and avoiding sugar despite knowing my preferences...
She had a family history of it and went to the doc after feeling sick for 2 weeks. She had caught both strains of the flu (A and B) because she didnt want to get the flue shot, and she was in keto-acidosis. We didn't know that you could go into keto-acidosis with no prior diabetes if ypu get sick. No idea how common that is cause of the stigma of diabetes being a fat person disease. Later when all atempts to control it failed, she said "fuck it, I might as well get fat" since she knew my preferences and she didn't have any weight left to lose.
This is probably not gonna be read on a porn board but heres the facts I found through studies, I'm too lazy to link studies again so heres the short version of what I found from med studies, not all is fat positive, but its not necessarily a death sentence because its not beneficial to be skinny either:
Unfortunetly, the weightloss only reverses T2D in a minority of people who are prediabetic, but they don't tell you that cause then no one would try.
Another fact is that skinny diabetics drop dead for no reason more often than fat diabetics, its a weird phenomenom that no one seems to want to study but gets mentioned occasionally as a correllation of death that gets ignored or theirs stats get lumped in with proof that diabetes kills fat people depending on the study. So if you're underweight they tell you to avoid gaining weight despite this risk and sometimes encourage more weightloss, my partner's doctor did this. I assume its heart related, much like high blood sugar hurts the heart, low body weight does too, so either all anorexics are secretly diabetic or its 2 different cardiac risk factors that no one has studied. Moving on.
There was one study that involved a surgery where they removed about 2 grams of fat from the pancrease of a small sample size of people and it completely reversed ever patients T2D except I think 1, but there was no followup for how long it worked for and there weren't enough people to get good data. And no one has tried to get this surgery greenlit to reverse diabetes that Im aware of. I assume the "just lose weight" which research shows doesnt work... arg
What does work is going keto for weeks but this can be dangerous depending on how bad your sugar control is and has to be weened down. Causes weightloss in the short term, but keto causes weight gain in the longrun.
Unrelated, but did you guys know that SOME of the probiotic strains people take for health are used to fatten up livetock? My partner is taking some of the good ones that need to be refridgerated now, either it'll help her blood sugar or make her fatter, either way shes all for it.
