Its literally eating me from the inside out...
« on: August 30, 2011, 06:33:09 PM »
*short rant* ok honestly? i dont konw how to take care of my diabetes(type 1) properly apparently.. ive been one for fucking 5 years and my A1C keeps getting higher (last i took it was a fucking 12(avg blood sugar is 320. norm is 80-120)).. i forget my fucking insulin 9 times out of 10. that or im just to lazy to go take it. Its pure shit because i think about all the complications that Diabetes can cause... loss of legs, vision, kidney cancer, liver cancer etc... but for some reason it doesnt scare me... i have no idea what the hell is wrong with me... Why cant i just take the 10 minutes total a day to test and take proper blood sugar?

fml...

In actuality, that's kind of what I was thinking.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

how old be you?
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

I blame it on your age. I would be in the same mindset if i were in your situation .. ...

Do you have a roommate? Or someone who could call you and hold you accountable? There's nothing childish about needing to be reminded, but there is something childish about not trying to fix the problem.

I never remember to take my high blood pressure medicine.  Even as I type this out, I realize I haven't taken it in about a year.

Something just has to scare you bad enough.  As it is, you just see indirect threats that might someday happen.  Easy to ignore those.  Eventually,  one of those risks will become significantly greater, though,  and you'll hop to it.  When it changes from "maybe future eye problems" to "a desperate battle to keep from going fucking blind," you'll get on the ball pretty damn quick.  

My advice is to recognize that sooner or later you're going to be forced to start taking care of yourself for one reason or another, and you might as well do it now while it's still optional than later when there's a pretty good chance that it's already too late.  
Argument, the presentation of reasonable views, never makes headway against conviction, and conviction takes no part in argument because it knows.

Read the wikipedia article on gangrene. Look at the pictures. Imagine that is your leg.

You know what works for me and so far has worked pretty okay for others I've told this to? Tell a SHIT FUCKING TON OF PEOPLE you are going to NOT LET THIS ATTITUDE consume you and ruin your health. Tell them that way you will have the fear of disappointment hanging over your head.

Not sure how well it works for this scenario, but it is a damn good way to get someone to work on a project or do their school work.
I felt its length in quite a few places.
