#Greece needs a national #diabetes strategy, say new LSE study: Gaps in the Greek data registry and problems in patient access to #healthcare and disease management persist, reports the study on #diabetes care in #Greece. https://www.euractiv.com/section/health-consumers/news/greece-needs-a-national-diabetes-strategy-say-new-lse-study/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=dlvr.it
The Dr.
Well, my #bloodtests were pretty good - everything she wanted down, like #cholesterol - were down, BUT my risk signs of #diabetes actually increased a little.
So I’m on new meds - that in some cases cause #diarrhoea! Oh joy.
Also, on my sudden super sensitivity to heat, the cramps in my #calves & the #dizzyspells - she thinks are down to side effects from my #heart meds.
So I’m on new heart meds as well. These too, she said, might cause diarrhoea!
More blood tests in 6 months.
I've been commissioned again by the IDHC (Indigenous Diabetes Health Circle) to create some unique trees for an upcoming project...so grateful for the work in these challenging times!

Apparently I should be watching for an update to my Tandem Mobi.

Yale School of Medicine: New Study Finds Online Advertising for Compounded Diabetes and Weight-Loss Drugs May Mislead Consumers. “Online advertising for compounded versions of a popular class of type 2 diabetes and weight-loss medications commonly includes practices that only partially inform or even misinform consumers, a team of Yale School of Medicine (YSM) researchers has found. The work […]

A new Hungarian study found that #mushrooms help with #insulin resistance.
MDPIThe Importance of Edible Medicinal Mushrooms and Their Potential Use as Therapeutic Agents Against Insulin ResistanceIn addition to conventional treatments, there is growing interest in preventive and complementary therapies. Proper nutrition can prevent the manifestation of several chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, and can attenuate the severity of these diseases. Edible mushrooms have been used as nutrition and medicine for thousands of years. The spectrum and quantity of their medicinal compounds made them a widely investigated target both in basic research and clinical trials. The most abundant and medically important components are polysaccharides, terpenoids, phenols, and heterocyclic amines, but bioactive proteins, vitamins, including vitamin D, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and essential minerals are also important ingredients with noteworthy health benefits. Mushroom extracts have anti-diabetic, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cardioprotective, anti-osteoporotic, and anti-tumor effects and are well tolerated, even by cancer patients. In our previous review we detailed the molecular aspects of the development of type 2 diabetes, discussing the role of physical activity and diet, but we did not detail the role of medicinal mushrooms as part of nutrition. In this review, we aimed to summarize the most important medical mushrooms, along with their natural habitats, growing conditions, and components, that are presumably sufficient for the prevention and treatment of insulin resistance.
#ScienceUnderSiege: The Orlando Research Conference Fallout
Something alarming is happening in the #ScientificCommunity, and it’s not getting the attention it deserves. A recent #NIH-backed #neuroscience conference in #Orlando turned into a disaster. Research sessions were canceled after being mistaken for “#DEI” initiatives, and funding was pulled.
One session on the diversity of afferent firing in the cochlea (how nerve cells transmit sound) was targeted because people saw the word “#diversity” and assumed it was political. #MAGA hat-wearing attendees reportedly vandalized posters.
The nescient reaction of the MAGA hat-wearing attendees to the word “diversity”—mistaking a scientific discussion on neural firing patterns in the cochlea for a political agenda—exemplifies a dangerous blend of #ignorance and ideological rigidity. Their inability to differentiate between linguistic context and #partisan buzzwords not only disrupted legitimate research but also underscored the broader issue of anti-intellectualism undermining scientific progress.
Worse, researchers discovered their already earned funding was revoked, postdoc opportunities disappeared, and the conference felt like a #funeral for the field as careers crumbled in real time.
Meanwhile, the NIH was banned from attending due to a new administration-imposed blackout on communications and travel, delaying critical #research on #Cancer, #HeartDisease, and #Diabetes.
#Science depends on open inquiry—but now, #political interference is gutting #research. This isn’t just about one conference. It’s a direct attack on scientific progress. If we don’t stand up now, what’s next?
Science must remain free from political control.

The third article of my dissertation was just published: We tried really hard, and failed, to find a connection between age at type 1 #diabetes onset and intracranial volume. This suggests that the age at disease onset is not an important determinant of brain growth, which is really good news! https://bmcendocrdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12902-025-01868-6
BioMed CentralAge at type 1 diabetes onset does not influence attained brain volume - BMC Endocrine DisordersIntroduction Type 1 diabetes is suspected to hamper brain growth, implying that people with earlier diabetes onset would, on average, achieve lower maximal brain volume. We set out to test this hypothesis. Methods Examining brain MRI scans of middle-aged people with type 1 diabetes, we related age at diabetes onset to intracranial volume in 180 participants, as well as to cerebral gray and white matter volumes in a subset of 113 (63%) participants, using fractional polynomial regression models. Of the participants, 118 (67%) had been diagnosed with diabetes before 18 years of age. Results Of our participants, 54% were women, the median age 40.0 (IQR 33.2–45.0) years and the range of age at diabetes onset was 1.2–39.0 years. We found no association between age at diabetes onset and intracranial volume (p = 0.85), cerebral white (p = 0.10), or gray matter volumes (p = 0.12). Further, correlations between age at diabetes onset and the measured brain volumes were poor in analyses stratified for sex (all correlation coefficients ρ ≤ 0.16). Conclusions We found no association between age at diabetes onset and attained intracranial volume or gray or white matter volumes, indicating that type 1 diabetes may not have a clinically significant influence on brain growth.

Scambots are currently addressing people directly and asking for money for diabetes related products.
The original 2 accounts were either moderated or deleted by the owner, the one on the right is currently active again so I wouldn't be surprised, if the one of the left was also already recycled.
Stay safe and always check for obvious signs of fraud, like the date an account was created.
I’m playing with AllenAI OLMo2 LLM.
It kept insisting my use of insulin and my TDD indicated high insulin resistance.
When I noted my c-peptide result is around 1.1ng/dL, it adjusted its view and indicated my TDD would present a challenge in keeping up with goals as a T2D.
My Time In Range is well over 90% while using an insulin pump with a TDD between 30 and 40 units per day.
When I talk about how T2D can be complicated, this is what I mean. Things aren’t always as simple as “lose weight, cure diabetes”.
And this is why we put our trust in humans who are able to reason with modern data to provide our healthcare.
I will say, among the small LLMs that you can run on your own at home, OLMo2 is among the most impressive in terms of emulating knowledge. It’s wild that it doesn’t get more attention. I have to keep reminding myself that it’s very much confidently lying to me.
Been having a challenging diabetes day.
But then I remembered my insulin pump has been on my “low” profile for a few days. Turned that up and things are coming back to normal.
