Explaining the difference between type 1 & type 2 diabetes is so exhausting lmao. Type 1 is an autoimmune disease! My pancreas doesn’t work so I don’t produce insulin lmao. No diet can fix that 😭
my mama died when I was 13, two weeks after my birthday... it took me 20 years to realize I’ve been grieving and in survival mode since , but this year I chose to live.
Cheers to 33 🍾💞

@TfL are these the kind of people you employ ?? Talking so disgustingly to an elderly women because she wanted directions ? He should be sacked and never allowed to work with ppl again if he can’t even have compassion for the vulnerable.

The "Headache" that kills in 24 hours.🧵
As a doctor, this is the one diagnosis that genuinely scares me. Bacterial Meningitis doesn't give you days to "wait and see." It gives you hours. By the time you realize it's not just a flu, it’s often too late.
👉Stop scrolling and memorize these 3 clinical red flags:
1. The Fused Neck: This isn't a "stiff muscle" from sleeping wrong. If you have a fever and literally cannot touch your chin to your chest - that is Nuchal Rigidity. It’s an emergency. Period.
2. The "Glass Test" Rash: If you see tiny purple pin-pricks on the skin, press a clear glass firmly against them. If the spots don't fade/disappear under the glass, your blood is leaking. That’s Septicemia. Run to the ER.
3. Agonizing Photophobia: It’s not just "bright lights are annoying." It’s a physical, painful wince at a smartphone screen or a bedside lamp.
👉How to actually stay safe?
1. Mask up in crowds: It’s a respiratory drop infection. If there’s an outbreak in your school/hostel, a mask is your best friend.
2. Stop sharing everything: Vapes, spoons, water bottles, cigarettes. If their saliva is on it, the bacteria is on it.
3. Hygiene: Wash your hands like your life depends on it.
4. Vaccines: Check your records for MenACWY/MenB when you have a minute. It’s the ultimate insurance policy.
What moved me most was her commitment to helping other families.
She shared practical guidance in church and brought in an expert to explain warning signs of dementia and Alzheimer’s. One page in the program included caregiver tips that felt too important not to share.
