I survived a widowmaker heart attack at 52. My doctor never tested my fasting insulin.
Neither has yours.
In 1995, 135 million people worldwide had diabetes. Today: 589 million. By 2050: 853 million.
A near quadrupling in 30 years.
This isn’t genetics. Our genes didn’t change in one generation. This is food. This is fructose in every product on the shelf. This is seed oils in every restaurant kitchen. This is a food pyramid built on grains and funded by industry.
1 in 9 adults on earth now lives with diabetes. Over 4 in 10 don’t know it.
In America alone: 115.2 million with prediabetes. 8 in 10 have no idea. The standard blood test checks fasting glucose, which stays “normal” for up to 20 years while the pancreas is burning out.
No war. No virus. No natural disaster has done this.
We did it to ourselves with food. And the system profits from treating the damage instead of preventing it.
The test that catches it a decade earlier costs less than $20. Ask your doctor for a fasting insulin test. It might be the most important thing you do this year.
@UScrimeReview Whuuut?!?! Nothing happened???
Hearest thou not the sternness of words in the hearings & news panels that followed …….at levels unprecedented in the history of the republic?
Surely this will fuel your gusto and conviction to vote harder next time.
@TinHats4TheWin@AutismCapital@RudyHavenstein This song was still one and a half years away from the Y2K hoax….they seemed to have sniffed that out pretty well (“fake computer crashes”).
@EthicalSkeptic Digging into #88 of my Author’s Founding Edition since Friday.
Pro-tip- I suggest the following soundtrack w/one’s reading sessions:
Steve Roach’s “Darkest Before Dawn.” 73 minutes of ambient, floating space music…ominous, with a touch of wonder.

@GizmoKeyser@forallcurious That, and the fact there was precisely NOTHING "shocking" in the video. Certainly nothing warranting the vaunted police car emoji.
@MorKattens@ahfultz@nobulart My take on her “saturate the earth” was akin to a transformative outpouring of the God’s spirit (i.e., Joel 2:28-32 in the OT).
However, a commenter linked to another prophetess hearing “1,2,3,4” (opp. of the “4321”) and called to mind Micah 1:2,3 &4, which is quite interesting.
@PNWConservative@EthicalSkeptic High school friend (52) died w/glioblastoma 2yrs ago few months after dx. Best friend from grad school (53) dx w/kidney cancer in Feb. Friend (early 50s) dx w/aggressive stage 4 lung cancer.
Pre-existing metabolic derangement + clawt shawt= effective 1-2 punch.
@EthicalSkeptic@theyukonman1 This is precisely what I'm drawn to and looking forward to the challenge.
A faith system, if true, should be able to endure such challenges, so long as we acknowledge our own prior errant biases & tacit commitments to a certain worldview along the way.
