I love my country, I know the threat we face, I'm a decent shot...

That's exactly what he said…

Type 1 diabetes is mostly genetic. Type 2 diabetes is basically impossible to get unless you have a shitty diet.

If you want to get technical it's also entirely possible to get Type 2 simply by being an old fart, and a small handful do get it genetically but it's like a percent of a percent.


Just figured I'd mention, beings as I almost never meet others with Type One shitloads of two though, is that if you don't already have one, a continuous glucose monitor is probably the best thing to happen to our shared medical malady since insulin. Seriously, if you're like me and kept having high A1C's even when your numbers seemed okay, get a CGM. Mine's called a Dexcom and no shit, it's the biggest to quoth sir Chris Chan life upgrade you'll ever get with this shit-ass condition. Being able to see your blood sugar approximately, it's not exact but it's better than nothing which is what you normally get every five-ish minutes really does make it SO much easier to control.

The downside is it's goddamn expensive so you'd better have good insurance which I don't, but my wife fortunately does and I'm on it and even then it's still going to be whatever the max they can get away with charging you is. That said, Type One isn't a particularly poor man's illness either which I do believe is a big part of why so many people die from it, if you're even vaguely lower class there is no fucking way you could possibly afford a stick of Lantus, let alone extra test strips.

I've long since come to peace with the fact that if SHTF I'm so fucked it isn't even funny, but maybe I could get the wife to somewhere safe before having a true king's bounty of choices of firearm to off myself with.

I've heard about it but I'm paranoid when it comes to putting things on me that are electronic. But I don't really need it because my A1C is good, and I'm also a skinnyfag so I wouldn't have anywhere to change spots on a regular basis without it turning to scar tissue quickly.

Become an America First politician. Campaign promises: impeach any and all sanctuary jurisdiction government officials. Cut off any federal funds to sanctuary jurisdictions. Cut off federal transportation funds to any state that issues driver's licenses to illegals. Only legal US citizens get a federal voter ID and must present said ID before entering the polling place, or before having a mail in ballot sent. Any voter fraud results in deportation if an illegal, lifetime ban if a citizen. No birthright citizenship for children born to illegals or to pregnant foriegn nationals traveling to the US for the purpose of birthing a child on US soil. Protection of the 2nd Amendment. If you don't have the ability to be a politician, become active in politics. I could go on but you get the idea.
