Went to school with a girl who did this all the time. She would also pass out in the middle of class constantly, we just assumed it was from too much partying. She realized, after doing a project on diabetes, that she in fact also had diabetes, which was apparently contributing to the random passing out.
I’m kinda horrified that the poor girl didn’t get help until she was able to pinpoint herself what might be going on. Like if I see someone pass out and fall to the floor, my immediate reaction would be to call an ambulance. If she did go to the doctor how did they not find this first? Why did it take her realizing, “I think I might be diabetic?” Before something got done about it?
Seriously. Losing consciousness in public means you don’t just get paramedics but also an emergency doctor called in Germany and they will check your sugar probably third thing, it’s one of the most obvious possible causes to check.
I’m assuming she only passed out while sitting and thought it was normal. Kids fall asleep at the desk all the time.
No idea, I think she assumed she had narcolepsy or something. It would just happen randomly in class on a semi-consistent basis, she’d just be zonked out in the middle of a lecture. It’s college, so everyone just assumes it’s partying. Not sure if it had only recently started after she started going to school or how long it had been going on for. She’s doing pretty well for herself now though.
I think it’d be easier to detect now, as it seems like blood-testing seems a more common occurrence now, at least for me. This was maybe 10-15 years ago, and especially as a college-student, it didn’t feel like I got as many regular blood tests as I’ve gotten now that would be able to instantly show me I’m diabetic or even pre-diabetic. I get blood drawn every few months now between work wellness checks and my own doctor visits, whereas then I don’t ever remember getting my blood checked for anything. Could be she just didn’t have good insurance or didn’t have a doctor who bothered to check.
Pretty sure this study was sponsored by the Ben & Jerry’s Institute for Post-Graduate Ice Cream Studies
Well, the last time I was in Pisa I had gelato ice cream almost every morning…with a beer
It was 38°c in the shade and I’m skinny as fuck don’t judge me
Status: Judged
Verdict: Nice.
No, Pisa. Nice is 250km away.
Charges: Must Eat More Ice Cream
username checks out 😅
Was €1.5 two scoops back then, was banging
Probably fucking expensive now though
The brain likes sugar. Ice cream has sugar. Ergo the brain likes ice cream.
It’s just too bad the rest of the body doesn’t like sugar as much as the brain does.
So you’re saying I should just cut of the middle man and eat sugar straight from the bag for breakfast for some good vibes?
You also need to cut out the middleman of your stomach sending the sugar all over and dump it directly into your brain.
Trust me. A brain came up with this plan, so it must be true!
Try just glucose. Fructose is major contributor to imbalances in your body. (Seriously. It’s almost always converted to fat before being used in oxidative phosphorylation, and also can deplete your phosphate in large quantities, leading to a cascade that ends up with you having gout)
Right. Fructose in moderation is typically no issue, but I feel for all the folks that switched to 100% agave syrup and kept a sugar-rich diet. Liver and kidney failure due to fat buildup if they were unlucky. Don’t remember where I read the study but it’s out there somewhere for those that want to search it up. Made me rethink what sugar replacements I use.
It seems like every time I hear about sugar replacements they seem more dangerous than sugar itself
Children, let me tell you about the magic that is affogato coffee.
Double the fun for coffee-triggered poopers that are also lactose intolerant.
blowout in the dairy isle.
Their bloodline is WEAK, but at least this proves their spirit is STRONG
Same here. And cheap whisky was also involved.
And are you better? If so, how can you rule out that the whisky and ice cream didn’t have a lasting positive effect.
Snail or slug lookin thumbnail on this mf
I thought it was some sort of eyeball 👀
Maybe that’s the point exactly… You get ice cream in the morning to get the brain going.
Great username 😎
It’s just milk. People drink milk with their breakfast all the time. People put it in their cereal.
It’s not just milk, it also has a lot of sugar and fat, but then a lot of cereals also have tons of sugar so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Agree that it has a bit of sugar but all of the fat is purely from the milk. It’s not like they add extra fat or anything.
However if you consider how much sugar people have on a daily basis it’s not an unheard or extreme amount of sugar.
A glass of OJ has more sugar then what you’d consume from a little bit of ice cream.
The reality is there isn’t anything in ice cream that would be any different then most breakfasts you have. It’s just weird to think about because it’s a dessert even though it’s just frozen milk with a little a sugar in it.
Yeah good luck finding ice cream made out of milk these days
edit: this was a joke that clearly sucked sorry
It’s pretty easy if you’re not just buying the cheap, store brands.
??? Show me ice cream that doesn’t have milk in it.
You literally cannot have ice cream without milk. That’s what makes it ice cream. If it doesn’t have milk in it then by definition it is not ice cream.
I was being intentionally hyperbolic as a statement about the overall degradation of pure food sources in common foods, dont sweat it. Not that I think we need anymore milk.
Dairy-free ice cream is a thing. And it’s incredibly prevalent right now. My personal favorite non-dairy ice cream is actually rice based. Rice Dreams is really good 🤤
Ya it’s existed for awhile. It isn’t ice cream even if it’s marketed as such. It has by no means replaced dairy ice cream. Person I replied to is making it sound like they don’t make diary ice cream anymore which is blatantly not true what so ever. Dairy ice cream is the most popular type of ice cream sold in grocery stores by a massive margin.
I would imagine that user probably sees the same thing I see at my local grocery stores: Non-dairy and lactose free alternatives taking up more space than regular ol’ ice cream. Much like how the “gluten free” craze has similarly taken over store shelves.
If I didn’t really look when I was grabbing something that looked good, I could easily end up with fake ice cream.
Oh yeah. I used to use this line with chicks all the time.
Possibly the relevant study
but did you improve tho?
