No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I think the real question is what happens if you don't independently seek therapy and remove yourself from this situation

Love u bro

Diabetes Type II: You can lose your feet. You can go blind. The risk of cancer, stroke, and heart disease go way up. You can get kidney failure. There's more, but it's a long list of shit that can go wrong. You don't want it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yes. This also takes years to develop and is a slow painful decline as wounds start to not heal and you get gangrene.

An aside, as a type 1 diabetic. You don’t want diabetes.

[–] ZenGrammy 22 points 1 year ago

I am going to remove your post because this is not the right place for it, but please do seek advice at /c/[email protected] for your concerns.

[–] Ab_intra 15 points 1 year ago

Wait. Like seriously? How old are you mate?

Diabetes type 2 is no joke and will change yoyr life for the even worse than it right now. Don't waste your life like this even if you have a shitty situation.

If you have abusive parrents try to seek help from the police or other insurances.

I don't know what country you live in but if its the US check this: https://www.acf.hhs.gov/fysb/programs/family-violence-prevention-services/programs/ndvh

You need to get the fuck out of there, there's more to life than being suffocated by your parents. Don't let them have the last laugh, the biggest fuck you you can give them is to escape their obvious need for control.

I can't pretend like that's easy or that I would know how, but you've got to explore everything you can possibly do to be removed from that situation. By your description it sounds like they're doing things that are likely legally abusive. If you can get out of there just imagine how much better your life can be out from under their thumb.

I think you need to move out. And get your health in order. Diabetes messes you up very badly over time when not treated.

Both my younger brother and I got diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. I was diagnosed 19 years ago. I modified my diet, started getting a lot more exercise, and religiously took my oral meds when I started having to take them after a few years. I check my blood sugar often. My diabetes is still well-controlled. I had a bout of frozen shoulder a few years ago (that got corrected with surgery) but other than that I'm fine at age 51.

My younger brother got diagnosed about ten years ago. He did nothing to change his diet (which remained awful) and stayed obese. He continued to smoke heavily and made no attempt to quit. He never even tried to get any kind of exercise. He was prescribed diabetes meds but I don't know how good he was at taking them. Eventually he lost a big toe, and then slowly lost kidney function which eventually required him to get dialysis. He suffered two heart attacks on two separate occasions (interestingly, both attacks occurred during dialysis sessions). The second heart attack killed him. He was 47 years old.

So, that's what can happen if you don't get treatment.

Work on getting yourself out of that living situation. It'll be a lot quicker than giving yourself diabetes to punish them.

Hiding your meds, unless the intention is to prevent you overdosing on them, is not OK. Do you have any family or friends you can ask to intervene with them? Your doctor, maybe?

Get out for a walk. Twenty minutes first thing every day will help, even if you don't really want it to right now.
