So if your immune system is attacking your pancreas but you are still producing some insulin then you actually have type 2?

[-] holycrap@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago

Type 1 specifically refers to when the body attacks the insulin producing cells. Not necessarily that it's producing none or not enough, even if that's the way we're accustomed to thinking about the distinction.

The difference between 1 and 2 is the reason your body doesn't produce enough, not how much it produces.

If it's diabetes, type 2 is where your body doesn't produce enough insulin. Usually because it's not absorbing or diminished production capacity.

Type 3 is where sugars don't pass the blood brain barrier thus starving your brain of nutrients. The symptoms look like alzheimer's, so it's usually diagnosed post mortem.

This really feels like an ad

My team has been calling models that use ai generated data "Habsberg models"

My best guess is that the son has no name (it's blank where you might expect the name in the last bit of dialog) because his dad deleted his browser history

I've been following cures like this for years. There are three candidates in phase 2 trials right now that appear to work, they're mostly figuring out the doses needed and there's a big question on how long they last. Hopefully permanent but we don't know for sure.

Diabetics have just been so beaten down by this whole thing. I was told the cure was 10 years away 40 years ago. Even if the technology described here works we could be another 15 years before we see it. Researchers said it could be here as soon as 5 years, which is true if unrealistically optimistic. I believe the cure is coming but I'm not holding my breath until I'm actually in front of a doctor about to receive the cure whatever it happens to be.

Protip: if they mention unions in any way during your interview, you need to be in a union.

As long as they limit the passengers to people with a net worth of 100 million or higher, then I think this should be encouraged.

I think this has as much to do with Google being shit at finding stuff lately as it does llms like chatGPT

I've been spelling it "xitter" and using the sh sound for the xi part of the name when pronouncing it.
