Your overall point is very, very important and often overlooked but pure sugar does not take "longer" to turn into sugar in the bloodstream than simple carbohydrate.
You don't need to turn to hyperbole! Your point is already very important!
I know. But I literally take care of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As in, cerebral palsy. As in, if we quit, these people will have no care.
The 3 on, 4 days off, 4 days on, 3 days off cycle of 12 hour shifts is what I do as in-home health care for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities!
And as a manager, I absolutely do get stuffed into covering 5 or more days. During the pandemic I was doing front half days (Sunday Monday Tuesday) back half nights (Wednesday Thursday Friday). And it's hell!
They increased our pay to $15 an hour in my state as an emergency order so we could finally get some staff, but it's impossible to get enough people and don't even talk to me about quality...
Way way back in the dark ages before adultfanfiction alienated everyone (and, in a move I would later thank them for, deleted all my stuff) I remember getting a comment that said something like,
"Stop writing short stories on this site and go write a novel. I don't have time for this."
Lemme tell ya, that was the most devastating thing I'd ever been told. I still laugh about it sometimes.
I'm upvoting you and I'm going to share your story with others but unfortunately I know this isn't the case with me, as I was adult diagnosis ADHD and dealt with the hypoglycemia since elementary school. I only tried stimulant medication for the first time two years ago.
But I wonder if any studies have been done about frequency of ADHD and hypoglycemia comorbidities! Seems promising!
I know that it's a lifelong drug. I don't care. I'll take it. Especially because of the evened out crashes! Not having a sugar high or a sugar low is so wonderful for someone who has spent 37 years enslaved to snacks.
Between the ADHD medication wreaking havoc with my hunger signals and the non-diabetic hypoglycemia causing me to go from "not hungry" to "dying of a sugar crash," the Wegovy gave me actual satiety for the first time in my life, and evened out the crashes.
I'm a big fan of more options along these lines, for whoever they might save.
I'm both extremely curious and extremely disinterested in learning more. I feel like if I learn about upgrading my vajeen I might obsess over it and my current one works fine.
I imagine it was considered a strategic Tang victory even though it resulted in a loss of the city, because without the time bought by the seige, the Tang would not have been able to put down the rebellion.
There's a lot to be said about it but anyone with a brain will agree to this, and simply this;
Good.
Don't qualify it. Don't turn it into yet another stale argument that will invariably link some grifter's asinine manifesto. Everyone from every side can agree that this is a good thing. Let it be enough.
When people want to call someone dumb so they call them retarded. I work with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and very much dislike both "dementia" and the word "retarded" being weaponized for the same reason.
I know this sucks but I'm here to back up the OP's reply to you. The main theme of the book is that it can't be taught; you have to take out of it whatever you take out of it.
I refer to it on occasion even now, 15 years after I first read it. It's a fantastic book like that, but it's about the nature of everything.
This "dementia" bit needs to die. Call him old or stupid but pathologizing to something as severe as dementia hits me the same way as if you called him "retarded."
