(Intro contd) I'm probably the equivalent of a paralegal on federal disability laws, (APWU UNION YES), and maybe an honorary MD on the comorbidities of diabetes and PTSD, hyperlipotrophy, the Somogyi effect, Hypoglycemia Unawareness, catecholamine burnout, counterregulatory responses, the resulting autonomic failure, etc.

@derivadow Re: mental: Yes! I've read they're starting to see #DiabetesDistress as a legitimate condition. Of course the line between mental and physical gets blurry when we talk about "fringe" stuff like HU (#HypoglycemicUnawareness), #HAAF (Hypoglycemia Associated Autonomic Failure), "type 3 diabetes" (#alzheimers) or even the interactions between catecholamine responses and bloodsugar in non diabetics with #PTSD. Ps- not a doctor but I've been treating my own #t1d for 37 yrs ;)
