  • Type I and II diabetes (mellitus) are different diseases and insulin use isn’t simple enough that diet recommendations (which every diagnosed diabetic probably already knows) are a magical missing piece for RFK Jr.

    People with type I are deficient in insulin and it’s part of treating the disease right away. Insulin is used for people with type II, who aren’t deficient but can’t use insulin well, later in the disease progression if other treatments are no longer effective.

    If a person with type II diabetes is on insulin, diet was probably treatment number one and has probably already failed or isn’t effective enough.

    Meanwhile, in weed land, our heroes embark on a quest for the great 1/8 in many countries.

    It’s hard to walk up to a counter and ask for 3 point 5 of weed.

    Edit: just an observation, I’m on team metric. Call weed whatever you want as long as around here we keep calling it legal.
