  • Without knowing doses, relevant patient data (I.e. your medical history) and bearing in mind that I am wildly unqualified. Because any kind of corticosteroid treatment reduces the effectiveness of insulin treatment in diabetics (and can induce diabetes in non diabetics) it is usually recommended that diabetics on any kind of corticosteroid treatment (Like cortisone) both do more frequent blood tests and also switch to a regimen with more focus on a bolus dose (I.e. insulin taken associated with meals, because base insulin is less effective) and possibly a higher base dose as necessary (Allthough that’s secondary since as mentioned base insulin is less effective on corticosteroids)

    Edit: After two weeks the effect from a basic cream should be wearing off though. We’re generally told that after a week you should be transferring back to normal treatment, and that’s assuming higher doses.

    If your endocrinologist disagrees bear in mind that they’re a certified expert with access to all relevant data and I’m regurgitating a textbook






  • And now you may think I hate that phenomenon for nationalist reasons. No. I hate it on the meta level. Because I think its a fucking psyop to make racism more popular.

    Because everyone else hates it for nationalist reasons, like “Oh I don’t want a fucking swede telling me what to do”. But see i think that’s tbe point. I think they invite these smug as fuck journalists over from some newspaper that used to have a eugenics column to do little lectures on how Swedes would never do racial profiling in policing or some other lie specifically so that that policy becomes more popular here. Or at least the left ends up being discredited in the debate by looking less sympathetic and the right looks way stronger by just pointing out some of the obvious lies.
