too much computer time the last few years smh

losing your vision is one of the symptoms of type 2 diabetes

is it that you can't focus or is there kinda like 2 versions of the text smeared at some angle or so?

this is called double vision and it's caused by a fault in the aiming muscles that control the direction of the eye, they have to twitch very fast, about 200-300x per second and if there is something wrong with the signalling, latency, which i believe is caused by amylose from excess blood sugar - it will fail to home on the single position and potentially start to do orbital patterns or just generally wrong direction

i got this happening to me starting middle of last year and carbs in general were the main cause, what seemed to accelerate it was monster sugar free, which has sucralose and acesulfame-K in it

i discovered all this by accident when i switched to a milk diet to save money after my former sponsor for my work on indra rugged me at the last minute when he arrived in madeira

i have been able to slowly reverse this problem and i now am convinced that it also affects focus muscles and probably hardens the eye lens a bit as well as weakening the focus muscle so not only do you find it hard to read text you also find it hard to focus close

what really started off the questions for me was when i had a massive toothache triggered by potato chips with maltodextrin (alkali treated starch, which is extremely high GI) and i figured out that sugar was the cause of the nerve pain problem in my teeth, and then the stuff about the vision, and so on and so on

the cure is a low carb, keto/carnivore/paleo diet and when i say low carb, i mean, even tomatoes and cucumbers are a bit too sweet... skim milk is a bit too sweet...

i've just started eating exclusively for the last couple of days and i'm already getting way improved vision... when it gets bad, in the morning i can't read well for about an hour or two, and caffeine seems to help fix it somehow... but now i'm waking up almost clear vision again... and this was just from eating salads!

why goat only?

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

it's the only meat i can get that isn't veal and it happens that the nearby butcher/barman/shopkeeper guy slaughtered this most recent batch

goat meat is practically guaranteed not to be fed on any kind of grain, nobody bothers feeding their young billy goats anything fancy, they just grow them until they get too big to keep their mothers lactating and slaughter them, it's a not well known thing here in #madeira culture - and goats are everywhere here... there seems to be a huge number of small scale goat dairies, hardly a single village without at least one little herd, and you hear them bleating every so often as you walk around almost anywhere - even in the suburb right next to the airport!

i have allergy to eggs because of grain feed, and there is no option in any shops anywhere, one brand of eggs, all grain fed

i can't stand the taste of veal, i hate pork, and both are grain fed garbage, no beef available, and chicken meat, of course, also grain fed

so i'm fortunate to be able to access this food and i am adjusting myself to eating it as my primary food now

the symptoms of this sugar metabolism problem are extremely damaging to my productivity and my quality of life, and have really shown me just how deeply corrupt the government/agriculture/medicine/biotech complex has gotten here in europe
