Yeah.... his Type 1 diabetes is to blame https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/i...me-broadcaster-denounced-using-racial-epithet
One of the often overlooked symptoms of type 1 diabetes doctor's never have the gumption to ask for fear of social media retribution from their patients is "When you get hangry, do you have a difficult time censoring your true beliefs about people you don't like?" We must get past all this red tape!
this clown really brought up that he has African American friends and employees... racist playbook 101
I have friends who are type I diabetics and acting oddly and inappropriately when they are having blood sugar is an issue. I'll have to keep an eye out for them suddenly turning racist.
Crackerbeetus definitely on the rise, as people consume more sugary soda while watching Cucker Tarlson.
Not defending this guy However I have type 1 diabetes. In 46 and found out I have diabetes 14 years ago. Here is what the guy is saying though he is probably lying. The reason sugar is so toxic is its only purpose is that its brain food. The problem with diabetes is high blood sugar, however taking too much insulin (there is no definite amount) can bring your sugar too low and that causes you to become confused and and it can cause you to pass out which has happened to me and it can eventually cause your brain to shut down eventually resulting in death
Yes that is true and matches what I've seen with friends when their blood sugar spirals down. I've yet to see them suddenly turn racist. They might get belligerent and act out. The most that can be said about the sportscaster is that yes low blood sugar might've led him to blurt out what he said but it isn't responsible for him having that thought in his head.
Exactly this. If he just randomly said the word with no context, maybe diabetes could be relevant. But he had a more fully complete statement - that he hoped this team lost because they were kneeling and disrespecting the country. Combine that with the use of the word, and I don't know the relevance of diabetes. It certainly didn't make him think that whole idea.
Yes belligerence comes before confusion I'm glad you mentioned that. You get this feeling of being very hungry which causes you to become very agitated by anything
Since I know very little about the nuances of diabetes, how often is it that one's sugar spikes? I assume it varies from person to person, but I know a handful of diabetics and in casual conversations with them about it, they have never mentioned it. Thanks.
When I was diagnosed with diabetes I was in corporate America. Sidenote I was diagnosed as type 2 which looking back I don't understand how they made that mistake other than my my body was still producing insulln. Basically type 1s have a whole other other level of blood sugar. Anyway the point about work is I was behind a desk. I was very careless about diabetes and eventually I ran into complications that made me get serious. I also developed an infection 6 years after diagnosis that had to be taken out of my esophagus in an emergency surgery. I started having to work general labor jobs after this because of being laid off not related to diabetes but the point is this is when i started having some low blood sugar issues and I didn't know what was happening but I remember this one particular incidence of a guy telling me I was talking crazy one day after work and a few weeks later I passed out at work
Being type 1 your sugar levelspikes everyday. You can't completely avoid sugar. Therefore there are 2 types of insulin. One is taken on a regular basis that basically acts over time. The other insulin is taken for the spikes and acts very quickly. This is why diabetics have to constantly monitor their sugar level to determine how much insulin is needed but its not an exact measurement so too much insulin can be taken. This is why hard candy or orange juice, something that can bring your sugar levels up quickly needs to be within reach
