Yep, there's a tech start up called Levels that's pushing cgm use for weight loss... Buncha tech dudebros are bragging about them like they are the new Fitbit. They use them to make their disordered eating more elitist and bitch about how uncool they look and how much they hurt as primary problems that need solving. Rage inducing...

Abled-bodied people on twitter and Facebook are using Continuous Glucose Monitors for weight loss programs. Using a device for a disability for their own beauty and ‘healthy and fit!!1’ purposes.

CGMs, as they’re called more commonly, were specifically made for Diabetics. And only for Diabetics. It’s to help make our lives just a little bit easier with the chronic condition we’re stuck with.

CGMs were NOT made for able bodied people to sit there and use it for their weight loss programs. They don’t even bother to to any tests beforehand to make sure someone can use the damn things right. Nor did these groups consult doctors about the risks.

These groups need to be stopped. They need to be reported for malpractice and harm to the general public. They’re fucking ableist assholes who are doing harm to the Diabetic community and the general public and I will not stand for that.

If any info I’ve presented here is wrong, please correct me in a reblog.

Yet this is the madness I have seen on my dash

“Gaslighting is when someone manipulates information to make the victim question their own experience, memory, or reality. People are able to recognize gaslighting when it comes to relationships, friendships, work settings, and issues like sexism. But when it comes to racial gaslighting, there is an immense disconnect,” Jacquelyn (@Ogorchukwuu) said.

“I have noticed that in general, people are able to acknowledge abusive behaviors such as narcissism, manipulation, and gaslighting. However, it is difficult for people to see how these forms of abuse are ever-present in conversations about racism.”

For many BIPOC, racial gaslighting has been a longtime reality, especially as they share their experiences with racism online and in real life. Instead of building understanding and allyship, racial gaslighting deflects important conversations about race and silences BIPOC voices that need to be heard.

“When BIPOC share their experience with racism or confront someone about their racist behavior, the immediate reaction of the perpetrator is to question the victim’s experience, memory, or reality,” Jacquelyn (@Ogorchukwuu) said.
