>If a brand of CGMs have an issue that sometimes causes false low readings
Not sometimes. "Over an extended period".
"Abbott Diabetes Care stated that certain FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors provide incorrect low glucose readings. If undetected, incorrect low glucose readings over an extended period may lead to wrong treatment decisions for people living with diabetes, such as excessive carbohydrate intake or skipping or delaying insulin doses."
Months of high blood glucose level can worsen patient's condition or if high enough even put them into hyperglycemic coma in weeks(?).
While true, you would have to ignore all other indicators for quite an extensive period of time. Like excessive urination and hypersensitivity being obvious ones. Not impossible but I have the strong sense there is more to this story than reported in the FDA disclosure.
Not true, the effect of high blood levels can be very unpredictable. Especially above a certain number - and largely depending on the basal insulin strategy of the patient, for instance long acting shots versus constant micro doses of short acting via pumps. In the latter case, an untreated high blood sugar could escalate in a matter of hours to a fatal level.
>incorrect low glucose readings over an extended period
I use the G7 and the directions say to always use a finger stick to celebrate the unit, especially at high and low
readings.
Did these people also not see and endocrinologist to get things like A1C?
Diabetes is very unforgiving as you get older or are a fragile diabetic. If they were just dependent on the CGM alone then it's likely a lot of other mismanagement was already occurring.
"A new monk arrived at the monastery. He was assigned to help the other monks in copying the old texts by hand. He noticed, however, that they were copying copies, not the original books. The new monk went to the head monk to ask him about this. He pointed out that if there were an error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all of the other copies.
The head monk said, ‘We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son.’ The head monk went down into the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original.
Hours later, nobody had seen him, so one of the monks went downstairs to look for him. He heard a sobbing coming from the back of the cellar and found the old monk leaning over one of the original books, crying.
He asked what was wrong.
‘The word is ‘celebrate,’ not ‘celibate’!’ sobbed the head monk."
They are not "giving" money. They are exchanging them for resources. Russia gets the money but loses resources which it could've sold to other countries instead.
Ah, you're totally right. Europe is getting the better end of the deal Russia is practically getting scammed, exchanging goods for profits they can redistribute to fund their war.
Yes, Russian politicians like to voice ideas like that or just nuking EU cities. not sure if those are a weekly occurence, but its happened a couple of times this year, from officials mind you, so I wouldn't be surprised if state-run media or even just cranks that Putin likes to run for-out ideas through have weekly "Russians! We need to overrun the decadent EU" articles run...
"The illusory truth effect (also known as the illusion of truth effect, validity effect, truth effect, or the reiteration effect) is the tendency to believe false information to be correct after repeated exposure." [0]
And even if that's not another boring propaganda operation, what would you be telling if you went to fight on Russian side and got captured by the Ukrainians? "Please, please, please don't hurt me, they made me do it, I went to Russia to do sports and they send me to the frontline".
No, Ukrainians are not nazi. The Kiev regime makes heroes out of Ukrainian nazi, both historical figures and present day ones, but you shouldn't generalize that to the whole population.
Ustaše[0] are not my brothers, but I see how you can sympathize with the regime that glorifies banderovtsy[1].
"Jewish and Serb organizations, Croat historians and antifascists, as well as international observers, have repeatedly warned of revisionism in Croatia, which seeks to minimize Ustaše crimes and even celebrates the Ustaše regime. Recent examples include the publication of a book celebrating "the Croatian knight" Maks Luburić, who as head of Ustaše concentration camps was responsible for over 100,000 deaths, during Ustaše genocides against Jews, Serbs and Roma, and a documentary minimizing children's deaths in Ustaše concentration camps."

In the Ukraine they translate and publish[3] memoirs of Nate Pavelich.[4]
"The report, compiled by two thinktanks, the New Lines Institute in Washington and the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights in Montreal, found that there were “reasonable grounds to conclude” that Russia is already in breach of two articles of the 1948 Genocide Convention, by publicly inciting genocide, and by the forcible transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia, which the report notes is itself a genocidal act under article II of the convention."
So the reports says that Putin committed genocide by evacuating orphans from the war zone and saying that Russians and Ukrainians are the same people. Okey.
And that you equate with intentional murder of hundreds of thousands of people of undesired ethnicities by Pavelic?
So the "experts" tell you that calling Russians and the Ukrainian the same people is genocide, and you think "Hmm, they must be right, they are experts. It's the same as saying that Jews are subhuman".
>To call stealing kids from their parents "evacuating orphans" shows you, too, are supportive of genocide.
It's a stale propaganda trope.
When asked for the list of children, Ukrainian regime managed to produce a list with only 339 names and not too convincing explanation of this hundredfold reduction compared to previous claims.
"When asked why Kyiv didn’t present a more extensive list, given that 339 names are less than 2% of the total number of forcefully taken children, Euronews sources explained it was a decision based on previous experience.
“There is a risk that Moscow would try to buy time claiming it takes longer to check the names, while trying to change the identities of Ukrainian children further, making it impossible to track,” the source said." [0]
I don't think being paid in rubles is the necessary condition for knowing international law.
"War reparations are compensation payments made after a war by one side to the other. They are intended to cover damage or injury inflicted during a war. War reparations can take the form of hard currency, precious metals, natural resources, industrial assets, or intellectual properties. Loss of territory in a peace settlement is usually considered to be distinct from war reparations.
War reparations are often governed by treaties which belligerent parties negotiate as part of a peace settlement. Payment of reparations often occur as part of a condition to remove occupying troops or under the threat of re-occupation. The legal basis for war reparations in modern international law is Article 3 of the Hague Convention of 1907.[0]
I hate this talking point so much. If you are talking about China, that's just growth. They are also rolling out more solar than the rest of the world combined. While the US is now actively discouraging investing in renewables.
Chinese coal power outgrows renewables still. A Western country with already cleaner energy destroying whatever remains of their manufacturing only to be moved to China and powered by mostly coal is not only treason of its own citizens but also bad for the climate. Feels so good to be "net zero" while importing materialized coal with not much to trade back (other than coal of course).
Why plural?
>the rule based order
What? By which rule the US invaded Iraq in 2003? By which rule NATO changed the borders of Serbia?
