The government expects to collect $2.2 billion from soda drinks in 2026, and the money will be fully allocated to the health budget to combat an epidemic of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, says President Claudia Sheinbaum
I mean diabetes isn’t necessarily a death sentence, but I’d imagine it’s not fun at all. Turns out self-control is really hard. It’s kind of why I gave up on trying to control anyone else. Does that affect ours and others’ lives both negatively and positively? Resounding yes. I’m just glad I don’t have diabetes, but I have continued to adjust my diet, with a few major f’up days. Other habits are still challenging me.
I’ve got the beetus. Genetic, though type 2. I’m in my 40s and I’ve known about it since around 18. I only require oral meds. I’ve also adjusted my diet enough that diabetes really isn’t my biggest concern, at this point. Others may have a more challenging time with their diabetes though. With that said, I still eat too much crap I shouldn’t! I try 🤷♂️
I’m glad it’s not your biggest challenge. I’ve lost neighbors and family to both sugar and salt, as well as plenty of other addictions resistant to curbing.
Kidney disease is pretty horrific.
And diabetes… name a more iconic duo!

I’ve lost mine to water. They drowned.
I’m sorry to hear that.
Thank you. It’s okay. We all have our own issues to answer.
Anyone looking forward to this?
