metabolic health. diversity. Washington, DC.
This week’s photograph wasn’t taken in Washington, DC. However, LGBTQ pride, or really the desire to exist as one’s authentic self, is universal.
Enjoy the photographs, along with a sunset photo from the Mediterranean sea :).
Thanks for publishing my photograph, @DCist, of maybe a happier time for certain eating establishments on 14th Street, in Washington, DC.
The photo is from 2016 during the annual @CapitalPrideDC celebration. Here’s one from on the same street; the happiness persists… enjoy.
It’s a time of transition for the nightlife hotspot.

I’m sharing some photos from this year’s (2019) @capitalpridedc LGBTQ pride parade. These are the images of our #LGBTQ communities, across the spectrum of humanity, getting stronger, more determined, and in control of their health and life destinies each day/month/year. I was especially excited to see people living as their authentic selves, made possible by access to medically supervised transition care, as well as whole families who came to support their communities.
Isn’t Washington, DC beautiful?
“First, the LGBT community has never given up on a struggle, even if it took decades to achieve. And second, in the end, they always win.” – Jerome Pohlen, “Gay and Lesbian History for Kids”
Enjoy the photos, more are coming, the camera loves people in control of their health and life destinies.
Thanks for publishing my photograph, @DCist.
It’s of one of Washington, DC’s favorite landmarks, the Liz in love mural at @DachaDC.
What’s not to love?
Happy LGBTQ pride.
Plus, Sizzling Express in Capitol Hill is closing, and more news.

For the people who are told by society that they aren’t amazing, or beautiful, it’s our job to remind them that they’re being lied to.
Happy LGBTQ Pride from Washington, DC, the most inclusive city in the 🌎.

Thank you for publishing my photographs, @TheHereMagazine.
I of course don’t think any of these places are unexpected, they are beautiful by nature, as is equality and the ability to the authentic human you are.
Happy Pride.
This year marks 50 since the Stonewall Uprising, the fateful night a handful of LGBTQ+ New Yorkers took to the streets in radical protest against…

I’m allowing this week’s Photo Friday to not be about Washington, DC. It’s a special occasion 🙂 .
Above and below are The Vessel Sculpture in New York City, as well as photographs from the iconic Stonewall Inn.
It’s not what you preach, it’s what you tolerate. We thank our ancestors for being intolerant.
Enjoy the photos (Stonewall, The Vessel).
Thanks for publishing my photograph, @PopVille.

It’s of the 2019 Vermont Avenue Garden Blooms (and Work) Party.
The answer to the question in the title of course, is “there are many, this is Washington, DC.”

The chart above is not the PQRS of an EKG, it’s a blood glucose spike, followed with a brief hypoglycemic episode.
Both events were asymptomatic – I had no idea they happened until I checked continuous glucose monitor readings later.
What must have happened is the diet soda I ordered at our favorite beer garden was delivered as a sugar sweetened version.
I could just imagine the insulin spike that must have been created this one time, and yet, for most Americans, this is happening every day, multiple times a day, and they don’t know it. Experiments with Continuous Glucose Monitors show it:
And national numbers do as well, the fasting blood glucose level of Americans has been rising:
As has our weight. The two are probably related.
As I mentioned in part 7 of this series, for a person without known diabetes/prediabetes who is fat adapted (via a low-carbohydrate, healthy fat, or #LCHF diet), the response to a carbohydrate load may be different than a person who is carbohydrate adapted or continually seeing a massive deluge of carbohydrates and/or processed foods.
In a person who is not diabetic and specifically not type 1 diabetic and therefore produces insulin, this is not as dangerous as it would be for someone who does not produce insulin.
As has been shown by @DikemanDave – keeping carbohydrate intake managed overall gives a better result.
Success in avoiding diabetic complications has a very large part to do with identification, admission and subsequent removal of the glucose foods – grain, starch, sugar and froot – as they are the most potent culprit in rollercoaster, elevated blood glucose. pic.twitter.com/UQT5j4jnX9

For me, a resumption back to my #LCHF eating pattern showed a similarly flat curve.
And maybe the desire to order water from now on in restaurants 🙂 .
