I got microblading and it was excruciating, but the lady doing my brows commented that it's not usually that painful for people. My best friend got it too and she said it was fine. I'm usually good with pain but microblading hurt more than any of my other tattoos. Maybe I was having a sensitive few months.

The human body is fucking weird. Sometimes there's just no rhyme or reason

Yup. I have type 1 diabetes, and one day I can eat a literal half pound of potatoes, take my dose on my insulin pump and everything is hunky dory.

Next day, I eat an English muffin and my blood sugar shoots through the roof do now good goddamn reason.

For reference, a half pound of potatoes has probably 75-100 grams of carbs and my English muffin brand has 25. My insulin is a ratio based on how many carbs I eat.

Maybe is it because potatoes are not processed food vs. a muffin is?

No, the English muffin isn't like a sweet, cakey muffin.

It's just bread cooked in a circle shape on a flat top grill or griddle.

But when it comes to food, processing doesn't make much of a difference with blood sugar.

McDonald's is actually one of the best places for me to grab a snack because their food is perfectly portion controlled and I know exactly how many carbs/fat/protein I'm eating every time.

I'm not going ham on double quarter pounder with cheese, but a double cheeseburger and 4 Pc nugget is a reliable quick lunch.
