I say this NOT from a political standpoint, but from a medical one. #SOTU
#POTUS said $35 cap is for Type I #diabetes. Helps ~1M. That's good!
The 1 in 10 ppl have diabetes is mostly those w/Type II: 37,000,000 ppl. THAT's where high costs are!

Again, NOT political, just can't help myself from trying to disentangle potentially confusing medical stats.
The common citation is how common Type II diabetes is (1 in 10), but the program is meant to address Type I diabetes costs (about 1 in 500 kids).

With the more common Type II diabetes (#T2DM), there are a lot of other healthcare costs, due to the many comorbidities in this patient population.
Lowering insulin costs for kids with Type I is a good start, but we also need to prevent / manage Type II!

What started as an exploration to better understand physical activity constraints in patients with treated hypothyroidism, has culminated in valuable data and novel factors that are associated with long-term exercise intolerance in this specific group. 1/ 
Our latest study showed that moderate-intensity physical activity was lower in patients compared to the general population. 2/
@MassGovernor @MassDPH #exerciseismedicine You guys have it completely backwards.
You're saying that Beer Gardens and Street Festivals with up to 250 (presumably unmasked) people are fine starting 5/29.
But apparently gyms won't be safe until at least August. (1/?)

There are now hundreds of RCTs in #exerciseoncology & many systematic reviews.
These underpin guidelines & calls for exercise to be part of cancer care.

However, in many disciplines including #psychology & #oncology, there is evidence of selective reporting bias:
Reporting the results of some outcomes or analyses & not others, depending on the nature (e.g. significant p-value) or direction (e.g. positive) of the results.

1/ Are you exercising🏃♀️to boost your mental well-being during the pandemic🦠? People exercise because it makes them feel good🙃, but what exactly happens in our body? Keep reading to satisfy your curiosity & learn about the #mechanisms behind aerobic exercise & #mentalhealth
2/ Anxiety and depression are common mental health conditions. The prevalence in cardiac patients is ~20-30% & 2x higher in ♀️ vs ♂️. Social roles (e.g. caregiver role), cultural norms (e.g. societal sexism) and more pronounced hormonal shifts in ♀️ influence this sex-difference

Why do poorer Australians have shorter life expectancy than wealthy ones? Exercise and opiates as comparative risk factors: a flaming 🔥🔥🔥 hot long thread including the #RedRoosterLine 1/many
@JudkinsSimon @stephenjduckett @CroakeyNews @DrChrisBarton @ACSEP_ @apaphysio @ESSA_NEWS @Kaubo We’ve known for a while than life expectancy is slightly worse (4-6 yrs) in poorer Australians with smoking status, diet, exercise and maybe less access to “good” medical care being potential explanations healthstats.nsw.gov.au/Indicator/bod_…
@JudkinsSimon @stephenjduckett @CroakeyNews @DrChrisBarton @ACSEP_ @apaphysio @ESSA_NEWS @Kaubo Exercise is now receiving its due as a very important lifestyle factor bmj.com/content/366/bm…. @BMJ has just urged us to include Exercise as a routine part of medical consultations, saying it is perhaps the only “medical” treatment with only benefit vs no substantial harm
