until now I had organized my papers into a large pile, and finding any paper was a horizontal nightmare. Now they are all hole punched and in a binder... because i staple in the top left of the paper, i hole punch on the right side; so that i can quickly browse the papers in the binder (staple out).

    Is it just me or are all the documents upside down in the binder?

    Am I reading this correctly — the hypothesis is that bipolar mania is downstream of how bipolar people metabolize sugars? Like when you give kids too much sugar and they’re hyperactive (allegedly)? That’s bananas!

    kinda - after a long enough time of sugar overload the brain insulin ratio gets skewed and there is a brain energy crisis that may be the underlying etiology of various brain issues including bipolar (and maybe hyperactivity).

    I know I should read the paper because you linked it... But I'm curious about that as a hypothesis because I would have presumed that people with poorly controlled diabetes with a higher HbA1c would the have higher rates of brain issues ? Aside from the vascular cognitive impairment it's nothing I've noticed anecdotally

    It's a hypothesis paper framing the guidelines for future research.

    Yes, poorly controlled t2d is at greater risk for NDDs as far as I'm aware.

    I have not read this paper, but it has a graph that is illustrative

    I almost never print off a paper anymore. I do pay $20 per year for Zotero cloud storage however.

    Sure, the astronauts had "Tang", but they didn't have "Duotang"!

    You know what? That's great! I actualy love to organize my paperwork in binders. It always feels like a chore to get started, but by the time I am done, I feel satisfied and I actually kinda had fun doing it.
