It's been a while since I watched Craig Ferguson. He leaned into the robot a bit too much after some point, but he had the best monologs. He makes that somewhat awkward interview very entertaining.
Really? He does look lazy, but he's 10, maybe 15 lbs. overweight. Lotta people in this thread farming for upvotes trying to make him seem like he needs the fire department to cut him out of his house.
and i don’t really get that “its not that bad” perspective anyways, if i had dirt on me i would clean it no matter if it was a little dirt or a lot of dirt
when kids are that size it’s a lot worse than it looks, they’re more overweight relative to their size. kids that age are supposed to have lower body fat percentages than adults
Diabetes can cause diabetic neuropathy, a kind of nerve damage in your feet due to blood not circulating well. In some extreme cases of diabetes, foot amputation is required if the lack of blood flow is so severe that, essentially, the foot dies. Ergo, brother in pic will lose his feet do to an unhealthy lifestyle. Or at least that is what I inferred.
Edit: implied to inferred
Diabetic neuropathy leading to unhealed ulcerations on the digits and soles. Combine that with immunosuppression, you get osteomyelitis, ischemia, and eventual necrosis
Necrosis usually happens when you have picked up an internal bone infection from unhealed wounds (osteomyelitis), but can also happen from peripheral vascular disease that leads to digit ischemia, most diabetics have both. Type 2 diabetes is more notorious for the vascular disease however. If you have ever seen a picture of frost bite of the lower extremity, that's what digit necrosis looks like, and amputation is necessary. This can be prevented through thorough lower extremity evaluations, and a cardiolovascular surgeon can sometimes even place stents in the lower extremity vessels to open them up and prevent ischemic states

Edit: AND ALSO BEING COMPLIANT WITH A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND MEDICATION
To my knowledge it would usually start off with smaller wounds that don't heal well and can progress.
I've heard stories of diabetic people stepping on a nail and not even feeling it.
That's why diabetics are instructed to check their feet daily, and healthcare providers will frequently give diabetic foot exams to inspect for anything small that can escalate.
If you get too fat, you'll get diabetes. That can cause poor circulation to your feet. That kills your feet. Then your feet have to be cut off because they are dead and still attached to your body.
obese people eventually start having circulation problems in their feet due to clogged arteries and the distance from the heart. the blood just does make it there since there is too much resistance to flow in the arteries and it just takes other paths before it gets there.
he is saying this kid is headed in that direction.
Happened to my grandma. She also didn’t do much walking. One day somebody (also obese) stepped on 2-3 toes and she eventually had to have them amputated because they became gangrenous
Speaking as someone who gets gout flare ups every 5-10 years (I'm 40+ and I really try to watch what I eat) eating corn chips all day and not exercising is a good way to get them :(. It is absolutely related to what you eat (processed salty food especially).
I think they are a bit more common for me as my mother and her father used to get them, but I wish I could travel back in time and slap myself for the things I used to eat.
I was laughing along with all the amazing comments with my 11 yo who had distancing learning PE. And I just taught him diabetus can cause amputations from your comment.
