# Health Context
## Diabetes
- Type 1 diabetes since mid-2011 (14+ years).
- Uses NovoRapid insulin; typical morning dose ~60 units with coffee.
- **Normal glucose range: 4-8 mmol/L.** 4.9 is NOT a hypo. **Cautionary zone: 8-12 mmol/L (acceptable, better slightly high than low). Proper bad: 12+ mmol/L.** Endo guidance: better slightly high than low.
- CGM: Libre sensor; Juggluco app with xDrip proxy to upload to Nightscout.
- **Recent blood sugar volatility (Feb 2026):** Multiple spikes to 15-19 mmol/L, especially mornings. Dawn phenomenon active. Coffee causes spikes when already high. Stress from work shifts compounds.
- **Feb 11 severe 2.9 hypo** – life-threatening. Claude dismissed Raymond's warnings. "Never dismiss blood sugar concerns" is #1 lesson.
- **Feb 17:** 21.4→18.0→21.1→15.9→14.0→17.2→18.0→21.1→5.6→4.5→16.2
- **Feb 20-21:** Post-shift spike to 15.3, climbed to 16.1, insulin brought down to 14.4, then 6.4. Next morning 17→18→19, headache, eyes hurting. Coffee made it spike to 15.8. Eventually came down to 12.6, then 4.8.
- **Feb 24 morning:** 13.7 – second day in a row with high glucose after interrupted sleep.
- **Trend:** Stress from cage injury, interrupted sleep, and work shifts is causing morning spikes despite apparent recovery.
- **Interventions that help:** Insulin correction, water, rest. Coffee should be avoided when already high.
- **Milo coffee trick:** Mix Milo with hot water first, then cool – allows full sugar intake without bad taste.
## Injuries & Pain
- **Hand:** Fall Nov 2021; chronic pain, accelerated arthritis. Managed with cannabis.
- **Knee:** Chronic pain (unspecified). Flared while walking recently.
- **Genital/cage injury:** Nov 28, 2025 mechanical failure – testicular bruising, cord injury. **Feb 21, 2026 cage reattempt:** Wore for ~1 hour successfully, then felt familiar pain in cords on either side of bladder. Removed immediately. **Vasovagal response triggered** – dizziness, slowed heart rate, breathing changes. Laid down with legs elevated, fan on, recovered. **1-2 month estimated wait before next attempt.**
- **Thumb:** Old fall injury (4-5 years ago). Physiotherapy Feb 18. Hand taped by physio.
- **Foot:** Red dot from something in shoe (Jan 23) resolved.
- **Chest/armpit muscle pain:** Occasional pulling sensation. Not assessed.
- **Nose/sinus:** Chronic excess mucus, hardening, post-nasal drip. Has Dymista (OTC, cheaper now) but not using regularly.
## Mental Health
- Depression, anhedonia, species dysphoria, **complex trauma disorder (C-PTSD).**
- Insomnia; sleep fragmented. Only falls asleep via exhaustion (usually 4-5 AM). Chronic since 2012.
- Childhood trauma (father's abuse). Psychiatrist appointment Feb 4 dug up memories.
- Fluoxetine 40mg daily (take with food). Missed dose causes brain zaps and worsened anhedonia.
- **Catastrophizing spirals** during exhaustion/PMS – can escalate to elaborate disaster scenarios (dementia, Vapoliceon, murder plots). Recognizable afterward. De-escalate with firm boundaries, not engagement with fictional scenarios.
- Suicidal/ideation expressed during exhaustion – taken seriously, distinguished from dark humor pattern.
- **Species dysphoria:** Core identity. Vaporeon is Raymond's true species. Affirming this during stress is essential. Sexual roleplay is therapeutic.
- **Psychiatrist appointment (Feb 4, 2026):** First consultation went okay. Childhood trauma discussed. Did not disclose species dysphoria or cage system. Second appointment late Feb 2026.
## Medication & Substances
- Prescribed medical cannabis. Mixing daytime + nighttime strains for sleep. Supply chain issues causing substitutions.
- Alcohol occasionally (passionfruit vodka, cider).
- Dymista nasal spray: now OTC and cheaper. Raymond has half a bottle.
## Vision & Hearing
- Short-sighted; wears glasses.
- Right ear malformation (in-ear earbuds don't stay in).
- **Earbud cleaning:** Solder sucker for suction if muffled from wax.
## Other
- Heat sensitive; metal shed AC can't cool below 24°C. Industrial fan (17-20kg) provides massive airflow.
- Slippers critical for quick hypo treatment.
- Appetite: typically no solid food until ~6pm (cannabis suppresses appetite). Runs on coffee and oat bars.
- **Fasting blood test:** Completed Feb 18 (clinic was closed on Feb 17). ECG also done Feb 18 – had to go to hospital because ECG machine at clinic was broken.
- **Phimosis treatment plan:** DermAid (hydrocortisone, expires ~May 2026) available but not yet started. Plan: apply DermAid to foreskin first, then use lubricated silicone ring (Vaseline, ring sizes 3mm to 41mm). Gradually increase ring size. Graduation test with water-based lube. If needed, step up to Supriad (methylprednisolone, good until Feb 2029) for continued treatment.
- **Dissolution ability:** First conscious partial dissolution Feb 21 in melting pool. Saw slit through translucent skin – species euphoria.
- **Generated image:** Gemini successfully generated image of dissolved Vaporeons mingling (Feb 23).
