This is an autoimmune disease, which occurs when the body [https://untappedreviews.com/blood-balance-formula-review/ Blood Balance Formula  ] immunity system turns against a part of the body. The immune system attacks the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas, hereby destroying them. This result in pancreas producing little or no insulin. To counter this shortcoming of the body, a person with type 1 diabetes must take insulin to carry out the normal functioning of the body smoothly. It occurs most commonly in young people and children, but can happen at any age. The cause for occurrence of this type of diabetes is still unknown.

Type 2 Diabetes (Non insulin dependent disease)- In this case despite of the pancreas producing enough insulin, body can not use insulin effectively. The body, for reasons unknown, goes into insulin resistance mode. Due to this, over the years the insulin production decreases. As a result, the glucose builds up in the body and the body cannot make good use of it as a fuel providing energy. This type of diabetes attacks body gradually, unlike type 1. Symptoms may include fatigue or nausea, frequent urination, unusual thirst, weight loss, blurred vision, frequent infections and slow healing of wounds or sores. Some people have no symptoms.

Gestational Diabetes- As the name suggest, it occurs only during pregnancy. It occurs commonly among women with a family history of diabetes. Women who have had gestational diabetes are more likely to contract type 2 diabetes within 5 to 10 years. Besides these, other rarer types of diabetes like diabetes insipidus, juvenile diabetes and feline diabetes also exist. Diabetes is one of the disorders of the body that can be managed with all cautions. There are various types of remedies - prescription medication, home remedies, Yoga, Pranayama, Homeopathy, and so on. 'Homeopathic medicine for diabetes' is not a new approach to cure diabetes. Homeopathic treatment has been in practice from long years as an alternative medicine. Though some people may question the concept of homeopathic cure option, there is sufficient evidence to claim that homeopathy cures diabetes. As an alternative system of medicine, homeopathy is quite safe and has no side effect. A minimum dose of homeopathic medicines can cure or even prevent diabetes in chronic conditions. It is a proven fact that homeopathic medicines are not only potent to reducing blood sugar levels but also extending help to promote health for overall wellness.

Revision as of 06:49, 3 May 2019


The comic as a whole is making fun of how meta software developers get about the user experience, seeking to name all the different types of interactions a user can have with an app or webpage. This comic is massive for me on my desktop (chrome); I wonder if this is a joke about bad UX or if it is a genuine error? Fwacer (talk) 18:50, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

It's not this big on xkcd.com. Did it start this big and got fixed on the original site? Update: replaced with the image from xkcd.com which was much smaller. Cgrimes85 (talk) 18:55, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
Looks like it is fixed now, but yes it was also that big on xkcd.com initially. Fwacer (talk) 19:19, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
It's bad U[even more unprintable glyph]. 172.68.226.114 08:27, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

To me, it comes across as a hyperbolic play on the common confusion between the meaning of UI and UX. [1] Ahiijny (talk) 19:06, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

It makes sense that it would be alpha and omega, but I originally thought it was the "proportional" symbol. I only ask because alpha is lowercase and omega is uppercase, although perhaps this was to avoid confusion with the Latin "A". Cgrimes85 (talk) 19:13, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Concerning the lowercase/uppercase difference, since alpha is the beginning and omega is the end, then consider that in the beginning we are born little and then grow up - we start out as lowercase and end up as uppercase. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 19:30, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

This is a joke on integration, yes?172.69.68.129 19:33, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice" -- I guess the big in the comic being about the arc of the moral universe can reference the fight against segregation and thus for integration...
I meant mathematical integration...

I'm happy with the explanations I just added for everything but "Life's experience of time" -- does anyone know what that phrase is from? 172.68.133.54 05:48, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

I thought it was made by a U[unprintable glyph] designer. 172.68.226.64 07:40, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

No UK - well that is about par 141.101.107.240 20:45, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

On what level are those idiots who say "user doesn't need this setting, it would only confuse him"? -- Hkmaly (talk) 22:20, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

UG2 - user second-guessing. 172.68.142.197 06:27, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Why has Randall chosen this particular set of characters? Why Z? Why alpha and omega - the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, used in the bible quote "i am the alpha and omega" i.e. the beginning and the end, but what link with the subject? Or is it just a sequence of increasingly improbable characters from latin through Greek, then glyphs then unprintable glyphs..? 108.162.229.82 07:34, 26 April 2019 (UTC) Dancergraham

UX comes after UI in the alphabet, and so Randall first extended that to the last letter of the Latin alphabet, then Greek. Infinity then also makes sense, but I don't know about the bullet. Oliphaunt (talk) 09:08, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
Other than being the last letter of the Latin alphabet, I can't come up with any other meaning for "Z" to represent something in psychology. As for the remaining symbols, I think alpha might represent the "a" in actualization or the beginning of the user's awareness or life because alpha represents beginning. Since Omega means the end, this likely represents the end of the user's life, which determines the length of the arc of their life. I believe the infinity symbol is a reference to how time looks to the typical life of a user, since it extends well before and after a user's life. Lastly, I think the black circle might represent a view of morality as either a black hole or a dark subject. This is just my impressions. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 13:31, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
I did think about "Z" representing Zen, but I'm not sure how that connects with psychology. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 13:57, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
Zychology...162.158.91.95 14:29, 29 April 2019 (UTC)


My initial thought was that the black circle represents the "black point message" that crashed apps like whatsapp a while ago. I never saw it personally but Tom Scott did a video on it last year. It might be a commentary on how understanding of the universe's moral arc could be considered untouchable/unobtainable. Blik (talk) 14:30, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

I took the black circle as a Black Hole - that changes the arc of everything in the Universe! John.Adriaan (talk) 02:14, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Hmm. It looks like UY got skipped. The study of the user's motivation and goals. Like UI and UX, it's a real thing. But that's really the job of concept or marketing.
