I can extract side effects

At seven o'clock in the morning, Zhao Juan was awakened by an alarm clock, and she immediately took out the blood glucose meter beside the bed.

With a light touch, the needle left a hidden hole in her finger.

In the next second, the display screen of the blood glucose meter flickered for a while, and a graph of blood sugar fluctuations appeared.

The horizontal axis is time, and the vertical axis is blood sugar level.

The blood sugar curve floats steadily in a safe range, forming a perfect curve.

Zhao Juan knew that this curve was very important to her.

Flying with a curve close to the ground will cause her to panic, tremble and even faint. Once the downward probe exceeds the threshold, the curve will turn from black to red, which is a warning that she is approaching the restricted area of ​​life.

And the continuous upward rush, like a roller coaster curve, is the worst. Not only does it need to be pulled back with insulin, but it may even lead to complications such as ketoacidosis in severe cases.

Only by doing her best to control the blood sugar curve in a safe zone can her life continue.

Otherwise, she will not only suffer from hypoglycemia, but also face the threat of complications.

will lose their jobs again.

Yes, this is not the first time she has lost her job because of her status as a diabetic.

It has been twelve years since the onset at the age of 15. Zhao Juan has long been used to controlling blood sugar with insulin every day, but she is still not used to the name "diabetes".

In addition to the pain caused by the disease, she was also deeply trapped in the difficulty of concealing her illness.

"Hidden sugar" is a choice she has to make, and it is also her current survival dilemma.

At the age of 18, when she took the college entrance examination, she experienced a severe beating by the society, and she had a deep understanding of the discrimination suffered by diabetics, and since then embarked on the road of hidden sugar.

At that time, she was admitted to a medical school in this province, but according to the admission regulations, diabetes is a serious endocrine disease, and the school may not admit her.

Although facing the college entrance examination, she skillfully avoided being found out about blood sugar problems.

The day before the physical examination, she didn't eat and didn't sleep much. She almost checked her blood sugar for a while to ensure that her blood sugar remained within the normal range. She stayed up until the morning before going for the physical examination and finally passed the examination.

However, because she left home to study, insulin needs to be stored in the refrigerator, and the university dormitory does not have such conditions. She reported to the school hospital, hoping to help refrigerate insulin, but was dismissed by the school.

She ran around asking for help, but to no avail, so she had to go home and repeat her studies for a year, was admitted by another college, and changed her major.

It was a pity for her not to continue her medical study, but she also found a good job after graduation, and her life continued like this.

Of course, she also used her own method to pass the company's medical examination and started a hidden sugar life in the dormitory.

In order not to let other people find out, she always wears loose trousers, puts the insulin pen inside, and takes the opportunity to go to the toilet to secretly inject.

This is very inconvenient, but insulin pens are relatively cheap, and only cost about 1,000 yuan a month.

Although insulin pumps are better and more convenient and can improve the quality of life, the price of tens of thousands is really unattainable.

There is no refrigerator in the dormitory, so she puts insulin in a thermos bottle. Although it is not as effective as a refrigerator, it can also ensure the activity of insulin.

Because of her illness, she cherishes job opportunities more and works harder than others.

But at a dinner party, she was drunk by her superiors, and she was so drunk that she passed out, and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment by her colleagues.

Although the nurse asked her if she had diabetes if her blood sugar was over 16, she panicked and denied it.

But inevitably, colleagues already knew the fact that she was diabetic.

The leader began to ask about her physical condition with concern, and by the end of the year, what she was most worried about happened.

The personnel asked her for an interview, and tried to persuade her to leave on the grounds of her illness. She didn't dare to resist, so she could only agree sadly.

She was terrified at the time, for fear that her illness would be widely known in the industry and it would be difficult to find a job in the future.

So, holding the company's resignation certificate, she obediently left.

Because it is very common for sugar lovers to be rejected or dismissed by the company, they not only have difficulty finding a job, but also worry about being fired by the company all the time.

This is why she had to hide sugar.

Sure enough, in the letter of commitment signed for the second job, there was a clause that people with serious diseases could not be hired.

Unfortunately, she failed to hide her success in her second job.

Although this time she gritted her teeth and spent a huge sum of money to buy an insulin pump, but when she was on a business trip, her insulin pump was discovered by her colleagues, who suspected that she had cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy.

Later, she changed several jobs one after another for the same reason.

One job didn't even pass the probationary period, because the boss is also a diabetic, but Type II, keenly aware that she is also a diabetes friend, fired her without saying a word.

In this regard, she is also very desperate, why young diabetic patients will be discriminated against, but middle-aged and elderly patients will not.

It was ridiculous. She felt that there must be something serious wrong with this society.

This is definitely not her problem, but the world is wrong.

Diabetes is not an infectious disease. As long as the sugar is controlled well, it will not affect the work in the office.

The only difference from ordinary people is that she has to measure blood sugar and inject insulin every day, which is the same as some people spend one to two hours a day on makeup, there is no difference.

Why are people being discriminated against like this?

Such doubts have been lingering in her mind for a long time, unable to dissipate.

In order to comfort herself, she had to regard this blood sugar curve as a dragon in her body.

The ups and downs of blood sugar mean that the dragon is flying or diving.

And she is a chosen master of How to Train Your Dragon.

Those restrictions and discrimination against people with diabetes are hidden in many places in life, from schools to businesses, everywhere.

In order to bypass them, she can only firmly grasp the blood sugar curve and become a master dragon master.

Only by taming the dragon so that it bows its head and ears, and is handy, can it be safely hidden and not show its feet.

Washing up, breakfast, insulin injections, and finishing all of them like a robot, Zhao Juan finally left the house at 7:30.

After an hour's long commute, I came to the company and started a hard-working day for the workers.

However, when her colleagues arrived one after another, she keenly noticed that the atmosphere seemed a bit heavy.

Not long after, the personnel called people into the office one by one.

A bolt from the blue turned out to be the company's performance plummeting, and the entire department was about to be laid off.

Zhao Juan immediately despaired.

Why is it me again, why is it so difficult to find a stable job?

Although he didn't reveal his identity as a diabetic this time, the entire department was gone, and it was no different from being exposed again.

After going through the resignation procedures, she got on the subway in a daze.

The carriage was empty, just like her mood at the moment.

She didn't even bother to think about the next step now.

Looking for another job? What should I do if I am discovered? What should I do if I am laid off?

what to do? what to do? So many 'what to do' stuffed her mind buzzing.

She was a little envious of her classmates who had a stable job in her hometown.

At this moment, the phone rang, and after a casual glance, the whole person was stunned.

"...The new oral insulin drug developed by Sanqing Group has entered the third phase of clinical trials. Please apply in the background. The number of places is limited, first come first served..."

"Insulin orally?" She was shocked and confused. She understood the word oral and insulin, but when they were put together, she couldn't understand it.

Is this oral meaning what she imagined?

Is the insulin the kind she is taking?

However, insulin has been available for more than a hundred years, and it has always been injected. How could it be taken orally?

Doesn't it mean that oral insulin is the problem of the century, and no one can solve it?

However, the words "Sanqing Group" instantly made her feel a little more possible.

She sat up straight suddenly, and all the depression was swept away immediately.

"I want to sign up!"

If she had a job, she might ignore such an opportunity because she couldn't ask for leave, but now she has been fired anyway, and she might as well try medicine if she is idle at home.

In this way, Zhao Juan successfully passed the drug test application and became a volunteer.

This Phase III clinical trial is no longer limited to Kunming City, and there is also a cooperative medical institution in her city.

So she came to the hospital the next day, signed the agreement in the endocrinology department, and checked in.

Soon, oral insulin began to show its power.

No need for injections, no need to stick an insulin pump on the stomach, as long as you take the medicine on time, you can completely stabilize your blood sugar.

There has never been a day when Zhao Juan felt that her life was so easy.

"Finally I can look like a normal patient." She sighed sincerely.

She doesn't even dare to hope to live like a normal person, sugar control has already penetrated into the bone marrow.

As long as you can take medicine like a normal patient, you are fine.

During the two weeks of getting along, she also met many masters of how to train dragons like herself.

One of them, Li Xin, was a master of masters, and instantly opened the door to a new world for her.

Li Xin is a volunteer from other provinces, but his identity is actually a teacher.

As soon as these words were said, everyone was instantly excited.

We all know that people with diabetes are widely discriminated against in employment, and even ordinary enterprises have to close their doors, let alone this kind of public iron rice bowl.

"Brother Li, how did you pass the physical examination?" Someone couldn't help asking right away.

Zhao Juan also nodded, with an eager look on her face.

Li Xin is in his early thirties, with a thin body and looks very stable and gentle.

He smiled, didn't hide it, and said directly.

"I've always been more self-disciplined and like to exercise. I usually pay attention to sugar control. It stands to reason that I just need to be hungry all night before the physical examination."

"However, to be on the safe side, I still took an injection of insulin in advance."

"Isn't this fake?" A discordant voice suddenly appeared from the crowd.

Everyone looked over in unison, and someone sneered and said, "Only with fair competition can there be fakes or not, otherwise it's just a matter of ability."

Immediately, someone voiced support: "That's right, I'm discriminated against every day, and I can't find a job. You tell me it's fair? Tell me it's fake? Bah!"

The man fell silent for a moment.

Li Xin waved his hand and said with a smile, "We're all from our own family, we're all sugar friends. We should all be united. In fact, to be honest, our physical examination is very strict. Not only blood sugar testing, but also urine testing."

At that moment, someone exclaimed: "Brother Li, how did you pass?"

Li Xin smiled lightly: "I prepared in advance and took my family's urine for testing, so I passed without any risk."

This is a road that no one has imagined, and everyone is silent at the moment.

After a while, someone praised: "Brother Li is awesome, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Li Xin looked indifferent: "It doesn't matter, I have passed the probationary period, and if I am found out later, just say that I found out that I was sick after joining the company."

Speaking of this, there was a trace of disdain on his face: "Which of the older leaders in our school does not have diabetes and high blood pressure. Their sugar control is not as good as mine. No, they still stay well, and there is nothing wrong with them."

"A buddy said that it's fair or not. Do you think it's fair? Diabetes at the age of 40, even if it can't be cured, you can take insulin every day like us, and you can still work until you retire."

"As for us, if we have diabetes at the age of 20, we are not eligible to apply for the exam, and we have to use the physical examination to pass the exam."

"If I didn't get sick after I was admitted to graduate school, I wouldn't even be admitted to graduate school."

"So," he raised a middle finger: "Do you deserve the word fair? Do I deserve it? Do you deserve it?"

"Hahaha~" Everyone burst into laughter immediately: "A match for a ball!"

Although Zhao Juan didn't laugh along with her, her tense heartstrings relaxed inexplicably, and the corners of her mouth raised upwards uncontrollably.

She sighed sincerely in her heart: "This is the real master of how to train your dragon."

At the same time, a thought that had never been thought of, sprung up uncontrollably like mushrooms after rain.

"Maybe, I can also try to take the public examination like Brother Li?"

"In this way, as long as you pass it once and hide it during the probation period, you will never be afraid of being fired again."

"My ability is not inferior to others, and I work very hard. There is no reason why I can't."

The thought made her heart skip a beat.

If she had doubts before, she felt that the insulin pump was difficult to hide and would be discovered by her colleagues sooner or later, but it is different now.

As long as oral insulin is on the market, she can completely abandon the easily exposed insulin pump and live like a normal person.

Taking pills every day is nothing, she can be said to be supplementing vitamins, no matter how much she takes, it will not arouse any suspicion.

In this way, if she learns Li Xin's methods again, she can definitely fight while she is young.

Even if it fails, there will be no consequences.

The worst result is nothing more than continuing to work in enterprises like now.

Thinking of this, she lifted her spirits, as if she had found a new way out, and she was full of hope for life.

She looked around and found that many people were showing thoughtful expressions at the moment, and some people's eyes were even faintly shining with excitement.

It seems that everyone is dissatisfied with this harsh environment where discrimination is everywhere, and has thought of a new way out.

"It depends on when this oral insulin will be launched, and I hope everything goes well."

Zhao Juan's heart became firm again, and she planned to go all out to the end of the universe after completing the clinical trial, striving to get ashore as soon as possible. Fortunately, in the past few years of working, I usually live frugally and save a fortune.

She lives in a relatively remote place, and the cost of living is very low, which should be able to support her to realize this dream.

This gathering of masters of how to train dragons has given birth to some unexpected developments, which can be regarded as unpredictable.

However, with the progress of clinical trials, more and more people have experienced the benefits of oral insulin.

The reputation of Sanqing's new drug exploded instantly on the Internet.
