Please follow the doctor's advice

The food enters the digestive tract after being chewed and ground by the teeth, and is decomposed into simple compounds that can be absorbed by the intestinal wall under the action of various digestive juices secreted by the digestive glands-sugars are decomposed into simple sugars, proteins are decomposed into amino acids, fats are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids.

For others, after these small molecular compounds enter the blood of the human body, they will resynthesize the glycogen that the body can use, the fat that can store energy, and the protein that constitutes human tissue, and a human being will start a day full of vitality; but for For Xu Yiren, who is extremely deficient in insulin, it is difficult for monosaccharides to continue to enter the blood, and even free fatty acids and amino acids have to slow down the pace of entering cells.

Judging from his current condition, it is impossible to gain weight back without injecting insulin, no matter how much he eats.Moreover, the food eaten is not only difficult to store in the body, but may also cause blood sugar to rise and even ketoacidosis.

but……

Xu Yiren held the plate in the middle of the night and rang the call bell again.

Elvis hummed a song and came over quickly: "Mr. Xu, what can I do for you?"

"Did you forget something?" Xu Yiren slightly handed the plate in his direction, "Did your Chinese chef make this?"

Elvis turned a corner and said "Ah": "You found out, in fact, I made this for you. How are you, my little friends of rapeseed, spinach, and celery?"

Xu Yiren: "..."

According to the law of energy conservation, the energy that a person can store cannot exceed the difference between the energy he consumes and the energy he consumes. Now these boiled green vegetables, let alone him, are even half-grown men with healthy pancreatic beta cells , It is difficult to grow a few taels of meat after eating.

"The food is too bad, I can't eat these all the time." Xu Yiren unhurriedly put the fork back on the plate, and put it on the bedside table as if disgusted, "Can I eat something else? For example Carbohydrate or protein food?"

"NO, it's not a cost issue, it's a matter of principle." Elvis immediately rejected his request, "Those, as well as oil and salt, are for you food that can only be added quantitatively according to the doctor's order. Today your The ration has been exhausted, and your indicators are currently normal. I cannot increase your dosage without authorization. You must know that you are not only a patient here, but also an object of our observation, and my duty is to ensure that you live according to the doctor's advice. and treatment until you are fully cured and back to health."

As soon as Xu Yiren heard his tone of vowing to cure the world's problems, he lost interest in the conversation: "...Thank you for your explanation."

Elvis: "Do I need to take these dishes away? If you don't like them."

"..." Xu Yiren's life has been too idle for the past two months, and now he is suddenly about to enter a state of fighting wits and courage. He can't help but rack his brains and pretend to be calm on the surface.

"Have you ever considered that I may have another hypoglycemic convulsion? Like just now? Maybe I will suffer from cerebral hypoxia? I will pass out before I can press the call bell? I may even fall down in some places, resulting in shortness of breath and suffocation to death? "

"No." Elvis took Xu Yiren's hand and patted his wrist lightly, "Before you feel uncomfortable, your bracelet will detect an abnormality first, and then it will send out a reminder. I There are linkage alarms in the rest room and nursing duty room. My colleagues and I will arrive at the first time before you fall down. You will not be in any danger. And didn’t Dr. Li just say that it’s just Normal adverse reaction."

"...Oh." Xu Yiren said coldly, "Is that so? Then I can rest assured. Let's put the plate here first. Good night, Elvis."

Elvis hummed a song and changed him to a glass of warm water, checked the indications on the wristband and said good night.

According to Li Chaoyue, in theory...Xu Yiren really doesn't want to call it a theory, let's call it an idea for now-the "marker" on this bracelet is marking the glucose in his blood one by one, Only when these labeled glucose is transported into the cell, synthesized glycogen or consumed, will it produce a reward mechanism for the islets.Therefore, in order to ensure that the meager amount of insulin can fully combine with this part of the monosaccharide, they do not want Xu Yiren to consume too much extra sugar before the "marker" is completely marked.

Although this idea seems very simple, Xu Yiren does not believe that someone can control the cells and islets one by one, making them as obedient as a circus seal—or, in this matter, Xu Yiren only believes in his own eyes and The previous knowledge system, not the introduction of hype.

"As long as you say it, I will believe it."

Thinking of this, Li Chaoyue's voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Since the emergence of single-celled organisms 40 billion years ago, until now, the human body has undergone countless evolutions and improvements. It is the most amazing thing on earth. I believe that there must be diseases that we cannot treat now that can be repaired by the human body itself. , the immune system heals on its own..."

That year, that young figure, a big boy with his sportswear always clean, stood up in the auditorium of Mujin Building to answer Professor Xu's questions, from a little shy to eloquent.The tall figure intercepted the light cast by the energy-saving lamps on the ceiling, leaving half of the shadow on Xu Yiren's textbooks.

"What we have to do is not to think about how to target the virus, but to stimulate the human body's own potential. Just like on the basketball court, the coach formulates strategies, and the players rely on their own skills and the cooperation of teammates to win the game..."

Since then, Xu Yiren's whole life has also been sailing against the current in this kind of half-brightness - when the light is bright, he keeps motivating himself to move forward, and when it is dim... it is the youthful memory of him covering his textbooks and immersing himself in it. The feeling of being in that shadow.

"Since there are viruses that can destroy in a targeted manner, there must be some way to induce them in a targeted manner... So I used this metaphor of 'passing and cutting tactics' to control the influencing factors, and the rest will be unimpeded."

Time has passed and the environment has changed, but when Li Chaoyue talks about these things now, he is still as high-spirited as before, and has not changed at all, which is great.

What changed was Xu Yiren himself.

At the entrance ceremony, they made an oath that everyone present will be each other's arms and backing in their future life and work.And he, not to mention becoming Li Chaoyue's backing, he didn't even become Li Chaoyue's arm for even a moment-now, he has become an uncertain factor that could endanger his future at any time.

Xu Yiren sighed wearily in his heart that the world is unpredictable.

He didn't want to get involved in this, he didn't want to get involved in that, and in the end he chose the path he chose out of thousands of ways, but it happened to get involved in the one he was least willing to be involved in.

Blind life is like a gamble, what cards are dealt to you depends on the mood of the croupier besides luck—his current number one croupier is probably Elvis.

The taste of green leafy vegetables blanched in clear water is even more difficult to swallow after cooling down. Human beings have stood at the top of the food chain for a long time. It is really difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Xu Yiren really hopes that he and Elvis will never get along. So that he doesn't have to eat while wondering whether Elvis has washed the vegetables before cooking them, and whether the cooking pots have been brushed.

Snakes, frogs, bears and other animals know to hibernate to reduce energy consumption, how can Xu Yiren stay up in the middle of the night and think wildly - after all, thinking also consumes energy.

Muscle tension and relaxation, turning over in bed, mood swings cause blood flow changes, and even neurons to transmit information consume glycogen.Energy expenditure is everywhere, the more he doesn't sleep, the more he will consume, the thinner he will be when he is weighed, and the closer he is to showing his feet.

Fortunately, the meals provided are relatively normal food.

In the morning, Xu Yiren sat at the dining table in the room and asked after eating the breakfast on the plate: "Elvis, can you please help me get another breakfast?"

Elvis said awkwardly: "Breakfast is also rationed..."

Xu Yiren had been prepared for a long time, and discussed it with a pleasant face: "It's so cold, shouldn't we eat more?"

Elvis took the tableware in his hand: "This is already the amount that your body needs to consume in winter. Are you feeling uncomfortable? I have been looking for something to eat since last night. I can take you there again. Go for a physical examination and ask the doctor to..."

Xu Yiren: "Don't eat."

If you can’t open source, you can only save money, reduce energy consumption, and strive for more bases for body accumulation.Xu Yiren leaned on the crutches and moved to the bed, ready to lie down.

"Oh no! You can't lie down!" Elvis exclaimed after returning from cleaning, and raised Xu Yiren up involuntarily, "Your blood sugar is rising sharply after a meal, the only thing you can do for yourself right now What the body does is to exercise in moderation, it’s fine to walk around the room slowly, or I can teach you simple and interesting aerobics.”

Xu Yiren knew in his heart that what Elvis said was right, but on the one hand was his crumbling body, and on the other was——

"Good morning, how do you feel?" A person pushed the door open, and Xu Yiren's thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice, "Uh...you guys are..."

"Everything about him is normal, but his living habits are not very good." Elvis persistently lifted Xu Yiren off the bed, "I wanted to lie on the bed after dinner, but I caught him."

"Oh, this is really not good." Li Chaoyue's tone was just right for alienation and kindness, "Hello, Mr. Xu, welcome to join our 'Cell Transformation Program', I am your person in charge, Li Chaoyue. Next I will introduce it to you in detail..."

"Please wait first," Xu Yiren interrupted abruptly and coldly after standing firmly, "I seem to have heard yesterday that my person in charge is not this one."

Li Chaoyue was stunned for a moment, and then eased: "Yes...it was originally Dr. Sherrill, but I think it is easier for us to communicate, so I submitted the application."

Xu Yiren: "May I ask how many patients you are in charge of, and how many patients is that Dr. Sherrill in charge of?"

Li Chaoyue: "At present, I am in charge of three, and Cheryl is in charge of two."

"Adding my words, you have already taken care of too many patients." Xu Yiren signaled Elvis to let go, and stood facing the door alone, leaning on crutches, trying to stand upright, "Considering the issue of time and energy, I think it would be better for the original doctor to take charge of me."

What is Li Chaoyue thinking?If the patients assigned to other persons in charge are all random, wouldn't it be easier for people to discover the clues if he voluntarily applied to be transferred to his own ward, and he already had more patients than others? ?

Xu Yiren continued: "There is a saying that 'foreign monks can chant sutras'. I think that Dr. Cheryl must be very good."

The two of them come from the same city, are of the same age, and even graduated from the same school. As long as the people here do a little research, they can find out their relationship, and it is not difficult to draw a conclusion after further deliberation.Does Li Chaoyue want to play "Black Under the Light"?Isn't this too much to treat others as fools?

In the ward, the three fell into their own silence.

Elvis said awkwardly, "Well, actually..."

"It's okay, I respect the wishes of the volunteers themselves." Li Chaoyue smiled and closed the medical course folder in his hand, "It's a pity, I bet with Cheryl just now whose patient will recover faster. Well, I Go ask him to come over."
