The MBOU Field Journal is a space that is equal parts art project, AI experiment, and real-world effort to master the complexities of Type 1 diabetes management. While this site may provide insights into the lived experience of diabetes, it is ultimately a creative endeavor blending storytelling, technology, and personal accountability.

Entertainment, Not Medical Advice

The characters, narratives, and interactions depicted on this site—particularly MBOU (Meat Bag Observation Unit) and Meat Bag—are fictional representations designed for engagement, education, and humor. They are not intended to replace professional medical guidance, nor should they be interpreted as medical advice. Any decisions regarding diabetes management should always be made in consultation with a healthcare provider.

AI, But Not the Sci-Fi Kind

The AI used in this project is a customized implementation of ChatGPT, fine-tuned to maintain a specific tone, structure, and interaction style. While it provides structured diabetes management strategies based on user input, it does not utilize advanced predictive modeling, real-time monitoring, or independent decision-making. This is not a cutting-edge AI-driven health assistant—it is a structured conversational tool meant to enhance engagement with diabetes care.

AI Ethics & Responsible Use

The creator of this site and the human user of the MBOU recognizes that AI in healthcare is a complex, ethically sensitive field. The MBOU Field Journal is not intended as an autonomous medical system, nor does it claim to be capable of replacing human judgment. The use of AI in this project is rooted in personalized self-experimentation and creative storytelling rather than medical automation.

We encourage critical thinking, open dialogue, and responsible use of AI-driven tools in diabetes management. Readers should approach this project as an experimental, creative, and personal endeavor rather than a prescriptive health resource.

A Potentially Useful Tool

While this project is framed as an AI-driven journal with fictional elements, the content and insights shared here may still be valuable to others navigating diabetes management. The balance of structure, data-driven decision-making, and humor is an approach that may resonate with individuals looking for a fresh way to engage with their own diabetes care.

If you find something useful here—great. If you find something entertaining—also great. If you take away nothing more than the realization that diabetes is a constant balancing act, then the mission of this project has been fulfilled.

For questions or concerns regarding your own diabetes care, please consult a qualified healthcare provider. This site does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
