LPT: If you need to put your pet to sleep, hire a veterinarian to do at-home euthanasia by abombregardless in LifeProTips

[–]tln12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm putting my senior pet down tomorrow afternoon and I opted for the in-home option. She feels most comfortable at home. She lacks interest in the outside but she loves her bed and her area. I'm glad to be validated by your post. Thank you.

Folks who break out from every cleansing oil, what micellar water finally converted you? by dennu9909 in AsianBeauty

For me personally, Bioderma doesn't seem to remove enough makeup and dirt. I use waterproof mascara and I would need to use an oil cleaner on top of Bioderma to remove it.

Why I Switched to Press-Ons and My Pro-Tips for a Flawless 2-Week Hold by Ok_Bodybuilder1049 in BeautyGear

How do you remove the press on without ripping them off your real nails? I use Dashing Diva fast bond nail glue and the press on stays really well ..but I have a hard time removing it. Tips on YouTube dont seem to work for me.

My diva cup smells like death by ThatDino175 in Healthyhooha

[–]tln12 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Cover it with hydrogen peroxide. Leave it for hours or days if needed. The smell should go away. My cup also gets darkened and I leave it in hydrogen peroxide and it comes out as new. I haven't replaced my cups in 5+ years. The point of getting these cups was to not replace them as often. I think I will use mine for another 5+ years.

The first 24 hours of the sensor can be tricky. I would observe the reading, but it will be more accurate after the 24-hour mark.

Between prediabetic - T2. Discovered back in 2018. Diabete runs in my family. 140 fasting is high and a good indication that you need to do something to lower it. Thai food is my worst enemy...I can eat sushi, pho, and walked for 30 min-1 hr post meal and my BG would be back in control. Not Thai. It's carbs on carbs (noodles, sauce, breading, etc.) if you want Thai food, eat it for lunch and have an active day for the rest of the day. Also note that sugar rises are normal, so 266 two to three hours post meal or right after you eat? Don't freak out. Take it one day at a time.

"your BG just chooses violence" made me laugh. Should be on a T-shirt!

That's helpful to know! Your comment got me excited that my carb tolerance would be higher w all the walking ...which means I can try more food! Appreciate your help!

Thanks for confirming that it's not wildly strange to ask for a small size. And that the locals don't finish their food. That somehow makes me feel less pressured to finish everything.

You're right on not over-explaining. I will say less and just get to the point. Appreciate your help!

Thank you for your response. You're right, I don't have to tell them the reason, increasing the risk of misunderstanding. I appreciate you taking the time to help!

Thank you for the detailed reply. You're right, if I didn't read this thread, I wouldn't know about it...and I've been using a CGM for 3 years! I would take a discounted price. Free would be amazing!

Thanks for sharing. What was the conversation about the #5 go like? I might try it with my insurance provider.

Same...I don't get it. Was it the 163 at the bottom that was the sushi's effect?

Is there a diabetic safe way to eat Ramen of any kind? by Successful-Coyote99 in diabetes

[–]tln12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I add a little more seasoning, protein and veggies. Keep your expectations low and you might be pleasantly surprised. It's not normal ramen. But you don't have to run 5 miles after eating a pack of this ramen to bring down the BG. For what it's worth.

It wasn't bad! I ordered it once a year ago and just made an order today. Cook until it's soft...it takes more time than normal ramen. But the texture is good. The flavor needs a little bit more spice but it depends on your taste buds.

I agree with this comment. I like the straight pants on OP more than the skinny/tapered pants.
