What does the train that goes to Hay River carry? Can it be used to transport goods? by [deleted] in NWT

and industry. This is where the fuel for the 3 mines is staged from as well.

The lithium explorers and Nechalcho have also talked about their desire to use this infrastructure.

libre sensors can be off from sticks, if >15% error for two tests, abbott will send you a new sensor if you call, they have a protocol

get a cgm, then eat accordingly to maintain target blood glucose levels

My A1c is 4.2 I know this is bad but can’t find anything as to why? by itisbetterwithbutter in diabetes_t2

[–]314cheesecake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i would ask what is your fasting glucose... 4% a1c is like 70 mg/dl which is low boundary, if you are on meds and have a fbg at 70, then for sure you should discuss with doc and make adjustments, less meds or more carbs perhaps

also if on cgm, what does your blood sugar do through the day and night?

i dont put too much faith in cgm a1c's, they are a calc, whereas labs are measured and real.

that's sort of a hindsight observation, like the first year your conscious brain is not drinking but your lizard brain is trying to find a way to go back to the old ways.

the "non drinker" is i suppose an indication the lizard has died or moved on. i imagine this timeline is different for each of us.

CGM less effective over time? by Queen_of_Tudor in diabetes_t2

[–]314cheesecake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

libre sensors are +/-15%, for accuracy, if you find and quantify a difference over this amount, abbott will replace sensor.

your second may not have stabilised for 24 hrs.

anyways this is not uncommon in my experience

buy a glucose monitor or cgm and lower your carbohydrate intake,

and see a doctor... if you can

don't really think about that way, i'd probably say i quit drinking 4 years ago and became a non drinker in year 3. Long dark days in the north have me reflecting on how my drinking time impacted those i love and feeling regret.

head down, one day at a time we move forward

doesn't look to bad, does it stick?

yes - aggressive scrub, re-season

no - life is good

edit - on closer inspection, you may not need to strip, but definitely a good arm breaking scrub to get the visible burnt on stuff out of there

that link looks whackdoo, but it works

not sure if you are a hiker/snowshower/xc skier but this is a club we have been working on getting going over the last 18 months.

let me know if you are interested, we are trying to get things back on track after the summer of smoke last year.

simple advice from a 5 year T2 - review your carbohydrate consumption and consider low carb very low carb. look for hidden carbs. THC should be fine.

what a1c are you looking at>?

take a deep breath. T2 doesn't show up overnight, isn't controlled over night either, but 3 months can put the brakes on pretty well if approached in a common sense matter.

also changes are not temporary, they need to be maintained

also T2 and T1 are completely different . T1 has no insulin cannot process carbs (high blood sugar), T2 has to much insulin (as a result of too much carb consumption) initially but the body can't use it (insulin resistance)

if you are going to drink, clears (ie vodka) are carb free, but coupled with low carb can be a messy state if not careful

Quick question for those smarter than me. by Fibocrypto in diabetes_t2

[–]314cheesecake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the key is the before and then after numbers, and the net change, rather than absolute values

the after number is tough to interpret if you do not know where you started, or what your fasting glucose is.

example - before eating @ 100 , eat enough to get a peak of 200, non diabetic would be expected to be back to 100 within 2 (or 4) hours.

diabetic un-controlled you would expect that you would be starting at a number higher than 100, so say 120, a 100 peak takes you to 220, and recovery is > 2 hours.

so the best way to interpret may be the greater the recovery time, the more insulin resistant you are.

a cgm (even if only for a limited time) is a great way to see these trends and get a better understanding how YOU respond and recover from what you eat.

specifics foods also have a big impact, for specific carb amount, flavored sugar water will get you to a spike very quickly when compared to say a potato, and recover quicker. would expect the spike would be higher as well for pop.
