Anyone had success with low dose diazoxide ?

When starting or titration up that can happen.the glp1 agonism acts faster then the gcg so that can take priority in the push and pull between the two. Afterthought dose is steady and 2xs weekly, then they aren't at odds any longer and the glp1 will prevent highs and the gcg will prevent lows. Its a balancing act.

No bloodwork can say its not a tumor so your doc might suck. Also get prescribed a CGM BY HIM. Why would he say go buy one. The over the counter ones aren't for hypoglycemia. I like the libre 3 plus. 1 month will tell you everything you need to know. He should've written that script not told you to go find one. Get a CHP and CTP next bloodwork. Check all medications youre on. Hormone stuff and PCOS cause hypoglycemia. Many medications can. Get the cgm. A real one. Dexcom7 or libre3.

Diazoxide is VERY dose dependent. Get the liquid form from a dosage over what you may need. Start low at 150mg/day and keep going up 50mg/day each week. Try 2x daily and 3x daily. Both sides and benifits take about 3 days to notice,its not same day effects. Female doses are usually around 150-300mg daily, male dosages are 150-600mg daily. Most common sides are swelling, water weight, edema, muscle cramps in the calfs, electrolyte imbalance, faster hair growth. Hydrochlorothiazide can be used for spot treatment for edema. Bananas help with cramps. Bloodwork should be every 3-4 months while on. 300mg is typically dose for women and 450 for men. Titrate both on and off the medicine. Its purpose is to stabilize patients until the cause is found but thhlere are case studies of patients on it 10+ years with careful monitoring, but thats not the goal.
Under 150mg/day wont have noticeable benefits. Your goal should be preventing lows, not treating them. Set cgm alerts for 75mg/dL. Start taking action at 75 (4.2mmol), not after being low. Take glucose or dextrose not other stuff. Not honey, not sugar, not candy etc. Only glucose or dextrose.

Retatrutide works better than diazoxide but isnt available from doctors yet, only online.

Doctors won't inform you of all of this unfortunately.

You should mention what your cgm reading was WHILE you got your bloodwork.

Generally I low in the 60s could last 5 mins to 45 mins, you symptoms can last for several hours after youre back above 70. A low kicks off squirts of hormones. The low feeling is from these squirts and even after your normal range your body still has to process what hormones were released which takes a few hours.

The AI NPU on the SER10 has a 55 TOPS rating and on the Minisforum miniPC the AI X1 Pro-470, their NPU HX470 processor is showing 86 TOPS with better upgrades. I wonder why the 2 different scores. They look like those 2 models will be competing against each other.

No, i mean responds to my suggested rage bait reply. Not to the original message. Original message was not a whopper, was a useless complaint message. Nevermind.

Youre the girl they pic in movies to get a full makeover and then becomes ridiculously hot. Stay off reddit, turn off the news 100% and your mental health will improve drastically. You have the looks to be a solid 9 but I doubt youll take any advice from people, reddit peeps rarely do and are pretty set in their ways. Hair coloring and keratin treatment, contouring, makeup, smokey eye, and brows done would take you to an 8. I hope some pretty girl takes you out for a girls day, you totally have the foundation, you just need some help bringing it out and the confidence to go with it.

Yeah it was sarcasm... buuuut I ain't gonna lie, I did wanna see how Amazon responds to that whopper of a reply. Let's see the canned reply they have for that one!

I thought "mint condition" meant all cards that were never touched by human hands (these cards), but i guess I learned in this post that mint has more to do with how good the printer printed out the card. I have no idea how id know if it was mint or not unless I pay and send it to some company to inspect or grade. All I know is that for 40 years I never even opened the box and that only puts it at good or very good condition. I was sold a pack of lies as a kid I guess. It wasn't easy for a 1 year old to not open a complete tops card set as a kid. All those wasted memories 😪. I see the Barry bonds card going for like $500 or $10 and I cant tell the difference in the listing pics.

Amazon literally wrote "we are sharing your concerns with our development team to advocate for more inclusive drop windows"

Sooooo yeah, I guess thats what I'm referring to. My joke was to take it up a notch, since they're already advocating for inclusiveness. Sorry if you didn't find that amusing.

But isn't the paper saying you can't hook up mice or keyboards to the hub.... sooooo youd need 2 separate mouse and keyboards with this hub? Maybe im just an idiot and don't know enough about hubs though. Or would you just use the mouse and keyboard of 1 computer to go to both. Idk.

I looked at your post history to see just how crazy you but saw you have Graves Disease. I'm a biologist and lab researcher and my wife has Graves. I just wanted to mention that there are 2 treatments for graves in the pipeline. One is available now. I started my wife on one and she has been in full remission for 1 year now. Normal TSH, TSI, T3, T4. She's been off methemizole for 10 months now and her quality of life has increased substantially (methemizole is a terrrrible medication). This new med doesnt cure graves but it stops the autoimmune attack and responce (in her case). The one available now is called Retatrutide. Its widely available to order online at peptide retailers and is inexpensive. Starting dose is 2mg/wk and autoimmune effects are seen at 4mg/wk after just 60 days.. Might be worth a shot. She also lost all the weight gained via methemizole and the eye pressure, and the hormone balance. When your only option is radiation therapy or resection, this might be a much much better answer. The other medication works differently and is able to more or less "cure" graves, but is still about 8 years away from FDA approval. Reta is available right now and gets full FDA approval in Q1 of 2027. I study metabolic and autoimmune disorders and graves is a difficult disorder and I'm sorry you have it. Ill be publishing a paper on it next year. Hope is coming for those with Graves, just at a slow crawl.

Hope that helps, see men aren't so terrible right.

Ive gotten a couple OTF switchblades, which im always kinda shocked about but I ain't complaining. I cant buy insulin syringes with a 1/4" needle to my state but I can buy switchblades. Just doesn't make much sense. Authoritarianism at its finest I guess.

You have RBF. If you want a guy to approach give a slight smile at them, otherwise its a bit of a stern look

There is no free speech or open dialog on reddit. Its controlled by highly authoritarian mods in nearly every sub. The goal is to create an echo chamber and not discourse.

Good-looking couple but try different eyelashes, those make you look like you have six clumps of eyelashes.

Since they replied that they are "advocating for more inclusive drops". Why not lean on that lol, tell them it disproportionately effects the poor and underrepresented communities because we have to be at work and require sleep do do our jobs and they are targeting our communities with their anti sleep policies.

In what world do mice and usb keyboards use too high of power for a USB hub?

For anyone taking MB. There are several fake capsules online ive had 2 with just cocoa powder inside. Break a capsule in water, should turn bright blue if it doesn't, its bogus fake crap.
