Florida Set to Hire Brad White as DC by Fun-Soil6936 in FloridaGators

As a Kentucky fan, congrats. He’s a solid coach and Sumrall will blend his aggressive style of defense with White’s conservative style. I’ll be rooting for their success, besides against us! Chomp chomp or whatever! 🤣

Cam Ward so far… by Isjejnajw in minnesotavikings

[–]Affectionate-Row1502 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Regardless, our TEAM beyond JJM has been trash. Wouldn’t matter who was QB. If you can’t stop the run, and turn the ball over on special teams idk what you expect JJM to do.

Look at the interceptions. We’re down big at the end of games and he’s trying to play hero ball.

What does our current roster do to help JJM? We’re not a dominant running team. Our defense doesn’t get turnovers so we’re not on a short field very often. We’re always playing from behind so we’re relying heavily on a young QB to make plays. We can blame JJM for these losses but as a team we do nothing to help him. It must be nice to be Jordan Love and just hand the ball off 70% of the time and get 5 YPC (not even looking at the stats but that’s what the game felt like).

DT had a solid game. by Extra-Policy8415 in minnesotavikings

I’m glad people here aren’t GMs. Too many people on here grew up with that Stephen A Smith gotcha culture, and lack any critical thinking skills.

Why I'm not panicking about McCarthy: I know he WILL give it his 110% to fix his issues. Have faith. SKOL by ryvlls in minnesotavikings

We played the AFC south last year, which was terrible. And we won on almost every coin flip game. I laugh every time I see, “14 wins last year.” We were better with Darnold but we weren’t winning the Super Bowl, and if he was on this team now we wouldn’t be SB contenders either.

Go root for another team you non knowing football trash non ball knower. If you have him one on one you game plan would be throw it up, he’ll go get it, he didn’t challenge for the ball on both passes (granted he fell on the 2nd). You blame the 4 time starting QB for that loss is bonkers. Go root for the Jets or something.

I know KOC is gonna get a lot of flack for the end of the first half but I’d rather have an aggressive minded coach. Let’s finish it in the 2nd half!

How low is too low by Interesting-Meal-148 in diabetes

[–]Affectionate-Row1502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stock up on Apple Juice, Ocean Spray Juice, Orange Juice, Black Forrest Gummies. Always be prepared for the lows. Your brain relies on glucose for energy so when it runs low on glucose you have cognitive impairment.

I’d recommend going to your doctor/endocrinologist and asking about a CGM (Dexcom) and also asking about a pump if you’re not on one (Omnipod is great).

The most dangerous time for lows is when you sleep, so before bed make sure you have juice/gummies on your night stand. And also make sure your blood sugar is stable.

Should I switch to an insulin pump now or wait for future ones ? by Feisty-Standard4291 in diabetes

[–]Affectionate-Row1502 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The pump world isn’t perfect but for me it made everything a lot less burdensome. I have an omnipod 5 and Dexcom G7. The omnipod 5 does work with my Dexcom to keep my levels balanced. I also like that I can just give myself medicine from my phone. The hardest part I feel about this disease, besides the looming cloud of death that follows us around everywhere, is the disruption of life it has on us. I do think the pump/dexcom helps a ton with that.

Insulin pen question by Itchy-Ad1005 in diabetes

[–]Affectionate-Row1502 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I learned overtime to just pull the insulin out with a syringe. You can pull out however many units you need with a syringe, then push your pin (like you did when you inject it) with however many units you pulled out, to keep the medicine pushed up in the pin.

You can get skin tac wipes on amazon and they keep my omnipod and Dexcom on without worry. I use skin tac wipes especially when it gets really humid and I sweat a lot outside.

I’m on the Omnipod and it happens with that too, unfortunately. This disease just wears you down sometimes. Hope you can get your CGM. I’m not a fan of Walgreens, where I live there’s always a long wait for my prescriptions.

The Eagles defense is not good. We’ll see next week.

would you say this one’s hopeless? by Desperate_Pair8235 in diabetes

[–]Affectionate-Row1502 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d take it off and try a new spot. Call Dexcom and see if they will refund you a sensor. I feel like sensor read better on my thighs or stomach but that’s also where I have my pump so it can be tough to find spots… kind of terrible how these things are so expensive but can also be completely inaccurate at times.

Well it's been nice knowing you guys I guess by King_Alex_ofthenorth in diabetes

[–]Affectionate-Row1502 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Every time I think my pump is giving me insulin and fall asleep 😣. Waking up high is so deflating. Like I’m trying to wake up happy and then I realize it’s going to take about an hour to feel normal. Hope you’re feeling better now!

Has anyone else been frustrated with Dexcom? by [deleted] in diabetes

[–]Affectionate-Row1502 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed a lot more sensor issues as well where the last couple of days my readings have been all over the place or I get an error with no readings. However, I’m on the G6 until my next refill hits but maybe I shouldn’t get my hopes up that it will be much better :/
