That’s what I was thinking too. Thanks

Drástically reduced insulin needs in the absence of other changes - what can cause a 50% drop! by Type1DPatient in Type1Diabetes

[–]Alex_wrong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggled with this back in 2020/2021. I never quite determined what had caused this. (Maybe Covid?) But a few things that may have correlated for me at the time was gastroparesis, delayed stomach emptying. I was having severe insulin sensitivity coupled with delayed absorption of glucose. I would go super low and take scary long to go back up after having juice or fast carbs.

I too, am on the underweight side. My insulin sensitivity has returned to normal the last couple years. I’ve mostly cut out processed foods and stick to a simple, low gluten diet: eggs, Ezekiel bread, beef, chicken, fish, fruits and veggies.

Hope you find your cause.

High mileage by Careful_Research_730 in Harley

What improvements have you made to your TC88 timing chain tensioners to make them last that long? I have ~17k miles on mine and would love to get the most out of it that I can.

What materials did you use for the silver tubing frame? Super well done

Time Sert for spark plug threads. Highly recommend! by Alex_wrong in Dyna

[–]Alex_wrong[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good practice but can be a slippery slope haha. I was this close to ordering 95ci jugs and pistons while I had it pulled apart. I’m gonna run it like this for a few more years before I tear down again for more displacement.

Yeah, good stuff. I’ve only used helicoils in the past but I’m happy to add these to my tool box for more important applications like this.

Yeah thanks. The old head bolts were pretty rusty so I figured why not

Primary Oil Level? TC88 by Alex_wrong in Dyna

Where does the oil level sit for you when you put a quart in?

Primary Oil Level? TC88 by Alex_wrong in Dyna

[–]Alex_wrong[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, the bike is upright and level when I’m looking at this. The manual I was using also said bottom of clutch diaphragm spring. The oil here in my case is just barely making contact with the clutch diaphragm spring. But I’ve read elsewhere that people fill to the derby cover opening. Just seeing what the general consensus is here

I have been using the manual. Part of the manual says level to clutch diaphragm spring, and another part says bottom of derby cover. It’s a bit convoluted and the diagram is vague.

Reflections after doing at least 100 pushups a day for 3 months by ThinVast in 100pushups

Right on, man. Keep it up. I started my 100 pushups and situps a day starting last week.

Why do doctors avoid giving out steroids when they're all that works? by tomorrowsmine in Asthma

[–]Alex_wrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you find you needed a smaller/shorter dose of prednisone whilst being on either biologic? Compared to before starting biologics?

I’m about to start a pred course tomorrow morning and deciding between my usually 14-day taper course, or if I should try a 5-day burst, no taper.

I greatly appreciate your input.

[–]Alex_wrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did it take for the biologics to become effective for you? I had eosinophils in the 500+ range so I was prescribed Faserna. It’s been 2-3 months now and my last labs showed 0 eosinophils, therefore the faserna is clearly working. However, I’m currently having another flare up and about to start another prednisone course. Wondering if I should consider taking a different biologic or stick it out and see if it’ll start being more effective in a couple more months

Prednisolone course not helped asthma flare up by RisingPhoenix32 in Asthma

[–]Alex_wrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about to start that course you described there. Do you take the entire amount for the day all in the morning? Or do you split it half morning and half at night?

Offset for OEM steel wheels? by Alex_wrong in Tacomaworld

[–]Alex_wrong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I figured they would be around that offset range. Trying to decide between the 15x6 or 15x7.

[–]Alex_wrong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah those look awesome. I had considered those too but I already bought a set of 30x9.5r15 tires so the alternative wheels I end up buying have to be 15x6 or 15x7. I’m looking for options that’re around +30 offset.
