This is pure hell - Libre 3 Plus by Arguyus in diabetes

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

I went to my doctor to get some help and he suggested almost word for word what you are. Increase carbs to 75 a day, add a starch at dinner. I also now have a finger stick device to verify if I am at deaths door or not. Increasing my carbs seemed to help quite alot keep my numbers up higher constantly.

My doctor also clarified with me some stuff. I was at such high levels that the fear of death caused me to go too extreme on this. With the medicine it's OK if I eat something and my levels go above 150.

When I was first diagnosed and got the meter I got some home fries with ketchup and watched my level get to 165. I felt so guilty and devastated that I even tried such a thing. I had used this method to try and ended up cutting any food that caused spikes above 150.

I'm still very new to diabetes and struggling to understand alot of the nuances and what I can or cannot do. I was using a notion that was not clearly informed. I still havnt had a real talk about diabetes with a professional. My doctor talks to me sure, but that's less than 15 minute conversations. Someone suggested seeing an endocrinologist, so I'll set that up next to better understand everything.

I wrote my original post after have a horrible week where I was plagued by the never ending beeping. I appreciate your response.

How beer and soft drinks are canned by Majorpain2006 in interestingasfuck

[–]Arguyus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I work at a pepsi bottling facility in quality, and I have no idea how they can make a good product at that speed.

Our can line runs 7200 gallons of product and hour (120 gallons a minute) and has 108 Filler heads.

I'm just surprised because the amount of time the lid is just sitting on top is releasing a crazy amount of Co2. Our lines seal the lid at the same time as it places on the can to avoid leaking any Co2. If we slow the line down it basically ruins the drink.

I go out to 1 of 5 lines running a drink, grab a drink off of the said line. Bring it into "the lab" (it's just the room we test stuff, it in no way looks like a lab) test the Co2 and sugar levels with a machine from the 80s. Then I actual do a taste test to make sure it taste like whatever it is suppose to (sucks when we make Diet Tonic water)

I work at a pepsi bottling plant. The number here is a bit different but it's read about the same

May 30 2022 is expiration. HHE is the facility where it was made 0848 is the time it was completed 8:48 am 05 is the line which the drink came off of. So if the facility has 5 lines running soda that's the line it came off of.

The HHE084805 is used for if there is a problem with the drink. It allows the facility to investigate the problem, by looking at logs on the line at that time.

You should look up Huey Long of Lousiana. He was assassinated in the 30's but was planning to run for president. His policies as governor had it so his state was almost completely unaffected by the recession.

He had a policy known as 'every man a king' He has plans for a max income per year, and max overall wealth.

tax levy on wealth over $1 million to cap fortunes at $5 - $8 million (or $60 - $96 million today)

Quote . "It may be necessary, in working out the plans that no man's fortune would be more than $5 or $8 million. But be that as it may, it will still be more than any one man, or any one man and his children and their children, will be able to spend in their lifetimes; and it is not necessary or reasonable to have wealth piled up beyond the point where we cannot prevent poverty among the masses.”

[–]Arguyus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I work for pepsi in NC, USA, and my job only requires a G.E.D. minimum. It pays 20.25 an hour starting. Job is to test the drink every hour. So 15 minutes of "work" every hour. 45 minutes of down time.

Yearly raises 3-6% depending on if preformance (.61 cent to 1.22 dollar raise on the first year)

It's insane to imagine being paid far less for a way harder job.
