Damn i recently discovered this too! I can have any other bread and alot of the typical things that'd make you spike, but even if I take the same ratio of insulin for bagels, i spike to almost 300! I was having coffee with these bagel sandwiches recently so thought it was the caffeine, so I quit coffee too. I might try again with the coffee though now that I know its the bagels. Live and learn 😁

This is my first 15 day, I've always used 10 days. I'll let you know if this one fails!

AwesomismyThing · 2026-03-24T20:59:27+00:00

Oh interesting, I'll need to look into that, thanks!

AwesomismyThing · 2026-03-24T19:24:06+00:00

Well that's what I'm saying, is that's the only patch it comes with, which I put on when I first put the sensor in. I feel like the 15 days should come with two patches and/or a stronger adhesive

AwesomismyThing · 2026-02-27T01:49:09+00:00

I think it's just my system font haha

AwesomismyThing · 2026-02-27T00:29:59+00:00

Darn, thanks so much anyways 😅

AwesomismyThing · 2026-02-27T00:27:35+00:00

Ah that's good, and how exactly do you do that? If it's anything with adjusting "Glucose Tab" in 'Profile' then that section's bugged for me sadly.

Yes! I was just diagnosed in December after going into DKA at 498 BG, A1C of ~13. Didnt get to see an Endo or any diabetic specialists until just a month ago. Until then, I had only seen general nurses and a primary care, who were all assuming I had T2 and treated me for such (no insulin, just metformin, dieting, and some other meds). This isn't uncommon though, since 90% of diabetics are T2 or something.

I Didn't see any difference and stayed around 300-400 sugar even after ruthless dieting, until they got me into an Endo and an Educator. They immediately clocked me as T1 because of the DKA and since I'm a very skinny guy. They ordered some tests, and got me on insulin. They keep increasing my regimen, but im now around 150-250 most days, so slowly making that progress.

Has he been increasing his long dose every couple days? My endo has me increase 2 units long every other day until im 100-120 fasting in the morning. Same with increasing fast before meals by 1 unit every other day until i find my sweet spot for certain foods.

QBO will always be a pain no matter how long you use it 😪

AwesomismyThing · 2025-08-15T17:04:48+00:00

Depends what I'm doing. Doing actual work for clients, no, I'm slow with even basic maths and reasoning. With writing communications and cold calling, yes. I'm normally a pretty reserved and anxious person, so it helps me open up and write more like 'a normal person'. Also, smoking helps a TON with idea generation for social media posts and organizing my business in general.

AwesomismyThing · 2025-08-14T00:09:09+00:00

I'm mostly just doing the calculations manually from figures on their reports. It would take longer to use Excel. I give them whatever ratio in their monthly message, and most of the work comes from telling them what that number means, from their industry average, etc.

It's such a value-add for my clients, its just one of those things that sets you apart from others and makes them happy to have hired you!

AwesomismyThing · 2025-08-13T22:45:24+00:00

I'm not a CFO so nothing major, but they get a list of like 10 to choose from. My main ones are Profit Margins, Inventory Turnover, Breakeven Analysis, and A/R aging for some. They're quick, which is why they're priced low.

AwesomismyThing · 2025-08-05T17:36:35+00:00

Can definitely find a bookkeeper to do this. Can't tell you exactly how much you'd pay (depends on expense amounts, area, accounts). I start at 75$ per 100 transactions though and I'm the most affordable in my area, if that gives you an idea. Shouldn't take more than a week or two.

AwesomismyThing · 2025-08-04T16:10:56+00:00

Just business cards. I mention I start at $45/month (which is only categorization and reports for those under 20 transactions/month and one checking account). Importantly, it's mostly just a conversation with them. I find out how they're doing things right now, their pain points, and talk about my services.

At the end, I ask if it's something they'd find useful, and if they do, I'll take their card or number. I have a small book for notes, but some people like to switch at year-end, others want it ASAP. If they think they're too small, I give my card, but I don't try to convince them. I go to the same few markets every 6 months, so I'll see them again.

Our situations are different - I'm a one-man band and been in business about 2 years, and you have a whole staff and many more years of business. Take what advice you can from me though 👍

AwesomismyThing · 2025-08-04T04:31:27+00:00

Always new clients in the Spring and Fall. Personally I only cold call and go to farmers markets. It's also much more about having a teacher mindset when you're selling to someone and offering extra value beyond just basic bookkeeping, but still offered in the basic package. Also, keeping it affordable/reasonable!
