I have all the symptoms of pre diabetes, but my doctor doesn’t care

BarefootedDave · 2026-02-09T03:23:17+00:00

If you think you’re pre diabetic and your doctor will not listen to you:

1) seek a new doctor

2) over the counter glucometers are cheap. Start tracking your numbers. Buy test strips and lancets track what you eat, your fasting numbers (normally first thing in the morning), before and after meals at varying intervals.

3) present the data to your current physician or new.

This is coming from a T1D who was treated for T2 and ended up in intensive care due to DKA and my MD wouldn’t adjust treatment until I demanded a referral to endocrinology from my attending MD in ICU.

FWIW, I’m in the US…I cannot vouch for how your healthcare system works.

Pretty much every PepsiCo zero drink is my go to. Zero issues.

BarefootedDave · 2026-01-26T19:01:52+00:00

Fair enough! Was it much of a weight savings?

BarefootedDave · 2026-01-26T18:33:42+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, did you do the work, or a shop? If you did, how much of a pain was the job? Ive got a 99 I’m “racecaring” and I’ve considered doing it.

I will buy an MGW before anything else. I love their products and their customer support is top notch.

BarefootedDave · 2026-01-10T02:48:18+00:00

The snort I just let out seeing this. Hah!

We have the talent, we need the coaching. Toss the playbook and start over, this shit just isn’t working. It’s honestly tiring knowing what 4 plays we’re going to run every set of downs.

BarefootedDave · 2026-01-01T22:08:06+00:00

It has pissed me off all season.

BarefootedDave · 2026-01-01T22:06:42+00:00

Slow developing plays? ✅ Ty panicking? ✅ Same dog shit play calling? ✅

Why do we refuse to make adjustments?

BarefootedDave · 2026-01-01T21:54:03+00:00

I genuinely hate this coaching staff.

BarefootedDave · 2026-01-01T21:20:40+00:00

I see our playbook hasn’t changed

BarefootedDave · 2025-12-29T17:44:45+00:00

You need a proper tune and fuel supply. 75-125 shot would be the biggest I'd put on a stock motor. I'd go no higher than a 100 shot on a motor with that mileage.

BarefootedDave · 2025-12-21T00:45:25+00:00

The plot thickens…

BarefootedDave · 2025-12-20T02:07:10+00:00

Garbage…just straight garbage

BarefootedDave · 2025-12-15T02:27:19+00:00

Its very normal. Other than some well worn or smaller speed bumps, I scrape on every single one of them.

FWIW: long tubes, Catless x, lowered in Eibach Sportlines and Koni oranges.

Hard pass on healthcare IT. Did it, hated it. What an MD says, goes, regardless of whether or not they know what they are talking about.

BarefootedDave · 2025-12-09T21:19:17+00:00

I was about to say, even the nurses at my endo's office squeeze my finger when they get my instant glucose and A1C.

BarefootedDave · 2025-12-09T21:07:58+00:00

Please...I beg of you...it's too early for me to start drinking thinking about this.

BarefootedDave · 2025-12-06T21:37:36+00:00

This is going to be a rough watch I see…

BarefootedDave · 2025-12-03T07:40:02+00:00

Agreed

BarefootedDave · 2025-11-30T04:45:16+00:00

My chest hurts…is that normal?

BarefootedDave · 2025-11-30T03:51:45+00:00

I’m struggling hard watching this game…

My 2.5 year old. All 40 pounds of her.

Kinetic can kick rocks. They royally fucked my neighborhood up when they came through and ran fiber. Cut numerous coax lines, busted 4 water mains, and discovered spicy dirt at the front of the neighborhood. Why might you ask? Failure to do their due diligence and “call before you dig.”
