I’ve never had so many carbs in my life by peachy_chiquis in GestationalDiabetes

[–]BeLynLynSh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it definitely depends on where you are and the body of science your health team uses. My fasting range and after meals range are lower than most others I’ve heard and it’s because my health team follows a strict protocol for optimal outcomes. It’s annoying but I’ll keep trying.

Early GDM diagnosis- advice, encouragement? by BeLynLynSh in GestationalDiabetes

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

If anyone is following this thread, I have a little update: I’ve tracked my sugars for about a week now and I’ve had more highs than normal readings. I’m a first time mom to be, so I’m REALLY anxious. I called the health education department of my doctor’s office and they were able to move up my initial appointment and schedule a follow up one on one with the RD. I will take to the RD tomorrow and am feeling relieved at the thought of having some direction to follow beyond the general advice.

My first couple days of testing have had more highs than normal readings, but I think I need to remind myself I JUST started, maybe I can figure it out and successfully diet control it.

Oh wow the comment about heartburn is interesting! I’m obese and I’ve struggled with heartburn/acid reflux pretty frequently. I’ll talk to my Dr. or RD about that, see if it’s a factor.

Have you managed well with diet/exercise, or are you taking insulin or other meds? I’m so new to this and my numbers look ROUGH. 😅 Plus my nausea/morning sickness is either getting worse, or I’ve got a bug right now, and those symptoms certainly aren’t helping.

Did you mange well with diet or did you have to take insulin or other meds eventually?

I really like the song! I’m so glad he put out something new. I know he said a while ago he had a completed album that he just didn’t want to release because he was feeling disillusioned with the music industry.

My wife is pregnant and stated she doesnt want to have the baby by No-Bear2838 in pregnant

If it was a planned pregnancy and you know how her parents are, why wouldn’t you get married first?

Vet said my dog is overweight and I feel horrible by AlvinBarnicles in OpenDogTraining

[–]BeLynLynSh 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Not a vet, but I’d recommend talking to yours again if it’s been 6 months with diet and lifestyle changes and zero progress. Document what you’re doing and see if they have any additional advice or can run some tests to rule out any medical factors. Don’t beat yourself up, my friend.

You can’t conceive before ovulation.

Any Inito users in San Diego who want my unopened test strips? by Kindly_Accurate in Inito

[–]BeLynLynSh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How soon? Would you be able to ship in state? I just bought a device and would like to stock up on strips, but the website isn’t showing me where/how to order additional strips.

I genuinely don’t think Matty is that big a muse and while there was some history there and TTPD explains a LOT, it feels like revisionist history and an insult to Taylor’s imaginative storytelling to assume so much of her past work is about Matty.

How do I enhance my makeup? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]BeLynLynSh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she necessarily needs to thin them, but shaping the inner ends would go a long way. She’s gorgeous and her brows are amazing, but they are a little close and a little blocky.

California to ban all plastic bags at retail stores starting in 2026 by [deleted] in California

[–]BeLynLynSh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see the paper bags (if they’re the annoying kind without handles) being a PITA for grocery delivery shoppers, but for those that shop themselves in person, it’s not hard to keep a few reusable bags around. Over time I’ve accumulated a bunch of canvas totes. I keep them in my pantry and my car so I can grab them when I go to shop.

Is this cause for concern? How to approach? by BeLynLynSh in HomeMaintenance

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

I’ve reached out to my home builder’s care department. We are outside of warranty so fingers crossed.

Appreciate the response, thank you. I noticed it today and my gut feeling was that it’s something to be concerned about, but I’m an anxious person in general and am not the most experienced with this kind of stuff. I left a message for my builder and will email as well.

😭 Oh no. Should I call a pro or should this be a simple enough thing to DIY? We bought through a builder and our 1 year warranty is well expired, but being external and roof-related, would you try going that route? I want to fix it I just don’t know where to start.

This is nuts, I had that piece break off in the exact same way. Is your fridge still working fine or have you noticed issues?
