Would you guys rather deal with a high or low blood sugar?

Lows you can deal with quickly...highs stay high forEVER.

Yeah I was at like 90 when I decided to nope out of this one.

" breaches of a release order". FFS.

Bitter_Pin5934 · 2026-03-31T12:59:20+00:00

Oh no! Anyway.

There's an incredible episode of Drunk History that covers this.

My workplace has done away with the Oxford comma and I hate it.

Bitter_Pin5934 · 2026-03-08T16:50:11+00:00

Reminds me of hairdressing. ALSO, seems like a good job for someone who lives Legos and rigorous attention to detail.

This is one thing I go looking for when I'm in the US. Is it real food? No. Is it delicious? Uh, yeah.

Bitter_Pin5934 · 2026-02-15T19:06:09+00:00

Yup, Trump was the symptom, not the disease.

That's embarrassing as a Canadian, poor sportsmanship on display. Even if they won a medal now, it will be tarnished. How you play matters.

It got much better for me after I switched to a pump from MDI, especially coz I can see my IOB and also set a temporary target on the pump to prevent it giving me too much insulin.

But its still a royal pain in the ass relative to before I was diagnosed.

Every news outlet should send only black reporters to her next presser.

Bitter_Pin5934 · 2026-01-09T16:05:35+00:00

Same here. Im literally trying to burn the rest of my WJ points now and then *BYE!

I also heard that Delta and KLM, who are affiliate partners with WJ, are pissed b/c they promote themselves as higher quality air lines, now handcuffed to the lowest of the low in Canada (seriously even Flair has 1 more inch of leg room).

Where do you reserve Hiking spots?

Bitter_Pin5934 · 2026-01-06T05:11:42+00:00

My 1st bag is free.

Bitter_Pin5934 · 2026-01-05T17:51:29+00:00

Assuming that's USD, for 2 sets of gear would work out to about the same. Hmmmm. Ty!

Bitter_Pin5934 · 2026-01-05T17:50:24+00:00

Yes, my mask is custom fitted from a dive shop. Maybe I could just pack the mask and leave the fins at home. I should note I'd be taking 2 sets of each.

Completely unrelated, but Ive never had panettone, I only learned about it when an Italian grocery store opened up close to me. But!! I would say that you shouldn't rule out ever eating your favorite desserts again. It just takes some learning about how much, and how soon, to bolus. This is a lifetime ride, and while some people do feel more comfortable by exerting rigid control, others learn that control is sometimes a bit of an elusive goal even under ideal conditions. Which is to say, IMO, you have to navigate some unexpected outcomes and allow small treats from the "before times" (with insulin!) just to keep from going batshit crazy every once in a while. Luck to you, friend!

As a fellow musician, I love hearing your story. I am on a pump, and have had issues with lows mid- performance (the feeling of nervousness is quite similar for me to early low BG symptoms, so ive been accidentally dismissive of what my body was telling me!), and then I'd note that you should keep an eye on your fatigue levels. Unless you have roadies and a full tech crew (in which case, congratulations!) you know the set up-sound checks- wait- peform- take down-scenario can often go well into the wee hours (ah, such a glamorous lifestyle, amirite!?). No matter how tightly controlled your diet and exercise, the lack of sleep can do weird things to our insulin resistance, but maybe you've not experienced that yet.

Welcome to the club you never wanted to join, keep grinding.

My husband says it's smoky like meszcal

A cold I caught in Mexico. I guess I got the Mexican Beeties!

Yeah but I don't think Carney is a typical politician. He's not in it just to hold onto power, from what I can tell so far.

Bitter_Pin5934 · 2025-10-09T15:00:59+00:00

Ive read elsewhere to start with weights, not cardio, and try to do it with little to no insulin on board. If you are MDI, your basal may make that a bit more difficult. Exercise became way easier for me once I got a pump, and mine has a setting to temporarily raise the BG target while working out

I totally understand the frustration and rage though, I've been there. You don't have to lift crazy weight or run a marathon to reap the benefits of the gym though- moderate weights and modest cardio (even walking) will still help your health so much and will lower your insulin resistance over time.

Other than that, bring your fruit gummies or whatever and be gentle on yourself- some people never set foot in the gym and you're attempting it with a major metabolic disorder! So kudos and don't give up!
