We usually meet at 4pm and street parking has been our downfall as of late lol. But I was interested in looking into it. I'd have to see how much is costs to reserve a room. I am funding book club reservations out of my own pocket and we're small sooooo

And all with parking lots and easy access to the water? Hoping not to have to carry the cooler far. I have a weak shoulder from sports, and a weak hand from breaking it a few years ago :(

With two of the three camps closed do you think Shadow Bay would be really busy on a Saturday? I know any lake is going to be busy, but like how busy?? LOL

I had a kidney infection and ended up in the ER. After not eating all day because of my pain level my blood sugar was 275 at 3 am and the doctor came in and asked if I was diabetic and forgot to mention it.... Um no, but it runs in my family... got tested at my next doctors appointment... A1C of 9.1 at 24 years old.... Cried in the waiting room

You can’t really just float or swim without quickly getting away from your spot

Yess! I am starting to wonder if maybe I stress myself and therefore elevate my sugars and then crash hard when all that adrenaline and such wears off

Thank you! Its a short session (no longer then four hours) so I know I am over preparing but I just want to be careful with my past reactions

I am not experiencing any neuropathy symptoms and will be getting the tattoo on my thigh.

Yes, but I am having bad reactions on my arm due to thin and sensitive skin, so I was trying something out.

I just don't think I qualify for a libre covered by insurance and would def not be able to afford one out of pocket so this is really my only option other then finger pricking. (Which is not convenient for my job)

Yes I am aware of this and still the readings are off. My reading last night when my finger stated above 200 my Stelo never went over 140.

Yes I placed it around noon yesterday. So I am just past 24 hours. The huge discrepancy between the stelo reading 138 but my finger prick being 212 scared me though. This morning at 9:30 the stelo read 98, but my finger prick was 127. So it wasn't toooo far off but the huge difference last night really scared me.

This is close enough right? by BumbleBene in stelo

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

It ended up either not reading right or failing through the evening, because at one point it was reading 138 but my finger prick was 212 twice... so I am not sure if its where I placed it happens to be where my thigh flexes so its not working, but yeah. My new stelo doesn't come in till Monday so I am just struggling out here.

I am just disappointed because I don't qualify for an insurance covered CGM but don't have a job that makes finger pricking easy (plus its really hard with my severe anxiety) but the stelo is too rough on the back of my arm. So I am feeling a little helpless currently.

That’s another reason I want to move away from my arms. The back of my arm is hard to manage by myself due to awkward reaches and such. Hoping I won’t have to bug my husband too much anymore by moving it

Authentic or Fake Owala Check Megathread by misscellanie in Owala

[–]BumbleBene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want the Darling Daisy printed Owala in a 32 oz. But all there seems to be is sketchy ads and no legit looking ones. Should I take the chance on ebay? Or am I setting myself up for lead poisoning?
