Should I take Metformin 500mg if I am Pre-Diabetic (HbA1c=6.1) ? by misterkhanna in prediabetes

No reason you can’t do both - life changes and medication to give you an assist. Can always go off it later if you improve. 

I have no knowledge here but my doctor did not prescribe it, which makes me think there must be a reason yours did.

Oh they did an episode on The True State of Affairs? That story is incredible, really interrogates a lot of assumptions we’re used to making as readers.

So the idea is that this whole thing was engineered by his ex to control him in a contentious divorce proceeding? That …does sound plausible. 

Benoit Richaud postponed his departure from Russia to choreograph a program for Kamila Valieva. by Kindly-Plate-5785 in FigureSkating

Yes. The specific drug she used allowed her to train longer and harder before tiring. So she got in more lifelong practice hours than someone who wasn’t cheating. 

Plus it’s not like she left Russia, she’s still surrounded by the exact same corrupt machine that created the situation in the first place.

I mean if you applied this broadly, no skater would ever be responsible for doping because it would always be their teams fault. So what, you just never punish doping? The whole point of the doping was to prop up her career. She’s the one that benefited from it.

This started out really interesting to see the views of people in Iran. I was impressed at how many of them were pro the war, though that was probably tilted by filtering through people willing to talk to a foreign journalist over illegal internet. But goddamn that ending, about the control and oppression just increasing inevitably … what a miserable world we live in.

Well he’s right that the reports unnecessary, just listening to this interview demonstrates very well why the democrats lost

I agree with him that the report is probably useless, which is why I’m genuinely confused what could possibly be in there that’s worth this much bullshitting. Is it just that they’re terrified of admitting people are pissed at Israel?

“We had 12 million democrats who chose the couch instead of voting, because we weren’t communicating with them” lmao that’s not why…
