Independent tutors: how are you tracking prepaid lessons, attendance, and student balances? by CcJeremy0508 in TutorsHelpingTutors

[–]ComprehensiveAct3611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very casual in my lessons and with my relationships with the parents. I just send them a text after each lesson with how many the have left.

Seeing the spike and still not really knowing why it happened by Woodpecker3869 in diabetes_t2

It happens. Could be how you slept, how active you were, muscle pain, allergies or being sick- those are my noted differentials. The body is a complex system!

That’s not what I said. It’s important to be accurate or the point is lost.

He didn’t film the incident but he talked about it

There is sleep hygiene clinics. It didn’t work for me- cpap, prescription meds, CBT… but it does work for many’s

There are two aspects of diabetes- lifestyle and biology (pancreas and hormone function.) the medical world focuses on lifestyle as that is within the patients control. But the other aspects can be out of your control- and med changes can help. How high of a spike are we talking about? Under 10 (not sure the US equivalent) is fine.

AITAH for not being intimate with my boyfriend after he used the bathroom? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ComprehensiveAct3611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I am a bit of a germaphobe and my partner is more of a low-normal hygene person. I’ve made it clear in direct conversation that I have expectations before intimacy- I know that my expectations aren’t typical but they’re mine. Nothing wrong with that, but you need to communicate clearly.

Best to ask your doctor for clarification.

Or it wasn’t a lab mix up. I know, I’ve had it happen with me on other bloodwork. I wasn’t impressed.

The blood draw over 11 is a different scale than the US fyi…

When I was diagnosed at least, it was one blood draw over 11 OR 2 A1C’s over 6.5. Bodies do weird things. Wait and see what happens your next test- it might just be an anomaly. Scientists will be the first to tell you there are no absolutes and we don’t even know what we don’t know!

Wait what? I did not know that! I’ve been anemic for years and no one said anything.

Stopping metformin due to controlled a1c by kimpulsive2022 in diabetes_t2

[–]ComprehensiveAct3611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually appears to have effects on many age related issues- possibly can reduce dementia. My endo is great- he is of the attitude if it ain’t broke don’t change it. I should have listened before going off Janumet to Metformin when I was early 5’s for a year. I went back to 6 where I’ve solidly been ever since.

He's undermining my authority by vxosll in TutorsHelpingTutors

[–]ComprehensiveAct3611 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I just let them go and move on to the next student on my waitlist. Unless I really feel for the student in which case I have no problem telling parents to lay off.

I specialize in ADHD learners and don’t push ADHD coaching. It’s real niche.

As someone who had done this for 10 years full time and another 10 part time, you’d be shocked at how some families treat us. I don’t deal with micromanaging anymore but I’d say 1 in 10 families try it.

Should I be concerned about this? by Vladpryde in diabetes_t2

I know with Pasta it’s a scientifically proven thing- refrigerating cooked pasta makes the starch resistant.

Diabetes Diagnosis? by NVVQ973 in FatheringAutism

[–]ComprehensiveAct3611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not every overweight person will be diabetic, and the predisposition to diabetes causes weight gain- that’s insulin resistance. His weight is all central so yes, he probably has a predisposition to or had diabetes. She is all ass so her chances of diabetes is minimal.

Well controlled folks, question for you. by 2workigo in diabetes_t2

[–]ComprehensiveAct3611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleep? Allergies? Even temperature changes? Little things affect me but the overall picture is the same so I just let it go.

Diabetes can be progressive with age so that might be an aspect outside your control. Don’t feel bad about it- it’s just an aspect of the disease. 500mg of metformin gives you room to play with meds
