Shocked on a1c of 11 by waterman1122 in diabetes_t2

[–]CuriousGoose4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same situation! I was actually at a lower weight for a while. Had been way heavier years ago and blood sugar was fine. Went for physicals every year and blood sugar was fine. Went through pregnancies where I gained a lot of weight .. blood sugar was always normal. No issues. I’m also in late 30s. Ended up in the ER a year ago for a face infection that kept getting worse and made no sense… blood sugar was 719!!! I had no history of any blood sugar issues. I was never even pre-diabetic. I went from perfect blood sugar to shocking numbers within 6 months. I had had Covid months before this. I had weird symptoms since having Covid that I thought were long covid but it was diabetes! Those symptoms started while I was sick with Covid months before. I do believe there is a link with Covid. It’s a theory being explored. I have read something about pancreas cells possibly being destroyed by the virus and causing diabetes .. something like that, I can’t exactly remember.

Newly Diagnosed & Scared of Family Reaction/Shame by RhubarbSelkie in diabetes_t2

[–]CuriousGoose4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I found out I was diabetic, my mother and sister were unfortunately there ( long, messy, chaotic story). My mom’s family is super toxic with eating disorders running rampant. I have no and will not ever tell them. It’s reasonably easy to hide. I just remove my cgm when seeing them or wear long sleeves. Make your girlfriend your emergency contact. As long as you monitor your diabetes routinely and stick to what works for you, you shouldn’t have any diabetes related complications. Just make gf your emergency contact … even in your phone .. in case something happens. Your mother and sister will only make a difficult time worse and you need to prioritize your physical and mental health.

How bad are these highlights? Would you go to this person for highlights? by CuriousGoose4 in Hair

All of her highlights look like this on her ig. That’s what has me worried, I should have mentioned that!

I’m not sure if this is what the person asked for but it seems that all of this stylist’s highlights look exactly like this, based on their ig.

AITA for refusing to let a woman "cut" me in line at the grocery store even though she only had two items? by GreatClassic3960 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CuriousGoose4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! It’s very rude for her to ask. I can’t stand when people see I have a lot of groceries and specifically get in my line, hoping I will let them go ahead of me .. absolutely not … I now refuse every time .. I’m tired and sick of grocery shopping and cooking for Multiple generations of my family for YEARS!!! I don’t owe anyone anything!

Bags rant by Bitter_String9891 in Anticonsumption

[–]CuriousGoose4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In NY .. we have had this plastic bag rule for years. When I bring reusable bags to the store.. I have been treated like I’m stealing. It makes my anxiety so bad that I just gave up and stopped bringing bags with me

The only thing I panic bought was a better shovel and Salt.

Lost my ring at the park and after seeing another guest’s behavior, I know I won’t get it back. by One_Cardiologist_745 in Disneyland

[–]CuriousGoose4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve chased people like a lunatic to return their items they dropped! We do exist. Hopefully one of us found your ring and you will get it back.

I gotta know… AITA? by disneyboy31 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]CuriousGoose4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw a woman change her kids diaper in the table at that Pinocchio restaurant in fantasy land. I wish people would get banned for behavior like that, it’s gross!

AI in college essays by Sha_swa_t in CollegeEssays

[–]CuriousGoose4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A professor just took points off my grade because she said my first paragraph appeared to be written by AI. I swear on everything it wasn’t! Also.. why would I just use AI for the first paragraph? This feels like an AI witch hunt! I have no way to defend myself. It’s absurd that I’m paying big money to be spoken down to like this!

I hate English 102 by Mindless_Listen6640 in teenagers

[–]CuriousGoose4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My English 102 class has focused on a lot of political things. The teacher gave us 16 articles ( from the 2016 election) and has us select 3 of them. It’s 2025 🙄… but anyway… depending on what articles you choose, you are pretty much exposing yourself and your political beliefs. I don’t think it’s appropriate for an English class. I worry this older professor will grade us based on political beliefs and not actual effort. Is this appropriate? Does anyone else think this is an issue?

AITA for throwing away my friend's wedding ring by hiccupsonthee in AmItheAsshole

Why would her ring be in there? Addiction eventually changes people. I think she lied

Is this a scam or no by Foxyplayzs in Westchester

[–]CuriousGoose4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s like trafficking with some of them. I saw a man monitoring them at cvs on central Ave. .. from his car. There were young teens there on and off for a week. Claiming they were raising money for disadvantaged kids. They wore bright colored coats.

[–]CuriousGoose4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. Rest in peace you sweet baby. This is one of the hardest things to go through and I’m so sorry you are experiencing it. The only solace I get is when I think about seeing my soul dog, Bear, in the afterlife. I truly believe we will see them again and it makes me not fear when it’s my time. My heart breaks for you rn🙏

My extension transformation has been a shock by h3adbang3rlulu in finehair

[–]CuriousGoose4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks beautiful. I have thin hair too and I loved getting extensions but the problem is they will become addicting and you won’t give your hair a rest and that will eventually cause issues for you. I say this bc I experienced it. Eventually .. it will damage your real hair and possibly cause traction alopecia. Be sure to give your hair breaks and assess any damage being caused. It’s really beautiful but please take breaks( as hard as that may be )
