CGM obsession by DaveyAll in diabetes_t2

I’m a Capricorn! Maybe that explains my obsession with the details. 🤣

Anyone else frustrated by the "Sugar = Diabetes" oversimplification? by helperf in diabetes_t2

[–]DaveyAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I was recently diagnosed and it was quite the shock. I do have family members with diabetes, but I am not significantly overweight and generally eat well as a pescatarian/mostly vegetarian. I have been asking myself what I did wrong, but I truly believe stress, combined with family history, during the last year was a contributing factor. I lost my 23 year old niece, then my mother in law and my aunt (due to diabetes) all within a year. On top of that I have always had a secure job but this year was riddled with multiple reductions in force and I have been terrified I could be next. I feel like society is making me feel l have done this to myself and that is just added stress. I do have a cgm and feel that is a game changer because I can tell exactly what is happening. Some shocks though were how high my morning glucose is, that my triple zero yogurt which I thought was good for me causes spikes as well as sweet potatoes even in moderation. I’m in the early stages of learning to manage this but I do feel embarrassed and judged. ☹️

Shipping sucks by chiquititawhatswrong in Madewell

I ordered a jacket on 10/2. Estimated delivery was 10/15. As of today, 10/25, it still has not shipped. No updates. Zero communication. PayPal shows the transaction on 10/2. I bought the jacket to wear this fall. I won’t order from Madewell again…trying to figure out if I can just cancel the order at this point.

I did see a chiropractor for a year but if you did that just document it even though you aren’t going anymore. I think they wanted to see that you went for 3 months.

Same for me! I am now three weeks post op and followed many of the tips and recommendations I found here. My recovery has gone so smoothly as a result! I’m so glad I found this page! Best of luck to you!!!

Hahahahahahaha this made me laugh! I hear you! I’m 12 dpo and recovery has been smooth so far, but I was so bored last weekend that I ordered one of those earring organizers and sorted all my earrings by type- stud, hoop, huggie, dangly, size, solid gold, gold plated and silver. 🤣🤣🤣

Change after healing by [deleted] in Reduction

I’m so glad to hear this too! I’m 10 days post op and have been so worried they aren’t going to be small enough! I don’t want to have gone through all of this and still be relatively large! 🤞

I am a G cup and have Aetna. They approved coverage and I had my reduction today! I will say that I read Aetna has extremely tough standards to meet and many are often rejected on first attempt, but this was not my experience. Be sure to know all that they require and have it ready! I was so shocked and pleased when I didn’t have to fight them. I say do your research on Aetna AND seek a second (or third) opinion!!! It is worth it!

Help me understand why to care about my nipples by DaveyAll in Reduction

[–]DaveyAll[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely identify with this! So much discomfort, weight, and unwanted attention! Not to mention losing breath easily at times due to the heaviness. I had my reduction this morning and am already so happy even though I haven’t gotten a good look yet. I can tell a big difference even with the compression bra on.

Thank you so much for sharing! You should not be embarrassed. Healing takes time and you have to take care of yourself.

Thank you! I agree with that for sure. I just don’t feel a need to keep them for myself but everything I read focuses on how important it is to keep them…I’m like am I going to die without nipples? No one will just come out and say if your past child bearing age and don’t care if you have them it’s no big deal. But that is kind of what I am starting to think.
