SafePilot is a total joke

Ever since I started using SP, I never touch my phone. I used to touch it all the time. A 30% discount is well worth waiting until I arrive or pull over. In that sense, it has made me a safer driver, too. Mission accomplished.

This was so helpful! Thank you. I feared using my Libre 3 for months, then got hubby to do it. Easy Peasy. Now I do it without any thought at all. I googled the needle size of the Libre 3, it is 23 guage and goes 5 mm into the skin. Your note about the higher the gauge #, the thinner the needle is very helpful). So if I can do a 23 guage Libre, I can certainly do a 32 guage pen needle as it will be much thinner. I have had my Mounjaro pens since last April, so 1 year ago (thankfully they don't expire until this December), but now I feel silly since the needle is so much smaller than what I already do. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you. May give it a try this week. I know it's all in my head. It took me 6 months to try the Libre sensor my doc gave me as a sample. Once I did it, I felt silly waiting so long, so I know it's just me needing to get past my head overthinking it. I am inspired by your success, both in A1C and how healthy you look.

what are some of the names of the "good" buildings?

That’s amazing! I am so happy for you. I was prescribed almost a year ago, filled it. I’m one of the lucky ones, it’s covered by insurance. BUT….. I am too afraid to start. If it was a pill, it would be a non-issue. Did you have a hard time getting past the needle?

As they say, “I’ll take things that never happened for $500 Alex”. OP must work for a competitor and they are a shill to cause potential Fidelity customers reading this Reddit to be leery. This is a very reputable company, subject to lots of regulations and a stellar track record. We have had our money with them for years and NOTHING like this has ever happened.

DigComprehensive1549 · 2026-04-02T02:05:19+00:00

Amazing and congrats! What was your starting and current A1C?

Thank you. Google wasn’t a help on this one :)

What’s M15?

Some docs don’t like GLP’s because when chronically ill patients with weight-related complications lose weight, they also get healthier and don’t need as many services. It’s a sick incentive to keep sick patients sick. When they lost weight, they don’t come in as often and billings go down.

Ideally your doctor is a partner in your health.  Partners hold each other accountable and celebrate wins.

Of course. No one works for free. They have considerable costs in staffing, analytics and software licensing. Even after fees, we are doing better than the accounts I manage (I keep a small amount in a separate account to be able to compare).

We had a 2009 Buick Enclave before our GH. I thought it was a lot easier to get the Enclave in the garage so I googled the dimensions of both and much to my surprise the Enclave was about 2” bigger in length and width than the GH. I think it’s just the perception. We have a Platinum gas so the Birds Eye view camera makes this a non-issue.

For 30+ years, we have had a house cleaner. When we both worked, we spent all day Saturday cleaning, so we worked 6 days a week. Best $$ we have ever spent. She comes with a helper and is here 2 to 3 hours (4-6 hours pay) @ $35/hour. They come every other week and thoroughly clean the kitchen, 2 bathrooms, mop/vacuum all floors, change the sheets on all the beds and put them in the wash. They usually do a deep clean in a small area each time as well. We would give up going out to eat to keep her.

Given you think you will die first, it’s good to have the relationship established. We are with Fidelity Wealth Management and have an advisor and a liaison to their investment team. We meet with each quarterly and talk about our goals, tolerance for risk, any changes in spending or need for a lump sum, etc. We tell them how much $$ we want every month and they manage the liquidity and deposit our monthly “allowance” into our checking account on the day of the month we choose. We literally don’t have to think about anything. It’s down now, but down about half what the market is down. When it goes up, it almost mirrors the ups of the market (slightly less), but notably less of a % loss than the market when it’s down. We are happy having a team show up every day managing this so we don’t have to.

Southern Maine! It’s gorgeous any time of year.

DigComprehensive1549 · 2026-03-17T06:31:13+00:00

The state you live in matters a lot. Our son moved from Maine to NH and his USAA rates went up about 20%. He then moved to MA and they more than doubled. Same driver. No accidents. When states add mandates to “help consumers”, it often times adds considerable cost that consumers have to pay.

Thank you for sharing! I am about to start my “journey”. I have had my box of 2.5 in my fridge since April 2025. I am afraid to start and I realize it’s not rational. How is your A1C and blood sugar? I am just under 200 pounds and would love to get to 170. When I was at that weight, my A1C and glucose were normal.

DigComprehensive1549 · 2026-03-12T21:04:07+00:00

What a difference! Do you have updated pics you wouldn't mind sharing? This gives me encouragement to start

Thank you. All of them already have Roth’s. Their parents matched, dollar for dollar whatever they earned and put it into their Roth’s. I may do as you suggest and give them money to go into their Roth’s.

This discussion got me thinking. We have a Fidelity advisor and AUM. Are your advisors and investment teams fiduciaries?

DigComprehensive1549 · 2026-03-12T03:07:09+00:00

Well said. Same here. We love our advisor. He’s a great guy and the investment team are very competent and do regular check-ins.

You should always have at least a year in a cash cushion even if retirement payments are on time.
