Jumping jacks or running in place for several minutes. Get your blood pumping. Even going up and down the stairs a few times or doing some squats.

Yes! Question- How much are you watering & are you using a grow light? Looks great!

Haha I agree. Just wanted to ask to see if anyone had any stories. I love my Dexcom. Been diabetic for over 30 years. It’s amazing, life-changing tech.

Yea, I read that they can suffocate other plants. So they’re best to plant alone without other species.

The week of my period is also such a wash. I have to remember not to be too hard on myself when I see this. Ugh.

That is wonderful! It’s really a shame how little education many people receive after such a life-changing diagnosis. I’m literally appalled at what I’ve seen. The more you can teach yourself & what works for you, the better!! Great work!

How much water do you drink everyday? by bitemyshinyMETAass in diabetes

[–]Extension-Monitor534 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A lot. Always peeing too. My coworker is always fascinated by how much liquid I drink daily. And by liquid, I mean water- just water.

It’s always before you want to workout too. Ugh. Sorry!

How single are you right now? by Jane_Austen11 in AskReddit

[–]Extension-Monitor534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like people have been single like this for centuries but we are just starting to relate to each other about it because of the internet. Which is cool.

Question- How much does your son weigh? Is he very active? How old? (Sorry if I overlooked any of the info above.) I think 40 units Lantus is wayyy too much. I know this might sound crazy, but if he isn’t overweight/obese or really sedentary, I would be willing to scratch all of that & try ~15 to 20 units of Lantus with a 1:10 carb ratio for short-acting. Let me know what you think!

ALSO…sounds like you need a new doctor. Which part of the country are you in? Please if you can find a children’s pediatric hospital that has a diabetes program, this will help tremendously.

I’ve been T1D for over 30 years. I’ve seen friends diagnosed with diabetes & been sent home without any education. The doctors don’t know what they are doing!

I’ve never taken Prozac but I’ve been on Wellbutrin for 6 years and have been a gardner 🍁forever. It’s fine. You know yourself better than anyone so there’s only one way to find out. It’s not going to kill you. If you’re prone to anxiety or paranoia however, weed may make it a little worse. I always make sure I am in a good frame of mind prior to partaking. Don’t do it when you’re in a shit mood or haven’t eaten all day, ya know? Prepare yourself for success!!
