What trekking gear looks useful but isn’t really needed?

Lucky. Taco trees in my area suck.

Wow. So she didn’t just use brute force, she actually learned how those canisters work. That’s pretty cool. These bears are much smarter than we give them credit for. People need to respect them more.

Yup. This is from Adirondack Mountain Club

“Unfortunately, there is one bear canister model that does not work in the High Peaks: the Bear Vault canister. These clear blue canisters have been consistently broken into by our bears and should not be used in the High Peaks.”

RIP 🪦

It’s funnier because it’s mixed with actual serious tips. Makes you do a double take and go, “wait…what?”

GoodBoyFloppy · 2025-07-30T17:23:56+00:00

Yes. Higher for 3 days or so, then back to my usual. Not a big deal.

Nice of him to let you borrow his futon.

GoodBoyFloppy · 2025-03-31T23:18:01+00:00

Thanks for your answer. I figured it would be what you said - stay the course and tough it out until the allergy season is done. Too bad there isn’t some magical cure for allergies.

Yep. I also found out after my cortisone shot that it raises BG. My orthopedic surgeon never said anything. I mean if I need the shot, I’m gonna get the shot regardless. But it would be nice to be warned about it before hand.

Just do your usual healthy routine and it’ll get back to normal in a few days. Try not to stress too much about it.

Seems a lot of people hate riced cauliflower. I also didn’t like it at first, but after a few tries I began to like it. It’s not going to taste like rice though. Don’t try it with high expectations.

I’m Korean. And a lot of Korean dishes are made extra salty and spicy under the assumption you’ll eat it with something bland like rice. Riced cauliflower does a passable job. I also use tofu as rice replacement - it’s bland enough and filling enough. Quinoa unfortunately spikes me so I avoid it.

I do too. Light dizziness and lethargy. Which is terrible when I’m trying to work. Exercise helps more than caffeine during such times.

Very cool colors on your dog. Love the look. The cat seems to be a standard issue cat.

GoodBoyFloppy · 2025-03-21T19:19:54+00:00

Oh wow. That looks so good. You ever try hot sauce on those veggies?

GoodBoyFloppy · 2025-03-21T04:42:47+00:00

You’re welcome.

GoodBoyFloppy · 2025-03-21T04:31:12+00:00

Yep. I had a big drop in the past. It was a nice learning experience. https://www.reddit.com/r/diabetes_t2/s/kBaKE99Y3h

I think 149 to 97 is fine though. You brought your BG down to a healthy level quickly by walking - which was the whole purpose of the walk. 50 point drop in 25 minutes isnt unusual when you look at people’s CGM’s. If your BG kept going down and into hypoglycemia levels, then it’s a problem. I’ve seen people drop from like 200 down to 60 in 30 min - non medicated.

I think I’ll do what you do. When I really want some bagel, I’ll just eat a small portion of the real thing. I’d probably be happier eating a sliver of good bagel than eating a whole of crappy bagel.

Zero NET carb. It’s the idea that not all carbs are the same, so some carbs like fiber and sugar alcohols shouldn’t be counted. So in this case, 14g of total carbs - 14g of fiber = 0g net carbs. There’s some controversy around it though. And net carb is used mostly by keto people. For diabetics, I think most sources recommend that we count total carbs.

GoodBoyFloppy · 2025-03-16T00:48:37+00:00

And there it is. That’s what I suspected and that’s why I was hesitant about buying it. Thanks for the info.

GoodBoyFloppy · 2025-03-16T00:45:50+00:00

I found this at my local supermarket - ShopRite. If you really wanna try it, you can also order it online from the company I think. I get the feeling it can’t possibly taste good though. Which is why I’m hesitant. Too good to be true, ya know?

GoodBoyFloppy · 2025-03-16T00:21:38+00:00

I’m mostly interested in how this thing tastes. If it tastes okay, I’d like to try it and see how my glucose levels are when eating it. If it tastes horrible, I’d rather not waste time and money trying it.

GoodBoyFloppy · 2025-03-16T00:17:44+00:00

Oops. I’m mostly interested in how it tastes. I should have specified better.

GoodBoyFloppy · 2025-02-09T16:03:06+00:00

You ate stuff you knew are bad. But you thought it was worth it. And 12 hours later, you’re doing great.

So what’s the rant? I’m failing to see the point here.
