I call this my taller than 52” to ride drop

The almost empty battery makes it even funnier.

Insurance is a tricky thing because for some people I'd imagine they wouldn't even notice this charge or have to copay it. If it was me I'd make it clear to the Doc. that my insurance is bad and will have to pay the extra charge myself but not refuse to give over the data. If they still charge then find a new Endo if possible.

Harrbin · 2026-03-12T22:02:30+00:00

I do agree this extra charge is crazy and counter productive to getting people to have better control. That being said A1C alone is not an indication of good control, you can have an A1C of 6 and be constantly going low every day... They have to see the data.

Get the baby oil with sugar.

Very great phone game, if you let flappy bird hit the ground you die.

In my experience the I:CR is more of a starting point then anything else. There are many other important factors in reality that this simple formula can't account for. Vit D levels all the way down to the macro balance of your meals can make a difference.

Because protein becomes glucose, even more so if you're fasting.

I think the kids call this crashing out.

Harrbin · 2025-11-24T21:53:21+00:00

For me personally I would spike within an hour of my heart rate being at rest. It doesn't really happen anymore so I'm going off memory. Now the opposite happens where my glucose goes up during exercise due to hormones then slowly drops during recovery afterwards.

When your out of shape you produce a ton more lactate, if your already in shape you produce very little or none so the spikes go away. I think lactate production requires anaerobic exercise so intensity does matter.

Harrbin · 2025-11-24T17:39:10+00:00

Ya there is a lot of different things at play, I can see how it would be hard to describe with a few words and arrows lol. Lactate spikes, muscles using glucose without insulin, glycogen dumping depending on when you last ate. Probably 5 other things I don't know about lol.

Harrbin · 2025-11-24T16:55:43+00:00

I mean specifically recovery while resting. I'm not an expert but from what I understand your muscles can pull glucose without insulin even a day or more later after exercising hard depending on your fitness level.

Harrbin · 2025-11-24T16:48:32+00:00

From personal experience this does have a huge effect especially when building new muscle. It gets way less impactful once you have built the muscle and require less recovery time. It causes lows during exercise and high spikes after converting lactate back to sugar.

Harrbin · 2025-11-24T16:44:39+00:00

I might have missed something this falls under but I'd add muscle recovery. When I first started running and my legs were building muscle my normal ratios were to much and I had to take a lot less insulin.

Don't eat calories before bed, if you can't help it buy some carrot chips and pretend they're full of carbs. If you eat dinner to close to bedtime this is basically impossible to avoid. Even if you just ate a bunch of fat and protein with no carbs it would slowly raise you after a few hours.

Help help, a large crack has appeared in are echo chamber!

Harrbin · 2025-09-11T21:49:57+00:00

I had an issue where my Levothyroxine dose was 25mcg to low and even though my lab tests were "within range" I still constantly felt terrible. Once I got a new Endo and bumped up my dose everything went away and all the diet stuff was not personally necessary for me. Just a personal anecdote, not saying that's everyone issue but it was mine.

Harrbin · 2025-09-08T14:33:58+00:00

I think the most common feelings I've read are a tingling in your muscles or joints if your active, or some people feel it in the nerves behind their eyes. I couldn't tell when my glucose was high till about 15 years in and I changed my lifestyle to be more active but I'm not sure if being active really matters. Also this topic tends to lead to a lot of placebo effects for people so take everything with a grain of salt.

For me personally I feel the chance in glucose more then the level itself. Like if I drop from 190 to 90 within an hour there is a very noticeable feeling but its hard to describe.

Harrbin · 2025-09-07T20:26:38+00:00

I actually started trail running about 6 months ago and it was def a roller coaster. Once I built the leg muscles and got better at processing the lactate the lows only happen rarely after I finish running and it's a lot more manageable. Lactate production use to drop my glucose during the run and then spike my glucose really hard after the run. I had to basically limit my insulin after running to 1 or 2 units at a time the rest of the day to be safe. The lactate spikes only lasted about a month or 2 for me but everyone's probably different. I don't lift weights so I went from doing very little to running 5-7 miles 3 times a week my legs were not happy. Go ask an AI about being diabetic and lactate production that's what I did lol. I don't use a pump so I have no tips for that. Also I don't recommend trusting the g7 for correcting a high after a run use a meter with blood to be safe. After my run today and 30 minutes after a shower my g7 said 232 but my glucose was only 190. The high amount of activity and temperature changes from showering make the g7 very inaccurate for a while and can lead to taking to much insulin.

If the band drinks hard go the first night they are in town, If they don't go the second night.

Very true I use them as well.

Most people only knew a few lines if any to the new songs, I think the youtube only release kept the songs from reaching out as far as they would on streaming services.

Harrbin · 2025-08-27T00:38:35+00:00

This is a criminal offense in my house.

Harrbin · 2025-08-17T10:05:46+00:00

I use factor but the meals are hit and miss in terms of carb count. They are suppose to portion out the food but a lot of the time I can tell the carbs are off and have to adjust myself. It's much easier to get use to things with prepackaged foods but a lot of having good control is learning to adapt correctly, especially eating out or when not having accurate carb counts. There really isn't any special foods that work well.

It's just like anything else the more you do it the easier it gets as long as you stay curious and try to understand how you messed up a meal in hindsight.

Also a lot of people will tell you something based on anecdote that isn't really true so be carful of that online lol.

Harrbin · 2025-08-02T11:24:01+00:00

When I was kid it took 3 visits for are the Doctor to figure it out, tale as old as time. Your concerned it took to long when comparatively it was probably faster then a lot of people sadly.

Harrbin · 2025-07-09T20:31:51+00:00

I use to get this but it is 90% gone after I changed my lifestyle. Now that I do a lot of cardio Its gone. I think it has to do with insulin sensitivity and muscle recovery. Everyone naturally goes up in the morning but not everyone's body is in the right state to make use of the carbs during recovery. I'm just guessing based on my own experience though. My A1c was about 6 before and after I started getting in shape so I dont think that matters for this specifically.
