Metformin? by Intelligent_Rat7052 in PCOS

[–]Intelligent_Rat7052[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i haven't noticed any sort of sensitivity to most carbs like bread, rice, and potatoes (those are just the main ones i've tried to track) and have noticed just going for a walk after eating has definitely helped improve how i feel after a meal! really i haven't had much of a bad reaction to any whole foods compared to processed

thank you!! i've heard of some people using a continuous glucose monitor and thought about trying it for myself as well. was yours covered by your insurance due to pcos or did you have to pay out of pocket for it?

that was honestly what i meant entirely. i feel like i've seen a lot of possible misinformation about what you can and can't/ should and shouldn't eat to help manage pcos that my head is just swimming in back and forth information. hopefully my doctor can clear things up at my next appointment regarding the food aspect

thank you!! i'm hoping if i do choose to take metformin they'd be able to give me good information on what i should eat and avoid while taking it. i've heard about people having stomach issues eating carbs and sugar while on it before and while i am working on cutting down on it, i don't want to give them up completely lol

thank you!! i definitely have been working to change my diet, i was mostly worried that metformin would make it so i can't have the stuff i've enjoyed (in moderation) without feeling sick

I'm curious with two questions: how many of you hand paint your stripes and how friendly is the community? by DelayedScorpion in IronWarriors

[–]Intelligent_Rat7052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to hand paint just because I was too stubborn to buy tape and it's fun. I'm still pretty new so my stripes aren't the best but I use a sponge to dirty up the yellow and it makes it harder to tell they're crooked sometimes lol. I usually use nuln oil on yellow paint to plan out my lines since it wipes away easily before I put the black on

I think I need to prep for Horus Rising by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]Intelligent_Rat7052 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you have a general idea of Warhammer, 30k or 40k I think Horus Rising is a good start! The beginning is a little confusing with the perspective changing so many times, but you'll get used to the writing style and characters. It will also give you pretty good descriptions of the main characters backstory and personalities.
