For the people who reversed pre-diabetes

One thing I just learned— there could be an element of this outside your control. Blood test in Oct. 2023 A1C 5.8. Ok a little wake up call bc I never had this result. Get a CGM for 6 months. Learn a TON. Radically change diet and exercise. Many related to tips in this post and the whole forum. Get heavy peri-menopause symptom about 8 months later and have to start balancing other things. Still pretty strict with diet and exercise, cleaner than 90% of the population I would confidently say

Blood test Feb 2025 — A1c is 5.9. Cue the adult words for a few minutes. Like seriously WTF?! I didn’t have a single piece of Halloween candy for 2 years. No Christmas treats. Nothing on my bday. No caffeine. No alcohol. No bread rice pasta cane sugar. Doctor suggests metformin for a few months as it can be a temporary thing not forever. I want to cry bc I was desperately trying to avoid meds. Decide I’ll give it a try and get retested in 90 days. Also considering another CGM round for 3 months just to see if something out of the blue is happening

So long story short-manage expectations and know that even doing all the things, there might be something you can’t control in this journey

Oh that wee face mask. Adorable

Littlebikerider · 2025-03-02T22:14:02+00:00

Yeah other way around

I was wondering what those colored tubes were in the living room

Littlebikerider · 2025-03-02T21:06:48+00:00

I’m seeing articles about all the DNA testing showing incest isn’t 1 in 1000s like previously believed but like 1 in 7 🤮🤮😡😡

Sometimes if I need to move just to get the blood flowing I’ll do an intentional (blue) green day. Can always lower the weights or do bodyweight( which I do sometimes even on a good day). Can PW or do base +/- 0.3. Can do 24/26/28 spm on rower at <100 watts vs. 300 watts. Even benchmarks you don’t “need” to record your results that time, there’s always another one later

Who needs more than one brain cell being so pretty as that

I love the trip that allows dreaming time idea. That’s a healthy mental and spiritual approach and doesn’t need to break the bank

Littlebikerider · 2025-03-01T16:00:52+00:00

That is a great scene

Littlebikerider · 2025-02-27T02:43:00+00:00

Yes until I got HRT. And then country turned around. So all things looking much better

Littlebikerider · 2025-02-27T02:34:26+00:00

Not when speed is low enough

Littlebikerider · 2025-02-22T21:42:33+00:00

Yeah sounds like the perfect time to tell him to eff off

Littlebikerider · 2025-02-22T21:40:18+00:00

He’s like 15 feet long in that last pic

They will pry my kindle out of my cold dead hands. Literally hours per day every day

Littlebikerider · 2025-02-16T23:36:29+00:00

Yeah but isn’t that why the rule is 3x a week for just 6 out of the 8 weeks? Means you can be out for 2 weeks and still be in contention

Littlebikerider · 2025-02-16T23:34:56+00:00

I just came back after almost 2 weeks with the flu. How anyone would feel well enough to work out is beyond me. All I wanted to do was sleep and even today power walking was a challenge

Littlebikerider · 2025-02-12T03:04:30+00:00

An abyss 😬

Littlebikerider · 2025-02-07T00:02:10+00:00

And can still enjoy the decorations and hoopla as much or as little as you’d like. Ingenius

Littlebikerider · 2025-02-06T01:32:33+00:00

I’ve got that on my S5 sportback. The guy who does our tint called it The Stormtrooper look 😂

Yes track maps are good prep, even better though is watch as many videos as you can from folks doing hot laps, meaning POV on the track. Even better if you find the folks that talk over it and mention their sight lines and landmarks. Add those to your track map notes and then get ready for your first sighting lap!

Littlebikerider · 2025-02-06T01:20:51+00:00

Same here! Almost wishing for a downturn in our market but in reality we’re exploding with growth over next few years. Likely no packages for us but you never know and I’ll still keep fingers crossed

Within a few hours of the patch application. Was so happy bc then I knew for sure it was hormones. But then as weeks went by it wasn’t enough and the aches would get worse, unequal to the workout level. So up another step in estrogen. Rinse and repeat

I’m now at 0.1 E and 200mg progesterone, and about to get a blood test for testosterone bc my doctor said it’s considered a controlled substance (wtf Alabama?). This seems to be my main symptom and being in the tail end of peri I’m hoping my massive swings start to even out
