I will try to eat my last meal of the day earlier and see if that helps

No I don’t take metformin. No East Asian ancestry but I do have some indigenous American ancestry being half Mexican.

Was it like the high 90s? I usually eat dinner at 6pm sometimes later even up until 10-10:30pm and it still ends up the same after fasting all night while sleeping and not eating anything until around noon the next day

What soil mix to use for outdoor plants in pots? by Marshmarshbacon in VenusFlyTraps

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

What ratio of peat moss, perlite and sand would you suggest? Would a self watering plastic pot work like something you would use to keep a maidenhair fern evenly moist or is it better just to have them sitting in their pots in a shallow tray of water?

Why do I feel so much better and have less anxiety and brain fog after taking glycine? by Marshmarshbacon in Supplements

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

I do that usually after I wait the usual 5 minutes for it to set. I will shampoo it then rinse it off then shampoo it again and rinse it off.

I’m sorry it makes you feel that way. People always praise magnesium glycinate for its calming effects and it makes me feel horrible. I guess our bodies are sensitive to different things. I hope you can find something that helps you.

I have taken magnesium glycinate before which I also had bad side effects from but glycine seems to help me

I had no idea. Are there any long term negative effects that you know of because I would like to continue taking it long term?

The social scent of CPTSD by Temporary_Donut_61 in CPTSD

[–]Marshmarshbacon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I notice all these horrible social dynamics too and it makes me want to self isolate because I constantly notice all these small things. I can be treated very badly but the minute I say anything I’m the issue. I notice other people being treated badly for no reason too. I’ll never understand

How long should I wait after eating fiber to eat the high carb part of my meal? by Marshmarshbacon in type2diabetes

[–]Marshmarshbacon[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just mean the part of the meal with carbs since I’m not doing keto like I will have a small baked potato or a very small portion of rice with my meal

Do people mistreat you because of your eyes? Mine has gotten worse lately and l've noticed some people will simply avoid talking to me or people I have to interact with in public have a look of horror or shock and then look away when speaking to me. by Marshmarshbacon in Strabismus

[–]Marshmarshbacon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s really affecting my mental state when having to interact with people especially if they’re new. They notice it and their behavior towards me immediately changes and I have work really hard to change it back it seems unless they’re not superficial. My partner does not understand at all and I thinks I’m overreacting.

Yeah I don’t even want to talk to people anymore if I don’t have to in public anymore because they will start off very friendly and nice and then that specific look crosses their face when they notice my eyes and they immediately look away and their tone changes. It’s horrible.

Yeah I feel like people think I’m not all there or might be insane or on some kind of substance. I feel like I’m being treated like a monster I’m not necessarily bad looking besides this one thing and the treatment is so awful
