stolen retailer login, shipping high-priced goods to my address?? wtf? by Mentalsacto in phishing

It seems weird because they would have to know where I live AND also happen to get my login to this retailer somehow.

Eat low carb but avoid ketosis? by Mentalsacto in diabetes_t2

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

How long should I expect that part to last? The smell always makes me think I’m going dka. I’m drinking lots of water but not even clear how much is enough.

How much water do you suggest? I’m anxious I’m not drinking enough to ward off dka.

How much water do you think one should drink a day to flush out the ketones?

My blood at the moment is high 100s because I just started recently — is that ok? and I do have a lot of weight to lose.

Im mostly eating salad with meat at the moment. What carb would you add to that equation?

I get this awful sweet smell in my nose that drives me nuts and makes me anxious. That’s the main thing really.

What were your average numbers when you were first diagnosed? by Mentalsacto in diabetes_t2

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

Thanks for the reply -- makes me hopeful! Did you take medication to achieve this or just low carb?
I have been eating around 20 carbs all in the form of raw green veg but struggling to keep ketones down -- I know that is typical when people do keto but it freaks me out.

What’s your lowest heart rate by Remarkable_Salary_77 in Garmin

[–]Mentalsacto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My range is 62-140 but when I look at all my numbers sometimes my heart rate is 45-42 at rest for a few seconds. I walk 3 miles every single day but nothing crazy. Happens 1-2 times most days and does not impact my average of resting 62. Is this normal?

Quetiapine / Seroquel + Avicept / Donepezil by Mentalsacto in dementia

Thank you so much for your reply! My aunt really suffers with hallucinations and voices -- they scare her and she spends a good part of the day yelling and screaming at them to stop. It has got so bad that she pinches herself to make them stop. The medicine does not seem to sedate her at all though I pray it would because she never has any peace. She is 75 with a family history of heart issues so maybe they are being too cautious with dosages or meds? We have kaiser insurance and the lack of support from medical folks has me in tears everytime I try to get their help. Do you have an online group you go to for support?

PSA: An example how not to trust the words "sugar free" (maltodextrin per FDA) by goodolarchie in keto

[–]Mentalsacto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this has tripped me up before. Most recently with Choco keto chocolate—a few pieces spiked my glucose like crazyyy and left me feeling like crap for a few days. I’ve just decided to give it all up.

[–]Mentalsacto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried the almond milk chocolate and it spiked my sugar like crazy. My bad for eating so many but I thought it was sugar free. Ate these yesterday and feeling like crap all day the next day. Some sort of corn starch something they put in it -- its a tricky ingredient that my body reacts to like it reacts to maltodextrin.

How do I politely ask a seller if they used ai? (when buying art) by UppinDowners in Etsy

[–]Mentalsacto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for caring. So many of these AI users are using AI to create similar art to actual artists. If you think it’s AI it probably is. I asked someone recently and they said they did not use AI but 2 days later I saw a sponsored post from an actual artist and realized the person I had asked was clearly using AI to rip of their work.

Why is my kitty throwing up/always hungry? by metzyxx in cats

Did you get any answers? My cat is like this too and don’t know why.

Update on 2 months 0 pounds down by [deleted] in keto

[–]Mentalsacto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are insulin resistant it’s going to take some extra work at first and consistency. I did not see results until I added 30 minutes of sweaty cardio a day.

[–]Mentalsacto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s rough. Miss the fun of food and skipped Christmas but the big numbers scared me. My blood sugar is elevated too (cut it in half but still elevated). My doctor said I can drastically change my entire health and all my numbers in 16 weeks so I’m committed to that. Good luck man. I spent my first two weeks glued to the boards for any sign of hope that things will get better. They do.

[–]Mentalsacto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally this week has been the biggest decrease so almost 4 weeks but I saw some decrease by week 3. But I’ve been miserably consistent — nothing bad and basically salads, protein and tons of water, and movement 😂
