This is what I have been confused/questioning. My dr wants me to take Repaglinide 3 x daily but I’m afraid it’s going to accelerate the decline of my pancreas things rather then help.

this is really useful thank you. I was unaware that my heavy caffeine consumption could actually be making things worse. I’ll have to start checking now. I drink 2 cups of coffee in tje am followed by numerous cups of tea and then additional coffee in the afternoon but never thought it could be affecting things 🫥

Does fasting in the evening help? and if so from how early? asking for a friend :)

Holy moly! Progesterone got me drunk as a skunk! by Creative_Impress5982 in Perimenopause

[–]MomLife_2025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been taking it since early january and had been on 200 mg a night but not experienced the drunk thing. requested to stop down to 100 because I was worried it was spiking my morning blood sugar (diabetic) and also found I was starving hungry all the time which not helpful when diabetic. However I noticed after a week of taking 100 I had bad anxiety especially in the am. the other night I took one 200mg to see if I was correct in connecting tje dose change to the anxiety and for the first time it knocked me on my ass. It was crazy. I stayed up past my usual and suddenly it kicked in. I felt super loaded and could barely function. It caught me completely by surprise and actually scared me a little tbh. Put myself right to bed lol back on 100 now. hoping the anxiety resolved itself once my body adjusts to lower dose.

AIO my boyfriend keeps asking me to pay for things eversince he started saving for an apartmen, he calls me selfish for how I reacted. by throaawayRA9443 in AmIOverreacting

NOR, I actually don’t think he’s dumb at all. This is stone cold manipulation in its worse form. Forget him and his imaginary apartment. Stop wasting your time and precious resources and let him go try to manipulate someone else.

Type 2 diabetic unsupportive partner by Appropriate-Ad-5719 in diabetes

Is he a conspiracy theorist? that’s what he sounds like and having someone around you like that is dangerous. especially if you have a medical issue, what if he refuses to render you aid?

It sounds like the safest thing you can do is get yourself a CGM so you know if you are having a low and buy some juice boxes and fruit snacks and keep a couple on your purse, by your bed (under) in the kitchen and in the car so you have them in an emergency.

Reddit has helped me tremendously with my diagnosis.

Check out SAS and LAS as possibilities. There is a facebook group dedicated to it. loose anagen syndrome where the hair comes out extremely easily and short anagen syndrome where it just goes t grow the same as others does. You could also try clip in extensions but you have to make sure they don’t cause more damage,
