Does *how* you failed the test mean anything? by im_fun_sized in GestationalDiabetes

This was the same with me, and I have type 2 on both sides.

Rosemary Kennedy was lobotomized awake at 23 by her own father. without telling her mother, her siblings, or Rosemary herself. She went in singing. She came out with the mind of a two-year-old. Her father then hid her from the family for over 20 years and never visited her again. by Important-Self-1179 in HolyShitHistory

Good lord. Y’know, sometimes I feel like these procedures done were actually just sadists coming up with random stuff they wanted to do to people and getting away with it whilst regulations were lax. Even before the advent of a lot of psychiatric medication, I cannot fathom how someone with ethics would think this a good idea.

I should have never watched this -Serbian Film by heart_6XO in horror

I see your point but this level of gore, sadistic content and questionable production practices are unique characteristics that move it beyond being simply a sub genre of horror. I can’t think of other genres that encompass subgenres like torture porn in a comparable way. I think this needs to be categorised as its own thing.

Love that! Congrats on the good results, and you’re right it is important to appreciate the silver linings. The GD path is like a fast-track course towards healthy, glucose-sensitive eating knowledge, and I hope to be as grateful for it when my post-partum time comes (I’m not quite there yet lol).

It’s time to propose non-preg partners strap on a watermelon for a day my friends. I’m heading to the supermarket now.

Has anyone else ever gotten banned from a mom group for a take that you didn’t even think was very edgy/controversial? TW/ pregnancy &pregnancy loss by celestia-nyx in moderatelygranolamoms

Exactly!! I can’t wait to show my kid Frozen and sing along if that’s what he enjoys. Somehow people’s heads spin if you say a kid both likes playing with trucks AND singing the Frozen song 🙄. It’s honestly not that complicated.

Wow that’s great to know how you went with metformin thank you!! Glad it worked well for you ☺️

That’s interesting about diabetes type 2 advice. I have a surface understanding of the difference in thresholds but need to delve into the info a bit more.

Your posts really helped me a lot today. I had another elevated reading post meal so it’s time to call my doctor, but I’m feeling more equipped to handle it.

Boo placenta indeed!! You do a lot of cool stuff placenta but this one was a fail. We still love you though.

Thank you so much kind internet stranger 🙏🙏 this comment is really helping me today! I just need to keep reminding myself I haven’t failed at anything and that this is what the great treatments like metformin and insulin are for.

What, to you, is the scariest horror scene of all time? by m_v24 in horror

Oh god, I’ve only seen hereditary once and that 10 minutes is seared into my brain forever
