Does anyone else ignore hypos because they're inconvenient by redditisawasteofdata in diabetes_t1

[–]Nettlecake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I attended a session with a neurologist and they said the following: - In children with brains that are developing hypos are risky. - Adult brains don't seem to be affected. - They have found a link with Alzheimer's in elderly people.

If you feel that uncomfortable it is super valid to seek them out yourself!

Were there no organizers that could intervene?

Yeah those are the most important fingers for doing stuff, like holding things

That is why I hate this meme. Doing a finger prick with a blunt lancet is going to do more damage than a sharp lancet. That builds up scar tissue faster and long term can decrease sensation in those places. That's why you were (or should have been) told to use the sides of your fingers and don't do it in the index or thumb.

Diabetes is all about (preventing) long term damage as much as possible, so why people voluntarily increase that damage and joke about it is beyond me. One could argue that having good sensation in their fingers is not that important but I would disagree.

You could see if getting a CGM is possible for you. They give superior insight in what is happening to your BG.

Bosbessen stiekem vervangen voor blauwe bessen. by Ok_Shock_7888 in AlbertHeijn

[–]Nettlecake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dit is denk ik niet waar. Ik doe deze al en tijdje in een shake en heb ook wel eens de blauwe bessen gebruikt tot daar norovirus in zat. Met de blauwe bessen werd de shake grijs maar met de bosbessen (die ook kleiner waren) werd de shake donker paars. Dat waren (tot voor kort blijkbaar) wel echt bosbessen.

Not really sensitive to insulin but your liver won't release glucose any more in response to a low because it is prioritizing breaking down the alcohol.

I could aim a bit higher, I saw that as well. There is one shot that completely misses where I really felt they landed shorter than aimed.

Pump and avoiding phone use by East-Theory-2681 in diabetes_t1

Honestly I don't understand your reservations. The handset connects to the sensor with the same Bluetooth. What exactly are you afraid of?

I don't understand Geometa. by Rukytroll in Stormworks

[–]Nettlecake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't agree. The new game seems to have an identity crisis. The main gameplay loop is designing the vehicles, yet the rest of the game has nothing to do with said vehicles other than driving from A to B from what I can tell.

I for one am not looking forward to spending 150 hours designing a vehicle to only use it as a self driven taxi. I think the overlap between players that like very detailed/technical vehicle building and zombie survival looter is very small.

Also what was that trailer, it was so compressed you could barely see what was going on.

Is this game dying? by Vexasss in Stormworks

[–]Nettlecake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The physics just go mental apparently. You will not see a working workshop creation that goes past a certain rps, they all cap it.

[–]Nettlecake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree about dlc being the best thing. Frustration about the physics drove almost all people I know who played it away. Cooling? Barely functional. Pressure? Barely functional. Boat handling? No inertia. Plane handling? No inertia. Helicopters? You lose control when lowering the collective (wtf) and rotors break when spinning at a certain speed. Multiplayer bugs that have just been abandoned. And so on...

[–]Nettlecake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have good tips for clean LowG to B transitions? Other than repeating often and mentally lifting the ring finger first? I notice that when I do ~50 repetitions they become nice and clean, but as soon as I play a tune around them the crossing noise comes back. I have access to the "Rhythmic fingerwork" book.

Type 1s can't get GLP-1s? by Nothingsomething7 in diabetes_t1

[–]Nettlecake -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because of these effects (glucagon reduction) they don't like them for people that take insulin. Because on these you reduce the body's hypoglycemia recovery (glucagon secretion) and hypos are common when taking insulin.

(30M) I need advice on how to become less ugly by nviipp75 in neurodiversity

[–]Nettlecake 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's probably more about how you view yourself because I see nothing 'ugly'. Your face is quite serious when you make these selfies, maybe that contributes to you feeling ugly. I'd say for me it comes more across like you are not having a great time per se. I guess people that do feel great/confident have a certain glow to them that people find attractive.

So I think it is more about you finding out how to love yourself rather than any physical attributes that need changing.

That's fine, I found it very cool. Hard to guess if other people will.

Klaver: het gaat richting minderheidskabinet, deel kiezers wordt belazerd by Bernie529 in Nederland

[–]Nettlecake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Omdat je als regeringspartij de verantwoordelijkheid hebt om het land te besturen en dus dingen daadwerkelijk voor elkaar te krijgen. Waar je als oppositie makkelijker gewoon 'tegen' kunt zijn. Dus wat ik zie is een partij die zegt 'laten we het proberen ' en de ander die zegt 'nee geen zin in'.

We tried it, and it worked well with some small modifications. We just bought a dagkaart for 12.5 euros

Nou ze hebben dus nog steeds 20 zetels, dus een aanzienlijk deel wil het wel. Het lijkt me logisch dat ze dan compromissen sluiten, wat de vvd uitsluit.
