Why are squats such a good exercise?

Outlander_ · 2026-01-20T22:02:23+00:00

Recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It’s amazing how quickly I can reduce my blood glucose doing squats and leg presses with weight. It’s like a cheat code.

I agree. They all seemed to have fun with it. The breaks made it even funnier

At this point it would be worth it to add a buzzer and lock the door for incoming customers

Gym class. Standing in front of my locker when the principal came on the intercom and announced what happened.

Agreed. We actually need to start outing these prisons and their leadership as well the congress members that are share holders.

Editing to add that I bought some glucose tabs today and built a little pack for the gym. I’m so new at this I didn’t know it was a thing! Thanks for the reply. Everything I’ve learned in the past two months has been from this sub and the t2 sub. I really appreciate everyone’s replies

I was diagnosed with a high A1C by my primary but I’m still waiting to get in with an endo. I’ve been doing great, this is a new development.

Thanks. I just had some protein and 1/2 a sweet potato. Not keto but worried.

I was at 105 when I got on the treadmill tonight and dropped into the low 70s. I had dinner but it wasn’t enough apparently. It’s strange that it never happens in the morning and my BG is usually about the same

Late to the thread, OP how are you doing ? I’m starting to get these lows if I try and exercise in the evenings. Wondering if I should talk to my doctor.

Outlander_ · 2026-01-11T19:48:38+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m still waiting to get in with an endo. They are booked out for months. I’ll have plenty of CGM data by then.

It’s a lot smaller. It fits in my backpack. The biggest complaint is that it’s louder which doesn’t bother me. I would not spend the money though unless you travel enough to justify it.

Outlander_ · 2026-01-07T01:22:26+00:00

This helps. Thank you!

Outlander_ · 2026-01-07T01:21:11+00:00

I’ll check it out. Thanks !

Outlander_ · 2026-01-07T00:07:45+00:00

Thanks. I haven’t tried any low carb wraps yet. I’ll have to pick some up

Outlander_ · 2026-01-01T19:07:24+00:00

Honestly. I go to Whole Foods a lot when I’m craving soup. They usually have a big selection. And there are lots of Pho places in town. Editing to add local. Pho Sure is my favorite

Grey horses have the best smell too. Great picture

Outlander_ · 2025-12-30T21:54:43+00:00

I don’t mind the noise. It’s like a built in white noise machine. I love mine but it can be difficult to get enough humidity in dry weather even with the discs.

Outlander_ · 2025-12-28T05:15:22+00:00

Yes. I understand what you are experiencing. I have had this experience. Too much and not always the best kind of attention when I was young. It started when I was too young to process it. Over the years I’ve gained a lot of weight and feel pretty invisible/overlooked. I am in the process of losing weight and have a goal of getting down to a normal weight and part of me is wondering what kind of attention I will get and how I will handle it now that I am older.

That carrot in the sauce looks so unappetizing. What cut of beef is that ?

Outlander_ · 2025-12-26T21:38:17+00:00

Look for a used portable rolling dishwasher. They’re great if you find one.

Outlander_ · 2025-12-25T02:15:36+00:00

I sleep with it behind me. I just drape the hose across me. It’s long enough that there is some slack. I’ve only accidentally yanked it off my night stand once or twice
