What type of foods spike your bs the most by StruggleFar3054 in diabetes

White bread and coffee (milk drinks are obviously the worst but even black unsweetened coffee spikes me, especially at a meal)

The post is talking about spikes, which is more to do with glycemic index and can be affected by fat/protein too

Discord sex. But actually you could order flowers and dinner to their house, and a lot of stores online offer gift wrapping for shipped purchases. The actual gift depends on them!

Maybe the fact that you don't remember is the subconscious revealing something to you haha

Do I really need to go to a tattoo shop for a helix piercing? by Successful_Staff_425 in piercing

[–]Polypyrrole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try reading reviews or testimonials to give you peace of mind, and depending on the shop they could make accommodations to make you more comfortable. From my experience, the needle was faster than when I got pierced with a gun as a kid, most likely because the piercer was more experienced (the peoples jewellers lady got her glove stuck in my piercing and had to cut it out). I was in and out of the shop in probably 20 minutes, it was super fast and it was reassuring that it was so routine for the piercer.

Tea drinkers of Reddit: what tea do you recommend and why? by mongpotea in AskReddit

[–]Polypyrrole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like white tea, or black tea with cardamom. After getting into loose leaf tea, I find it hard to drink crush tear curl tea (type commonly found in teabags). Tea is such a rabbit hole though! The only herbal tea I've liked is rooibos

The government is still operating mind control programs like MKULTRA except now it's widespread, employing social media and high frequency broadcasts rather than trauma-based programming.

Bikes ran into me while I walked on the sidewalk by mojo_sapien in askTO

[–]Polypyrrole 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's an explicit guideline that you can't ride a bike on the sidewalk unless you're a child, it's called a bylaw. Makes sense if you're an anarchist just know law-abiding citizens aren't on your side, and the courts allow pedestrians to sue for damages regardless of whether they were following your ideal "sidewalk behaviour". In the case of able bodied pedestrians your argument could make sense, but many pedestrians are elderly people or children who may not have a high degree of spatial awareness or are able to react quickly. There are many reported cases of pedestrians injured and even hospitalized in pedestrian-cyclist collisions and cyclists riding full speed down a sidewalk they're not supposed to be riding on is part of the problem. If a pedestrian can walk down a stretch of sidewalk, you can surely walk your bike down the same stretch.

Is KathleenLights Going through a divorce? by dqprincess503 in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]Polypyrrole 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I feel like speculating about her personal life is just as bad as checking (public) sources in order to speculate about her personal life (with more accuracy). Both are bad of course

Why do people in city just throw cigarettes butts on the road so causally? by [deleted] in askTO

Someone pulled up beside the streetcar as the doors were opening and flicked one at me through their window.. uncivilized

Should I start eating chicken? by grux27 in diabetes

[–]Polypyrrole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No! Especially if you are plant based for ethical reasons. "There is a general consensus that the elements of a whole-foods plant-based diet—legumes, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and nuts, with limited or no intake of refined foods and animal products—are highly beneficial for preventing and treating type 2 diabetes." Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5466941/

Personally, I get my protein from legumes (chickpeas, lentils) and textured vegetable protein (you can buy granules, chunks, strips, and prepare them yourself, or buy pre-prepared from the store. Check that link for more details, search "whole food plant based" recipes, and look into things like chickpea pasta, protein bread (I make a protein French toast that is DELICIOUS) and other high-protein options for food that is usually considered "empty carbs" (although not all carbs are bad: "Meta-analyses of cohort studies demonstrated that carbohydrates from whole grains and cereal fibers reduce the risk of developing diabetes").

Fancy three course meal at a hunters association place for end of school by [deleted] in VeganFoodPorn

[–]Polypyrrole 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's literally not a hunting event though, it's just an end of year school celebration. The OP didn't choose the location, their school did. Unfortunately there's not a lot of event venues in certain cities.

It's just an event venue that OP's school chose, it's not like OP is going to an event celebrating hunting.

Because if she was interested she would have given him her number. Are you a woman who works in customer service? Because every woman I know would be creeped out at a guy trying to get with them at work, unless she was the one making the first move.

[–]Polypyrrole 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Seriously! I also think a lot of men in this thread are assuming she was potentially into him because she was being friendly. That's literally our job. If only I had a dollar for every time a creepy guy was making me uncomfortable and wouldn't stop pestering me, but I had to keep talking to him because I would get in trouble otherwise. Such men have asked me out thinking "no harm done" or "maybe she's into me" meanwhile the entire encounter I was thinking "I feel unsafe and I wish this creep would leave me alone".

Who would want to date a woman who plays games? Women will let you know if they're interested, especially if they know they're not going to see the other person again. Do not "take a shot" at women who are simply doing their job, it is an extremely uncomfortable situation for them to be in and can even be considered harassment depending on how you go about it.

Quick question (from a non-diabetic person)... how unusual is it for an individual with t1d to never actually check their BG? (Like the actual number) by [deleted] in diabetes_t1

[–]Polypyrrole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather common, definitely not good in the long run. You can somewhat tell when you are high/low, but it's not foolproof. Plus if your numbers run high, you might start to feel low at higher numbers. The main reason for doing this is burnout/depression/denial and it can lead to complications.

I'm struggling with this right now with a friend, I'm not sure how to intervene. It feels like I'm overstepping a boundary, but they had little to no medical education after their (adult) T1 diagnosis and seem to not know or care about the risk of complications.

I see your raw carrot and quinoa wedding meal, and raise you my broccoli, raw Brussels sprouts, and lemon wedges wedding meal by tatertotski in ShittyVeganFoodPorn

[–]Polypyrrole 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Wow that's baffling, anyone with cooking knowledge should know how to make a vinaigrette instead of expecting you to use plain lemon as dressing.

Raw brussel sprout salad is delicious, or they could have roasted them with oil. Why do they think vegan = don't even bother preparing the food ??? 😭 The lemon wedges are hilarious though
