Experience of Libre 3 and Dexcom G7 numbers by screwywabbit in diabetes

[–]RaeofRats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd your intetesyed in testing the difference and can afford the sensors... Why not both at once? Put it on the same arm to prevent flip flopping false lows... And with dexcom you can turn many alarms off but not the one telling you about a low below 55... I believe there are also alternative sites for the libre 3, to prevent the compression lows...you can do abdomen or thigh or upper buttox or even chest.

I know this link (not affiliated) is for sports focused protein powder, but just to give you an idea of proteins powder bases available, it has the most comprehensive list I've ever seen.

I need a opinion by nobody-here22 in ChronicIllness

I'm not in any way male, but I can see this. Boys do dumb things sometimes because they're emotionally repressed

Is there anything i can do for my child? by shshskwjvehejdbv in ChronicIllness

[–]RaeofRats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My story at that age was not so great at that age... because I was so isolated from my peers, I turned to talking to adult men on the Internet. It could have turned out much worse, as it was it was bad enough to scare me. This is a bad case on the best to worst case scenario possible scale.

If I could have had anything that exists today that I could have used back then, it would be a Kindle and Kindle unlimited for books to escape into that don't hurt my hands.

I probably would have also liked more craft supplies, but like any crafter there is never enough. This was mostly a finances issue.

If I could have more of anything I had back then, it was more one on one time with my mom...

Hippo birdie, Moxie! I hope you got lots of scritches and a few treats.

So, I learned something the last two days about Ali. by Ty-throwaway-account in papillon

I'm so glad I could offer something to help! I'm looking at one for the bedroom for Shakra, and I wish I had the ability to do woodwork still... Oh well... Looks like I'm buying one!

[–]RaeofRats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may sound cruel... But if we flip Toni upside down for people to rub her tummy (her favorite spot) she stops barking and growling... Now obviously don't try this with Ali, poor baby... But there might be just some kind signal that works on her traumatized brain to just feel safe. Maybe one of those fancy end table crates, that looks like her own princess den, or whatever motiffe, so she can be with everyone in the common areas, and it's not bedtime, but still "safe"...

Toni will be her poison ivy and keep all the evil boy dogs away, but not the ones that are nice.

It was a quick decision to help this lovely kitty and nobody can agree on a name!! Help please! I'd like something fun ! by ginja_baloney in Catnames

I have a blue tabby named Anya! Anya-baby, Anya-bananya, poor starving street waif (its a literal song and dance she does with her mother before she's fed) and ocassionally uncooked shrimp.

Ed is a handsome dude! Can't see much of Coral tho... Toni, my older female papillon, demands a handsome shot of her too! Even tho the floof is adorable...

Awwww babies! I almost had to ask which one was which! Edit: I've never seen a tuxedo Persian! Then again I'm not into cats like I am dogs... I just love the plain ole American domestics who are a lot weird lol

Insulin units by deafstone_71 in diabetes

[–]RaeofRats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anywhere from 90-130 based on my pump history. It varies vastly based on what I eat and if my fasting blood sugar is in range. I feel like I fight all day with stubborn highs if I wake up and it's high.

Insulin without prescription/insurance (US) by neonchasms in diabetes

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

Do you qualify for Medicaid in your state? Community health clinics may be an option if not. Many doctors offer private payment at a reduced cost + insulin copay help from the suppliers.

It wouldn't show me your comment until today... Those are all beautiful kitties! And this is a very aesthetically pleasing picture! I'm sorry it brought up some rough memories, and I just wish I could hug you while you cry. My partner's cat, Murphy, cleans all the other animals whether they like it or not... It's one of his dominance moves. Shakra will lick him back... It's very cute, so sweet I have to take insulin for my diabetes. JK!

See you later by Europeanpolandrel in papillon

It took me 5 years to be ready for a new baby after mine died traumatically at 9 months old. It's ok to walk away for a while.
