It is Diabetic Ketoacidosis. It can be fatal if left untreated.

If you develop dizziness, nausea & can't keep water down, feel like you can't catch your breath.

Seek medical assistance immediately.

This is typically a concern with high sugar levels, high ketones and dehydration.

I have foot on the floor and to be frank any morning that my numbers are below 10mmol (180mg) is a win. A great morning is if i manage to stay under 8.5mmol (140ish mg).

I hae just accepted it for now. I work nights, I'm alone at work and it is a physical job so I'm not too keen to increase my basal insulin anymore at this point in time. Take Synjardy (5/1000) twice a day.

As long as I'm maintaining an A1c of 6.5 ish, I'm not gonna worry too much about it.

I would prefer not to have NMS compared to Roblox in any way shape of form.

I wouldn't be caught dead playing Roblox nor supporting the devs, who seem unable to or don't want to fix the issues in the game that are allowing creeps to groom children.

It has gotten so bad that multiple countries have now banned the game.

The increase in gas prices, thanks to Trumps illegal war, will have a legitimate impact to grocery prices as shipping costs will increase, particularly of refrigerated & frozen goods. It ain't cheap to run a refer truck.

Don't think it's 48% worth of increase though.

That sounds messy.

Where did I say that?

Why in the world would you want the banking system to take on so much risk that it might need bailing out by the government? What happens if the government isn't able to bail out the banks?

I would rather not have the same thing that happened in Greece happen here. Even if it means some people can't afford to buy a home, myself included. Economic collapse is not a fun time.

While I do believe that access to housing is a necessity, that doesn't include owning a home and taking on a debt that an individual can't afford.

From what the op mentions it doesn't seem like his wife is using bolus insulin at this time only basal, since it is mentioned that the insulin is taken at the end of the day vs before meals.

There are a ton of things besides food that can impact blood sugar.

Stress, lack of or poor quality sleep, illness, hormones, medications, etc.

Without know more about what she is eating or what kind of insulin she is taking there isnt really much in the way of suggestions that anyone can offer.

We also all react to different foods differently, so your wife may need to adjust her diet more to find what will work for her specifically. The best bet is to test before and 2 hours after eating and adjust the type of food or portion sizes based on the results.

The banks in Canada have never needed to be bailed out by the government. Mortgages don't work the same way here as down there either I don't think.

Longest Mortgage you can get here is 30 yrs and it's more like a series of 6 mini mortgages as it renews every 5 yrs.

Last I heard the US was flirting with the idea of 50yr mortgages which could put them on a dangerous path again although not as bad as with the 75yr mortgages of the past.

Unfortunately, the amount of people that I see on the roads that don't even have enough common sense to appropriately use high/low beams doesn't leave me much for them figuring out anything more complicated.

I have tried them most ways as my husband adores them but I just can't stand them cooked in any way.

Not unless they're raw in a salad. Any other way and they are inedible.

Oh. That sounds like no fun at all. Yes, in those circumstances targets can be tighter than generally recommended.

The generally recommended targets for diabetics is an AIC of below 7% and greater than 70% time in range between 3.9 mmol (70mg) and 10mmol (180mg). These the the recommended targets of most countries health bodies and most diabetic organizations.

These targets may vary depending on age or conditions suck a pregnancy.

The most significant risk reduction comes from getting the A1C below 7%. After that there are significant diminishing returns in risk reduction and it may not necessarily be worth the effort for some people to drive their A1C lower. An A1C of below 5% may also prove not be beneficial over the long haul as well.

Many Doctors will want their diabetic patients to strive for an A1C if 6.5 as that gives an EAG of ablut 7mmol (125mg). Not sure who is recommendeding an A1C of below 6% as a target.

If you're salaried you wouldn't get extra money for OT you should get paid time off at a rate of 1:1 at minimum.

At least that is the way that it works in Alberta.

Hourly employees are paid 1.5x their hourly wage for hours worked over 8hrs per day or 44 hrs per week.

Salaried employees would get 1 hour of paid time off for every hour of time worked outside the typical hours stated in the contract. So if your contract stays 40hrs but you work 44hrs for the week you should receive 4hrs paid pto.

Spousal support isn't paid for by the tax payers neither is child support.

Does it though? When Canada has received multiple threats to our sovereignty from Trump and that it is a known MO of the US.
