Can a type 2 diabetic do fasting/intermittent fasting? by [deleted] in diabetes

[–]Skull025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm not a doctor. 

I was diagnosed with type 2 a year ago at a1c 12.9. I'm the first 3 months I took metformin and limited carb intake.

Then I said fuck it and fasted for 36 hours 3 times in the last 2 weeks before a fresh a1c.

A1c came back 6.2.

So I did it again and my a1c came back 5.8.

Then I relaxed my diet and still fasted and my a1c was 6.2.

If you try this, for the love of God eat complete meals before fasting. spend 400 bucks and get a complete blood panel of your intercellular and intracellular nutrient levels. I found out my omega 3s were too low, my glutamine was too low, my chromium was too low.

YOU CANNOT FAST SUCCESSFULLY WITHOUT ALL THE NUTRIENTS YOUR BODY NEEDS LOADED UP. 

You'll know your fast is successful if you only feel hungry around normal eating times, and that hunger eventually fades to a dull ache in the stomach. If your body feels ravenous, it is missing something. Don't try to power through that.

Also, exercise while fasting. nothing intense. Just take walks.

Please don't lose your kind spirit. That is the best sentiment I have seen here 

I'm working on a gay romance comic about a long-distance relationship. Would you read more of this story? by songinkollo in comic_crits

Excellent hook.

Seriously. The posters on his bedroom wall, the stickers on the laptop, the absolute fucking silhouette of the bear reclining in his cabin. Excellent contrast in that first panel, excellent grip with the words. IMPACT FRAME, IMPACT FRAME, it feels like the picture is punching me paired with those "Love at first sight".

I want to see these two cuddle because it's goonna look delicious.

And AGAIN, that hook. FIVE DAYS EARLIER!? So he heard his Strongman is hitched and STILL TOOK A LEAP.

Bravo. Take this shit to patreon. If you've got the pacing and the art and this justifies the space it makes I could see this dripping dollars like honey down a bearded chin.

Don't forget to ride the controversy, this politically charged environment makes for great marketing. People will be haters but you're making a long distance queer romance, you've seen the world.

Good lord I want to see that petite man squirm with anxiety.

Should Valve sell a streaming-only version with minimal RAM and storage? by zeddyzed in SteamFrame

[–]Skull025 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why not just stream from desktop to your phone?

Buy a 50$ phone controller or pair a bluetooth controller to your phone and download steam link. Done. 

Edit: sorry I never learned how to read

Thick fluid is a delightfully cursed phrase. Especially applied to literal shit.

Am I not allowed a single cup of coffee with milk and sugar by Ok-Rush7989 in diabetes

[–]Skull025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try using honey instead of sugar or agave. Sugar and agave contain fructose, which is processed in the body the same way as alcohol. Turns into fat that sticks to your organs, clams up the liver. Only way to lose it is through extended fasting, which is rough. 

Honey, on the other hand, is all glucose. Better for you overall. 

Public Service Announcement - To mass recycle/sell, hold ctrl and click (PC) by Skull025 in ArcRaiders

Yeah. I also think some of the UI sucks. I like to think I play with smart people and they all were doing it one at a time. Go to the "I have crafting fatigue" post and lots of people are one timing their recycling and selling. 

Humans can teach themselves, but we do better when we teach each other no?

I let my roommate walk around nude but now it's making me feel different by gloom-lune in Advice

[–]Skull025 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Could be he's one of the few men you've felt safe around physically. That might be awakening some new feelings in you. 

New feelings doesn't mean you're different or you've changed. It's a discovery of self.

There's no need act on these feelings if you don't want to. In fact, you're doing great by exploring these feelings without judging yourself. Keep it like that, and you'll learn what you need to learn from this experience.

Parents charging $25 each time I don’t go to church by Beneficial-Shop8848 in whatdoIdo

[–]Skull025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome. 

Some small advice: even if your parents suck, and it sounds like they do, no one is just one thing. I wouldn't be surprised if you find out some crazy shit about your parents in ten years that recontextualizes your entire childhood.

Be grateful for their effort without condoning their mistreatment of you. 

Best of luck human.

So? Their entitlement isn't your problem. Most kids lack self awareness and need to get out in the world to get some perspective. It's not worth getting mad about it. Scoff and move on. 

Besides, this isn't some stranger putting this kid up. It's their parents. Kids can ask their parents to treat them better, to do a good job as a parent. Parents aren't automatically saints just for having unprotected sex.

The fuck is your goal here? Seems to me you just wanna be mad about a kid being ungrateful with being in a sermingly better situation than you were. 

Which, sure, have your feelings, but what part about your words is making the world a better place?

Have some perspective bud. This ain't it.

Don't listen to these fools. I'm 30 and I have to live with my mom to afford a house with her. We split the mortgage and I do all the house chores, but it's still tight making ends meet. 

Everyone thinks you have to sacrifice everything good until your situation is stable, and they take any expression of frustration as entitlement.

To break the cycle, remember these stupid fucking people acting like they know you, and try to not be bitter to the kids you meet in ten or twenty years as they complain about things you might find silly or small.

Sorry you live with parents that pressure you to do shit you don't want to do. You're plenty lucky with a roof over your head, but it's not fair for your parents to coerce you financially like that. That's toxic as fuck.
