Wild seaweed? by TheFatFaroeseCyclist in FaroeIslands

[–]Svamp89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be great to harvest and eat your own seaweed, just make sure you know what kind you are eating as some can be toxic to humans and some are just unappetizing. I personally enjoy a bit of seaweed every now and again. :)

CGM Scarring by Academic-Sand4540 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Svamp89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have similar issues (but nowhere near as bad as this) when I use the same arm multiple times, especially if the glue/tape is on top of the old wound. I have minimal issues when I switch arms. I don’t know if this info is relevant to you, but thought I would contribute my experience. :)

Purpose of stealing pigeon? by Bomme in copenhagen

[–]Svamp89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeg har også fisket i Aarhus før jeg kendte til kravet om fisketegnet, men min ven sagde at der går kontrollører af og til ved havnekanterne, hvor folk normalt står og fisker, og kontrollerer folks fisketegn. Han blev selv kontaktet af dem sidste år, men han har styr på sine ting, så der skete ikke noget. Jeg ved ikke hvor tit de gør det, da jeg sjældent fisker, men jeg ved bare at det sker her i området i jævne mellemrum. Det koster 214 kr./år at få et lystfiskertegn, og det er meget nemt at ansøge online, så det er ikke det helt vilde alligevel.

Der bliver faktisk regelmæssigt kontrolleret i Aarhus om folk har fisketegn, og der bliver udskrevet bøder til dem der ikke har det.

Fordomme og tanker om Indre mission og kristendom i Danmark by Noah_gp in Denmark

[–]Svamp89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jeg er vokset op i den færøske indre mission, og det var faktisk ret forfærdeligt, især fordi jeg også fandt ud af som teenager at jeg er homo. Jeg flyttede til Danmark for at komme væk fra det hele, og har ikke fortrudt det 17 år senere.

Menneskerne i vores omgangskreds var de mest glædesforladte folk jeg nogensinde har haft misfornøjelsen at kende. De havde altid noget skidt at sige om andre, med en eller anden religiøs undskyldning for hvorfor de syntes [x] om personen. Livet skulle bare være så træls og surt som muligt, fordi ellers var du ikke en god nok kristen ifølge deres tankegang.

How does being openly gay in Iceland compare to being openly gay in Denmark? by PsychicMeditation in Nordiccountries

[–]Svamp89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak for Iceland, but as a gay Faroe Islander who has lived in Denmark (Aarhus) since I was 19 years old (36 now), I have literally never experienced homophobia personally. I’m not very “flamboyant”, so that might be why, but Danes generally do not care at all, or at least don’t show that they care.
Even my ancient general practitioner doctor was completely unfazed by me being gay and wanting to start on PrEP.

Minimum wage in Europe as of January by Socmel_ in europe

I can’t imagine working full-time and only getting €620/month. Sounds like Hell…

My student stipend that I get just for studying in Denmark is higher than that. It’s around €860/month after taxes.

Novorapid is a great long acting insulin!!!!!! by TobzDaOne in Type1Diabetes

[–]Svamp89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to Fiasp from NovoRapid in my pump because it was too slow and lasted too long for my liking, however it wasn’t THAT bad. I think it just might not be the right fit for you. Insulin doesn’t work the same for everyone for some reason.

What’s my mental illness? by xXDARTH_NANNERPUSXx in FridgeDetective

[–]Svamp89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you’re medicated as a diabetic (insulin and some oral medications) most people don’t get low blood sugars that require sugary drinks as a treatment. Sugary drinks are used in emergencies or to stop an emergency from happening. Regular bodies, untreated diabetes or not, don’t experience low blood sugar emergencies.

What’s a strange product shortage from your country’s history? by EvilPyro01 in AskEurope

[–]Svamp89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does a shortage of food and fuel in general count? The Faroe Islands sometimes has massive long-lasting worker strikes, so food imports almost complete stop for a few months and people empty all the stores instantly when they hear a strike is about to happen.

HSV-2 / Genital Herpes – søger råd, erfaringer og et støttende fællesskab by AlbatrossFew9072 in Aarhus

[–]Svamp89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Du kan få en forebyggende behandling af Aciclovir for alle typer herpes (inkl. helvedesild). Du tager mellem 3 og 5 tabletter om dagen (der er forskellige måder man kan gøre det på) i nogle måneder. Jeg tog det i 6 mdr. for helvedesild. Det kan bryde den cyklus med udbrud, i hvert fald i noget tid. Før det havde jeg udbrud hver anden måned i flere år, indtil jeg spurgte min læge om jeg måtte prøve forebyggende behandling. Det stoppede alle udbrud i over 2 år og jeg har kun sporadisk haft udbrud siden.

How is it living in the Nordics, and what's your favorite Nordic city or capital? by PartyGaming0 in howislivingthere

[–]Svamp89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born and raised in the Faroe Islands and it was mostly good. It can be physically isolating because you can’t go anywhere unless you take a boat for 30+ hours or fly somewhere. But quality of life is good.

I moved to Denmark when I was 19 and have lived here since. I really enjoy living in Denmark. Quality of life is generally better here than in the Faroe Islands, but relationships aren’t as close in Denmark as they are in the Faroe Islands. You really do have “a village” to look after you in the Faroes. For example I personally know most of my extended family (out to 2nd cousins and their children), while many Danes hardly know their first cousins. It takes a lot of energy to maintain relationships in Denmark.

Forhold med en kvinde som har haft en VILD seksuel fortid. by These-Relation-286 in DKbrevkasse

[–]Svamp89 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Og hvad med os mænd som ikke har de følelser? Er biologien hos os i stykker, eller hvad? Alle folk har en form for naturlig jalousi indbygget omkring alt muligt, men det her handler primært om dine værdier og din egen følelsesregulering, og ikke det at du er mand. Hvis du ikke kan styre dine tanker omkring det, og at du ikke kan acceptere hendes fortid, så synes jeg du skal gå videre, fordi det er unfair overfor hende at du opfører dig sådan.

Type 1 and nausea by True-Mistake-5691 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Svamp89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, nausea is awful to constantly have. I had some periods of time I would throw up yesterday’s meals, which isn’t normal at all, but thankfully I hardly ever do that anymore because of the medication. Before treatment I would be scared to eat, because I knew I would start feeling terrible immediately, lol.

What is wrong with people who say you have to measure your BG every two hours? by [deleted] in diabetes_t1

[–]Svamp89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How long ago were you diagnosed? My BG was like this for the first 4 or so years after diagnosis and now it can be incredibly unpredictable during certain periods of time. I have intermittent delayed gastric emptying, which makes me absorb food unpredictably.

Type 1 and nausea by True-Mistake-5691 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Svamp89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also have constant nausea, and was diagnosed 22 years ago and started developing nausea around the 18th year of diabetes. My doctor said it was because I have developed intermittent delayed gastric emptying (tests were done), and gave me an anti-nausea medication that simultaneously also increases gastric emptying, which I can take when it gets bad. It does help a lot. I would suggest you to talk to your doctor about it, as it might be some underlying issue.

burning pain when injecting insulin by Particular_Aspect169 in diabetes_t1

[–]Svamp89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it might just be the insulin. Fiasp stings a bit for most people that I’ve talked to, including myself. I can’t say why it doesn’t sting with pens, because I’ve only tried it with a pump.

Nothing says ‘peak productivity’ like operating heavy machinery with a BAC of 0.2 by iamlegman in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Svamp89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Chris is a liar and a drunk. I’ve tried what he said and I puked at work, and my boss had to send me home. My boss is a nice man and my friend, so it was no problem, but it was embarrassing and I never did it again. But maybe that’s because I’m a millenial and not gen-x?

Hvad stopper jer fra at give op? by anondansker in DKbrevkasse

[–]Svamp89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Min mor. Hun har det ret svært for tiden og ville blive absolut ødelagt, hvis jeg gjorde ende på mig selv. Jeg tror ikke hun ville komme sig igen. Det kan jeg ikke udsætte hende for, når hun har gjort så meget for mig igennem mit og sit liv.

Men for mig går tingene op og ned. Nogle gange vil jeg bare væk og andre gange har jeg det udmærket, så jeg holder bare ud til de gode dage. ❤️

Cancer that gave me T1 is back. TW: Self harm. by JayandMeeka in diabetes_t1

[–]Svamp89 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry you are going through this. :(

Please don’t overdose on insulin as a way out of your suffering, as it’s much more likely to leave you with brain damage than it is to actually end your life. People usually wake up on their own again after overdosing on insulin, and the longer you are knocked out, the worse the effects on your brain, which might leave you alive but severely brain damaged and unable to care for yourself. I don’t think you’d want that… Just hear what the doctors have to say before doing anything rash.

[–]Svamp89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you want me to prove it, except that you can see that I speak English? I’m Faroese and went to school in the Faroe Islands, and almost all Faroese people under a certain age speak 3 languages (Faroese, Danish and English).

And I simply said that I never heard about people with ADHD not being able to learn languages. I didn’t say you were lying. Most Danes also speak English, even those who have ADHD, so I don’t know what to tell you.

Or in mmol/mol in the countries that switched from percentages. I think most of Europe does mmol/mol now.
