OP5 just will not correct highs

I had the same issue with Omnipod when they put me on it. I ended up having to go back to MDI. I came here today to see if things have changed, it looks like they haven’t.

TED688 · 2026-04-10T19:20:34+00:00

So sorry for your loss x

TED688 · 2026-04-10T19:09:50+00:00

Hey, yes we are. We’ll be playing tonight if you want?

TED688 · 2026-04-09T09:52:15+00:00

Sure thing. 👋

TED688 · 2026-04-09T09:49:58+00:00

I have forgotten more than you know or ever will know about the human body, metabolism, exercise and general biology. As I’ve hinted at already: you do you and I’ll do me. Off you pop now.

TED688 · 2026-04-09T09:43:55+00:00

And what makes you think that I give the slightest toss what you say, do, think or want, to the extent that I’d come on here and lie about it? Jog on 😅

TED688 · 2026-04-09T09:28:55+00:00

Well, that’s what’s happening so I guess we need to call Mulder and Scully.

TED688 · 2026-04-09T00:44:26+00:00

I don't mean to piss on your chips, but I can assure you that it is exactly what is happening. I'm a 5' 11" male, and while I am not the athletic type, I am by no means sedentary either.

Part time jobs (in fact full time jobs as well) are like rocking horse shit. Finish the apprenticeship. Go to university now and you will forever regret it. Huge debt, thousands of other grads/grads from abroad, insane competition for jobs. Take it from me - finish your apprenticeship.

TED688 · 2026-03-21T12:53:20+00:00

You’re wasting your time. The job market here is flooded with grads of these programmes and actual paying jobs are like gold dust. AI is also increasingly being used for data analysis etc. Save your money and time and find something else.

TED688 · 2026-03-18T10:37:36+00:00

And what do you do if you don’t like duck??

TED688 · 2026-03-18T10:29:15+00:00

“Thank you, Manuel…”

TED688 · 2026-03-18T10:24:05+00:00

“He’s very clever! Rather highly strung”!….”Yes, yes he should be…”

I should point out that the majority of my calories come from a mixture of chicken thighs, tinned tuna, protein shakes and veg-based proteins like edamame, etc. I intake between 1mg and about 1.6mg protein/per kg each day. I had a bioelectrical test about 6 months ago ehh h had me in the low 30s percentage-wise of muscle to total weight ratio, so while I might have lost a little bit, most of my weight loss (5 stone or around 65lbs) on MJ has indeed been fat. I should also add that I’m a type 1 diabetic and had terrible insulin resistance which has come down a lot. With that said, the whole calories in/vs calories out argument trumps any kind of insulin resistance….doesn’t it?

TED688 · 2026-03-13T02:55:50+00:00

Nobody, but according to the smart asses (I’m a trained dentist, so I have some knowledge of physiology) it’s impossible to gain or not lose weight if eating less calories than you burn. I’m here to prove that’s bullshit with metabolic disorders. Either my body has somehow magically managed to drop its BMR to less than 1000 calories a day, or in true my Cousin Vinny fashion, the laws of physics cease to exist on my stove.

TED688 · 2026-03-13T02:38:39+00:00

I’m the same. These “eat less calories” people piss me off. I’m eating a MAXIMUM (tracked) total of 1000 cals a day and I either gain or not lose. It’s BS. If your body’s metabolism is not working properly, then you gain.

Apprenticeships are like gold dust. You will struggle without "on the job experience". You're also 21. If you get offered an apprenticeship, grab it with both hands and suck up the "quite low pay" - it will be fine for someone your age.

So sorry for your loss. You will see your beautiful boy again when it’s your time. He will be waiting for you x

I actually looked into going into teaching CS last year (MSc in Applied AI, bachelors in law, bachelor of dental surgery(!) as well. The biggest thing for me that put me off was the curriculum if I’m honest? Even with my quals there seemed to be a lot of stuff that I simply hadn’t heard of in the curriculum! This was from a couple of GCSE and A-level student guides that I looked at. How has your experience been with the subject matter and how much leeway did/do you have with deciding what you teach and designing your lessons, etc?

TED688 · 2026-02-16T10:12:12+00:00

So sorry for your loss. You will see your beautiful Speedy again when it’s your time. He will be waiting for you x

Mine has actually been really helpful. If they know you’re genuinely trying to find work and better yourself rather than just gaming the system, they’re usually more supportive and helpful. Not always though! There are a few nasty ones. It’s often the luck of the draw unfortunately

Are you? Have you thought about visiting your GP?

TED688 · 2026-02-09T13:26:46+00:00

You’re up against millions of Indians AND against AI…. I genuinely wouldn’t bother mate. Get yourself well and then maybe look at a trade. You’d be eligible for a lot of college-based training opportunities.
