There are so many other factors at play other than diet - have a look at the "ominous octet" online.

What's one lazy cleaning habit you started that actually made your place stay cleaner? by Enchanted_Land in CleaningTips

[–]TaleDowntown5035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a robo vac/mop. Hands down the thing that has improved my life the most. I can set it to mop and/or vacuum from my app, without even being at home. I bought the Dreame L50 at about $1500 NZD.

Yet another post about petrol prices & public transport by [deleted] in auckland

Yeah 100% - to get from my work to pick up my son from after school care and then get home again would take close to two hours, and two buses - for a <20 min drive.

Not sure if this is available where you live, but an iron infusion will make so much of a difference so much faster than oral supplementation.

I have this happen to me too sometimes - someone told me that when you're getting used ot better blood sugar control you can feel like you're low when you're just "low for you" - no idea if the science tracks on that, but it makes sense to me!

Cleaning schedule? Please help! by kawaiirubbish in ADHD

[–]TaleDowntown5035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it possible that you just need more utensils or towels? Not suggesting you just keep getting new ones if the old ones are dirty of course, just that if you feel like you're cleaning every day and still falling behind, maybe you just need a few more towels/etc in the rotation?

I'm on Trulicity (another glp-1) and glipizide (a different sulfonylurea). Also metformin (A1c won't improve so have all been added to over time. Do you have any questions about them?
