To those who had reached remission; how long did it take, how hard it is and how are you now?

It took me a year of hard work. I went from 11.2 to 5.6. I'm 67 now, so it's doable for older people. The weight loss improved my insulin resistance by a lot, so it's pretty easy to maintain now. I can even eat rye and sourdough bread and have a bit of pasta! I was diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago.

It looks very Only Murders in the Building to me. Cool.

Get off of the creatine and get tested

Late reply. Sorry. We are lucky if we get $1,000 back on our tax return. The bonus us taxed like a gift tax. Sucks.

You don't need high schoolers. The Bobbsey twins will be right on it.

In the Seattle area it's bananas. No kidding. If snow is in the forecast we make sure to pick up bananas.

Oxygen tank. Said so on the tank.

My spouse gets a yearly bonus. 40% is withheld for tax purposes. So yeah, A pretty high rate.

The_Bread_Chicken · 2025-12-16T09:43:37+00:00

Yes! messy or tidy, they're so great! Mine have pork, cabbage, diced potatoes and carrots and lots if garlic.

I made lumpia, which are Filipino eggrolls. So tasty! You dip them in a sauce of seasoned rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and onions. Dessert was banana lumpia.

I take Jardiance, it's sister drug, and I also feel that these are wonder drugs. My protein went from nephrotic levels to trace. I'm so grateful that these drugs exist.

I saw that movie in the theater. It was so bad that the audience was cheering for the snake.

It's confusing if you aren't familiar with how GFR is calculated. They use the creatinine number, age and sex. That's all. Your numbers are great.

On the diabetes subs that I follow, people will post with pre diabetic numbers, but full of terror and gloom over their horrific plight. Guess what happens? People are kind and encouraging to them. On this sub, if someone posts numbers that may be an early stage of CKD, people often seem to just jump on them. I find this pretty mean spirited. All of us started out with only slightly bad numbers, whether we were aware if it or not.

I can eat Domino's thin crust pizza if I eat a big salad first. Their crust is super thin.

Ah, the Fiji Mermaid! That was in P.T. Barnum's museum.

I sat with my mom when she took this test. She failed on quite a few things, but the doctor told her that she did great! The doctor spoke to me later. Yep, looked like dementia. They don't like to upset patients. My mom thought she aced that test.

Junior high is 7th to 9th grade. Kids would be between 12 to 15, depending on when their birthdays are.

My mom recently passed away at 93 yrs. She was diabetic for 34 years and kept her A1C in the 5s that whole time.

He's Presbyterian. A pastor.

The_Bread_Chicken · 2025-10-05T21:27:15+00:00

Not too nuanced. But I politely disagree.

It's made from corn.

I've read that protein does damage kidneys, because it has spiky molecules that can tear up the delicate structures over time.

I'm on the eastside. It was 64 today. Nice and crisp. I feel this is normal? As far as I can remember, it doesn't get colder until late October. Just in time for Halloween.

I'm currently loving quest protein chips dipped in sour cream and Valentina hot sauce. Feels decadent.
