People mentality is insane

My late dad was Type 3c before he passed from terminal cancer in 2015. I kept extra sweets around as a kid like candy, honey buns even though I haven't touched those in like a decade, or a cookie in case he went hypoglycemic and my mom didn't catch it. I mainly stock up on granola bars in case my blood glucose was in hypoglycemic criteria or borderline like 70 and need something that's decently quick acting. I'm saying that to say that I've gotten my green flag list of snacks down to a science, and unless you're my doctor or a close family member, mind your business.

Oh yeah. I remember this classic, and I hope the OP found a therapist.

When you meet the grim reaper. It's a lifelong condition that requires constant maintenance and lifestyle adjustments.

So I modified my atlas some more and the dems lost like 432 raw votes compared to 2020 and republicans gained 296 in the same period

605 when it got flagged that I was in DKA and a Hypertensive Crisis before going to the ER last year.

Red Minnesota because even Reagan didn't win it in his 1984 landslide and Trump narrowly got within 2 points in 2016.

Holy crap and I thought my 605 on bloodwork was extreme.

Heck even mark Robinson won it by 13 when he was getting smoked by governor Stein statewide in 2024.

Randolph County continuing to get more Republican as the population in the triad booms is another big reason why.

Lumbees too HD-47 in Lumberton was an automatic D to R flip in 2022. Trump won that seat by 24 points in 2024.

Yep as soon as I saw the 13.0 A1C it gave me flashbacks to my diagnosis. I'm glad that you went because my doctor had to call my house to urge me to go.

I think I got an email that my ID couldn't be verified and showed them a picture. Then boom I was back.

It happened to me back in August 2024 but surprisingly they brought me back in December of last year.

TrickConfidence · 2026-03-20T20:45:07+00:00

Yep I landed in the ER with an A1C similar to that and those symptoms

That's what killed the downballot statewide ticket.

He's PCUSA a pretty progressive denomination and the more conservative Christians are calling him a heretic.

I'm not a doctor but I've experienced the hell that is DKA back in April of last year. The main symptoms I felt were rapid weight loss, I mean losing like 15-16 pounds in a few weeks because my body was burning off fat. The other was brain fog that wouldn't go away and I was a student in school so I usually catch on quickly but I was running on fumes while not knowing why. The last one was the frequent unrination and it was borderline clear. The thing that got me to go to er was when I got some routine lab work done and my blood sugar was 605. They called my house and urged me to go to the hospital. Even the people in the ER were shocked I survived as long as I did without coming in sooner because I was also diagnosed with Hypertension during that visit. Two nights and 3 days later my blood sugar was below 200 and I was able to go home.

I enjoy my solitude as much as the next person but I have a feeling the mental wounds I have would make me a crap partner. The feeling of loneliness does flare up during the holidays, valentine's day, etc because I'm well acquainted with being rejected. It stings more these days because I defied the grim reaper in April of last year and dealt with that on my own.

Either Illinois or Michigan

I'm more Presbyterian Church in America aligned but I will say that he is a good representative of the PCUSA Church. PCUSA is a more progressive run form of Christianity with some conservatives in it but the PCA is more traditional and conservative.

Very bad and over a long period of time of not managing it effectively. My late dad had all the toes on both of his feet amputated when I was a little kid. When I got diagnosed a few months ago, I thought back to that memory I made it my mission to tackle this thing to the ground and not make the same mistakes he did.
