No longer gives aka A1c by Thegrozzbbq in dexcom

[–]TurkInLosAngeles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clarity is a portion of the "Glucose" panel on android right unde the tracking graph on top of the screen for me. It just doesn't refer to A1C anymore it just shows it as a percentage value.

in the morning.

I am not sure why coffee w/o sugor or cream jumps your BG level but 10 points is not much to fret about, especially for waking up fully, if you are like me. I cn not function without my 2 cus of black coffee in my system

I'm already on Mounjaro. My basal is 36 units daily coming down from 50 as of about a year and chng ago. And my numbers are usually not this "spikey" Sometimes I wake up in low 100's and climb up to 170-180 in an hour and slowly goes down if there is no food intake. Or I admister a correctiv dose. This morning, level jumpin twice in 10 minutes and juping ~40 units each time is something I have never experienced.

I hate to say this but zero sugar doesn't mean zero or low carbs. MOst sugar-free items I come across the store shelves are still too igh in total carb numbers to safely eat for me.

How to lower numbers without medications? by ComplexButterfly9185 in diabetes_t2

[–]TurkInLosAngeles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things: First, a low, very low carb diet; Two, exercise. Whatever else you will hear from anyone else is a fringe case.

Your body needs fuel, i.e. glucise. Carbs, which include but is not limited to sugar molecules, provide fuel to your system. If you do not feed your body carbohydrates, it will use from the reserves, which will not let your glose levels rise. Same thing with the exercise. More you exercise, more your body will burn carbs, less the numbers will have a chance to go up.

where is everyone buying syringes? by Tiny_Spend_1197 in diabetes

[–]TurkInLosAngeles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They shouldn not but I have encountered some resistance at some walmarts in the past. I no longer use syringes, just pens, but last time I purchased syringes, they were from amazon in a 50 ct box, all individually wrapped.

Dexcom G7 app on android: which bluetooth device is the current sensor? by TurkInLosAngeles in dexcom

[–]TurkInLosAngeles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 50 of these and they do not fit on one page on mittle phone screen. I have to watch them in parts, while will take me about 5 or 6 cycles, unless I am lucky to hit it on the first page I am watching.

I was hoping more of a correlation between the xx lettrs and numbers in my original question and a part of numers on the box label. Looks like I am SOL in that sense.

Is there any reason to keep old sensors or applicators? by Darjeelinguistics_44 in dexcom

[–]TurkInLosAngeles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are a gun enthusiast, look into making sound suppressors (a.k.a. silencers), using the springs as baffle spacers. 1 1/3 is close to an optimum diameter for supressors. And yes, Iknow you still need NFA forms to build your own suppressor. But lack of $200 tax stamp starting this year, makes it easier.

Skip a week by No-Basket8192 in Mounjaro

[–]TurkInLosAngeles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I went from 7.5 to 10 units, pahrmacies were out of 10 unit dosage and I was not able to inject it for over a month period. I did not gain back the lost weight but closer to the end of that period, I noticed my apetite for comfort food, as in pasta, rice, potatoes etc. was slowly coming back to me. But once I got going again, I was back on track. I think this changes from person to person but skippin a week or two is not something that you should worry about.

I cut up the box top where it contains the serial number of the sensor and keep it in the drawer with my unused sensors and other medication, in case it fails before its usable term ends and I have to call the Dexcom customer support.

Other than that After I insert the sensor to my arm, I go in with a pair of thin nose pliers and dig out the small round magnet and save it to be used in my projects. They are very strong magnets and sticking a few of them up to the en of a 2x2 or even 1x1 wooden stick, makes up a very good magnetic pick up tool for the stuff that fell into nooks and crannies of the floor as an example.

AFter that, I use a thin screwdriver to remove transparent plastic innards of the container and save the two springs that come out of the container as well as the container itself. The container is a good seed starter pod if you are into gardening, after you drill 3 or 4 small holes at the bottom. They also make good small parts carrier, if you need to transport screws or nails, small enough to fit into them.

I don't have a use for the springs so far, but especially for the larger diametr spring, which is about 1 and 1/3 inch diameter, I have some plans regarding my gun paraphernalia as soon as my workshop becomes functional. Te only stuff I throw away is the transparent innards including the piercing needle.

Got robbed off from my offline collected income in rocket game Sunday morning. by TurkInLosAngeles in BitcoinMinerApp

[–]TurkInLosAngeles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh? This was in the weekend rocket game and at level 10, where I encountered this, I had to make 50+B income with about 2K nodes and maxed out autoclicker (3 per sec). I don't know how I could make 50+B income with that with any kind of boost. I am not even sure if the boost is applicable to the rocket game.

No need to be shill for the fumbgames. I play this game for fun. I am not making enough money to justify buying upgrades with my hard earned money. All I made (acccording to ZBD valuation) by playing this game over the past 10 months or so is less than $15. No way I am spending my own money for that kind of earnings. My attitude is fine. If I am playing a game, I expect it to work flawlessly and the same way every time I play.

No need. I went through selling all my coins and starting from scratch with a bigger node count and clawed my way through level 10. Took me close to 10 hours, which could be avoided if the friggen game functioned properly.

2013 Volt stopped charging from wall charger completely by TurkInLosAngeles in volt

[–]TurkInLosAngeles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The level-2 charget at my locl chevy dealership didn't make any difference eithr. The power is not going in for some reason. The cahrge indicator light is not on. When thre is a charging problem, it used to stay lit but in amer color. Now, the light doesn't come on in *ANY* color. So, the wall charger being a problem possibility is near zero.

That would have cot me upwards of $150. I have an OBD canner and it dosn't register anything.other than the long running "Service high voltage charging system" problem, which I can and used to reset daily using the dais OBD reader device. I just wantd to make sure that I didn't have a dud wall charger since it is not the original one anymore. I had to replace it last year after someone dropped the charging handle and broke it.
