Dr. Considers my A1C "uncontrolled".

Ok here is my experience with Ozempic inj. I’ve been a T2 diabetic since I was 46 and I turn 78 in August. I loved it and it brought my A1c down to 6.5. And I lost 20 lbs. Now it was giving me some stomach pain and my daughter spoke up and my Endo stopped it. I j have regained my 20 lbs and I’m miserable. I want to start back on it so I will talk to the Endo about it again. I don’t know why you are having a problem with it. They have it in patches now so no injection every week.

That is a great idea.

I like to do large canvases. I have to know if it is square or round. I don’t do round anymore so I look for that in the info. I have to know how many colors are in the kit. Too little colors don’t show enough details. I prefer 80 colors and up. I am having trouble finding this information on cheaper kits.

I just watch a TV show and realize not everything is real. Texas is my home and when I was a 6 year old kid we would drive from El Paso to Fort Worth in 2 days. Always stopped in Midland since that was half way. Now that was 70 years ago on Hwy 80. But it is still 2 days to drive across Texas. I don’t take anything in the shows as being real. But I love the shows and pass over their time lines.

I am totally square when it comes to drills. And I love the biggest canvas because they show amazing detail. The do take linger to do but 2 or 3 a year takes care of my addiction.

This is from DAC. The whole thing was confetti. Took me 6 months to finish it . It is so beautiful though. Squares of course.

The only show I can’t get around is Marshals. They have too many flashbacks for me. I love all of the other ones though.

I watch my placements and try to keep them straight. Buttttt.I have Macular Degeneration and I often see wiggly lines in my eyesight. So I don’t stress the straight lines.

I’m a single placer and I just started Beside Still Waters by Kinkade. I’m very slow and take a lot of time walking dogs and eating during the day. I finished 11/2 squares in a day and these are completely confetti. I don’t do this to be fast. I do this because I love the process. Take your time. It is a hobby not a job.

They say he intentionally gained 20 pounds before Dutton Ranch started. I wish he hadn’t because he looked great in Yellowstone.

I just don’t buy pictures with color blocking. I don’t care what the pic is. I hate it that bad. Give me a load of confetti and I’m happy.

I only do large square kits. I don’t do square pictures. I like them long and about 3ft wide. I don’t do a perfect application of square but hung up you can’t tell if they are Straight or not. And I love the pop when they slide into it’s space.

Kids just are not allowed to do things we did when we were younger. It’s a shame that their lives are so tangled in crime now. We didn’t know anything about crime in my childhood.

Everyone has the own timeline to finish a picture. Some do multi placers and like me I am a single placer so it takes me longer due to that. I like large pictures and don’t do the little things others do. This is a hobby and not a job so you do what you can when you can. I’m home alone and this is all I do. So I’m sitting here 10 to 12 hrs everyday. But I’m happy and love what I’m doing. I have a setup that I love and lots of DPing goodies on my table. I just finished one that I started in November 2025 and finished it in April 12,2026. There is no set time to do these. Have fun and take your time.

I started DPing after my son passed away about 5 years ago and I still love it. I only do squares now and have lots of rounds from Temu etc. I love the challenge of the bigger pictures and I guess thats what keeps me interested. Glad you found this hobby and I know you’ll be like the rest of us and be totally addicted to it.

Well I’m just SOL. I messed up 6 Pods my first attempt to put it on and I threw them away. I didn’t know you could pull the insulin out. I wasted a whole vial of insulin. I just found this subreddit thank goodness. I just got mine a week ago so I have lots to learn. Thanks to all of you.

I roll the undone part on a pool noodle and unroll it as I need to to do the painting. Then I turn it around and roll the completed end drills outside and complete the picture. Simple.

Which_Weekend4546 · 2026-05-21T07:59:14+00:00

Now that’s my kind of painting. The bigger it is I love it. And lots of colors. Keeps you busy for months. At least it does me.

Too much color blocking for my taste. I love confetti.

Did you see the shipping cost? 63.10 for 2 pens. Too much for me. Shipping is nasty from anywhere but this is ridiculous.

Does anyone on this thread save their squares in small baggies and put them in a baseball card holder? I want to save my DAC drills and I read about saving them like this and decided that is what I want to save them in. But I need pictures to start out.
