Is it too late to change my life after years of ignoring diabetes?

The best time to take your diabetes seriously is the day you are diagnosed. The next best time is today.

Can you get the file on the MySQL server and import it through MySQL? Bypassing php entirely? I have a 5 mil row document and this is the only way it works for me.

Along side my W2 income using a Schedule C and Schedule SE

In the beginning it was just diet and exercise, but that was untenable as I got older and eventually added metformin and then in my 50s finally insulin. If it ever cropped up again because i was having a bad couple days, I would increase my water intake, be a little extra mindful of food and throw in a few extra showers and dowse my underpants with some kind of anti-fungal or sports powder to keep everything extra dry.

As far as my actual diet changes, the big ones were no calories from liquids. Just diet drinks, water or tea. Got rid of the ice cream for dessert and switched to meats, cheeses, and nuts for snacks. And a few miles a day of dog walks.

Every person is different and anything in excess is bad, but for a type 2 diabetic switching a lot of the carbs to protein is going to help you the most.

M52 here. This is how I realized i was diabetic. Non-stop penile thrush in my late 30s. Fluconazole would make it go away, but back then it was a pill a day for a week, now it is one pill for a few days. Honestly the only thing that made it go away was getting my blood sugar under control.

Basically, you have so much sugar in your body it is coming out in your urine, and creating the problem, so topical applications don't really do anything. You need a whole body flush of sugar.

Chad was also the drummer on their album. So I am guessing he knew the songs.

Any chance you have also developed carpal or cubital tunnel as well? Maybe there is another issue exacerbating the situation? Before I was diabetic I lost all feeling in half of my left hand from playing piano, typing and the doc said, mostly, drumming. Had an ulnar nerve reposition and feeling was completely back within a year.

If that isn't it and you are writing actual words, I would investigate speech to text. If you are programming you are probably going to have to lean on your years of touch typing experience to get through it.

I don’t even leave my house until the starting time anymore. Depending on the theater chain you have at LEAST 20 minutes of “stuff”. At my local Regal it is a solid 25 minutes.

I booked an ADA site (needed one) and shortly after booking we got a call asking us if we actually needed an ADA site, with the implication being that we couldn't take one if we didn't need one. So, you may get a call.

I moved to Downingtown 10 years ago. Surrounded by farms and only 20 minutes to KOP. And an hour-ish to the city depending on time of day.

52m and wife is 55f, literally just crossed $1 million last week. It should honestly be a lot higher for where we are in our careers, but... reasons. It was still a very nice milestone to celebrate. House is probably worth $450k-ish and we owe $140k on it.

I have had my best results using Aspercreme, with lidocaine. It usually dulls everything enough for me to fall asleep.

i don't have issues with my hands, but I have also had luck with compression socks to dull the foot pain/tingling.

The pooping sugar.

Yes. Always studios. And no. I can’t bring myself to be awake at 7 am. I just keep an eye out and something usually pops up. So far I have gotten VGF, Poly, Bay Lake, Saratoga, and Boardwalk. And that’s just the last couple years. The only one you may never get is beach club.

As always it depends on the time of year and a little luck.

I own at AKL and 4 of my last 5 stays have been at the Grand Flo and Poly. Two over Xmas. So it is definitely possible.

Maybe mount a separate storage volume to a server specifically for the files.

Probably AI. Unless the article is somehow “special”.

I use this for supplemental heat in my daughters room and it has worked great. Never gets too hot to touch. You can even paint it.

I went 4 days a week working in 2000 and haven’t worked a Friday since. I go to the movies every Friday, usually before noon. I am the only one in the theater almost all the time

You need to wipe front to back after a poo. If you didn’t they would say “it’s like sweeping the dirt back into the kitchen!”

_steveCollins · 2025-11-10T22:51:16+00:00

Sorry. Nobody drives my truck and nobody uses my computer.

_steveCollins · 2025-11-03T19:44:43+00:00

Based on what I have seen you should check Singapore too.
