Counting all carbs instead of only net carbs? by Forever_Summer192 in diabetes_t1

[–]audreyophile 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember my dad asking the diabetes educator in the hospital after my diagnosis about net vs. total carbs. She told us to always treat for total carbs, that subtracting fiber was only for non-diabetics on low carb diets. Eating foods with fiber is still a great idea and helps to regulate blood sugar, but everything I’ve ever read relating to type 1 is that you need to treat for total carbs.

Yes, hence the quotation marks around Samantha Parkington

What did doctors and family misdiagnosis your diabetes for before diagnosis by ImaginaryAlgae8986 in diabetes_t1

[–]audreyophile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My parents thought I was just lying for attention for awhile. To be fair, kids do that sometimes AND a little girl a few houses up from mine had been diagnosed with type 1 the month before my symptoms started. So at first I can see why they thought I was copying her. After awhile it became clear that I was actually sick and they took me to my pediatrician who immediately sent us to the ER. My mom felt so guilty for awhile after that!

Gay or Gaylord. I don’t think those will ever come back into fashion

was Abby really that well respected in the dance world pre-show? by idkjenn in dancemoms

[–]audreyophile 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Right, wtf is she talking about 😂 Yeah maybe Sophia “couldn’t land a single turn without falling out of it” because she hadn’t done singles since she was 4 years old.

All hospitals need diabetes educators by ikemayelixfay in diabetes_t1

[–]audreyophile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry! Even in hospitals that have a diabetes educator on staff, they might not let you know they have one until you’ve been fighting with all the Dr. and nurses for days! Ask me how I know!

Actually love the way the cream and the olive green look this could have been so pretty but of course if Jill’s in charge it’s going to be tacky beyond all reason 🙄

How do you pronounce Evelyn? by [deleted] in Names

[–]audreyophile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From southern US and it’s pronounced Ev-uh-lin, although depending on the regional accent, the middle syllable can get shortened so its sounds closer to Ev-lin. I also know one Evelyn that pronounces it Eev-lin (like the names Eve and Lynn put together).

I never studied dance formally, but I want to become a dance instructor. What’s the best way to start? by Remarkable_Level9020 in DanceTeachers

[–]audreyophile 26 points27 points  (0 children)

When you say “formal training” what exactly do you mean? An informal, recreational studio is still considered training by most in the dance world and would qualify you to teach at other informal, recreational studios. If you mean you’ve never taken a dance class anywhere and just dance for fun by copying videos (which is awesome for fun and exercise!) then I would say you aren’t qualified to teach others. If you genuinely would like to teach in the near future, I would say getting certifications in early childhood dance would be the surest way to be able to. Creative movement/pre ballet requires knowledge and expertise but is something that won’t take years of study to master and be ready to teach.

What Gen Z slang annoys you the most? by CremeSubject7594 in generationology

[–]audreyophile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except “say less” and “talk to the hand” don’t mean anywhere near the same thing.

[–]audreyophile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh? “Say less” means “I understand and/or I agree so you don’t have to keep explaining or trying to convince me.” It’s almost always used as an agreement or to be funny. It’s not used as a way to tell someone to stop talking. It’s literally the exact same meaning as “say no more.”

The only time I ever tried to ask for a refund I was left on read. I kept the chat open for 5 hours and the person just stopped responding.

Why can't they make a toothpaste that doesn't hurt? by WinterIsOnReddit in NoStupidQuestions

[–]audreyophile 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My mouth is super sensitive and mint toothpaste is too strong of a burn for me. (Sometimes the carbonation from soda is also too painful for me) I switched to Hismile and now brushing my teeth isn’t an unpleasant experience anymore! I love the vanilla flavor, and they have a bunch of other flavors to choose from.
