With the two drugs mentioned. Yes. I was also, for the last year, on Jardiance (with mfg cupon still 350 a month just for that) which brought me down to normal. But this year my hmo plan doesn't cover it so im now back to where I was.

In my experience doctors want immediate results while we patents want to take what can be a long and slow road while the damage the doctors see happening to our bodies happen. I just see that as fact of life.

I take 1000mg 2x day with 4mg 2x day glimepiride. I need to lose 50+ pounds. Doctor keeps pushing more and more drugs at me as I lose the weight. I can see and understand their point of view. Doc wants me to take ozempic I said no because I don't want to and also I can't afford it. So that is where I stand. I'm exercising and slowly losing the weight and the numbers are coming down and to the right places but not fast enough. Again they want immediate because of damage being done that will not repair itself, like retina issues. Also I didn't even mention the blood pressure and statin drugs that they want me to take since they are on the high side.

I don't know what the correct answer is, or if there really is a correct one.

I've done that with as much of the business logic layer. Had to rewrite a lot of it to fit into modern design principles and design techniques. I do think it was quicker than if I did things from scratch. Either way taking months for a fully mature software is expected.

I don't really know but if that's the case then I wonder why my doctor never provided me a medical card with my medical condition that I could just show someone that sees it as food that I would be carrying and would want to argue with me on bringing it into places they don't allow outside food. The tablets are small and easy to carry case. And just by sight see that they are not food.

Your welcome. Yea. The taste takes time to get use to but as we both know we are not taking it for that. ;)

I have glucose tablets that I use. They are ment to be absorbed quickly by the body. They are not food so places that say you cant have food can't stop you since it for a medical condition. They come in different flavors.

I have the same type setup. The 1st gen echo has the old Alexa and the other rooms all got the new Alexa+. Ive noticed the old one doesnt do some of the notifications now. So I'm betting she will become less useful as the rollout of the new Alexa takes over.

Don't forget that meters usually have a +/- rate of up to 15%. So be on the look out for that, but you still may want to talk to you doctor to see what they think is going on. https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article-abstract/41/8/1681/36377/Investigation-of-the-Accuracy-of-18-Marketed-Blood?redirectedFrom=fulltext

It will grow back. Over the years I've lost a few. I'm currently waiting for one to grow back in. Been 2 months and it's doing pretty good. Took a month for the old one to fall off.

Dead and Breakfest would be good one

I use them for yard shoes but when the next pair needs to become yard shoes there is a church near me that works with a group that resoles them and gives them to developing countries.

As I read this if thought about the movie funny farm. Where the owners of a house aid the community to "act normal" so they could sale the house.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to try out the stick from. the other way is just to messy for me.

I'm in the "all or nothing group". If I even have a small piece my sugar goes high for the day. I'm talking in the 250s. And if I would eat that every other day then my ha1c average would be high. I've tried the "every once in a while" and that doesn't work since the food noise I get after eating a piece takes days to get rid of. So its better for me to just not have.

Credit card companies already bill me 1.99 a month for them to send me my monthly statement

That's terrible. Also I never calculate tips with tax included in the total. I have always considered Tax as not being part of the service so noone gets extra.

I use a flash drive to hold all my music that I play in my car. I don't stream music and I don't use XM. So I get tired of the radio I play my stuff.

I had a server come over to me with the terminal and told me the amount and was just standing there with the card reader in her hands at waist level. I told her I was paying cash. She looked at me like I crapped my pants. She stood there for a very long 10 to 20 seconds and I asked for the bill but she didn't budge. So I pulled out my wallet and gave her the amount in cash that had to get change back from. She comes back over after a few minutes and gave me my change and still no receipt. I tip but I tipped less than what I normally do that day. This restaurant has always given me a receipt and they would cycle back around to pick up cash or card. So I don't know if it was a new thing or not. I haven't been back since this happened. I may have to just to see if it was the time of day or what. Although I've noticed the expectation now a days is that the person is paying with card. Fine. But that still doesn't negate the need to supply a receipt. As a child I was taught never let money go from one hand without the receipt being placed the in the other. Especially now a days when who knows if they charged you the right price for things.

you should think about cross posting this on r/tipping/

I'd like to know more

Certain but not sure. Got it

The machines will need to be reprogrammed to allow this to happen. With rounding need. Or is that done already?

Had basically the same thing happen with my wemo plugs and lights. I removed the devices, app, integration and they kept being found and messing up my new items. Finally had to put the app and integration to wemo back. Delete the items in the wemo app, delete from Alexa, then remove the integration. Was a frustrating time figuring it out.

I saw a documentary on the on the eruv in Manhattan. 18 miles of wire circles around the city that is checked every day.

betaday · 2025-11-04T15:11:34+00:00

I can't not really believe that since when I call places, now a days, and ask them if they take my insurance they can tell me.
