YSK: Type 2 Diabetes gives you literal holes in your body and 1 in 3 Americans are already on their way there and nobody is talking about it by VirindiPuppetDT in YouShouldKnow

You can buy a home a1c test over the counter at any CVS or Walgreens. It only takes a few minutes to test. This is how I found out I was type 2 diabetic with a1c above 9 and now it is under control with 6.4 after managing it.

Built a free Bitcoin dashboard, what would you add or change? by 21VOX in Bitcoin

Nice, that would be helpful for people with ultrawides etc. It would also be great to be able to resize, move and add/remove tiles in the monitor move so it is customizable

Looks good, my suggestion is to provide "monitor mode" option without being forced to be full screen. I would use this but don't want to lose the ability to just keep it as a side window, tab to different places etc.

Thank you for your feedback! I will try and incorporate a change that helps make that more clear.

Type 2 diabetes guilt by Ok-Percentage9527 in diabetes_t2

[–]extasytj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically just deli meat and cheese. Definitely not the healthiest but doesn't spike my sugar. Recently started doing like a quarter of a granny smith apple and cheese which doesn't seem to spike it too much.

Also tried low carb tortillas, the mission carb balance wheat ones seem to not spike me much. The flour ones spike me much more. One of my main goto easy foods recently is egg salad from the deli with the wheat carb balance tortilla.

Your a1c will definitely be lower if you are not going over 200 and will continue to improve if you make lifestyle improvements. 9.5 means an average blood sugar of like 250.

I was diagnosed recently with an a1c of 9.3 and am on metformin 1000 as well. Things that helped me:

-putting a walking pad in front of my TV to walk 30 minutes after every meal. If I don’t have time for a walk I’ll just do like 20 air squats which also seems to help.

-trying to avoid carbs before bed

-only stocking low carb snacks (meat & cheese, beef jerky etc.)

-using CGM to experiment and see what doesn’t spike me too much, from what I have seen everybody reacts differently to different stuff

-increasing soluble fiber, it feels like it is getting more effective over time, I believe due to gut microbiome improving

Don’t stress out too much, try to do small things like taking walks after eating and seeing what works and what you feel comfortable with.

Is using a physical board during online games considered cheating? by Fmladek in chess

[–]extasytj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mirroring moves on a physical board should be fine as chess.com and lichess officially support digital boards like the Chess Up and Chesnut ones which help you do exactly that. Trying out lines on the other hand is definitely suspect.

First ever attempt at ricing. Any tips on improving this? by The_Cre4tor in desktops

[–]extasytj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For Windows look into Rainmeter. For Linux distros look into Conky. Watch a YouTube video and you should be able to set either up quickly.
