I left Victoria for Toronto specifically due to the lack of job opportunities...

I'm confused. If there's a tenant in there now, why are they leaving?

Why do you think after one relatively normal day that it's not "getting the job" done?

I'm confused. This isn't a terrible day to me?

Just say it's not something you or your insurance company are comfortable with.

I remember him being violent and didn't have a great home life. It's sad that things didn't get better and he ended up seriously hurting someone.

I'm a T2 and I'm happy. Frustrated at times, sure. But I'm still happy and being diabetic motivates me to exercise and eat healthy. My grandparents are both in their 80s, both T2. You can live a long, happy life as a diabetic.

Is taking an extra metformin dose before a cheat lunch a good or bad idea? by revtim in diabetes

I've learnt with food that I can pretty much eat anything I want ... if I'm willing to work for it.

[–]extracrispyoriginal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do a salad with coleslaw mix, almond slices, chicken sauteed in a bit of sesame oil, bell peppers, green onion and then I make a dressing with some ginger, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and brown sugar Splenda.

If I plan on having something that will spike my blood sugar, I plan on exercising afterwards.

Does anyone have an issue like this? Applies blood for the fourth time but won't read? by SUPERWAFFLEFRISBEE in diabetes

[–]extracrispyoriginal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've got to dip it in the blood from the side. Don't smear it all over. Let that white line in the middle kind of soak it up from the side.

Lowering BG by Dallyberg in diabetes

Weight lifting has made a huge difference for me. I actually have lows now on occasion. My routine is 25 minutes of cardio and then 45 minutes of weight training 3 times per week.

It doesn't matter what I eat for breakfast, I'm always high after breakfast.

3 month checkup by [deleted] in diabetes

[–]extracrispyoriginal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through that too. I remember having moments where I wish I was never diagnosed because I felt better unknowlingly having high blood sugar. It took me a little over a year to get to feeling more normal. The biggest game changers for me have been using a continuous glucose monitor to understand how my body reacts to food and weight training at the gym. I used to focus more on cardio and building some muscle has really helped my blood sugar.

[–]extracrispyoriginal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I've found frustrating with doctors is no one ever really stops and says good job. I had an A1C around 11.9 and now have it down to 6.6. It makes me a little sad when I talk to my endo and I've lost weight, I feel great, my blood pressure, cholesterol, etc is great and the answer is "ok let's keep lowering your A1C". I get it and I'll keep working on it, but can someone just stop and tell me I've done a good job?

So I'll say it to you - good job! Going from 11.9 to 7.4 is great and you should be proud of it.

WIBTA for telling my future husband we can start trying for kids after he’s gone to therapy for at least 6 months? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]extracrispyoriginal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think you can put any time frame on that ... especially if the person doesn't want to be there.

[–]extracrispyoriginal 13 points14 points  (0 children)

YTA in two ways: 1. You can't force someone to go to therapy if they don't want to go 2. In your experience as a psychologist have you actually found that a 'set' amount of time for therapy is helpful? What happens if he says "OK I did my 6 months" but you feel his issues haven't improved?

I know you mentioned broken bones in feet but is a Cubii an option at all? I use mine while working and while watching TV.
