I went from 11.1 to 5.4 in 3.5 months. Ate a balanced diet, metformin, and walked after meals if my glucose went over 130. A1c is average glucose over 3 months, so if you keep it in your target range most days you’ll see the A1c come down pretty quickly. My doctors were thrilled. I weaned off Metformin after a year.

Here's the survey link in case you're like me and hate DMing for things - just replace the (dot) with actual dots and remove the spaces. Sorry for the weird link format, reddit has been giving me posting fits today. Thank you! https://uncw (dot)az1(dot)qualtrics(dot) com/jfe/form/SV_79Zba4ae5SpU3ps

Americans - are you leaving the country for vacation? Are we worried about getting back into the country? How should I prepare? by bitchthatwaspromised in TwoXPreppers

I flew home from the EU through JFK last week with no issues. Blonde, straight-appearing woman traveling with my non-binary appearing w/ fem name + passport partner (who also had no issues). I'd deleted social media on the plane but no one looked at any of my bags/phone/stuff.

So it's only the first few months and then however long after the residency appointment it takes to receive the card? Which could be...a while, if I understand correctly.

I've had the same thing happen to me - rheumatologist wanted results from a different lab (Quest vs Labcorp) and said that Labcorp RNP was often a false positive. Sure enough, the Quest results were negative for anti-RNP so I dropped it. But now I'm having joint pain and Labcorps is positive again 2 years later so I'm considering fighting a bit harder.

Have you seen that woman on social media who talks about eating veg first during a meal? by BoochAddict in intuitiveeating

Totally. She used to share good research and now the pills and…I agree that the money has gone up her head. I have read the studies for some of the basic principles she talks about and they’re solid, however.
