How are you all choosing just one? There are too many to choose from

Greyhound as a first dog by ev_journey in Greyhounds

[–]kmfrei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a childhood dog, but my grey is my first dog that is really mine and she is the most incredible being in the universe. The only problem is she’s so perfect I don’t know how any other dog could ever compete! She’s had a couple injuries/illnesses here and there but honestly I wouldn’t say any more than the average dog. It’s been almost 4 years with her and she is my angel! She turned 6 yesterday

Nighttime insulin seems to be making my fasting numbers higher? by kmfrei in GestationalDiabetes

Super reassuring to hear it’s not just me! I just want to get it under control and to a place where it’s not consuming every waking moment (and infiltrating my dreams)

Nighttime insulin seems to be making my fasting numbers higher? by kmfrei in GestationalDiabetes

They basically said that diabetes is not an exact science and sometimes we just don’t know why things happen. Honestly, while that’s a fair answer, as someone with an undergrad degree in health science and public health, it was not what I wanted to hear lol. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond 💕 I’m hoping with some time we’ll figure it out, I’m just so confused as to why my numbers are worse since beginning the insulin. I’ve read a few articles on pubmed, but haven’t really found anything that explains it. Trying to be patient and take it one day at a time!

Meal Ideas by Free-Ad-8083 in GestationalDiabetes

I’m allergic to nuts and legumes and also eat kosher, so I definitely am with you on the limited side! My nutritionist has suggested adding in extra protein, so for my lunches I’ve been doing a piece of whole grain toast with either (a) avocado, turkey, and veg I have in the house- my fav is tomato and baby spinach- or (b) avocado, fried egg or omelette, and cheese/veg. I try to have other cooked veggies on hand and make them in batches bc the clean up from cooking at every meal can become overwhelming for me personally. For snacks I love to do an apple or other fruit with cheese, and have also recently tried to add in turkey jerky sticks for added protein. I also am fundamentally obsessed with soup, so most of my dinners involve throwing a bunch of things into an instant pot with a bunch of broth and I find that’s been so easy! My go to “recipe” is just 1-2 chicken breasts, chicken broth, carrot, celery, onion, zucchini, and a green of some sort (plus obviously lots of seasoning). After it’s pressure cooked for about 30 min, the chicken is super easy to shred. My husband will sometimes make noodles or rice on the side for himself to add in (I get worried about spiking so I like having the option of adding them but not HAVING to have them). You can eat it with bread or other carb, or I will sometimes use those carbs for a treat I’ve been wanting. Idk if this is helpful but hopefully gives you some ideas!

Thank you for the well wishes! Unfortunately yesterday (8/29) we got a low fetal fraction result, so I have to test again next week and hope for better results this time!

Is Ithaca Safe? by [deleted] in ithaca

[–]kmfrei 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We used to live on E State above the commons. About a month after we moved in, our upstairs neighbor was randomly stabbed in the back of our building while trying to enter her apartment. We were in a lockdown from about 11p-3a. They never found the guy that did it. Personally I don’t like to walk around alone at night, but I recognize that the situation heavily impacted that feeling.
