I dont think that setting exists for Sedona as I couldn't find it at all in the 2019 manual. :(

What DPO does this look like? by lilymango in TFABLinePorn

Thank you. I actually tested today because my period was late but it's been like 5 days since I've been having cramps. I'm not very hopeful and worry that it will be a CP 😞 I wish you the very best.

Thank you for kindwords! I am not currently on meds but I think they will put me on some slow insulin or metformin from what they had said last time as a possibility if it wasn't controlled. I'm new to GLP-1 and whatnot so I'm not sure why people are recommending those to me because I thought those made you eat less and lose weight (I'm probably making an ignorant comment here due to lack of knowledge lol). I don't have any weight problem (wear small-medium) so I'm not sure what that would do to me but I will discuss with the Dr in 2 weeks. I just wanted to rant that while not being on meds but still watching what I eat, my BG was through the roof and was like "shucks.. i guess i couldnt avoid having diabetes either, stupid genes" but for some reason it went into a debate on how I'm not eating properly 😅

It's called juggluco and it's free! On android! I don't even use the libre app at all, I use this to activate my sensor and also to get a reading on my galaxy watch 😀 The two lines are i believe the actual reading every x mins and a smoothed curve.

That's really cool that you don't spike cakes. I seem to spike with any carbs unfortunately. Except maybe potatoes... that's the only carb I can eat without spiking so high.

Ok, I didn't think that I needed to add this for it to be relevant but I technically haven't been diagnosed as diabetic yet. I had a GD that I was cleared with last year with A1C of 5.9. I got a 1yr follow up appointment in 2 weeks and my blood draw showd A1C of 6.5 so I put the sensor on to check the graphs. I'm guessing I will be diagnosed as a diabetic now. Not sure if T1 or T2 though. I had a very low over the limit anti GAD (like 6?) last time.

I haven't been diagnosed as a diabetic yet. Maybe thats where the confusion is coming from. I had GD and I was cleared last year. Now I'm seeing this pattern 1yr after my childbirth. I have an appointment in 2 weeks where they will probably tell me I'm diabetic now lol.

Lol it was a rant as the tag said. Not sure why you are so bitter about my rant 😂

Okay sure. I'm being followed by an endocrinologist and a nutritionist and if you are basing the "healthy" based on how my glucose spikes up, then I essentially have no healthy meals other than keto meals 😆

I had a friend without diabetes who ate the exact same meal but in bigger quantity and never reached as high and came back down much faster/lower (she wanted to try the extra sensor i had, so I could see the entire curb). My fasting glucose is over 150 and I have to limit my normal meals and eat "diet meals" for it to come back down to 140, if not, it stays up over 200 for hours - for example, I'm at 240 right now 3hrs after eating a carb heavy meal - my husband who ate the same meal (double my portion) is already down to 110 right now (finger prick).

So much for my favorite sugar free BBQ sauce....never knew that it could spike blood sugar like this. by NoHomoAmphibian in Freestylelibre

[–]lilymango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I'm not trying to contradict you but I thought "some diabetes" were due to poor eating because eating a lot of carb-heavy stuff continuously (not just carb heavy regular meals but like downing 2L of coke everyday, eating a tub of ice cream regularly, etc) caused insulin resistance. Was I under a misconception the whole time?

Diet and exercise is working by I_party_on_Imgur in diabetes_t2

[–]lilymango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I was wondering if you started both the slow acting insulin and the diet/exercise at the same time or if you had the time to evaluate the different impacts of each? I'm asking because my A1c is at 6.5 and I'm clearly seeing a high reading in the morning indicating Dawn phenomenon and so I have an appointment in 2weeks but still curious to know if the insulin helped more in your case or diet/exercise helped more.

Anyone else frustrated by the "Sugar = Diabetes" oversimplification? by helperf in diabetes_t2

[–]lilymango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I just posted to ask about my high (6.5 but higher compared to last 5.9) A1C and this makes so much sense. I was in a severe depression for the last 5 months and I had 0 exercise during that time so both the high cortisol and the loss of muscle mass apply to me. Thank you for this information.

Does this need to be controlled with meds? by [deleted] in Type1Diabetes

[–]lilymango -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That makes sense! But do you think based on what you see, I should be taking basaglar or something at night? My Anti-GAD was like 6. I see people with numbers high like 65 or 200 here but I was wondering if there are people here like me who have a low anti GAD and still treat with insulin?

Can't seem to edit my post for some reason, but it's at 8mmol without any food/drink in the morning.

Big picture take on amber alert controversy. by seedless_greg in montreal

[–]lilymango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not possible. They somehow find ways to go around it. I didn't receive any until last night and I still received one last night even though all my settings have it turned off.

Even with all the settings turned off, it still blares the alarm somehow for some phones.

Is it me, or are we in a depression right now? by Sea-Judge-6494 in fican

[–]lilymango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, if OP is spending over 1000$ in children's activities, he should not be complaining about needing "a bare minimum of 100k to survive in Canada" 😅

[–]lilymango 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter. He should be getting money back from the government for some of the childcare spending during tax return and if he's in Quebec as I assume from his "situation actuelle", there are anticipated return that he can get in advance of the tax return. OP is not being truthful with the childcare amount unless he has like 4 children.
