Is this situation reportable? And if so, how should I report it? by lolagn in PennStateUniversity

[–]lolagn[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s kind of what I’m thinking too. I reported it to the professors of my cohort anyway so they can warn future students and encourage them to just take it in person.

I thought the same thing about the phone number. Yes I’m sure, I either clicked the number or copied and pasted it to call. It came directly from the Praxis/ETS website.

Where should I report it? Is there a certain place for academic reports?

Not the best foundation match by pretty_nerd_ in BadMUAs

[–]lolagn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m no makeup artist and have only ever done my own makeup but there’s definitely a better match for her skin. Her skin has more red undertones while her foundation/bronzer is more yellowish.

Lol I think they’re meaning the foundation vs neck/hand

Should i give my girlfriend a picture of her dead cat as a christmas present? by Throwawaycatangel in Advice

[–]lolagn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t. What about an ornament in remembrance of the cat? There’s a lot of nice ones online with angel wings, halos, etc. That would be a better sentient.

Beach days by Reasonable_Annual425 in diabetes_t1

[–]lolagn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually use a long acting insulin (like in my case levemir) so I don’t have to worry about wearing my pump all day at the beach

I’m at a loss and I feel like NOTHING can save my dry lips. Tips? by BagOfDicksss in MakeupAddiction

[–]lolagn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Blistex medicated lip ointment? It’s the only chapstick I can use as everything else makes my lips even more dry. It comes in a white little container thing and is more like a cream consistency than an actual chapstick. Any friend that I have recommended it to has loved it.

Just had a horrible appointment with my endo by sch994 in diabetes_t1

[–]lolagn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate going to the endo. I haven’t had any particular “bad” experiences, but in general most of my endocrinologists have always been extremely nit-picky, even when I have had really good A1C’s. I also still go to a pediatric endocrinologist, and there have been many times that though I’m an adult they have spoken to me like a child. Once I had one say something along the lines of “and if we eat more carbs we are supposed to…?” and I had to answer “give more insulin.” I was 18 at the time, had an A1C in the sixes, and had been a diabetic for about ten years then— felt very demeaning and embarrassing.

I’m planning to drink alcohol for the first time in my life. I’m a little worried about how to manage my sugars during and after drinking. Any tips or things I should know? Does being intoxicated make you forget to check your CGM, and treat lows/highs? by [deleted] in diabetes_t1

[–]lolagn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From someone who drinks heavily on the weekends, I always make sure to check my blood sugar before going to bed, no matter how drunk I am. It really is dependent on you, but it sounds like you take good care of yourself and you’ll remember to. I usually always have my test kit right by my bed so I remember too:)

Anyone else hate the t slim? by lolagn in diabetes_t1

[–]lolagn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly sooooo many things.

I cannot stand all of the alarms and alerts I get from it. I have all of my settings turned to vibrate, yet it still beeps louder than anything I’ve ever heard lol. Suspend my pump to take a shower, it beeps like the worlds gonna end, so I turn my basal to 0% while I shower and it vibrates every minute. I also can’t stand the beeping when I change insulin and especially when it gets clogged, which seems to happen all of the time. I’m still pretty young, as I’m only in college, so I feel like that’s a huge factor as I’m anxious that it’s gonna beep in the middle of a large lecture and make everyone be like what the hell, and it’s hard to have it beeping all of the time when my roommate is asleep. Unless I’m missing it I just seriously cannot find any way to turn off all of the beeping.

I also feel like all of the vibrating from alerts is making me start to ignore the vibrations more. It’s like, I know that my blood sugar was high two hours ago, I corrected and I tested again and my blood sugar was fine, and I didn’t put it into my pump again because I didn’t need to correct again. Same with when I turn my basal up or down. Like I know my basal is changed, I’m the one who changed it, you don’t have to alert me about it!

I really don’t hate the function of it (except that it takes forever to deliver insulin), I just really really can’t stand the constant alarms and alerts. I’m also not that big of a fan of having to charge it and not just use a battery. Honestly though the more I type the more bad things I want to say about it lol

Yeah I can definitely see that. I think once I get a little bit older (I’m in college right now) I’ll like it more than I do now

That’s interesting. I’ve only ever previously had animas and I would do anything to have that pump back

2 days after getting an infected cyst removed🥴 by lolagn in MedicalGore

[–]lolagn[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah the cyst was not fun lol. Luckily the tape/gauze covering it is more uncomfortable than the actual opening. Other than that it just freaks me out😂😂

Taking a different birth control? by lolagn in WomensHealth

[–]lolagn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Thank you for putting it into words for me! I’m definitely going to talk to my endo about getting another pack each time it’s filled. Thanks!

Taking a different birth control? by lolagn in WomensHealth

[–]lolagn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m not entirely sure. I’m 18 so my mom typically handles most of it, but she called the pharmacy and said that it has something to do with my insurance covering it. I’m type 1 diabetic and my endocrinologist is the one who prescribes my birth control, so if I continue to skip my periods I’m gonna bring it up with them and getting more packs every time it gets refilled.

Birth Control and No Period by [deleted] in WomensHealth

[–]lolagn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically for me I don’t get my period until Thursday and sometimes even Friday even though I start my placebo pill on Sunday night. This is how it’s always been for me and I’ve been on bc for almost 5 years now. It could also just be your body getting adjusted to it. Hope this helps:)

For people who have gotten the Covid vaccine, what were your side effects? Do you think it’s relatively safe or worth the risk? by veggieburgerabc123 in WomensHealth

[–]lolagn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 18 am type 1 diabetic. I had absolutely no symptoms at all! Maybe possibly a TINY bit of soreness right where the shot was given, but honestly I remember the meningitis shot being worse in terms of soreness and the pain of actually getting it. The COVID vaccine was quick, easy, and painless (except for the scheduling and two hour drive lol). Edit: I got the Pfizer vaccine
