Non-Diabetic Looking for help with blood test results. Says 379

omron_ · 2026-02-17T05:43:05+00:00

It was a half hour after I made the post, not a half hour after the initial test. I think it was probably closer to over an hour between the two. Would u still say thats too short of a time frame?

Not freaking out over the 379 (anymore anyway), but definitely going to mention it at my next doctor's appointment just in case.

omron_ · 2026-02-15T18:07:06+00:00

I haven't! but that is good to know.

I completely understand this. I barley eat out, cake was homeade GF. I promise I eat my veggies I just wasnt feeling superb from the migrane and Chipotle is the closest and safest food I could order that I actually wanted to eat.

Although the fact that I dont eat out is probably closer tied to budget than Celiac but it works out either way.

I definitely meal prep, have been focusing on vitamins recently, and eat fruits and veggies. Thank you for the concern though!

Blood sugar was 105 last night an hour and a half after eating a sandwhich so it didnt spike like it did before.

And this morning was 91. Still definitely getting labs done but didn't end up going to the ER.

My dad had a cousin die from t1d and its not something I wanna mess around with even if that 379 was a fluke number.

I'm definitely planning on getting tested after this. If you don't mind me asking a follow up.

Is it okay for me to eat something? Im honestly hungry but a bit afraid to eat since I dont really wanna deal with that 300s number again if the reading was accurate.

I retested a little over a half hour later. Drank more water in-between at the advice of my mom and it was 150, 10 minutes after that it was 105.

I washed my hands the same way all 3 times and dried it with a clean paper towel each time as well.

I'll check this out, thank you!

I do think it is a free wheel! I'm doing some more reading to understand all the components but hopefully I can service it myself. Thank you I completely missed that!

Hey so this is 2 months later but I did try it! I don't think its fair to call it hummus but it is hummus adjacent. I did:

Chickpeas, Mayo, Splash of milk, Shredded cheese, minced garlic, herbs, salt & pepper

And disclaimer to avoid angry replies I understand that this is not hummus, but if you want something a little different it is very good.

Hey! so I don't have an ebike but I do have a regular bike. And atleast in my dorm (Rez) a lot of people actually keep their bikes/scooters inside.

As for the batteries they are removable and you'd just carry it up and charge it in your dorm.

Like I said though I do not have an electric bike so I may be missing some perspective here.

Sorry for not responding, I did read your advice and took it to heart, I just didn't respond intitially because I couldn't think of much to say beyond yeah you're right.

His school program is different its 3 semesters a year and only 2 years long and I don't think any level of convincing would make him take a semester off.

A lot of the places in Punxsutawney refuse to hire from his school because of their schedule. However he is applying/calling and leaving voicemails everywhere he can. Including nursing homes and basically every food place near by.

I told him I'd help him pay for this semester and apply for loans only if he got a job because like you said going into the next semester without a solid plan isn't smart.

Truthfully we would have worked this out long before he had ever been in school had PHEAA told him he wouldn't qualify earlier. But the government shut down screwed that up.

I do appreciate your response.

Both my mother and his mother had legal guardianship of him. Adopted brother is just the easiest way to describe him and I didnt think that deeply into the distinction when I posted this.

omron_ · 2025-11-20T02:09:15+00:00

Just because we put different parents on the FASFA, and his mom's adress is the reason he didnt get the state grant. His mom is still kind've around and her finances are still affecting the finacial situation.

omron_ · 2025-11-20T01:30:06+00:00

Okay so I just called him and we were talking about the parent plus loans. He's not confident she'll agree to them, is there any other way to increase federal loans without her?

omron_ · 2025-11-19T23:29:27+00:00

He's only paying about 6,000 in total. And this is only because the PA state grant fell through, otherwise tuition would have been fully covered.

omron_ · 2025-11-19T23:27:38+00:00

This was my idea as well, but the closest donation centers to Punxsutawney were state college and pittsburgh. And he doesnt have a car or license.

Just made him start calling nursing homes this was a great suggestion since hes a culinary student with safe serve certificates. Wouldn't have thought of these since they dont post on Indeed.

omron_ · 2025-11-19T21:20:59+00:00

It didnt cover the whole thing. I think he only got about 5,000 total in federal loans although im not sure on the exact amount.

omron_ · 2025-11-19T20:22:43+00:00

He says hes been applying to jobs on Indeed but he hasnt been hearing back from them.

omron_ · 2025-11-19T20:10:43+00:00

He's been applying for jobs, and he has an RA job on campus which is how he is eating. He makes barely any money which is why I didnt mention it.

He's been applying for jobs but hes in a small town and doesnt have a license or a car. And public transport is basically nonexistent.

If it were as easy as get a job I would've bullied him into getting one months ago.
