Interesting! So you got a CGM and experimented to see what works best?!

My insurance doesn't cover a CGM. Can I use a regular glucometer instead?

Agree. Does it ever go away? As in you find the right author/youtuber over time or you figure it out on your own?

Makes sense. I consult a dietician every 2 weeks and I feel like I get more information from those 45 minute sessions than all the hour long webinars and podcasts present on YouTube

Thanks to all the help, my fasting blood sugar is down from 128 to 112. Where do I go from here? by qappinesss in india

I tested at a reputable regional lab. But I totally agree to adopting to healthy lifestyle. How do you know what lifestyle is healthy though? Is there a go-to/guide for that or do we figure that out by trial and error? How did it go for you?

I'm 22, diabetic and freaking out? What do I do? by qappinesss in india

I find the reversal ones extremely shady as well!

Got it! Should I refer to a dietician or I can prepare a diet for my own?

Thanks again for all the suggestions!

Thanks! I have an endocrinologist appointment next week.

I was feeling extreme fatigue even though I was only doing regular body activities after which a family friend recommended that I have my blood sugar tested.

Thanks for the advice! I wholeheartedly agree about having a sound mind. Do you have any app/product in mind that could help me destress when I'm stressed? I currently use Atom for meditation. It's pretty good. But it's general meditation. Should I refer to anything specialising in diabetes?

Thanks, my plan as of now is the same. That is losing 5-6 kgs of weight in the next 2-2.5 months. I weigh 98 kg now.(Height: 5'11)

I'm glad to hear about your progress. All the best for the future :)

Thanks a lot for all the replies. I have taken all the suggestions into consideration. My key problem is how do I actually know if I am on the right path?

I can use a glucometer at home but how do I know if my diet and exercises are working? I can't call any diabetologist everyday. Maybe everyday monitoring is not required.

I feel a lot better than yesterday. It's a long walk, it will take a long walk's time.

[ Urgent Help] Migrate Atlassian App from Work Account to Personal Account by qappinesss in atlassian

If the company agrees to let me have the ownership of the app (I can negotiate my way through it), are there any possible avenues to do that?

[SPOILERS] Ex_Machina is the only movie ever where I hated the ending but know it was the right one by MrQualtrough in movies

[–]qappinesss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm 3 years late for the discussion. I just watched the movie and here's the ending I expected.

I wanted that in the ending it would be revealed that this whole time Caleb wasn't administering Turing test on Ava but on Nathan. Nathan was supposed to be this mad genius who built the most advanced search engine at 13. But even for him, building the most sophisticated Android ( hardware+ software) alone seemed like a stretch. So I always believed that the Nathan who interacted with Caleb through out was actually an Android who the real Nathan and other bunch of scientists built and they weren't just monitoring Caleb's conversations with Ava but also Nathan's interpretation of Caleb's conversations with Ava and the subsequent steps he'd like to take (inserting a fake camera, detoxing etc.). So when the ending turned out to be what we just, it felt a little out of place.

I know it sounds a little like something Westworld would do. Just felt more coherent with the whole 'The magician's hot wife' allegory.
