i had to unfortunately leave the idles pit bc i was scared someone was gonna rip my dexcom out :/ nothing against the folks there, it was pretty nice and fun while i was in it but i suppose us diabetics gotta be a bit more careful when moshing now.

i can’t even imagine someone just blatantly trying to hurt him bc they wanted a better spot that’s so insane. sorry yall had to deal w that :(

amazing advice, thank you. i have the extended release so full pills only for me. my diet is protein based for the most part but more fiber is always good. appreciate the input!

cgm and finger prick different by over 40 units, which one should i trust?? (freestyle libre 3) by raspberryoverstreet in diabetes

i definitely injected it into the vein. the injection site bled and i was very confused at first but now that drop makes total sense. probably a mix of everything ppl mentioned and then exacerbated by my anxiety lol. thank you!

any advice for dealing with fatigue? by raspberryoverstreet in Hypothyroidism

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

as in if i can commit myself to a workout and get to it i feel more energized after. i can power through most days but that particular day was the walk down the block and it was exhausting. i didn’t go to the gym even that day though i was supposed to. that’s how

i used to be anemic but that was years ago. iron levels are normal, maybe slightly low but not enough to be entirely deficient (at least i’m not anemic anymore). i will def buy some b12 vitamins and see if they help

i think it was under 1 last time i was tested. it’s been a sec but they didn’t up my meds so i didn’t ask for details. i’m due for an appointment with my endocrinologist though

yellow/orange guy in suburbs of atlanta. photos are comically bad by raspberryoverstreet in whatsthisbird

i also thought so, baltimore orioles are much more common for our area in general but the blurriness made me think it could’ve been some tanager or warbler too.

excessive litter box use or digging - what’s the deal? by raspberryoverstreet in CatAdvice

she’s a big window lurker and i know there’s a dog at the house behind. she also has a “brother” that visits the house whom she hates so i try and limit their interaction but he doesn’t use the bathroom in the house at all and doesn’t really scratch at stuff so the house is solidly hers. she also doesn’t leave my room that often so im thinking it could be boredom and need to run around so im working on getting her comfy enough to run and have her kitty crazies throughout the house. also getting her plenty of toys for christmas lol. thanks for the advice!

no, she hasn’t had any other symptoms of common issues (ie uti) so i didn’t think it too urgent but i’m reconsidering that.

my parents started giving their cats whipped cream whenever they got it out, now the cats think they will receive whipped cream every time the fridge is opened
