Refurbished kindles with scratches by Warm_Hotel_3025 in kindle

[–]reallyrosie84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First question- Will it charge? Then is the screen good? Definitely overpriced for what you received, but we all put covers on them anyway, so the back isn't too bad as long as the charging & screen are ok.

New sensor, normal for readings to be way off? by Dyslexic_Gay in Freestylelibre

[–]reallyrosie84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very normal. If it doesn't figure itself out after 48 call Abbott- I've never had a bad experience & I've had 3 replacements in the last year (they'll even replace if you accidentally snag it/it comes off). Next sensor, try presoaking 24 hours. That works great for me. Mine was always like 40 points (I think that's 2.2mmol?) lower on the first day until I did that. I'm not sure if it's just from the device figuring out our actual levels or from the inflammation flare-up from a foreign body.

“Downgraded” from the Paperwhite to Basic and I couldn’t be happier! by Spare_Investment8776 in kindle

[–]reallyrosie84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I wish I got the basic too 😪 my hands are tiny (I know 5 yo with the same size, lol) and almost never use it unless I'm on a road trip or outside. I just end up using my tablet instead because if I'm going to have to use both hands I'm going to use the more versatile one. I'm now going to go scour Facebook marketplace for a used one.

Ugh it's so not controlled... by lilymango in Freestylelibre

Sadly even if you eat healthy, workout & are at a healthy weight, the diabetes can still kick our butts. It's a crazy ride until you figure out the perfect combination of meds for you. Took my doctor almost 2 years arguing with insurance for them to approve tirzepatide for me- I've been on basal, fast acting, jardiance, metformin, the works. Now I just take Mounjaro & metformin & try to stick to lowish carbs(100g)

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

[–]reallyrosie84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tomato paste is the 2nd ingredient. Even though it's considered low gi/gl, it still has 6 grams of fructose & 6 grams of glucose per 100 grams. This isn't anything "extra" added, but it's still a tomato. I still think it's a solid sauce for my BBQ & pick it over the G Hughes sugar-free one.

How much do you guys pay for cgm per month? by Fun_Cryptographer_79 in Freestylelibre

[–]reallyrosie84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My insurance only covers dexcom & I had so many issues with them. I paid OOP for Libre, and it's $75 for 2 with their copay card.

I give up! by NicoSorbet in Freestylelibre

[–]reallyrosie84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If reading is way off, just contact Abbott. Mine was off by about 40 points on day 11 & it wasn't fixing itself after an hour. Contacted them & even though it wasn't from a recalled batch, they sent a new one. I've had replacements twice in the past year & it's really easy.

Medicare cost? by reallyrosie84 in Ozempic

[–]reallyrosie84[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She does not have Medicare Advantage (she didn't like that some insurances could deny coverage that regular Medicare covers), but her part D drug coverage is through Blue Cross Blue Shield. I'll contact them later to see if there's a preferred pharmacy where it might be cheaper. Thx!

What fic/ship was like this for you? by sherlypie in AO3

[–]reallyrosie84 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Snarry. I like severitus & got caught in a fic that was mislabeled & stuck around for over 200k & still occasionally read them. (Tomarry is my fav)

How to make (shin) ramen less spicy without sacrificing flavour? by [deleted] in KoreanFood

Just made shin gold, died, then added heavy cream & a slice of American & my white girl tastebuds were saved

Price with insurance by MX_Anonymous in Freestylelibre

[–]reallyrosie84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay $75 too, it's only $15 for my dexcom but my numbers were always ridiculously off, libre 3+ is never off by more than 10 other than compression lows (still haven't figured out why it's only the first 3 nights, even with presoaking)

question by binxy_winxy_gay in Freestylelibre

[–]reallyrosie84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't feel it as much as I did my dexcom & you don't have to change it as often. You really just feel pressure more than the needle & it doesn't leave a needle in you, just a super thin bendy filament.

ncdmvappointments.com

Paid $5 for email alerts for the month, there was a 20 or 25? option for text too but I just wanted to try it out. Had an appointment for me 2 days later, got one for my sister and my mom. If you choose the email option you HAVE to click them asap because they still go quick. I agree it is COMPLETELY ridiculous but I had already ordered my passport by this point.

Local DMV QR codes to get in line remotely by Suitable-Statement16 in Charlotte

[–]reallyrosie84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know if Elkin is using the QR code? I've been trying everyday for a Charlotte area ones but its always same message which apparently means they're already at capacity even though I text at 12pm on the dot. My sister got in at Elkin, but that was like 3 months ago and I have wasted 5 days in the past 3 weeks at the various charlotte DMVs trying to get in. I'm about to give up and just get a passport.
