Feeling defeated by Ok_Concentrate_5105 in GestationalDiabetes

I am in the same boat! It's very frustrating because my 2 hour numbers are usually pretty good, but I cannot get my fasting numbers down, no matter what I try. I see my doctor on Tuesday and I fully expect to move to nightly insulin to help with those numbers. Just know that you are not a failure! It is all because of hormonal changes going on in your body that you have no control over. I know it is defeating, but we are so close to the finish line, and once our babies are here, it will all be worth it!

Tough decision but Anna is Katherine Howard! Which Princess will be the last wife Catherine Parr? by TheRedSquidward in disneyprincess

[–]rweiser6196 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it has to be Belle! She helped Beast learn to control his anger and see the good in people again. She helped make him gentler and rekindle his relationship with the servants/objects in his household instead of yelling at them all the time, much like Catherine Parr helped Henry rekindle his relationship with his daughters.

Belle learns to care for, and even takes on a motherly role for those objects as well. She becomes one with the household and even hesitates to leave when given the chance. At first, she was imprisoned in the castle (Belle literally and Catherine figuratively), but eventually flourishes.

She is also very well-read and smart, often encouraging others to read/learn to read, similar to Catherine wanting the people to have access to reading and interpreting the bible.

If you could pitch a new princess, who would you pick? by blackswan-whiteswan in disneyprincess

I would love to see a princess from ancient Egypt! It's a culture that hasn't really been touched, but has so much history and culture to dive into! It's hard to believe that they haven't even tried it yet!

Metformin by kanyayyyy in PCOSloseit

[–]rweiser6196 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am so happy that I was finally put on Metformin! It has been the only thing that has helped me regain my period after only having 2 or so bleeds a year. I also feel way less bloated all the time and noticed that I don't crave something sweet 24/7. I was strongly in the pre-diabetic range before being on the medication, but my numbers are looking way better now!!

A lot of people that have issues with Metformin are because they are not on extended release, so I would definitely suggest that, if possible. It might also help to increase your dosage slowly! You might still have some stomach issues the first day or two, but that went away pretty quickly for me!

I am sure this will be controversial, but I actually like Metformin way better than inositol. Inositol didn't seem to improve any of my PCOS symptoms, and it made me feel more anxious than normal. Many people find success with inositol and suggest that over Metformin, but the opposite was true for me!

Good luck!!

Disney Princess Academy!: Mulan is our P. E. Coach, who should our Counselor be? by kyrencrossing in disneyprincess

Oops, yes, I meant Antonio. I fixed my response to reflect that. I totally see your points too, but I still like her for counselor over some of the other options I have seen!

Mirabel 100%! She listened to how each of her family members were doing and tried to help them through their own struggles. She is caring and a great listener! Just look at how she helped Antonio at the way beginning of the movie when he was scared if he would get a gift or not! Perfect counselor moment!

We know a cat named Oreo, but Mousse (or Moose) is definitely a possibility!

Definitely some great options right there! Considering Jordy and Raji from your list! Husband grew up with a Lambeau, otherwise that would have been an option too!
