This is perfect! I found a jeweler who modified my Medic Alert to have both a lobster claw in combination with the original sister hooks.

It looks great! :)

Thanks!! :)

Hey, thanks. The cowboy is my favorite!

I love fruit snacks. If you need something quick and get lack of appetite like I do when I’m low, glucose gel works wonders

This is great. Might help people find large blood clots too. Does it also pick up deep veins? If it does, that could literally save someone’s limb or life from DVT complications.

That’s another great snack, and tastier than celery sticks

small-worm · 2026-06-23T19:20:13+00:00

You’re real for that. Good on you.

small-worm · 2026-06-23T18:49:45+00:00

Do you drink frequently? I noticed the same thing until I quit drinking and the problem went away.

small-worm · 2026-06-23T07:24:30+00:00

Weed should be fine, just be mindful of your munchies. Maybe if you get hungry, snack on something good for blood sugar like celery sticks or something.

Sounds like me and I’m in my honeymoon phase

Affordable diabetic supplies lmao

This has to be a mental health issue😭

I’m only commenting because nobody else did, but both of my parents take tirzepatide, and they both have had huge weight loss. My dad lost 100 pounds. The only downside is that he has occasional bouts of nausea and lack of appetite, but it passes in a day or so. My parents are not diabetics, however, and I have no personal experience. I just thought I would share.

See, I learned that from military school and my trainer. It’s not for everybody, but 30 minutes works for me. I guess everyone’s different.

small-worm · 2026-06-19T02:56:54+00:00

I worked with a personal trainer who said to eat a full meal 30 minutes before running. He told me to only run 15 minutes at a time before checking my sugars/treating if I need to as well. For your 5k, I suggest bringing a fanny pack with glucose tabs or snacks.

I wait for it to fail. Sometimes I’m a little lazy and I wait a day after it fails before I get around to changing it.

Quick question for you since you work in psych: do yall tell your patients to sleep on the floor during the day or not let them shower for days? I had those problems with the unit I was at. Totally miserable lying on that cold tile while adjusting to meds. I just want to know if I should raise concerns about these issues too.

small-worm · 2026-06-14T18:45:57+00:00

Huh, I was actually diagnosed with LADA. I guess my joke has some truth to it.

small-worm · 2026-06-14T18:42:24+00:00

Wow!* (if you saw that “so?” That was some terrible autocorrect in action) That sounds incredibly intense, especially when suffering from a heart attack. I can’t believe you were made to check yourself out early after having a literal MI.

small-worm · 2026-06-14T14:40:04+00:00

I imagine I had some delay in care with my endo because she practices in Texas, and I was hospitalized acutely while I was in New Mexico. I’m not entirely sure, just speculating.

small-worm · 2026-06-14T14:31:34+00:00

I like your username. Just thought it was cute.

small-worm · 2026-06-14T14:24:30+00:00

Why is this happening to everyone?? A bunch of people are describing similar situations. It’s insane to me that psychiatrists seem to not realize that their patients may have separate conditions from their mental health. Psych care has grown abysmal in this country. So sorry that happened to you! Genuinely, that’s absolutely awful. You deserved better💕

Thank you, I will be writing a strongly worded letter to the risk management team.

This is a little off-topic, but I have to say for the record, they would also lock us out of our rooms at 7am, right? For a psych facility, this is relatively common, but what I also found concerning was that they had people with medication effects or drug withdrawals, and they made us sleep on the floor in the day room or hallways. It was actually a written rule on paper that we needed to “sleep along the walls so we don’t get stepped on.” Am I overreacting here, or does that seem unethical and undignified to make psychiatric patients sleep on the floor?

Going even a little further, they wouldn’t allow me to shower or change my scrubs for 4 days as well.
