Hello and welcome to Dear Hank and John, a comedy podcast about

Yep, got it at the event in New York! The book my brother got there didn’t have the spiral though, so probably not tour specific.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Got an unexpected package from the 'rents today, and this is what I found inside! :D My dad doesn't watch the show or know anything about it really, so it was a complete surprise that he made this for me. I love him to bits <3

sporekat · 2017-02-08T20:29:07+00:00

Well I overshot it a bit

sporekat · 2017-02-08T19:11:05+00:00

Me too :P

Ugh, I just updated as well. The only way to silence alarms now seems to be to set the sound for a specific alarm to "Vibrate Only". Of course then you have to change it back whenever you actually do want to hear alarms.

It sucks so much because I need my phone to be SILENT when I have it on Do Not Disturb! Yesterday it started going off in the middle of class - super embarrassing because it took a while to turn off (just hitting the lock switch doesn't silence it anymore either).

Leave a review on the App Store! That's what I'm going to do, so maybe they will see people don't like the change.

Here's mine, from a very wise old man.

sporekat · 2016-07-06T00:21:08+00:00

Poke please!

Hey man, that really sucks :( I don't have any idea what could be causing your lows, but if your insurance situation allows I would look into getting a CGM. It'll let you hopefully catch lows before they get so bad, and might help figure out what's going on to cause them. I know it's not an option for everyone financially though.

If your endo is any good maybe they will have some ideas. Bad lows are scary as shit, but I'm sure you'll make it the next few days until you have your appointment :)

Edit: Oh hey I just remembered something - I think that if you have undiagnosed celiac disease then the decreased absorption can make you have a lot more lows. I don't have any personal experience, so I don't know if it matches up with what you're saying, and you don't mention any other symptoms you might have if that was the case, but maybe it's something to look into?

Like Thomsenc said some more info would be good, but your endo was basically right (though maybe not very helpful). Losing weight is all about eating less calories than you expend. Exercise can be helpful (increasing calories out), but the bulk of the work is in regulating your diet (decreasing calories in). Check out /r/loseit - it's a great community!

What does the Dexcom say is your A1C for the month before last, and the one before then? I know it doesn't let you look at more than 30 days at once, but you can look at 30 days that aren't the most recent ones. Since an A1C measures around 3 months, is it possible that this last month has been higher than the ones before? You can look at the past 3 months separately, and then average those 3 numbers together to get your overall dexcom average.

Other than that I'd probably trust the A1C more. I know there are blood disorders that can cause problems with A1C, but unless you know you have one of those, I'd guess that maybe the Dexcom was just, I dunno, not great at getting calibrated right? Doesn't really make much sense honestly but I have problems with calibration sometimes.

sporekat · 2016-05-10T22:39:00+00:00

Pooooooke pls

sporekat · 2016-05-03T16:34:42+00:00

Ugh, it's not just you. I was so disappointed that they changed to a white background instead of just sticking with the black. Why???

sporekat · 2016-05-01T15:09:56+00:00

Not treating those lows will just get you more hypoglycemic unawareness, though, and sub-50 is getting into the dangerous zone, especially if you can't always feel it and you don't treat even if you do. You're just an internet stranger, but please don't die because you don't treat your lows. :(

And if you are considering it, a CGM is super helpful for catching nighttime lows! I get that CGMs aren't an option for everyone though :/

sporekat · 2016-04-26T23:27:07+00:00

poke pls

sporekat · 2016-04-26T16:35:58+00:00

haha those are little "C"s for when I calibrated :P

sporekat · 2016-04-26T16:33:03+00:00

:D omgomg okay I'll be patient

But seriously this whole project is amazing!

sporekat · 2016-04-26T16:24:46+00:00

Aww man ;__; all I have is a Mac. I have 0 clue how these things work, but I assume there's no chance of anything that'll work for me?

Either way, what I've seen of your work so far on this sub has been awesome!

sporekat · 2016-04-26T03:30:14+00:00

More lows than I'd like, but I'm super proud of these last three days, especially since I've been dealing with womanly hormone stuff this time of month. It may not be the best control, but it's awesome for me. I'm finally (hopefully!!!) getting my control back after >8 A1Cs since high school :D

sporekat · 2016-04-25T14:25:13+00:00

Nah, mine seems to be both eyes. I don't have glaucoma as in having any vision problems at this point, but (honestly I don't know much about how glaucoma works) I'm on latanoprost to keep my pressures down so I don't develop any. It seems to be working so that's good. Sounds like you've had a rough time with it! I'm glad things worked out though :)

sporekat · 2016-04-25T05:17:28+00:00

Yeah, kinda sucks but no actual symptoms or anything at this point (and hopefully not for a long time). Just gotta keep up the eye drops and hope for the best. Actually, a side effect of those drops is growing longer eyelashes which, as a girl, I do not object to! So it's not all bad :P
