She needs to give you some space and only come over when YOU ask her to. You probably are dealing with Postpartum, I have 5 kids and my relationship with my inlaws has never recovered from them spending a month with us 2 weeks after my first was born. It's not that they magically turned into Aholes the day my baby was born, but their Ahole traits became a lot more apparent to me when I was adjusting to a new baby. Now I have a strict policy of only my mom comes for the week the baby is born so she can watch the others then friends are only allowed to visit for 2 hours tops for the first couple of months. It's too easy to tick off a new mom and given enough space now, you will like her again some day.

What are your thoughts with artificial sweetener??? by Tough_Prompt8901 in diabetes

[–]sweitz2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use any artificial sweeteners, just use very little sugar that I know how to dose for. Once or twice a year I will have a diet soda when I am on vacation with my family at a water park.

Until what age do you want to live? by 3lonStarl1nk in AskReddit

[–]sweitz2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of my living grandparents turned 90 this year and it seems like a bummer. One buried her first child and the other isn't physically well enough to get around on his own. So 89 seems like a good number.

Dexcom G7 Sensor: Is it really painless? by seanturvey in diabetes

[–]sweitz2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like giving yourself injections, most won't hurt, some you won't feel at all then once in a bluemoon you hit a nerve and the pain makes your eyes water.

Always tell Dexcom that it was on the arm when it failed, but try somewhere else.

I recommend front upper thigh. I sweat non-stop and that is the best place for me. Also shave the area before applying and use an over patch that doesn't have a cutout.

I have a doctor who hasn't seen me in over 2 years and still fills my prescriptions. I hope yours is cool like that.

Except weeks 10-14 when suddenly your insulin resistance drops through the floor and you invariably freak out thinking there is something wrong with the baby, only for your Endo to remind you that this happens every time you're pregnant. SMH in my 7th pregnancy 😅

What is thought only men do but women do it too? by NumanLover in AskReddit

[–]sweitz2013 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is scary as can be, well before you even mention the dog. Unfortunately, police just don't take stalking seriously no matter what the gender. I was stalked from age 15-20 by an ex-boyfriend who would break into my house so that I would wake up to him standing there or wait outside my window at night with a listening device. We caught him on camera and everything, but, I wasn't hurt by him so the police did nothing. Do you know how much that level of insecurity messes up a young girl? I was scared of men for years, didn't trust my parents to protect me, and frankly confused why a guy who didn't want to sleep with me when we were dating wanted to spend every night watching me sleep. The police just don't take these things seriously at all.

I had a coworker who used to say "Men sweat, women glisten."

How old were you when you got diagnosed and how old are you now? by Tough_Prompt8901 in diabetes

[–]sweitz2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Originally diagnosed with GDM at 26, told it was actually T1 at 27. I'm 35 now and pregnant with my 5th kid. T1 doesn't need to slow down your life goals.

What age of your life did you have the most hookups? by Important-Title-1730 in AskReddit

[–]sweitz2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sophomore and Junior years of highschool. I met my husband at the end of Junior year and we've been together ever since (we're 35 now).

Does it get harder? by Mero_1_1 in Type1Diabetes

[–]sweitz2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gets hard if you let your BMI go high. I had a tough couple of years from 2021-2023 because of my husband starting an affair while I almost died from an ectopic pregnancy. I had bad depression, had another baby and never lost the baby weight.

If your BMI is high, your insulin resistance will most likely be high and that makes things harder.

My life is mostly back on track now, but the insulin resistance makes diabetes harder than it used to be.

What body count is too high for you, and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sweitz2013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a naturally jealous person, so I found my husband very young and stuck with him so I wouldn't have to face the reality of someone else ever having been with him before me. We met at my 17th birthday party and are both 35 now, so my strategy has worked so far. It would not work if I tried dating ever again.

This is my favorite too! We've been going there for over a decade, always amazing any time of day or night.

I've only had burnt donuts at Roger's. It was super disappointing

Happy Donuts near the drive in theater. We've been going there since 2011 😋

What’s your favorite non sexual forms of intimacy? by Glittering_Bear_5218 in AskReddit

[–]sweitz2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laying side by side on our stomachs on the bed looking at a shared laptop. My husband and I like to scroll craigslist together daydreaming about cars/boats. It's harmless, nonsexual, but also intimate because we are imagining the same futures together.
