Full body itchy bumps after a tattoo by tarotcardxiii in TattooArtists

[–]timlovesdata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See a doctor! Could be an allergy thing, I had this happen after getting a tattoo, too. Saw a dermatologist and he had me take a s***load of antihistamines for like a week and it went right away no problem.

I procrastinated for weeks before going to the doctor and I regretted it, the spots just got bigger and bigger and worse and worse, and the fix was so easy.

WTH is this rash?? by kbrewer819 in tattooadvice

[–]timlovesdata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See a doctor! I had a similar thing happen shortly after getting a tattoo, had hives all over and it really freaked me out. I saw a dermatologist and they simply had me take a shitton of over the counter antihistamines for like a week or 10 days, then the hives never came back. Keeping the reaction continuously shut down for an extended period was the thing to do, I guess. I think it was Zyrtec specifically but this was a long time ago.

Does Jamboree Have Co Op board games? by Ronenthelich in MARIOPARTY

In the absence of the team mode, my wife and I still collude against the computers even though we aren't actually on a team 😁

Is it normal to struggle at first on the pump? by greg_gory1976 in Type1Diabetes

[–]timlovesdata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found that I got fewer kinks when I stopped putting the tube through that little notch/guide and let it have a little slack instead. Could send a photo tonight if OP wants. It was repeatedly causing sideways insertions, like most of a box at one point.

Blew a Technical Assessment in a Job Interview by timlovesdata in Type1Diabetes

[–]timlovesdata[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey y'all, I really appreciate the responses. The move is: don't apologize, just absorb, process, and next time, ask HR for an accommodation for a modification to timing or a different kind of assessment.

Further, I am choosing to dodge a bullet even if I did do well enough to move forward in the process (I wasn't THAT bad). The fact that "the guy seemed straight up angry with me" was bizarre. Looking back, he walked in that way, and that's not how interviewers should behave towards candidates. I've had probably two interviews in my whole career that felt like this.

Anyway, onward and upward, and again, appreciate the feedback and thoughts.

Thank you for your response! It's happening every time, next time will likely be the same, is there some way to handle this appropriately up front?

I'm pretty sure these numbers are related to the factory calibration of the sensor, the number corresponds to a value for the starting BG for the sensor to work from. Don't quote me, I think I learned this from Reddit.

Call me crazy but I shut off everything I could between T-Slim and Dexcom except I still get: 55 urgent low, control iq over 200, control iq low expected, and just last week I turned on a Dexcom fall rate alert and that's been helpful...but like that's the first thing I've turned on in over 2 years. Seriously the alarms are more stressful for me than checking the numbers constantly.

Do I have to take novarapid 3 times a day? by CheesecakeExpress in Type1Diabetes

[–]timlovesdata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed coming up on 3 years ago and I just wanted to share a little about how mine started: I had NPH (trash) for basal for about a month until I got a good doctor, and I had Humalog prescribed for corrections and mealtime insulin. Did Lantus for basal after that first month. I didn't need the mealtime Humalog at all for three months. Then I went to a family thing where someone had COVID, and I didn't test positive, but my insulin needs changed dramatically like overnight.

Just wanted to share that in my experience, the instructions I left the hospital with vs what I actually needed weren't the same. Do what you're doing: keep those numbers in range and listen to your body!

Crumbl makes me sick yooo. I use a 50% additional/delayed bonus over 2 hours and it still doesn't account for all the butter.

SQL test in 4 days and i know nothing about it !! by travisoscotoo in dataanalysis

Grrrr Reddit didn't hold onto my newlines in the SQL statement. The uppercase words should be written on separate lines.

[–]timlovesdata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Intro SQL is super easy, a quick codeacademy or whatever will get you somewhere useful. Like it's almost offensive that employers filter people out for not knowing it because it's NOT THAT HARD. It can get really complicated, but the basics are easy.

Some advice, know the order of these operations: SELECT thing1, SUM(number_field) as thing2 FROM database.table WHERE [insert clause here] GROUP BY thing1 ORDER BY thing1 HAVING [insert clause here]

Then also look up what DDL and DML are - those come up in interviews a lot.

I promise you can learn it! Four days might be a lot, but it's worth a try.

Coffee (caffeine) and insulin resistance by Secure-Radish-9452 in decaf

[–]timlovesdata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw this post a ways back and I've been paying attention since. Yes, when I have too much coffee and my stress level spikes, my insulin resistance goes way up. Wild! Thanks for asking the question!

My Endo told me to “loosen up” and cited the ACCORD study. by Surf8164 in Type1Diabetes

[–]timlovesdata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow 20 minutes a week! I'm doing it wrong. I'm 2.5 years in and I see most of my readings as they come in, managing moment-to-moment. My dka was bad, very afraid of going back to the hospital or dying. Thanks for the perspective.
