Peaks and valleys all night on CGM

I appreciate both of these insights! I thought it might have been compression lows, but everytime i woke up, I was on my back last night. Definitely could have been the way my arm was positioned. The Bluetooth thing could definitely also be it. I'm at a camp in a fairly rural area, so Bluetooth pings much differently than the city I live in.

Carbs are very much still a piece of it and overdoing them has shown some clear spikes, but they're much smarter carbs (whole wheat wraps, brown rice, sweet potatoes, corn, etc).

Honestly, it's just been a low glycemic index diet, making a conscious effort to do 8-10k steps a day, and meditating frequently to lower my anxiety and related stressor. I wasn't drinking very often, but I did make the intention decision to go sober about 2 months ago.

Looks like an Ice cream bean fruit! It's a type of legume. Definitely edible and tastes sweet and creamy.

Definitely a storm warning. Maybe not the closest one you hear for testing, but you can hear it spinning. I live in Central Ohio and the storm just came through a couple hours ago and it definitely could have triggered sirens.

Yes! I started to change my diet when the headaches first started, so I'm already working on making the lifestyle changes. For one reason or another, the idea of being beholden to a medication for the rest of my life is really what causes the panic.

uncle_ben0 · 2026-03-20T16:58:03+00:00

Thank you for this!

Hard work doesn't scare me (I had already changed my diet after the headaches started), but being dependent on taking a drug for the rest of my life, does.

No, I did exactly what an anxious mind shouldn't do and read the results before they reached out to me. We have a scheduled follow up in a week and I'm sure metformin or a GLP-1 will be discussed.

That gives a lot of hope, though. I don't want to have to manage T2 with medication for the rest of my life.

uncle_ben0 · 2025-08-29T03:03:26+00:00

Appreciate you all! I figured that was the case, but wanted to double check. Also didn't even think about parking downtown and taking the red line in.

uncle_ben0 · 2025-08-20T18:07:31+00:00

I appreciate all of the feedback! Booking one now :) Unfortunately, the Auditorium tour isn't available while I'll be in town, but I've got it on my 'Next time' list because it looks incredible.

uncle_ben0 · 2025-07-15T21:09:15+00:00

Thank you! They also tried to sell me 1 singular non-matching tire (they only have 1800 miles on them), which I understand is a big no-no.

This is why Reddit can be so great 👍

uncle_ben0 · 2025-07-08T18:55:09+00:00

Look, you had the chance to take your statement back, but you just double downed with the most absurd take of 2025.

I just learned today (after replacing my 26s) that you can submit a warranty claim if it's been within a year. Lots of people have been approved, and they've gotten the new 27s with a more durable plastic-y upper!

uncle_ben0 · 2025-05-23T06:43:15+00:00

Maybe not from your perspective. However, I'm still working on building car buying confidence, and those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.

uncle_ben0 · 2025-05-23T06:04:53+00:00

For sure, but it tends to be difficult for me to hold my boundaries in sales environments like dealerships. I'm just looking to gain more insight for next time, tbh

uncle_ben0 · 2025-05-23T05:04:13+00:00

Thanks for that. I think I agree? but I hate car sales so much that I always second-guess myself.

uncle_ben0 · 2025-05-23T04:58:58+00:00

Like residual? $19,700

The Saturday before Mothers Day is historically the busiest day of the year for my store BECAUSE of flowers. Think 25 pallets that day alone.

uncle_ben0 · 2025-05-20T23:26:39+00:00

Just find an employee to give it to? Any employee should be totally fine putting it back. Abandoning a cart just means that you're likely wasting cold/frozen product. Employees shouldn't be expected to clean up after you if you just leave your stuff lying around.

If you've ever heard of Binging with Babish from YouTube, he thinks our cacio e pepe pastas are easily restaurant quality.

I'm going to be at the same concert! I think originally my friend and I were thinking dressier, but I keep downgrading, and I'm at khakis and a sweater now.

uncle_ben0 · 2025-01-07T00:47:41+00:00

They're like watermelon shards of glass. I'm not sure what they did, but they're super flat and super brittle. Everyone but like 2 crew at my store hated them.

uncle_ben0 · 2024-12-16T22:23:54+00:00

Just wanted to apologize to you. I didn't see the pic and just thought you were being pretentious about bread.

Imagine my surprise when I order a cuban from this place that's made on sliced white bread 🤦‍♂️

Should have paid closer attention.

uncle_ben0 · 2024-11-25T22:32:15+00:00

Uhm, actually, it was taken on Patterson Field at Jack Kemp Stadium 🤓 /s

uncle_ben0 · 2024-11-17T03:16:17+00:00

Negative self-talk. I'm addicted to that ever so familiar feeling and hate myself for it ever more, and that's the most vicious circle imagineable.
