On a water fast diet right now to get my blood sugar under control, I let it go again…

508

Has a doctor recommended this?

I reversed my Type 2 diabetes through weight loss and diet modification. NEVER did a doctor recommend fasting.

I argue with my p cp now. I say I’m no longer diabetic, he says I’m a “well maintained diabetic”.

509

Not really. Working on the weight loss and diet.

I know I’ve said it before, but I get the distinct sense that the people most eager to achieve TL3 are the people who probably shouldn’t have it, and will almost certainly lose it quickly.

Also, I miss the ability to ignore specific users. I understand the quaint theory that ignoring people isn’t conducive to an open discussion, but the fact remains that there are people posting who aren’t interested in discussion.

Ooof, poor brother of mine is suffering from gallstones, with surgery later today to remove the gall bladder. I had to do a rush trip to get his house key (he was in an ER room) so I can walk his dog and feed her and his cat tonight, maybe tomorrow morning too.

Wish your brother well. Gallstones are not a pleasurable experience.

Thank you. (I can pretty much tell from how much it is taking out of him. He’s on par with me when it comes to pain tolerance, so if he’s expressing this much pain it is excruciating. The fact that within three days of diagnosis he is right back in the hospital and scheduled for surgery tells me he probably was ignoring lesser pain for some time.)

Please use caution. Fasting while diabetic can be dangerous. It’s not the correct way to lower your sugar and can set you up for ( my doctor’s phrase) a"glucose roller-coaster"

Making a pot of chili tonight. Need to swing by work real quick to pick up the half pound of shredded Carolina Reaper cheddar I left there last night.

Hope none of it found its way onto customer food. It packs a bit more punch than your average pizza cheese. :hot_face:

Edit - Derp… roommate is working today, so I can ask him to bring it home after his shift.

I am very wary of anything like that I post, for exactly that reason TW.

Typically, it is just links anyway, for like a UI rsset or a quest on wowhead or something. I honestly cannot remember if I have ever even posted a YouTube vid.

We’ve been hit with a “code red” for extreme weather. Temps out this way expected to get up to 45 (113, for you upside-down past folks). I am really jealous of anyone getting snow, right now…

Mastadon, I have posted one video, I think? A Tim Minchin Christmas song.

Wind and pouring rain out here. I saw a (heart-breaking) article about how the heat over there is impacting bat colonies.

We’re looking at a decent amount of snow this weekend, but it’s going to be accompanied by some very cold temps too :frowning:

We might get 20+cms (~8inches) of snow and temps around -30C (-22f).

I’m excited about the snow…not so much for the temps!

It is my very favourite Christmas song. Then Fairytale of New York, by the Pogues.

And then, as weird as it sounds, when put together with those two… Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas. Because MG loved that song, and every year around Christmas, she’d link the video of the Navy crew lip-syncing to it.

I don’t feel nearly as bad now reading what you are about to get hit with Perl

Is cold here, and getting below freezing this week. Hubs is all about riding his motorcycle to work, though.

:woman_shrugging:

Haven’t heard the Pogues’ song yet, but I’m in full agreement on All I Want For Christmas and White Wine in the Sun. I don’t care if they’re the only two Xmas songs I hear, but they’re the only two I have to hear.

Edit - This is Teufelgott, btw.
