| virgil, hypoglycemia doesn't sound fun at all. I've had what they call "hypos", where my blood sugar drops. The most recent one I had was last Wednesday. I'd just brought all my groceries in when I started feeling shaky, sweaty, weak and light-headed. Horrible feeling. So I ate a fruit and... |

I know that it's possible to reverse it and go into 'remission', as my doctor said. My dad has had diabetes for over 10 years (he will be 80 in July) and he's healthy otherwise.
I wonder if the lady you knew used those plants as a supplement to other food, or she ate them exclusively. |

| You passed the land surveyor exam with 100%, right? You're far from stupid, that shows you're quite smart. |

| ^Spina Bifida is not a developmental disability as such. It's a spinal defect where the spinal cord bulges out of a gap in the bones of the spine. Symptoms are often paralysis from the waist down and possibly incontinence. I have spina bifida occulta where there's a gap in the bones of the spine but... |

| Psychology has a mathematical element: statistics. For me, advanced statistics at uni had a three hour, open book exam. I sat through the whole thing sweating because it was so hard. Before the exam I went to a tutor for the whole semester because I found statistics difficult to grasp. I passed in t... |

| Even though you haven't had it yet, maybe you could try eating a bit of chocolate every second or third day, to lessen the guilt you feel. |

| Doctors and other health professionals make out that it's easy to stop smoking probably because they never got addicted to it. It surprises me when I see young people smoking or vaping, I'm like, seriously? They must know the risks or they've been living under a rock. An online friend of mine who's ... |

| Easier: A quiet and dark room. I'm ok with a fan on in the summer and the noise of my housemate watching tv two rooms away, though. Harder: having a long nap during the day. I try not to, and now that I'm on Vyvanse I tend not to feel the need for one. There are also two cats who like to meow and sc... |

| Heredity could be a factor because my dad has type 2 diabetes as well. He's been an alcoholic and I suppose that didn't help. When he got diagnosed he stopped drinking. I don't drink alcohol at all. Smoking must be one of the hardest things to give up. As an example, I remember my first stepdad tryi... |

I haven't had a cold virus for six years. And then it was more like a coughing virus, very irritated throat. It was so bad coughing all the time, I couldn't work because people wouldn't want to be around someone coughing all the time.
It's soon time to get a flu vaccination. |

She ended up having a gastric sleeve but didn't change her diet. She still ate sugary, fatty foods and actually gained more weight. nick, I was put on ... |

| I've always felt uncomfortable saying my first name. Even now in my late 40s it feels weird. I have shortened it so it feels easier to say, but my family continue to say the full version. That's ok because it is just them who say my name, I don't have to say it to them. I got teased about my last na... |

| Hey, thanks again. :) I've only heard of people losing weight on the diabetes medication called Ozempic. But it costs a fortune here. I'll just stick to the metformin. So far I go #1 less and#2 more. TMI, heh. But those are the only effects I've had so far. Tomorrow I'm going to Aldi to find some he... |
