Should my blood sugar be this low?
Back story: Diagnosed as prediabetic last April. Still prediabetic last September. I SUCK at being prediabetic and this is mostly about not being regular with blood sugar testing. Now the question. I've pretty much lost control of my eating since the holidays. Come girl scout cookie time, I'm not even joking when I say…

Anyone else have a Garmin Vivofit 4?
Mine has been acting a bit wonky (I think). I only pay attention to the calories burned and it used to be very consistent with giving me 150 calories per hour of walking. Now, I'm lucky if I get 100. My exercise hasn't changed other than I'm walking outside less than I used to but, even then, it was 150 cals inside or out.…

Newly Prediabetic: My Villain Origin Story
Soooooooo, I, Ms. I Love Carbs So Much I'd Marry Them, have been finally diagnosed as prediabetic. TL:DR: I have questions. Please have answers :) I still don't fancy cook (more than two or three ingredients on a stove or in the oven) and don't want to but I can now hard boil eggs in the microwave and do like a riced…

Glucose Monitors!
I'm officially prediabetic now so which glucose monitors are you using? I'm in touch with my doctor (sorta, Doogie Howser hasn't email me back yet) on what my medical insurance recommends and if they'll pay for part of it. But, until then, I'm driving myself crazy trying to pick one. I'm going for cheap (duh), accurateish…

Help me choose which category to put this in
I'm finally going to ask for my weird nichey help on being newly prediabetic. Which category should I put it in? Health and Weight Loss* You can't edit the choices? :(

AITA - Apt building parking issue
Because I'm tired of reading reddit and quora :) We have assigned parking spaces in my apt building complex. Anyway, the caregiver that parks in the spot next to me parks juuuuuust a touch over the line. They pull in. I back in. It's only truly a problem when I need to get something out of the passenger side or put air in…

I'm sick. And indecisive.
What should I take? There's sneezing and lots of blowing of the nose and a sore throat that was worse yesterday. I may or may not have a fever. My body temp runs low and last I took it, it was 97.7 when I'm normally 96.whatever. This isn't allergies (which I normally get...and my allergy medicine didn't help) or Covid. I…

The plastic/foil protective covering on containers
I don't think we've had a poll in a while. You know how containers of cottage cheese/yogurt/protein powder/etc have that really stuck on protective covering under the lid? What do you do with it once you open the container and put the leftovers back in the fridge/freezer?

So everyday I walk laps around the parking structure across from my work building
Today, the head of security was taking pictures of me and stopped me and told me to leave. I wouldn't because I've been doing this like 3 times a day everyday and the parking guy knows me and never said anything. He physically stopped me (by standing in my way) from moving, said I was trespassing, that I was on 5 different…

Need cell phone recommendations
First things first. I'm cheap (like I don't want to spend more than $150, a nice round number) and an android girl. Soooooooo I have Motorola G6. A couple years back it got into a fight with a Running Buddy pouch and the Running Buddy won. The back of the phone came unglued and it apparently also needed a new battery. The…

Unposted comments not deleting
This is sort of a weird one, I think. :) At times I'll start typing a comment and either think better of posting it or get distracted and an hour later come back and the window for responding is closed...or whatever. I try deleting what was typed and it's gone but then I'll come back to the thread and the unposted comment…

I just unlinked my garmin vivofit 4 and will be manually adding exercise calories
So I need a quick tutorial. My garmin's gone wonky after having the batteries replaced. It was pretty consistent on the exercise calories it gave me and the calories were consistent when I had it linked. I do a lot of exercise but, instead of giving me a usual tdee of around 2000/2100 calories, all the exercise I add is…

Next medical quandry
The advice nurse wait is 4 hours long so it's you non doctors for now :) You know how there's ringing in the ears when you have tinnitus? I have like static or a dead air sound that's not...going...away. And when I say that, I mean it doesn't stop. And it's been going on for a week (or so) straight. It's definitely not a…

Do you live with pain?
How? Just...how? This alleged constipation has been going on for over 2 months now and I'm in pain 24/7. Extra strength Tylenol doesn't help (it might have when I doubled the dosage but that's half the maximum for the day), Tylenol with codeine didn't help, Gas X doesn't do much. I even did what I really didn't want to and…

Thinking of buying a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite but...
Ok my fave randos... It'll mostly be for watching videos and surfing the internet and fun stuff like that. I would normally go higher end but I'm really trying to save money and this is on sale plus an extra 10% discount. My two concerns are: 8.7” display with 1340 x 800 resolution 3 gbs ram I'm cool with everything…

Problems with quick add calories
So whenever I try to either edit the quick add calories or add a new entry, it takes me to the log in screen. If I log in, I can add a new entry but only on the current day. And I can't edit a prior quick add entry at all.

Poopy talk! (Obviously this will be a TMI post)
Disclaimer: I've been to urgent care and my oral surgeon (who has opinions whenever I'm not feeling well) and I know there aren't many doctors around here (but we have nurses!) and I don't mind internet randos giving advice because how else are you going to find others in the same predicament you're in? And I have…

Only a few days left of 2021...How'd you do?
So what goals did you have? Did you hit them? Did you hit them so hard because you DIDN'T hit them? :) I actually gained .4 lbs. (Yeah, you saw that right and NO I'm not freaking out. :p ) It's just funny and weird because I mostly maintained between 102-104 for the year but it steadily climbed during December. I blame it…

Silken tofu mousse/pudding question
So I went cray cray and bought some silken tofu. The only thing I'm almost confident about making with it is the vegan chocolate mousse. Three ingredients and you basically just blend them together. How badly could I screw that up?? Don't answer that. 😀 So tofu, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. I don't have the cocoa powder…

Pants Sizing Question
This is delicate and I don't know where else to turn. A quick google search was no help. Soooooooooooo I bought a pair of sweats from Target that are everything I need. Cheap, comfy, warm, deep pockets, not too long in the legs. But there's one problem. It's a little too friendly with my crotch and butt crack. Like there's…

Came across a promoted diet website while scrolling through twitter
Not sure this is the right place but wth :) Their deal is you don't count calories for 5 days but reset and follow rules and log for 2 days. I took the quiz and they told me....well, they sent a letter trying to get me to sign up and I just emailed this back: I'm not signing up but I really feel the need to tell you why. I…

Auto Insurance
Ok, so I had a little accident at the beginning of the year, my policy is up in 3 weeks, and the rates more than doubled. They want $1,588 every 6 months now. Who are you with? Do you like them? Any coverage one doesn't REALLY need in said auto policy? Progressive's out. The quote is too close to what I'm on the verge of…
