What Are You Doing?

I'm just going to paste this straight back to you @Cave Troll .
You never know, you might listen to yourself.

 

@Alan Aspie - while fruit carries benefits junk food doesn’t, us diabetics are advised to avoid it as the sugar content can be just as high as chocolate/cakes etc.

@Cave Troll - I think you may have been listening to too much scaremongering. How can vapng possibly be worse than smoking?

 

Well it turns out that I may not have fallen for fear mongering,
but the cold hard science from actual studies of the ingredients
in vape juices.

I wouldn’t call that ‘cold hard science’. Read the article again and just look at how many ‘key’ words are used; ‘may’, ‘potentially’, ‘could’. Like I said, scaremongering.

 

Yeah I can see that, but they did say at the end that there is more study needed.
Suppose overall putting anything into the lungs is just not a good idea, outside
of atmospheric gases we evolved to breath, with a touch of whatever else is in
the air in your general area.

 

Your last sentence is very moot. I think I’m doing my body more harm breathing the air in my town that vaping and smoking combined

 

Bleh. Woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Wonderful. At least yesterday was fun. Driving to the Hamptons was...an experience. Spent the first hour lost, the other hour annoyed and the last hour apathetic.

 

So you covered all the basics for a road trip.

 

This is what bothers me most. In this day and age, we are still throwing things out there for the public because it has significant monetary value, and not bothering to study it in depth first. We are constantly being used as guinea pigs, and it annoys the hell out of me.

Back on topic, however. What I am doing is catching up on online platforms, as I was off for a couple of days. Also, procrastinating over breakfast. Oats and eggs are all I have. Meh.
Ooooo...I could do pancakes!

 

As CT is currently sleeping.

 

Worst part was: It was all my fault. No, no, girlfriend didn't say that to me. Why state the obvious? Me and my "ooh what's that over there" and "wow, lets go look at that thingamajig" made us lose the route we were on. I am the sidetracked King when going on road trips.....no one to blame but myself, so that made it all the more annoying.

And then, the apathy set in.

 

Getting ready for school. I've got leave for the bus stop soon, and my streets always flooded. Yay

 

That is a possibility depending on how large of a city you live in.
Perhaps do as they do in China and other heavily polluted cities,
and wear something to filter the air. You can get something more
modular and made of fabric in a respirator these days, which would
be much lighter and more comfortable.
Or you can really go all out and get a gas mask which might not be
received so well by the general populace in most parts of the world,
but you will be highly defended from pollution and also gas warfare.

 

TYVM

 

I put stuff in them depending on what flavor they are. The idea is to add protein to them making them a bit healthier that way. Poaching eggs in them is good with chicken ones, ground beef and seasonings like garlic and/or onion go good with the beef, I suspect you get the idea.

 

I agree with @Alan Aspie on the fruit action, and with @Cave Troll on anything resembling smoking, I'm an ex-smoker and it ended up costing me a lot of my health, I might not be in my current situation if not for all those years smoking.

 

And yet my doctor has me inhaling a powdered medication daily.

 

A medication you inhale? That’s a new one on me.

 

Found a vape meme.

 

I must be a rather odd case, I'm a type 2 diabetic (or so the doctors say), but yet I can eat various foods including high carb foods only a couple of hours before having a 'fasting' blood sugar check and have a lower reading (yesterday morning it was 90) than if it was truly a fasting check. Aside from that, since I got the doctor to replace the insulin with an additional oral medication my A1C has gone to the lower 6s and stayed that way so long that they have taken the new oral med off my list and cut the dosage of the old oral by half. I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm not really diabetic after all. BTW, I can include candy in my intake when I get those sugar tests that are so low too.

 

@sleepindawg - I’m not sure I follow. Are you saying you should fast for these tests, but don’t, or are you saying you’re permitted to eat despite it being a fasting test?

Also what do you mean when you say you can take candy when your sugars are low? Do you mean it’s your way of getting your levels back up, or do you mean your doctor advises it?

 

I was first introduced to them back in 2010 and the first one I was hit with had a warning of possible death as a side effect. Now there were dozens of them it seems like. BTW, that rescue inhaler that has been around much longer than that. The first one was invented in 1778, and then there is the atomizers nebulisers which were invented in the 1800s.

 

It's supposed to be a fasting test, no food or drinks other than water after midnight for a finger stick at 6 am, but I have learned from having eaten later than midnight at times that my blood sugar is lower if I don't go the full 6 hours fasting. I do have to fast a couple of hours, and I do have to keep the very high carb foods limited, but I guess my body is odder than I thought before now that I think about it.

Sorry about the confusion I caused, I mean that I can get away with eating some candy and still get the oddly low test results. It seems like when I go too long without food intake my body starts making sugars out of fats or proteins to fix the shortages. I still do get very high readings if I eat shortly (2 hours or less) before the test, but at some point there is a transition from using up sugars, to finding things to convert into sugars for my body to use as fuel.

 

But you're asked to fast so that they can get a true reading. How do you expect them to do that if you don't fast as instructed???
