You are doing really well @Mendalla. I would think you just need to keep doing what you are doing.

In my case, I was never managed sufficiently on diet and exercise alone. Even in pregnancy (I started with GDM) I was on a good whack of insulin.

The game changer in recent years has been the continuous glucose monitor. I started with the Free Style 1 but was frustrated with the sensors constantly falling off.

This is not a problem with the Free Style 2 and it is more accurate to boot. Absolute game changer as I said but with a long learning curve. I have a pretty good understanding of what my sugars typically do under different circumstances. Still learning the range of what they might do.
 
Doesn't have much benefit for someone like me who can get away with just occasional testing but for insulin dependent or other cases needing more regular testing, it seems like the way to go nowadays.

Insulin requiring is the term for a person like me. Many patients use metformin in addition to insulin but I cannot tolerate it.

Ozempic and the like are other possibilities. But I am not keen on the idea of a drug with potential side effects that are so awful. Lots of folks put up with the side effects because these drugs usually promote weight loss.

The other type 2 diabetic that I work with says he might be going to Ozempic but he has weight issues alongside his diabetes. My weight is under control as is so I can't see myself going there yet. The guy leads a very active lifestyle so I would have expected his control to be pretty good even with weight issues. Biking, canoe trips, and such. He retires middle of this year and I am going to miss him. We did a major project together a few years back.

Soul, or sol is an interesting concept as defined by one side or the other of this singularity we call by that name.

Some declare that soul is the organ (inorganic) of consciousness while other say it is an enigma if not conscious it is at rest and not right to expect it to be WOKE ... thus what else can we say about it if it is out of the picture?

Are we unclear about that when the primary command is to clearly make room for it and have nothing in front of it? That'd be God's ole ...

NB: be careful you you say the name or it may be taken vainly as the matter on hand looks back on its immaterial portion ... a mire essence? Freud would call it a vapor and the unsafe would raise great paranoia about it although it is said to exclaim to have no fear and it is nothing ... part of the ultimate enigma about the singularity that is nothing while being all inclusive ... spatial eh?

That's the word!

Imagine a great power being entrained in this extractive device that takes your thoughts away ... that's IHC eh ...?

Read and then seep as some are juiced or jews*ID by the ultimate comprehension ... after being WOKE to what they feared was evil ... when it was not as they desired by great emotional overcoming's ... covered in it! occurring to the covenant on fecundity! Fertility spread ...

It is a narrative that goes on apparently with no end TU ide ... rather circular and tubal like a rounded horn ... or a viper consuming itself ... as a unending snake in the grass? How the ant sees a verdant surrounding as the beginning of awareness of being under the grass ... that is out of the picture for many in full flight due to their paranoia about bugs, etc.

Today was a sloth day. I feel a little cruddy from the drugs. Hopefully that means they are doing their thing. I started another hat for the chemo clinic. I took four in with me on Friday. They got ooos and aahhhs. :)
 
Good morning! For injections, given to others or ourselves, for diabetes of different stripes, sloth days and knitting hats, views of nice days, describing a soul, and all that will pop up today comes with us to the Coffee Cart. We discuss, ponder, support, and build community over coffee, tea, and baked goodies, which today is bear claws. Come by when you have a chance, have a cup or mug and a bear claw, and join in the conversations! All is ready, coffee fresh and tea water hot;, all are welcome.

Good morning! Looks like winter has returned to these parts for now. A bit of snow on the ground, and breezy this morning.
We still have bear claws from yesterday, reasonably fresh; plus we have 'borrowed' some of what BethAnne baked yesterday, to go along with the fresh brewed coffee, and steeped tea. As we indulge in the goodies, we gather round the Coffee Cart, to chat, support, and enjoy the company. Drop by when you have a chance, and start a conversation, to join one already started. All is ready, all are welcome!

Posing as abstracts and thus unbelievable to those without that concern ... that'd be about all that was mist previously! They didn't get it ... not a bit!

Brain food? Bread for the soul ... this disappears into the great void ... an unknown receptor! For complex and unreal narratives ... abstracts?
 
Cookies, scams and other concerns that even the builders of cookies don't know have been added to their cookies as unknowns ...

I am deluded with demands form the IT system trying to establish my ID so they can run off with it. The telephone company and the banks being the worst of it ...

Several organizations wish us to automate all transactions so "somebody" will not have to think about or process the information and logic ... leading us to an end that is deficient in something unspeakable. One minister in my youth declared knowledge evil according to his interpretation and phi;osophy the worst kind of information ... but only "he" had the proper wisdom as it appeared be controlled God ... a God Syndrome?

Does this fecundity spread?

I heard news this morning of a man being scammed out of his life savings, somehow through the banking system as he was very carful with his codes and passwords! Somehow the thing was resolved and the parties involved will not say how this occurred ... and yet they claim there are no scared items or Gnostics (secret personalities). The Eve appeared with multiple facets of personality ... as the dark often does ... and with the oblivion you cannot see it coming ... why some individuals have trouble resting while their associates pray and wish for God knows what ... and you may ne accountable for that ...

In relief no one understood ... because of what is censured ... by those managing alien functionalities ... while the paradigm didn't even ask ... thus outliers as exceptions!

This happens when large things shatter ... generating cutting shards! Pieces of humanity scattering ...

Could shards be used like Eros head to open the heart as declared in that song that begs to know even the most painful matters? Empathetic eh! Many managers will have nothing to do with it thus the rise of nothing on that dark night when it all went away ... possibly with the unseen horseman ... Zorro?

It was ... all so dark and vague ... that dream! Bear with it a bit as if a black stick ... and maybe something will erupt ... that's evolution Eire ... like breaths ...

Passed my truck's doppelganger this morning, way off into a ditch along hwy 400. It's -7C, snowing pretty good, and conditions are mid-winter again.

This is not my fault. I did not ask for this.

Pray to God if you want, but leave the winter tires on.
 
We got a fresh snow dumping on Sunday night. Today we are just dealing with a -14 temperature. This certainly seems like the never-ending winter.
My sister and I laugh at ourselves for our new version of a social life and entertainment….It’s at Mom’s long-term care home. We’ve made new friends and participate in the entertainment there. Yesterday I helped 3 residents play Bingo. Mom never leaves her room if we aren’t there to do things with her.
One week today is my latest gallbladder surgery date.
 
Our weather forecast is for a mix of sun and cloud. The incredibly slow thaw continues but we still have snow banks.
My poor partner is battling a painful back lately. Neither of us are overjoyed about an hour trip for one of my scheduled CT scans. Tomorrow is a respirology appointment in Saskatoon which will be even more challenging. Hoping the back pain resolves soon.

On Saturday I attended the bridal shower for a grandson's chosen partner. It was a challenge to navigate in a strange room surrounded by people I didn't know. It was held in the bride's hometown. I didn't want to ask where the coat rack and gift table were so I wandered around until I could see them. I didn't see the many gifts she received and amused myself by guessing what they might be.
 
Had family drop in yesterday for a coffee around 4pm, and they didn't leave until 9:30pm! What a great visit.
Nice to have something unplanned.


We had high winds and flurries while they were here, but, it didn't stay. Today, though, back down to -6.
At least the sky is bright.
 
February in April, you know I hate it. But it happens. I had one snowday in April that I can recall in my school days (Kitchener). And my son was born in late March and we still had more snow after he was born. Forget if that was end of March or start of April. We were in Hamilton at that time.
 
I remember April snow. When I was growing up it seemed to happen just after three city put away the show clearing equipment. My brother's birthday is April 11. There was snow around that date more than once. Or twice.

April snow is not uncommon here. But it usually disappears quite quickly.

That's the thing with today. We are in the -2 to -5 range so it might stay for a day. I do recall having to brush off a car in May but that was in Halifax when Mrs. M lived Down East.

You should hear the racous bird opera
I think they enjoy the sun
(I heard a brand new call from those punk crows, Stellar's Jay)

Thank you, Jesus, for another day

Peace and Joy for all
