My Mum went through CAR-T for lymphoma earlier this year. It's a brutal therapy but can offer benefits in the long term. As you mentioned, the big issues are around infections. It completely wipes out the immune system,…
I would advise taking a K2 MK7 supplement with D3, or get a supplement that contains both. Personally, I take one capsule a day that contains both 3000IU of D3 and 100μg of K2 MK7. D3 by itself can cause high calcium…
Insulin levels are massively overlooked. You can have normal blood glucose but excessive insulin levels due to insulin resistance, which leads to type 2 diabetes. As another poster mentioned, it won't happen either…
Now imagine having that entire responsibility yourself, having to do it all manually. That's what we type 1 diabetics do every day! The nighttime fluctuations could be legit changes in glucose level, but could also be…
It's difficult to tell if IF alone had a change because I also switched to a very low carbohydrate diet at pretty-much the same time. The two combined had a massively positive effect on my diabetes. My glucose level is…
The problem with looking at what something delivers is that the time between taking the action and noticing what was delivered. There's often days, weeks, or even months (especially in the case of going to the gym)…
Type 1 diabetic here. My body doesn't produce insulin, so if my glucose level goes up after eating or drinking something, that increase in glucose is a (very) approximate measure of insulin response in someone without…
No mention of Grenadier apples, unfortunately. Perhaps understandably so. They're impossible to find in most shops due to them not storing well and being quite ugly. We have a tree in our garden and the apples are…
I've been using Dark Sky for years but I uninstalled it yesterday. Since the acquisition, the native Weather app has been massively upgraded with a lot of Dark Sky's best features and is very good now. I ran the two in…
> I have little knowledge of the log aggregation domain, but generally indices are great for read mostly loads. Generally, you write and read to/from the same index in Elasticsearch. Where this falls apart is that…
I believe the complaints here are a case of 'not using it correctly'. The 'Reverse index' (Lucene's inverted index) is a fundamental data structure used to enable very fast search. Other data structures, like KD trees,…
> To reiterate, I take zero boluses when I’m on the keto diet. I'm very surprised by this and would love to hear what you eat while doing keto. I'm T1 but still have to bolus when doing keto, even when doing zero carb…
A large (135cm diameter) umbrella. It cost just under £30 and I love using it. I've always had a good outdoor coat but my legs and feet would still get wet. With the umbrella, only my toes get wet in a downpour. It's…
That's not a problem as long as they're wearing the P3 respirator!
I work remotely and rent an office in town. It's a 15 minute walk from my house, a decent size (~22m^2), all my own, and well set up. I love it and pay gladly but I it's not possible for everyone. I used to have a…
Came here to recommend you! Your newsletter always provides both enlightenment and a giggle.
You don't have to. You can, however, if you want to. I used this stack (S3, CF, R53, & ACM for SSL cert) to deploy a static site built using Hugo, which can deploy directly to an S3 bucket. If you're crafting the site…
What I like about some certifications is that they're effectively a learning path. Even if you don't take the exam, after going through the curriculum, doing labs to cement the knowledge, and practiced sample exams,…
This is a great introduction to writing an interpreter if you know, or are learning, Go: https://interpreterbook.com/ There's a follow-up as well: https://compilerbook.com/
One big commonality I found is that a woodworking joint (dovetail, mortice & tenon, etc) is equivalent to a software design pattern. There are very well-established procedures for common problems.
My comment wasn't clear; apologies. I was referring to someone who had blood drawn to test for and diagnose high insulin levels. I'd classify anyone having that test in a clinical setting to be a patient.
That seems a bit strange. Here in the UK, I don't have a prescription (despite being type 1 diabetic) but occasionally self-fund the devices directly from Abbott. I get a VAT excemption so it costs ~£45 per unit, which…
Summary: I have no citation but my understanding is that measuring insulin levels needs to be done from a blood draw, so a Freestyle Libre-type device wouldn't work. The Freestyle Libre and regular continuous glucose…
