Saw a headline "Is Glucose the new Gluten?"

My response: Well maybe but not quite. You aren't going to ask "Do those fries have carbs?". You may be asking "Can I get that on a Whole Wheat bun or lettuce bun?" . I was with a group one day at a burger joint and one guy came out with a burger between two thick wads of lettuce leaves and no bun. It turned out that it was part of a secret menu.

I lost touch with many of my #mutualaid #diabetic friends when I left the bad site, so please boost for me.

My wife’s Opa passed away this week, leaving behind ~7 vials of #Humalog #insulin and a number of #Dexcom #G7 #CGM sensors (non-pump compatible). Everything is paid for and we don’t want it all to go to waste.

If you or someone you know could really use this stuff, please contact me at:

@jcrabapple That's why I take a yogurt with me to work. Something to eat late in the morning that will carry me over to lunchtime.
@bedast My experience was that the Libre got real iffy on day 13-14. I have only worn 1 Libre before the insurance told me to switch to Dexcom G7.
@smallsco I have seen cats in carryon size crates. I assume they are placed at the owners feet during takeoff/landing but as long as the attendants don't put up a stink they could be let out for short periods. I don't think any of my cats would be calm enough for a plane ride.
@jfk for me it is a toss up between #3 with all the clouds and #4 with the washington monument in the center of the picture.
@jcrabapple Oops, I thought it was kbin 4.2 that is supposed to expose API.
