Two of my G7 sensors failed in a row within 3 days. Do you all think I just got a bad batch? I have never had that happen in over 1 year of switching to Dexcom from Libre due to insurance change. My Libre sensors have never failed like this. I tried contacting customer service but gave up because it was too tedious.
Made a huge mistake of NOT putting fiber as high in importance as the protein. I had hemorrhoids couple of years ago. It was painful then but went away after a few days. Last week thought I was getting enough fiber because I was eating prunes every day. I guess I inadvertently strained (nothing noticeable) because of mild constipation. They started flaring up again. I then took miralax and started the preparation H. Well, fast forward a few days, while on a long flight for a work trip to Asia (14 hour flight) one hour into the flight I started trickling blood. I mean enough to have to wear pads. I was petrified. After reaching my destination I saw a GI specialist and turned out I have thromboses in the hemorrhoids. Super uncomfortable and awful. So my cautionary tale to anyone prone to hems, and even those who are not, please make fiber a priority. You don’t want to mess with this stuff. Constipation is serious business and it can creep up very quickly. Now thanks to my negligence, I have to have a colonoscopy once I am back in the US and have a ton of fiber every day. Wishing everyone good digestive health!
Such an informative and interesting interview. I love that it is not coming with a pov or agenda of any sort—just facts and information.
