Anyone else feel this way ?
Hi, I’m 39m and I’m 145lbs and 5’7”. I had been eating like crap for the past 2 years and not working out. And 6 months ago I started needing to drinks so much water and pee so much.
So 4 weeks ago I got a blood test for the first time in 10 years. My A1C was 14.3 percent and my doctor put me on glipizide/metformin 2.5/500.
I stopped eating bad food but in the last 4 weeks my average glucose from my stelo glucose monitor is 200-220.
I don’t know much about diabetes and I’m panicking that this will take off years from my life span and I’ll never be able to live a normal life again. I know I might be being overly dramatic but I’m truly scared as to what will happen in the future
Is this a fair price ?
Hi I want to see if anyone else feels this way.
I work my butt off to live up to patients expectations and go above and beyond and to make sure they are fully satisfied with the treatment I give them and make sure they fully understand what is recommended and why is it recommended.
At the end of the month I hit my goal for collections after so much grind. And the first day of the following month I have to do it all over again.
I feel like oh man I gotta do that over again. It’s such hard work. Does anyone else feel like “how am I gonna live up to what I did last month” and it does happen but it’s just a constant grind every day
I own my office in a rural area in a small town.
At the moment I drive a base model 2019 civic and the AC stopped working and the mechanic says I need to replace compressor and it will be a 3k fix.
I’m thinking of just buying a new car and was thinking of getting a Honda accord hybrid or a Lexus es 300.
I want the Lexus because I work my butt off and I like to go home in something comfortable but I’m leaning torwards the accord. I like the fact that patients see me in the civic and that they drive better cars than i do. My civic has scratches and a chip in the front bumper. I feel like it makes me seem more humble and relatable
Yet I work so hard and do want the comfort of a Lexus because all my life I’ve driven Hondas civic or Toyota Corolla. I never had a car with leather seats and my iPhone screen is bigger than the screen in my 2019 civic
Do you think if I go with the Lexus patients would think differently of me ? Also I’ve been driving without AC for 3 weeks and it sucks and I wanna decide should just get ac fixed or buy a new car
Whats the point of working so hard? Im single and don’t have kids. The most pleasurable part of my day was to have a delicious pizza or tacos or Taco Bell but now past months it’s vegetables and white chicken. It’s so boring but i have to eat only that to keep good blood sugar
Is this a good idea ?
* I have 10 percent in bitcoin, at the moment 120k average price is af 87k, not sure where it will go so I’m heavily buying Voo/blue chip stocks
Sacrifice your happiness so the kids stay happy
Why or why not?
Hi,
We have a good group of 11 guy friends since college. Yet since 6 of the guys got married we don’t see them around and much especially since they all had kids. I think they see each other during their kids birthday or when they plan play dates
Wanted to see if that’s normal for the married friends to want to spend time with other married people and don’t spend as much time with their friends who are single or the ones without kids
I’m 39 years es old and always been a bookworm and introverted and lacked social skills and don’t like to socialize but stay at home.
I’m not conventionally attractive so I’ve had a difficult time getting a girlfriend since I was 16. And I really am hard on myself about this. I’m obsessed with getting a pretty girlfriend so I can finally feel how it’s like to date and live the days I missed out on during my twenties but at 39 it’s not realistic to find that pretty girl whose gonna be wanting to date me at my age so I decided that it’s just best to stay single. Those days of getting a pretty girlfriend are gone
My therapist said I should look at life differently now. During my twenties I was missing out on dating that’s true, while many men where enjoying but now (according to him) I have things they yearn for and THEY are the ones missing out. He listed some things about me. He said I’m single so I’m free to do whatever o want and whoever I want. I’m not divorced so I’m not fighting to see my kids like other men are. I’m a dentist and make 35k a month. I have my own dental office and am my own boss. Autonomy in my
Job. Have life experiences of traveling the world and living abroad. And he knows I will retire in 4 more years. I have my health and have a good relationship my my family and friends. So I should forget about trying to get validation by dating a pretty girl and at my age the scoreboard has changed and I should look at it as I am winning
I never looked at it this way. For me it’s, I’m still single and still struggling at dating - it’s embarrassing to me that a 20 year old kid can get a girlfriend easier than I can and he’s been in the dating phase for only 4-5 years while I’ve been trying for the past 20 years plus.
