Does fall where it's beginning to get colder affect your blood sugar?

I've noticed for the past week and half that my blood sugars have been higher than normal and I've been doing the same routine basically.

In the past I didn't notice this maybe because my medication was at a higher dose and it's since been lowered.

Not sure if there is something I can do about it or does my body just need to get used to winter coming.

Any viable core strength builds for T10 escalations?

Aside from a core strength status build, do people run anything else in high escalations? Just curious to hear and looking to clear up some stash space of these pieces I saved up for builds I never completed.

Am I taking crazy pills? MM in escalation does not work.

I'm mming for T8 and I get grouped with a level 19 guy in normal purple gear, not proto gear gear, regular purple gear. I don't even understand how this works.

Was Paradox stealth nerfed with chem launchers?

People were saying it was in chat but you know how chat is, just curious if there was any validity to it.

What secondary weapon are you running to nullify Variety Pack in escalation?

I'm looking to level a gun up to refresh that debuff, what's everyone running?

Not sure if Agitator is worth bringing to 30 but the holstered 50% less threat seems useful? It's that or maybe a lexington with back and forth or optimist. What are you guys doing for T8-T10 escalations?

Clan question, how to remain as clan leader if you become inactive?

Can you remove everyone in the clan and be the sole person left or does it have some safeguard where it must have x members enrolled?

I'm looking to take a break but would like to keep my clan in tact without it passing leadership to an offline member which happened last time.

Doctor finally let me stop taking Steglatro (similar to Jardiance)

I'm down to 500mg of metformin after a year and a half of good A1C1s, I'm a bit nervous as how my body will react and hoping I can adapt to the lower medication. We'll start seeing this week how my blood sugars are, I'm excited though, this is what I've been working hard toward.

What stats get boosted when you prototype future initiative also what are best augments to use?

Does the core attribute changing to 1.5 count as the max stat roll so the other attribute has a slight chance to max or vice versa?

Are people just using paradox on it to refresh their chem heals?

How do you guys deal with borderline high cholesterol and high LDL?

I just got some blood work done and my A1C1 was good but my ldl was higher than I want it to be. I was looking at the reasons and it most likely is diet as I eat pretty similar items weekly but I haven't really been closely monitoring saturated fats.

The past maybe 2 months I started snacking on salami after costco gave me a sample, I didn't think much of it at the time but I think eating multiple pieces daily has bumped up my ldl.

I also have 2 breakfast sausages daily and this also might be bumping my ldl and sometimes bacon too which both seems are high in saturated fat.

I guess I need to be more mindful of what is high in saturated fats and cut some of that out as I get so locked in on avoiding carbs.

Have you guys tried chia seeds to curb cholesterol, if so how is that working out for you? How do you use it and when do you have it?

Just looking for ideas to help lower my ldl a bit.

Is Escalation matchmaking putting you on the wrong tiers?

Seems like I join a group and we start at a different difficulty than I started. I've had people complain why we're doing a harder one when they're low level which confused me at the time because I'm like why are you matchmaking at this higher tier.

Is this a known issue, you get put in a random tier group instead of the one you selected to mm in?

Is there a viable setup for refractor at higher escalations other than drone?

With how Paradox works with chem launchers, could oxidizer be an option instead of using a drone?

If this was viable, what pieces would you use.

I was thinking of stacking paradox on 4 pieces and maybe an Investor mask but unsure of a backpack or chest. Combined arms only lasts 3s, shooting switching back and forth with a chem launcher and a gun seems clunky. Oxidizer also seems to not be a status effect so that knocks some stuff out too.

Just curious if this is something to look into or just stick with a drone.

Massive does not value your time as a veteran player with escalation

I'm matchmaking in T8 and I come across this character, fully decked out in protos bypassing the expertise level up with a crit chance/frenzy lmg with all pieces they never even had to craft. How is this suppose to be the endgame when you literally skip the rest of the game to play this mode. Makes me wonder why I'm grinding this game when they do not respect my playtime.

So escalation is pretty dead already when Striker is not the targeted loot...

Been mming on and off for the past 3 hours for T6-T10, only have had 2 groups go. Who can even farm cores like this.

Lantern still bugged at attic, completely frustrating

I'm on a second character which had 0 lanterns claimed as my main had bugged ones and was following the numbered map order and I get to the Attic and it's been activated even though I didn't get credit for it, if someone joins my session and goes there to activate it, would I get credit for it or is that how it was bugged?

Regardless, such a waste of time doing this.
