Hi folks!

I'm so excited that my tenant just received the update that allows embedding HTML files hosted in sharepoint. Previously, they only worked through the document viewer, but now the document viewer has an "embed link" in the menu which you can use to embed into a page. This is really, really handy for things like CoPilot/Claude made dashboards with direct connection to the REST API.

Has anyone heard if the plan is to allow adding HTML directly into pages? If it doesn't come with a ton of JS restrictions, that will be a nice replacement for the modern script editor webpart...

Hi everyone!

I got an Equinox EV 2026, LT1 trim with power seats, a couple of weeks ago. I love how it feels to drive and the one-pedal driving thing. This is my first EV, and also my first American car (well, it's actually made in MX + CA, but... details, details). I have some questions...

* I have noticed something weird: anytime I park and take my foot off the brake pedal, the car rolls back a little even though my garage is flat. The sales guy said it's common and I just have to keep my foot on the break a couple of seconds longer after switching to park. I tried it, but that didn't work. If I use the parking brake, this doesn't happen. Is this actually normal or should I take it in to the service department?

* Since it's the cheaper base model, it doesn't have roof rails. They can't be added at the dealership, can they? Are the cross rails with door jamb the only solution? I don't have a use for them, but I love the look!

* I do have a use for a hitch though - 3 bikes including kid's bikes and one adult step-thru e-bike. The dealership quoted me $1600 which seems pretty high. Online at the GM/Chevy store, the hitch receiver is $800 (with a coupon), but I don't know if that includes the installation price.

Thanks!

Hi everyone. Cis male here, on TRT with very low libido, ED, hypogonadism and well-controlled diabetes. Does anyone have suggestions for a doctor in SE MI or online who could prescribe Dr. Power's formulas? I am especially interested in the pain free ED med.

Dr. Power's wait list is long. My PCP didn't feel comfortable prescribing compounded meds, and my urologist would only prescribe trimix and only from a pharmacy he owns (I know, total conflict of interest). I have tried Edex 20mcg before and it didn't do anything other than tingle.

Also, any suggestions on what labs men usually do for low libido? Urologist only checks TT, free T, E2 and all are normal.

EDIT:

I should mention that I found this sub just a week ago and have found it very informative! Even of a lot of discussion here is about transgender or PFS topics, there is still a ton of great, useful info for men!

I have a couple of unrelated questions that I'm hoping fellow male redditors here can answer... (or females in the medical field).

1. How do you do an infusion set on the leg? Like, where exactly does it go? Especially with semi muscular, hairy legs with lots and lots of visible veins... I have 6mm sets but I am just afraid to poke the wrong place. I do some subq medication shots, and when it's time to do the leg, it almost always bleeds a little.
2. OK, don't laugh at this one... Do you guys ever get a cold penis when your glucose has been running high for days? Especially the glans. I have been running higher than usual after meals (250+) due to prednisone and now training an iLet pump, and I have noticed weird things I haven't noticed before, like the tips of my toes are cold, the head of my penis feels like it's freezing and numb, and the shaft is shrunken (not as bad as getting out of a cold pool, more thinning than turtling). I asked my family doctor about it but he just shrugged it off as it's probably just the prednisone. I am almost done tapering off, just got 4 days to go.

Any thoughts?

EDIT:

You know, I don't understand the instant down votes. Male sexual health is affected tremendously by diabetes and it's a shame people would downvote to avoid discussing such topics.

Hi everyone,

I see a lot of questions in the different diabetes subs about types of diabetes, justification for CGMs or insulin pumps, types of devices available beyond pumps, etc. So, I wanted to share this very helpful resource:

Standards of Care in Diabetes - 2026

American Diabetes Association

https://diabetesjournals.org/care/issue/49/Supplement_1

Some relevant sections:

Chapter 2. Diagnosis and Classification of Diabetes: Standards of Care in Diabetes—2026

https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article-pdf/49/Supplement_1/S27/848854/dc26s002.pdf

* Diabetes classification is evolving with new research, but generally accepted hyperglycemia categories are:

1. Type 1 diabetes (due to autoimmune β-cell destruction, usually leading to absolute insulin deficiency, including latent autoimmune diabetes in adults)

2. Type 2 diabetes (due to a non autoimmune progressive loss of adequate β-cell insulin secretion, frequently on the background of insulin resistance)

3. Specific types of diabetes due to other causes, e.g., monogenic diabetes syndromes, diseases of the exocrine pancreas, and drug- or chemical-induced diabetes

4. Gestational diabetes mellitus (diabetes diagnosed in the second or third tri-mester of pregnancy).

And this is just my notes:

* Typical characteristics of one type do not preclude another. For example, type 1 can also be accompanied by insulin resistance; MODY frequently starts before age 25 but can be diagnosed much later in life, and it can also have an autoimmune component in rare cases.

* From other sources: Type 1 and type 2 can be misdiagnosed 40% of the time. MODY is often misdiagnosed 95% of the time. So it's probably not safe to assume family history of a specific type as there is a good chance even your family was misdiagnosed. Rare types can still occur de novo, without prior family history.

Chapter 7. Diabetes Technology: Standards of Care in Diabetes—2026

https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article-pdf/49/Supplement_1/S150/848844/dc26s007.pdf

My notes:

* CGMs are recommended for anyone diagnosed with diabetes who uses insulin, or is on medications that can cause hypoglycemia, or can otherwise benefit from one to manage their diabetes.

* Intermittent CGMs (where you have to tap the sensor to get a reading) are no longer in the recommendation. General classification is continuous (e.g. libre, dexcom, simplera, instinct, guardian, eversense), over the counter (e.g. rio, stelo, lingo), and professional (used mainly in research or in clinic). Moreover, a BG meter and supplies are highly recommended for anyone using a CGM.

* Insulin pumps (particularly automated systems) should be offered to everyone at the start of insulin therapy, and anyone who is on MDI or using another type of delivery device (e.g. smart insulin pens, insulin patches, mechanical delivery devices). There should be no requirement of time since diagnosis, time since insulin therapy started, or (in my words) any of the nonsense from insurance companies to deny pump coverage!!

I hope this helps! Fight that insurance guys! And call out diabetes myths and misinformation!

How do you guys explain to new doctors that you have MODY, and what it is? Is it always charted wrong?

I have been in the hospital these past few days (for asthma), and the whole time I've been here, every single doctor and nurse who asked me what type of diabetes I have was confused when I replied MODY.

"Do you mean type 1?" No, it's a different type. "Type 2?" No, it's a genetic type, it's a little different from type 1 and type 2. So they move on with a confused look on their face and type something. Now that I'm looking at the chart notes, some are charting me as type 1 and others as type 2. 😀

----

Just want to add: I think it's important to chart things correctly because they become part of medical records. If I ever came back here unconscious and my sugar was high, and they saw type 2 in my history, they might shoot me more insulin than I can handle and send me into hypoglycemia.

Can someone please explain this logic to me. I'm at the hospital, hopefully on my last day here for asthma, and a new nursing tech just came in. I asked her if I could get a coffee, and she said, "black, right?" "No", I responded, "two sugars and two creams." That's when she said: "But it says here you're on a diabetic diet. You can't have sugar."

I was confused. I think I heard the myth that sugar causes diabetes, but this is the first time someone says I literally can't have it. Isn't it just carbs? So as long as they won't raise me too much, of if I bolus appropriately, heck even if I don't bolus and let the pump catch up, having sugar really isn't different than say, crackers, right?

I asked her why not, and she said they're not allowed to. So I said, in the 3 days I've been here the nurses have been putting sugar on my coffee. "But you can't have sugar - you're diabetic", she insisted.

I don't know. Maybe it is a hospital policy, but it sounds strange to me. I looked at the menu and it does state "diabetic diet" and a max of 75g carbs per meal (I never even eat that many carbs at one sitting!). And yet each meal has amounted to 45-50g carbs anyway. So, really, there are carbs left for my coffee. :)

I waited for the nurse to come do her rounds, and she was like, "do you take sugar and cream?" Yes! Yes, I do, two of each, please! ☕

Oh, by the way, the whole time I've been here, every single doctor and nurse who asked me what type of diabetes I have was confused when I replied MODY. "Do you mean type 1?" No, it's a different type. "Type 2?" No, it's a genetic type, it's a little different from type 1 and type 2. So they move on with a confused look on their face and type something. Now that I'm looking at the chart notes, some are charting me as type 1 and others as type 2. 😀

This is more of a rant than anything. I had to go on prednisone for asthma last Sunday, and still have 1.5 more days to go. Glucose got higher of course, into the 240s, so the doctor said to do correction doses... basically 1 unit anytime I go above 200. (I am very insulin sensitive; I have MODY3, and the doctor said my ISF per the SmartGuard algorithm is nearly 200). It worked until yesterday, when I started feeling more asthma symptoms, and the corrections stopped working. I even doubled my bolus amounts.

Tonight was kinda of weird. I got this stomach pain and nausea while my sugar was running in the 230s. I tested my ketones with a pee stick and behold, I had some, somewhere between mild and medium (15-40). So not super high, perhaps to be expected since it's unusual for me to run this high, but a bit concerning with the stomach issues. I have been able to get glucose down now with doubling the corrections, and the stomach pain is gone but nausea and ketones aren't. I'm going to urgent care in the morning as soon as they open.

Anyway, just venting, really. This is probably not even close to DKA. It's just super annoying going from really, really good control at 97-98% TIR to... this. At least I am almost done with this course of prednisone. It's the first time I have it since I started insulin a year ago so a lot of how my body is handling it feels new to me.

-----

Quick update: I saw my family doctor. Unfortunately he had to INCREASE the steroid dose and extended it 10 more days!!! Plus a nebulizer steroid. Fortunately the ketones cleared this morning. He ordered blood ketone strips, saying he doesn't trust the urine ones, and also said doubling my basal for now would help.

So it kinda sucks, but at least now I have more clear directions...

I am trying to figure out if my vial of insulin, opened just a week go, went bad or if it's just me. :)

I tried Fiasp for a couple of weeks and it wasn't working so well, so I switched back to Apidra. However, after only 2 days, my infusion set started to get very itchy to the point I had to remove it. It was on my well-padded abs. :D I tried another set on the upper butt, and after 3 days, it's getting itchy too (these are Medtronic extended sets that last 7 days).

To test it out, I injected 4 units out of the vial, and... surprise: it got itchy and warm right away.

Has anyone had something like this happen? Maybe it's just the vial that's gone bad, but I'm starting to wonder if I've become allergic to Apidra. I have a history of anaphylaxis, and according to the nurse at the allergist office, I am "allergic to life" (pretty much everything outdoors!).

Ugh, like having diabetes wasn't hard enough...
