Not a doctor, so FWIW. Type 2 Diabetic ~ 20 years. A1C is a long-ish term indicator. 4-6 months I think, but not immediate like the finger sticks. Maintaining proper blood sugar levels over the long term means more exercise (burning calories), and better/lesser eating (keto/"real" natural (not "advertised natural) and quantity restrictions. Didn't want to start with this, but the bottom line is recovery and maintenance are straightforward but they suck. Hungry a lot. Missing out on snacking and specific snacks is brutal. You've provided no weight info, but personally had to lose about 50 pounds. Hated every minute, but my A1C is almost non-diabetic level. Start exercising with ANYTHING. If it's walking 1 mile per day, all he can take, then do it and maintain that level. Increase it comfortably when you can. The change in eating habits is difficult. Did I mention it sucks? Knowing and accepting that it sucks makes it a little easier to persevere. Do I take 'break days'? Yes. responsible and minimal. Ice cream scoop not an ice cream sundae. And rare. Bottom line, Diabetes T2 isn't fair, but properly maintained the health and welfare goes way up living the healthier lifestyle. 65 years old, playing ice hockey once a week and scuba diving every chance I get. I hope this helps. Oh and get a good doc who knows diabetes, like an endocrinologist for advice.

Brother, move slowly, avoid eye contact, keep your hands in plain sight at all times, and have at least 2 planned escape routes. You are going against everything this person has believed, and all her friends.

Good luck, Fren!!!

That's fair; my comment may have been overly harsh to you - if so, apologies. And, appreciation for the sane, calm discussion. Seems hard to find these days. Cheers!

She and her child cannot get any closer to their husband/father now. You're way out of bounds with this comment. Maybe confused with not stepping/walking over strangers graves; this is very different.

Are we expecting daily (hourly?) updates as we get with covid?

"The auditors completed scanning 1427 ballots today, with 1116 validated and 311 verified false ballots."

Dream on although that would be pretty cool. And don't bother with the numerology, the numbers are completely random.

A different take from me on this on. It's been bugging me for a while. He says that if he disagreed with BHO, he would fake a disease and resign. Is he now saying that, in the event of a disagreement between Biden and Harris, he is going to expect HARRIS as VP to resign similar to him as VP considering resigning in the event of a disagreement? That's what it sounds like to me. It would certainly be fun to ask her that...
