We researched more and more and found cutting out carbs heavily helped more than anything else, but she still needed some insulin. When mounjaro started getting a lot of attention, she tried that along with metformin. With those two drugs combined, she was able to get completely off insulin. She lost the weight gain from the 2 years of insulin, which reduced her resistance. She started having hypoglycemia and was able to reduce the metformin by half to get back to normal levels.
Her A1C is now 5.5 and has been < 6 for over a year now. Although the metformin was recommended by her endocrinologist, both the carb change in diet and trying mounjaro was something she had to take upon herself, none of her docs told us about this.
It's an absolute shame, and it feels like you're meant to be kept sick if you go strictly by the guidance from the ADA and even the doctors.
It is about the fact at any time Spotify, Apple, etc can remove music from my playlist for any reason and at any time. It's about the fact they require me to use their invasive, spyware, data mining BS apps in order to listen to my music. It is about the fact that when I want to listen to music in my car, I have to listen to it using the way they say I can.
I can't believe I have adult friends who really don't care about their personal privacy or freedoms and are ready to give it up at a moments notice for convenience.
It's like someone walking into your house and installing a little block box in the corner of the room and walking out, and maybe later on they'll let you know what they're doing with this device but maybe not.
This will be my last mac unfortunately, which is a pity because I do love the hardware.
Prism Central has definitely gotten better with the UI since the earlier days. I still prefer Prism Element in some cases, but overall it all works pretty well.
We use HYCU for backups and while I was really skeptical about it in the beginning, it is absolutely solid in a Nutanix environment. Overall we are happy with Nutanix.
