You should have tried lying about it to see if she believed you.

I'm just glad I can answer a couple of the easier ones haha. Loving the banter too. Makes it way more personable and exciting than normal Jeopardy.

I scared a lady earlier while pulling into a spot because of my noisy cold brake pads lol.

Too bad 17x8 offset is 40 instead of 35 or 38.

That’s the only thing I don’t like about Konigs. Like the 18x8.5 are +44 and yeah most of their 17x8 are +40. Wish they were both 35. Still plan to buy them because I like their designs but still lol

iirc very limited of their wheels (in 5x100) are 38. Freeform have em in 38 (17x8 +38). If you do buy em lmk, cuz I'm still interested to see how flush they are.

I get that all the time too, especially in parking lots

It took me a long time to accept/be comfortable with diabetes. I did some damage to my eyes during my rebellious years but thankfully good control reversed that damage.
Seriously, the glass syringes that had to be sterilised each morning was a pain but not nearly as painful as the huge, veterinary sized needles at the time. The needles would be used over and over again until they got blunt then they would be resharpened. *shudder*

The concept of pumps scares the crap out of me. There is no way I could go that route and the few people I've spoken to with pumps and patch/"continuous" blood glucose monitoring have all had higher HbA1c readings than me.

Now days I sum it up like this: the worse thing about diabetes is that there is never a holiday from it. The best thing is I don't have something far worse.

This feeling is very familiar to us. We've been using Libre



It really eased our life.

My daughter got her first pump at age 12. They have come a long way since then, and insulin too. They really gave my daughter more freedom, and made her more in control, which is huge. Her A1c has been fantastic for years. In high school she could go out like a normal kid and eat a burger and shake at the McDonald's like every other kid. Just tell her pump. Priceless.
