I just came back from a 2hr glucose test and I am not feeling optimistic about results. I brought my own meter to see what the numbers were and it was crazy high during the 60 min and 90 min mark, and then it drastically fell in 2hrs. Still waiting for official lab results. I have been doing smoothies and soups the past 1.5 weeks to get started being healthier. Has anyone gone through a similar experience? What are some ways/recipes you recommend to achieve diabetic remission?

To those with an anxious attachment style and have trust issues due to past childhood trauma you’re still healing from: How do you keep yourself from thinking your significant other is going to cheat on you when she/he goes to a party or out while you’re miles away? I’ve been in therapy to help, and trying to distract myself but my anxiety is keeping it from working and don’t want to put that pressure on him because I’m trying to work on it.

🤬🤬These freaking mosquitoes are killing me. I hate that bug spray needs to be included as part of my going out routine.

Does anyone have suggestions for fragrance free options?

Just here to say I’m so thankful we have this safe space. People who aren’t diagnosed generally have misconceptions about ADHD and its symptoms, and I’m so grateful we have this bowl to seek help, learn from one another, and sometimes just vent! With all the negativity in the world, this bowl is that one ray of sunshine I so desperately need, so thank you everyone for what you have done and what you’ll continue to do!

Ladies, I am F in my late 30s with fine, medium-length, flat hair. It’s been thinning and feel like I am losing a lot of it.
I’ve tried oral supplements but it didn’t do much to help (just grew hair on my face instead 😳). Any recommendations that might have helped you with the same issue? Anything topical that worked for you?

So who else here is experiencing plummeting billable hours and exponential weight gain since this whole WFH thing started? Bought snacks for 30 days, finished in 48 hours.

Anyone have a recommendation for stinky dog breath? Clean bill of health, “perfect teeth” according to the vet. Pup gets VetriScience powder for dental health and still - it reeks.

I’m a recent grad struggling to look after my health when I’m stuck in a cubicle 10+ hours a day. How do you juggle a healthy lifestyle with long hours at a desk?

I'm in a two doc household. We've started doing online therapy to help manage the stress of this - been really hard on both of us

I'm a US citizen living abroad I applied almost 11 months ago for my spouse. Married for years, kid. I wait and wait. It seems this will take 2 years, maybe more. I feel trapped. On one side the US system demands I work and domicile in US, the other side says families should be prioritized to stay together. My spouse has had enough of the process. I feel trapped abroad and locked in a dysfunctional system. We're just in limbo, it's depressing

Just moved to NYC - where do you all go for routine STD testing?

I'm starting to believe my caffeine addiction is affecting me. After an hour of working today, my hand started shaking!

For those of you who had miscarriages after IVF, was there an underlying cause? Did you do genetic testing of your embryos? Did you do frozen or fresh transfer? Are there any ways to minimise chances of miscarriage during ivf?

What’s the deal with RFPs? I’ve spent countless [non-billable] hours on several of them only to find out that I’m not included in the actual proposal (the document sent to the client showcasing the proposed case team). Is this normal?

Hello Fishes,

Recently received offer from Oracle Solution Services India Private Limited and base location mentioned is Bangalore. Just was curious to know whether we have to go to office physically for the joining or we can join virtually as I am not in Bangalore. Also is this offer different from Oracle or is it a branch within Oracle.

TIA

Gov job range is 100-120k and would need to negotiate up pto otherwise I’d for sure decline

Wanted to check with folks from Accenture here. Can someone explain the job code CN - Strategy - TC - TA - IT Strategy - 07?

I understand it's for capability network. But what do the abbreviations mean? Also is Accenture CN a good place to work?

Hello Fishs,

I have given 3 rounds of interview for the position of SE- B8 , i.e. Lead SE. Now in salary discussion round i asked HR for a CTC between a range of 31-34L. But they told me max they can give is 29.5L. I still did not accepted the initial offer from HR, it is going again one more round for salary negotiation after HR confirms the bracket from Business. I know Natwest dont negotiate once you accepted the offer. What CTC can i expect from Natwest for Lead SE.

So how worried should I be about NY not getting an extension for the Real ID Act? And not getting my passport renewed in time.. putting it out for rush now

Has anyone been on keto on a long term basis? Like 3+ years? I’ve been on keto for a year, but don’t know if it’s the way to go from a long term perspective. Google results give me conflicting information health wise. Any firsthand knowledge and experiences would be beneficial.

Starting keto Sunday!! 🎉 A little nervous, but doing it for digestion 🙂

Question for males only:

Have you ever got your testosterone level tested? Have you had testosterone replacement therapy? Experience ?

Does anyone in this bowl travel? Where do you eat? I find it exhausting to research nutrition facts all the time, and end up eating at the same 2-3 places every week. :(

-keto calc said 1630 cals to maintain at 120 (anticipated gaining to get to 120, but lost?)
-Down 4.4 lbs/1 day
