What do your daily meals look like each day? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Yep ensure was the one. I wasn't sure if it was available internationally so I didn't put name brand in there.

Complicated Medical Stuff

hyper tension, fatty liver, visceral obesity, excess adiposity, snoring

Yeah I have all those problems lol. I actually did use a CGM and the most concerning thing noted was I was going into high 2's and low 3's blood sugar. Normal range is 4–7 so I was hypoglycemic for a big part of every day.

It turns out I was massively undereating for a long time and slowly starving to death, somehow without losing weight as well. When I brought it up in the past doctors were like, well you're not massively losing weight so you're fine. But I was measuring my calories and only getting 800–1400 on a good day, when my maintenance was meant to be 2400.

My doctor told me to stop starving to death as a top priority, but due to various other medical issues I physically can't eat enough food per day. It got really confusing so now I'm using Ensure even though it's not ideal for prediabetes (I can see it on the graph). All the doctors I've seen have mostly just been confused and not really sure how to help me. My disability makes it impossible to exercise enough per day.

My body seems mostly ok with my current diet of whole meal stuff, but any sugar or refined carbs really fucked me up and made me very unwell. So I'm definitely avoiding all sugar like the plague. I did keto for a while but it wasn't sustainable for me long term. So wholemeal is my compromise.

Overall a shitty situation, not much can be done to help me it seems.

It feels like social media to me. It has upvotes, replies, notifications, comments, a feed... If it's not a social media then neither is Reddit, and at that point the word stops being meaningful. Look right now we're even arguing about semantics just like any good social media

What helps you sleep better? in c/mentalhealth@lemmy.world

[–] Zarobi@aussie.zone 2 points 1 hour ago

This might sound completely random, but completely cutting sugar from my life. For my entire life my sleep has been bad. Couldn't sleep at night properly at all. Then one day I tried Keto and within 1 week my sleep became normal and healthy. I didn't keep doing keto for long because it wasn't sustainable for me personally, but I kept the 0 sugar rule and it's been great. Sleeping like a ~~baby~~ adult.

Does that make Lemmy an underground black market? 🤔

Reading the comments mine might be the weirdest...

Breakfast:

bowl of all bran and special k with cow milk
"adult formula" blended with almond milk. It's like feeding tube stuff as a dry powder. I struggle to eat enough calories per day without it so my doctor prescribed it, it's "nutritionally complete"
electrolytes potion. Magnesium and vitamin C effervescent with a pinch of salt in coconut water
small cup of Turkish coffee
two squares of dark chocolate

Lunch

sliced strawberries and banana with cream
low GI crunchy bread (Bürgen) with hummus

Dinner

One of:

vegetable and meat stew
wholemeal spaghetti with nooch and olive oil and feta cheese
chicken thigh with wild rice and cucumber salad
salmon with wild rice and cucumber salad
whatever leftovers are gifted to me (as long as it doesn't have sugar or loads of simple carbs)

I have prediabetes along with a dozen other health conditions lol

No I mean I think there was a miscommunication or something, I genuinely agree with everything you said except that 1 part lol. I'm not very good at explaining things, sorry

Believe it or not my first paragraph was working on medical software lol. It was good though, I liked the feeling of helping doctors help people, making the world a better place.

Unemployed / disability lol. But if I could still move around I'd probably get into something outdoorsy. Park ranger or the like. Keeping a candle lit though, in case one day I miraculously recover or medical science advances or something.

Edit: actually it's the reason I did software engineering in the first place. But actually this industry is now hostile to people with disability. Can I work from home because leaving the house is hard? No, everyone must be in office chained to your desk 9/9/6. Can I be neurodivergent? No, everyone must have constant in person meetings and work in open plan offices.

Sorry I don't really know anything about North American indigenous, I live in Australia and our mobs are very different. I think actually we're in full agreement, apart from the detail of whether it's "intelligent design" or not :)

After updating CachyOS, I am unable to play games as easily as before. How do I fix it? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

[–] Zarobi@aussie.zone 0 points 7 hours ago

I've always had to manually install drivers every time I set up a distro (usually Ubuntu variant). After that I do noticed it updates semi randomly over time, which usually causes some games to stop working, but c'est la vie

Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

[–] Zarobi@aussie.zone 0 points 7 hours ago

Planning to finish Doom Eternal, then start on my next game in my backlog, Caves of Cud. Not sure what to expect or why I bought it in the first place but we'll see! Was thinking about setting up a streaming thing too, not for money but just for fun.
