EXENATIDE vs GLYBURIDE

60yr SW 95kg GW 70kg After 5 months I’ve achieved my goal weight. I’ve not been this weight since a teenager. Tried every diet over the years but only had temporary success. Always struggled with food noise. Retired early as a GP in the UK due to MH in 2022. Turned 60 earlier this year & finall

I'm just curious. The more I experience this pain and weakness the more I realize this is what sleep deprivation is. Without proper restorative sleep you get the exact same symptoms. Poorer sleep leads to a disruption in hormonal levels which makes sense why this affects more women then men. They

I just finished reading an *excellent* series of blog posts about how the fear of insulin is mostly bullshit. I wanted to understand the articles better, and contribute to fittit, so I went through each article and summarized them the best as I could in layman terms. All of them are worth a read, an

Since we can't submit links on this sub, I'm pasting an interesting article I saw today. It's by Sarah Zhang for the Atlantic. Did Scientists Accidentally Invent an Anti-addiction Drug? People taking Ozempic for weight loss say they have also stopped drinking, smoking, shopping, and even nail biting

Fair warning: this will be a long post filled with data and graphs and some potentially controversial commentary. You may feel the urge to express how I am doing something wrong, not eating enough, etc. I’ve seen and read it all so it will fall on deaf ears here, but have at it I suppose. I plan to

I'm sorry, I fell off the face of the planet. Or at least reddit. The last month and a half were a clusterfuck of feeling hot and miserable, a bunch of stupid stuff at work, and my family driving me a little crazy. If you are reading this and you haven't told anyone about your pregnancy, please plea

I graduated this week! I didn’t have GD with my first pregnancy and went into spontaneous labor at 40w2d. Baby #1 was a non-medicated vaginal delivery and I really wanted the same for baby #2. Was diagnosed with GD at 28w3d this time around. Diet controlled during the day, but went on glyburide over

I listened to all 12 lectures 10 months ago when I took the NCLEX and took important notes, it was very helpful looking back. Here you are:) - from a fellow RN that was once in your shoes Random NCLEX * For select all that apply, only select what you know. Don’t select any more than that. It’s ne

I had been having contractions on and off since 33 weeks, so we were all shocked when I made it to 39 weeks without a baby. However, I have an abundance of scar tissue due to surgeries for my cervical cancer, which were making it impossible for my cervix to dilate properly. As such, I was scheduled

Trigger warning: hypoglycemia, NICU, not positive I'm writing this post not because I want to remember all the details of our hospital stay, but that it might help someone else prepare for a potential NICU stay with realistic expectations, and know that you're not alone in all of this.

Charlotte was born on 7/15, a day after her grandma’s birthday. We were scheduled for an induction that day, due to arrive at the hospital at midnight. I had a rebellious placenta (AKA gestational diabetes), so an induction was something we had discussed weeks in advance, as a possibility. Given tha

I had my first stars event after 6 months of working at my store. I’ve been a licensed pharmacist for a little over a year. Basically the script was for glyburide and directions were supposed to say take by mouth twice daily with meals however it what was sent out as take mouth twice daily. Patient

First off, I'm on mobile so I apologize if this is annoying! Tl;dr: water broke at 31+4, admitted to L&D, now on hospital bedrest until further notice. Hella bored. I landed myself at L&D yesterday for the first time in my pregnancy. I'm currently 31+5 with a high risk mono-di twin girl pre
