For some reason a childhood memory popped into my head just now. We were driving somewhere with another family and their mom was in diabetic shock. My mom stormed into an Italian restaurant demanding a sweet tea. The staff were hesitant. Meanwhile the lady in distress was not in her right mind and s
there are two stories about my mother being judgmental regarding my symptoms, and here they go. when i (20f) was in 8th grade, there was a high school entrance exam that i was going to take in june. the whole year was horrible for me; apart from being severely depressed, whenever i sat down to study
From her instagram account: “ I spent 9 days in ICE detention and it was the worst days of my life. My case was eventually terminated because I had filed the necessary paperwork with USCIS (I'm married to a US citizen, that's why we were at our green card interview) The whole experience was beyond t
* I recently published a comprehensive guide for people who have never heard of the keto diet or want to know more. This was very well received [on /r/keto](https://redd.it/4vhrv5) and I'm sure /r/fitness would benefit as well from this information because diet is one of the most powerful and effect

What embarrassing pharmacy confessions do you have? Thought it would be fun to share embarrassing things you did or didn’t know/realize, and didn’t want to tell others in your pharmacy. For the first year or so of working, I thought “Basaglar Kwikpen” was “basaglar Kiwi-pen”, and had no idea why it
How does everyone work with patients that just blatantly lie about being adherent to their meds? Example: I have a pt who is suppose to be on a large amount of insulin Glargine but hasn’t picked up his rx since November but SWEARS he’s taking it… my concern is safety since I am often titrating insul
