First time use! Dexcom G6 for tracking glucose during a fast.

Gentlemen's welcome back to the shop today. You treat a special hello Dexcom blood sugar glucose monitoring machine we're going to Bolter Not this, but my own sanctimonious Temple of my soul. That's right. This pierces into my belly and reads out directly what my blood sugar.

Speaking of piercing the sanctity of my temple, let's just move this big black Dingus out of your face and I'm a little bit disconcerting there. so this is gonna go on my body I've been cutting weight on account of a friend of mine. went on. a close buddy went on the old Ozempic got to inject himself with this drug that makes them feel so ill he doesn't want to eat So I says to myself I says wait a second doesn't make you want to eat.

Is there something to that vicious rumor that if you don't treat every meal like thanksgiver So now I'm super curious about becoming a cyborg. I'm gonna stick this on my belly flab and we'll be able to monitor what happens when I don't eat that is I I fast for extended periods and then go and have a delicious beer Burger Biohacking. You might say it's gonna be something. the printed instruction is on step one C already get confederer B Already get confused I don't have that option I don't have the receiver so we're just gonna go with what the app tells me which is wipe your belly off with some alcohol Clean Hands and then you stick this on your belly.

on my right hand, break off the safety tab. where am I putting it here? Oh yeah! Harry Okay, it's on. break off the safety tap. It's gonna go right into my Miller muscle.

I Can tell. Well, luckily I don't have a six pack anymore. press to insert sensor. Oh I don't like this like jumping into cold water.

You know what has to happen. So it's better just to do it and quit being such a ow Oh, that didn't hurt at all. it was more the noise. Well, it's my newly installated cyborgory chooches takes two hours to get up to temperature apparently.

again in keeping with the theme of my wife. Apparently, this subcutaneous or rather, adipose tissue that's a nice word for belly fat doesn't measure the same as blood glucose if you're doing a pinprick. So I don't have one of those pin prickeries I think I'm gonna have to go get one in order to coincide the two readings that is, uh, you know, have a standard what you call that calibrate. That's the word.

It works. It's working in just a period away from having a good time. She's been chooching for a while I don't like it on my stomach. It's not uncomfortable, it's not painful, but it's there and I'm sure I'll get used to it I kind of feel stooped over on I kind of not wanting to lead with my dick do and have it rip out of me.

The things: rather expensive. Yeah, we'll see. It's been a while since I had and that hasn't been calibrated yet. So I don't know.

Seems bloody High to me to have a blood sugar like that after a meal. But I did have leftover pasta and it was good and plenty of it. The day is the moral and the night last baby doll can tell something was up. Pacing around she asked me, ah baby doll I got a little prick in my side.
It's distinctly uncomfortable piercing the sanctity of your own. Temple she says to me, you're such a P-u-s-s-y Come here, let me get an applicator tip and we'll Jam one in. you see how it feels to walk around with a tampon in your ass I Wasn't sure that was how it works, but she's the expert. Needless to say, when you're trying to relax and you got something in your body what's not supposed to, it's not normally there.

It's a little bit hard on your countenance. So what? I ended up doing, it's not painful, it's it was a little achy but it was more just uncomfortable. And one of the things I do not like is that a boy my daughter come running up to me and I'm old I'm worried about knocking this Jesus thing off so that's not the greatest I have absolutely now after sleeping the night through except for when it alarmed because it stopped communicating, it was more than six meters away I charged my phone away from where I'm sleeping. Reasons you can't wear your tin foil hat everywhere, especially not to bed.

So the bloody thing alarmed woke up the whole house. You got to go in and turn off all the alarms like a kind of a pain in the ass. but I bought one of these things what for calibrating it so we should see if we're closer if we're not close as we can see. I had a big Rita Mcneilt a roux, homemade roux, macaroni and cheese with a little side salad.

Didn't do anything to my blood. Nothing at all. There's the section there where I died after I had a big feed of macaroni, my blood sugar spiked a tiny tiny bit and I started easing back down. So for the sake of YouTube I for you know, science, I had a big mittful of mango which is essentially just sugar and nothing happened.

So I had some Twizzlers and furthermore, nothing happened. So then I went to bed and then I died in the middle of the night and then I woke up and now we're just kind of putting along. I haven't eaten today I don't intend to eat today and I'm doing just fine. You get used to it.

you're your liver, starts to get in shape when you, when you do a little fasting and it it ain't no thing not to eat. Here's the the thing about the my buddy with the ozempic he can't buy the Jesus stuff anymore because apparently it's all going to the states. They have an ozemptic parties to lose weight. Ozempic for him makes you feel like crap so he doesn't stick as much food down his gullet.

So I set the stinking about that doesn't stick as much food down his gullet. Some do that. So I just cut out the middleman and I don't stick as much food down my gullet I Feel bad. Vodka-tastic Holy old boys.

This is the right pain in the cunning linguals. all son. And I call you old son on account of no one your mother so well you got to decorate. You get the diabetes.
You're constantly around with teeny tiny pricks I'll refrain from telling that joke on account of your girlfriend's still in the room. but yeah. I I think I'd rather have had a quarter of whiskey and take that long swim rather than getting the diabetes. Look at this, they're constantly drawing blood.

Oh, they make you read the manual. I'll probably have to wash my hands too. Okay, blocked and ready to go. that doesn't look so mean.

They get you on these test strips. You got to buy the whole package. 50 of them, 50 bucks or a buck a strip. I'll tell you I'll be thinking twice before having a refill on that super squishy.

Okay here we go. Meaty part of the finger? Yeah. I don't like this. I should just cut myself look a real tear.

Okay, so that channel is full of blood through capillary action. Okay, okay error too. Uh, it's one of these devices. You got to be smarter than the tool.

Need another test strip? Good thing we brought 50 of the bloody things. There we go. Now it's looking for blood. Okay, oh, we don't like that and then what? huh? And then you put it in.

Oh, for the love of okay, okay, um ah. I intended to do it now I can't do it I know I know I know it's a thing. it's a control thing. Oh, it works.

It's working. Let's compare that to my subcutaneous adipose tissue measurement. Good enough for the girls we go out with. This is the subcutaneous Dexcom adipose tissue sampling.

If you'd Focus you that don't bother it says five knot 5.3 There you have it quite add effect in the citizen Science three. Not nearly as glorious as the Corn Huskers Association of America will have. You know, diabetes ain't no fun I Got new respect for Fallas finger farting around with tiny pricks. It's a quite frankly, it ain't for me.

However, if I had to do it all these bloody things Buck a piece. You see you go through them like yeah, it's uncomfortable at first and I am worried about well say splitting wood or doing chin-ups. However, it's continuously monitoring so that's interesting on the biohacking side just for watching I'm going to do some exercise I'm fasting at the moment. We'll continue with fast and I'll break my fast after 72 hours with a ice cold beer and we'll see how my pancreas do.

Other than that, yeah, I would recommend this. It ends up being a wash the same price I Think you know, especially you got to test three four 18 times a day. These things in Canada for costing 300 bucks for three of them. That gives you 30 days worth of monitoring I Haven't had any glitches other than as I say just worried about the thing falling off I haven't been splitting wood or doing chin UPS or anything because I'm I'm worried about it and it is a little uncomfortable.

There is that deep-seated idea that there is something in you that doesn't belong there kind of sets your anxiety on edge. but other than that, yeah, grab that. Mountain Dew Wormhole closes in five.

    Canada uses completely different units than in the US. 🤔 If your glucose is 6.7 in the US, then you’re dead.

    So, it doesn't work for everyone, but I have been doing daily fasting of about 18 hours per day…that's sleep plus 10 hours almost everyday, for just about 2 years now. I started at 218lbs on a 69" frame (giggity) and I now weigh roughly 165 on a cheat day and 160 the rest of the week. it is like freaking clock work and I don't have to stress every meal to make sure I picky and choosy over my food, I use supplements for all vitamins and minerals that I "Require". So what I eat is because I want to eat it. The biggest help was dropping sugar in all beverages and I only drink 2-3 whiskey drinks per month, the rest is coffee, water, and milk a couple time per week. Just be VERY careful and LISTEN to your body…if your belly grumbles at a doughnut, you just want to taste it; if the thought of a handful of peanuts makes your knees quiver its time to eat.

    Salty snacks by the family helping party bag full, Dr. Pepper and Myer's dark rum, smokin' like a young man, those were the good old. 😊

    Guess what? Diabetes ain't for me either, but I got it. So I can either mess around with little pricks or I can die. Enjoy your visit to the land of blood glucose monitoring, and be glad you don't have to live here.

    It’s *WAY* more startling than painful

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MacMcNurgle says:

    Something to note. All those test pricks will cause scar tissue on your finger-tips. Don't get complacent. Move the test site every test. Only prick the edge of the finger. Just wait till you have to inject the insulin twice a day! The eye patch is one of the things that can happen with this disease.

    I understand the needle thing. I have to play five finger fillet until I lose just to get some blood.

    If you can't prick your finger….Georger Carlin.

    It was painful to see you resort to the blade over the spring-loaded pricker mechanism. I got a glucose tester off amazon a few years back that came with 100 strips for ~$50, so maybe there some Canadinflation stuff going on about pricing.
    The pricker depth was adjustable so that it just felt like a kid flicked your finger, and a bead of blood only welled up if you squeezed it a bit. I sealed the pricks off with a smidge of cyanoacrylate just for caution's sake, but it wasn't bad at all in terms of pain.

    Puts the Candy down

    Yeah I ain't fooking with all this later in life.
