#normal blood sugar level

[after-witch]

I have to go to work in 10 minutes but

I had this lovely dream where it somehow went from "I woke up in this big house and realized I wasn't chosen to be part of the X-men because I was still in the house and not magically in the X-men world"

to "me and the other people who also were not chosen were trying to make the best of the situation, getting breakfast in the kitchen, and one of them was an attractive blonde man named Seth who I realized at some point was working for the devil."

We shared a chaffle that tasted magically good despite having no sugar, and I was like "Wow, this tastes like a real waffle for once, that's weird," and he winked at me, and said if I worked with him, I could have any food I wanted and not worry about my blood sugar.

So y'know, that's what the devil's servant is doing in my dreams, making my keto-friendly chaffles taste decent.

the dream ended with me confronting this random woman who had given us failed advice on how to join the X-men and confronting her about Seth working for the devil, and me saying, "but you said the Devil would work on Saturdays"

then I woke up

and did a bunch of early morning errands 'cause baby, we're about to get slammed with two snow storms this week :)))

once again having to face the fact that I might frequently be experiencing hypoglycemia but I’m not sure what to do about it because the last time I hinted to the doctor about fluctuating blood sugar levels all of the blood tests came back normal and. those were it right? is there some test that has to be happening here that i should be asking for specifically?

Your Guide to Normal Blood Sugar Levels: Charts and Interpretations

Maintaining normal blood sugar levels is crucial for overall health and well-being. Blood sugar, also known as glucose, serves as the primary source of energy for the body's cells. Fluctuations in blood sugar levels can have significant implications for both short-term and long-term health. Understanding what constitutes normal blood sugar levels is essential for individuals seeking to manage their health effectively.

Normal Blood Sugar Levels:

Blood sugar levels are typically measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L). The following chart outlines the various blood sugar levels and their classifications:

1. Fasting Blood Sugar Levels:

   - Normal: 70-99 mg/dL (3.9-5.5 mmol/L)

   - Pre-diabetes (impaired fasting glucose): 100-125 mg/dL (5.6-6.9 mmol/L)

   - Diabetes: 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests

2. Blood Sugar Levels 2 Hours After Eating (Postprandial):

   - Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)

   - Pre-diabetes: 140-199 mg/dL (7.8-11.0 mmol/L)

   - Diabetes: 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests

3. Random Blood Sugar Levels:

   - Normal: Less than 125 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L)

   - Diabetes: 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher

It's important to note that individual circumstances, including age, weight, activity level, and overall health, can influence blood sugar levels. Additionally, pregnant women may have different target ranges for blood sugar levels.

Managing Blood Sugar Levels:

For individuals with diabetes or those at risk of developing the condition, maintaining blood sugar levels within the normal range is paramount. Strategies for managing blood sugar levels include:

1. Diet: 

Consuming a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats can help regulate blood sugar levels.

2. Exercise: 

Engaging in regular physical activity can improve insulin sensitivity and help lower blood sugar levels.

3. Monitoring: 

Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels through blood glucose testing allows individuals to track their progress and make necessary adjustments to their treatment plan.

4. Medication: 

For individuals with diabetes, medication such as insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents may be prescribed to help regulate blood sugar levels.

5. Lifestyle Modifications: 

Avoiding excessive consumption of sugary foods and beverages, managing stress, getting an adequate amount of sleep, and maintaining a healthy weight are all important factors in managing blood sugar levels.

Conclusion:

Understanding normal blood sugar levels is essential for maintaining optimal health and preventing complications associated with conditions such as diabetes. By adopting healthy lifestyle habits and working closely with healthcare professionals, individuals can effectively manage their blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of long-term health complications.

This comprehensive chart serves as a valuable reference tool for individuals seeking to achieve and maintain normal blood sugar levels for overall health and well-being.

Follow up question on this topic that is going to sound like a joke but it isn't: How do you tell when you are stressed enough that you need to stop what you are doing and go do something to de-stress if you don't have "oncoming allergy migraine symptoms" to warn you? Like, the silver lining of all my health issues is that they give very unignorable signs when I need something (I can't always interpret them correctly, but that's a different problem). My "uh oh better go take a five minute break and calm down" sign was high blood pressure, low (for me) heart rate, shakiness, and a feeling like I was about to burst into tears despite not feeling sad Yesterday, I got very, very stressed at work. I accidentally pushed right past the threshold that normally would have been my stop point, because I did not have the physical symptoms, until I realized I was so overstimulated I couldn't listen to music (a thing that has literally never happened to me before) So I have to re-learn how to tell when I am stressed. It's not the first time I've had to relearn a basic life skill when I got a health issue more under control, but I admit I'm kinda stumped on how to figure this one out

So on the plus side I apparently unexpectedly reached some threshold of stabilizing my mast cells and have had a few reactions with no migraine or nausea! I'm experiencing acute stress without having bad tachycardia or shaking or having a little bit of that whole "impending sense of doom!" On the minus side I seem to have gone back to hives????? I used to get hives from like 2015ish to like 2019ish, when I finally mostly got my allergies under control*, and then I mostly just stopped having hives. Like. At all. I might have contact dermatitis on like hands knees or elbows if I happened to touch pollen from the Mystery Plant I am allergic to** but I did not get the spontaneous hives on my joints all the time, and now I had one on my hip and I feel like my hand is trying to get one and maybe my knee????? This is definitely a huge step down in terms of severity, significantly less likely to have side effects that land me in the hospital, but I am so confused. Happy about it! Hope it lasts! But so confused. Also (and I do remember this from the few times I got hives once I started antihistamines), feeling a hive try to form while on high doses of antihistamines is so weird. I feel like if I get into too much detail it might squick y'all out but trust me it's a weird feeling. Each individual hive since I've been on daily antihistamines, with one notable exception, lasts less than an hour instead of 24+ hours. *read: four times the daily recommended dose of 24 hour antihistamines, as my allergist told me to do **was not able to narrow down what, exactly, it is, but it was seasonally limited and limited to a certain geographic area so like I think it was a plant? Forgot to mention: I had very little overlap between the "all hives all the time" era of my allergies and the "severe migraines leading to severe dehydration" era of my allergies. Like, very occasionally my hives reaction would get bad enough I'd get the migraine and nausea as well, but very, very rarely. They aren't mutually exclusive they just seem to be for me?

Day 3 of Character Trivia Night!

For tonight we have Lavi

Lavi is the son of two high ranking demons

Beauty and power makes you attractive to other demons, so Lavi who had both right from birth was spoiled like no other his whole life

Due to his power and rank it's really hard to summon him so when you did it he assumed you went out of your way to do it and was targeting him specifically

His ideal partner is someone who does what he says and spoils him, if you don't fit that description he'll forcefully make you fit the mold

He likes to stay up late and laze around in bed until lunch time, he'll also force you to follow the same schedule as well

Out of all the boys he's the most likely to visibly get angry at you and take it out on you physically

A lot of stuff makes him angry but there are levels to it and each level brings out a different type of tantum

Low level ones are not including him in something you're doing, not watching the show he wanted to watch, complimenting animals and/or inanimate objects when he's right there, not kissing him as soon as you wake up etc. These don't cause big outbursts but will cause him to act extra needy

Mid level ones are going out without him, forcing him to wear something he doesn't like, not praising him properly, being in a room with other men, not having sex with him as soon as he shows signs of wanting it, not responding when he's talking to you etc. These ones will cause bigger outbursts, often public. He'll be crying, screaming and stomping his feet. He might pull your clothes or hair or physically attack someone near you

High level ones are actually sleeping with someone else, actively ignoring him to pay attention to someone else, badmouthing and/or insulting him, attempting or managing to summon another demon, attempting to exorcise him and/or physically hurting him with holy items etc. With these he'll be mad. It's pretty much over for everyone around. If the offense is tied to someone else like a man you were with or a demon you summoned he'll personally make their face unrecognizable, drag their bloodied body around in hell and hang it on a high spot to set an example. When it comes to you he won't be screaming like his normal tantrums, he'll just grab you by your hair and drag you to a bedroom. If you try to protest he'll pierce your skin with his nails deep and leave bleeding scratch marks to make sure you remember what he'll do to you forever. He might also dig his heels into your skin depending on how much you're fighting back.

He can burn others, charm them or suck out their life energy. He's small but does have inhumane strength and speed

His blood can work as a light aphrodisiac but is addictive

No matter what type of personality you have he'll force you to be on top of him during sex

He really likes it when you mark his skin and if it's for sex you're allowed to choke him too. The next day he'll run out half naked just to make the people around see the marks

Once you tried going to work/school while he was still asleep but he unfortunately raided the building as soon as he realized you were gone and threw the desks around until you let him sit on your lap as you worked

His wings and tail can be quite sensitive

He likes to wrap the tail around your leg while you two are having sex and squeeze it hard

He likes being manhandled if it's for foreplay

He wants you to spoil him and buy him all the clothes and accessories he wants and hasn't asked for yet, he doesn't really care if you end up in debt or something, he can always just drag your soul down to hell with him

But he lowkey enjoys watching you struggle to take care of him

He doesn't need to eat but he loves anything sweet, if a normal human tried eating the desserts he eats on a daily basis they'd die from sugar overdose

He loves to publicly shame anyone who shows interest in him while he's already with you and expects you to do the same

His skin is completely spotless, not a single scar which is something to proud of as a demon. It's one of the reasons why he exposes so much skin

this has been in my head since forever but imagine coworkers to lovers with sukuna😖 early morning shifts at a cafe and just chatting❤️

some lore on kunamama and kunapapa :)

sometimes, you like to think back to the day you met sukuna—way before he became the king of the corporate world, when he was just a regular (if not slightly terrifying) desk employee at some company. and isn’t it kinda silly how you were his boss back then? back when he didn’t wear custom-tailored suits that cost more than rent, when his hair wasn’t styled to perfection, and when his schedule wasn’t packed with cutthroat business deals and world domination. he was still an asshole, of course.

but he was your favorite asshole.

because despite his reputation for ripping apart anyone who made a mistake, he was the only one who ever told you when you were incorrect—without being rude about it. which was ironic, because if it had been anyone else, he would’ve dragged them through the mud.

he also remembered you liked your drinks disgustingly sweet, so sweet that even the vending machine’s sugary abominations weren’t enough. so what did sukuna do? he started keeping sugar packets in his drawer for you. did he ever admit to doing it because he cared? hell no. "what, you think i wanna deal with you whining about your coffee tasting like actual coffee?" he scoffed the first time he handed you one. “keep your blood sugar levels up and your energy higher so i don’t have to carry the team.” meanwhile, other people who put one too many sugars in their drinks?

"congratulations, dumbass, you’ve made syrup."

sometimes, you wouldn’t even realize when a normal work call would transition into a yap session that lasted hours, the two of you sprawled on your respective couches at home, phones balanced precariously on your faces. so when sukuna finally had enough of the rat race and decided to form his own company, he came to you first.

"quit your job and work for me," he demanded.

you blinked. "excuse me?"

"i’m leaving this shithole and starting my own company," he said, arms crossed. “and i need someone who isn’t a dumbass running things with me. plus, i already have a sugar supplier—wouldn’t wanna lose that.” 

you laughed. "so this is you begging?"

"it’s me stating facts," he grumbled. "but if you need the extra motivation—" he dramatically fell to his knees, hands clasped together. 

"please, my dear, wonderful boss, do me the honor of joining me in my noble pursuit of capitalism and world domination."

"…you look so stupid right now."

"yeah, yeah, so is that a yes?"

how could you say no? you loved him.

so you did. and now, five years later, you’re married, running a massive company, and you have a little babykuna who thinks you and sukuna hung the moon. so whenever babykuna asks, "how did you and papa meet?", you always recount this story with fondness. and sukuna? he always interrupts at the sugar packet part. "i wasn’t being nice," he argues every time. "i was investing in company efficiency."

babykuna blinks. "so… you were investing in mama?"

sukuna pauses. and you? you smile.

"yeah," you tease. "guess you’ve always had a good eye for business."

I got Jason..!

"You are desperate for something you think you can never have. You are more comfortable with the fear in your veins and the anger behind your eyes and the sadness in your lungs than the idea of being happy. You think you will never be better than this. Every moment you barrel harder into your self-made rock bottom. You will never forgive because it is easier to be angry and sad and terrified and you are so, so angry and sad and terrified. Let yourself be happy. You are more than your faults. You are more than the things that you can not control. Life has not been fair to you. Forgive it. You can not heal if you simmer in your own misery."

Made a quiz, have fun:)
