@KevinH_PhD Thank you for your incredible work in this area! I’ve learned a lot from your research. While these times often seem like a huge loss, my experience is that they are fantastic opportunities to grow and serve in other ways. Best of luck to you in your new path forward!!!!
@AliceYYCheng@IntDiabetesFed Patients don’t like the 75gm OGTT. I’d love to see a CGM “test” -1 sensor worn for 10/14 days which often tells the patient much more about their responses to food-stress-exercise than an OGTT or and of our other interventions do.
@MatthewRehrl@ConscienHealth@NHSEngland Diabetes Canada has this approach in their Clinical Practice Guidelines. They aim to mitigate the harm with a user guide that has warnings for the patient to read. I cannot understand how anyone can promote this as a long term approach to remission.
@DennisKendel This is not the healthcare system I trained to work in! A system determined by cuts to affecting those who work tirelessly to better our lives.
@realgirl_fieri Is your fat making you sick? Do you have health problems? There is no reason to need obesity treatment if you are healthy, happy and big. I’ve lived my whole life thinking I need to be smaller when in fact I’m 53, big and healthy. It can be tough to tune out the messaging tho.
@mavisclare I go thrift shopping and when I find something that seems really perfect to me, it reminds me that a lot of things in my closet likely would be perfect for someone else. Then I feel better about donating and decluttering.

@DrMakokis As a Registered Dietitian and CDE I would love any insight into improving the relationship with food. I always appreciate a parallel of western health interactions and contrast to an Indigenous led/preferred interaction.

@seanwharton I appreciate you making the point that Ozempic is a treatment for a chronic disease and not a vanity “lose 5 pounds for a wedding” drug. Chronic disease management is a long haul strategy requiring support and treatment to best avoid relapse.
@ladysun1969@vvictorman_uel I’ve seen no evidence that delayed gastric emptying results in gastroporesis. Please share. Chronic hyperglycemia can cause gastroporesis. DGE has been very helpful in my patients with low endogenous insulin levels. It helps reduce CVD risk by improving post prandial glycemia.
This week we are delivering our 3-day evidence-based Diabetes Manager University (DMU) program in Saskatoon, SK to home care nurses to gain the confidence and skills to help people Live Well with Diabetes.
A few spots remain for our upcoming DMU training in Regina Feb 21-23.
@RPSTrafficUnit@reginapolice Diefenbaker Drive turning left onto Pasqua North: the lane designation wasn’t signed the last time I looked and it gets very backed up between 7-8am weekdays.
If no lane designation sign is present, can you turn left or right from the middle lane on a green light?
@lindseytherd Not a movie but if you haven’t watched the Schitt’s Creek TV series which is absolutely the most over-the-top and endearing TV series I have ever watched (twice). I don’t watch much TV but absolutely loved every second of that series.
