Well, yes. First day, instant diarrhoea. Took just one pill. Doctor then
put me on something that makes the kidney eject sugar in the urine
(dapagliflozin). Went fine, till I started to have urinary infections
due to the amount of sugar in the urine. Then another doctor switched me
to Metsunix, which is sitagliptin/metformin hydrochloride, and that one
works perfectly, AFAIK. And is cheap.
Many people are on metformin, I understand.

Note ... very MUCH note ... pills to fix the pills that fix the pills - it's a horrible dangerous expensive downward spiral. Eventually killed my brother at a relatively young age. Yes, I'm DAMNED WELL prejudiced here. Watched it happen, and its result. Had to bury him. Leaves a mark. I *suspect* the "expensive" aspect is the most important to The System. Oh, when his insurance ran out, SUDDENLY they weren't interested anymore - bumped him off to the 3rd/4th-tier asshole docs. Yea, pretty horrible - but REALITY. And no, do NOT think "socialism" will fix it. UK news ... wow ... a totally decomposing system that helps nobody.

Never had any abnormal poop. I have been on Zepbound for 2 years, and never had any of the terrible side effects that some people report. But sadly also never had much of the desired effect. Minimal weight loss. But I am afraid to stop, in case I then have a big weight gain. -- Lars Poulsen - an old geek in Santa Barbara, California

Nah, not really ... I kinda encourage beer or equivs to mess-up govt propaganda lines. However YOU may be better off, depending.

Beer and wine are now special treats. I don't drink every night,m but I
generally drink once a week. And pay the price in mental sogginess the
next day. Liver and kidneys are not what they were

before him."

Beer allows you to develop a hangover while still drinking it trying to get a good buzz on. In my youth I got to experience 3.2% beer in Utah. That uses your urinary system to convert piss to piss.

My first distro was Slackware, downloaded from the ftp site in floppy sized chunks. A lot of chunks. If there is anything on the old Compaq that must be it. The CD is gone but Red Hat Linux 5.1 from 1998 says it will run in 8 MB.
