not sure if they're available worldwide.

I simply wave my IPhone up to it and it shows the number on the meter where you're at. You need training on it obviously.

My brother (who recently passed away in Dec of cancer) had one after I recommended it. He found it helpful to monitor his sugar levels. Now - the question is - about can the machine identify? ONLY if you actually do a test by putting the app on your phone up to the sensor. What I was teaching my brother at the time was HOW to recognize a diabetic shock (the early flags) to indicate whether he should quickly do a check of his sensor and what to take if it happens. Early signs can be disorientation - a numb tongue - feeling of anxiety - vision blurry - hard to speak = sweats - things like that. Once I see that I am hitting a low I start heading towards kitchen after telling someone in my family so they know what's going on. Even my kids know what to do (as young as 8). So some sugary cereal - orange juice - flat pop - (no chocolate slow acting sugars an wrong sugars) - fruit or fruit juice. etc. There is a lot. Then it's a slow waiting time and I check the readings again - if I see them going up then I'm fine.

Now hearing this new news from the gf about having to put him in a coma is different - so whatever I said really doesn't apply since something else has happened that I'm not aware of when it comes to diabetes.

So sad to hear :disgust

RIP My friend

It was not covid related.
It was undiagnosed diabetes. He ended up in the hospital with diabetic ketoacidosis which also causes breathing problems and can require respirator, so that's why some people think it's covid related.

Ah, thanks for clearing it up, I had just heard about the breathing problems.

Yes thanks for clearing that up

Isn't diabetes a fairly progressive disease? Like years and years to get worse and worse if untreated or lifestyle change?

If his gf said covid related, that's likely the most accurate info.

Thanks! :2 cents:

Diabetic shock put him into a coma he didn't get out of.

Marc
 

I'm glad you posted this. I was about to do it if nobody else had.

I already contributed.

His kids are definitely in need. He had been out of a job recently before his death.

Marc
 

Well, this is no subject for an argument. Even here.

Rick Latona knew him well so I'll side with his story, but does it really matter anymore?

The two stories agree he refused treatment at first. Damn. He could have been saved.

Way too young.

A really good guy. We were chatting a couple weeks before he died.

Steve Jones has the sad story on his FB, had to do with apneu, diabetics shock.
Take care everyone.

Damn, I haven't been to GFY in months and I come back to see this? Marc was a good dude.

RIP Marc
I always had fun with you… all over the world. You’ll be missed.

I did not know Marc but terrible losing yet another that was loved by so many in our little pond. Hoping for the best for his little kids.

My brother went into diabetic shock once, it's no joke. Thankfully he was still living at home and found.

Incredibly important to listen to your body and don't shy away from visiting a doctor if your body says you need to visit the doctor, regardless of what financial hole you think it may create. Hopefully just one person takes this loss as a lesson and makes a better decision in the future because of it.

can someone send the pic of Marc that Steve posted and closed his fb?

RIP Marc

:1orglaugh that's awesome.

R.i.p......

I hated Marc the first few times I met him. He was everything that I hated about the way porn people acted at shows. Always fucked up, always crazy, always pushing the limits. Once at a show in San Diego a model offered to blow him, he called his girlfriend for permission and got the blow job, I believe it was in the middle of the day - by or possibly in the hotel’s fountain.

When I turned 30 it was also YNOTBob’s 40th. We share the same B-day, Sept. 8th. We had a mostly industry birthday party in San Diego, we went to a Padres game and then went bar hopping around the Gaslamp. I had only recently quit bartending at a club downtown to work on Yanks full time, so I still knew all the downtown bartenders, we got beyond fucked up. At what would be our last stop we got kicked out of a friend’s bar because Marc had plated his balls and pissed down a drain on the patio, it was 4pm on a sunny day. I was livid, I screamed at him 6 inches from his face and expected he might hit me. He didn’t get mad at all, he was hurt, picture Kitt in Boots from Shrek looking hurt. I felt horrible. As I eventually got to know him I found that he just liked to let it all out, he got attention but I am not sure he did it for the attention, I think he did it because it was who he was. He was a brilliant and confident person who really didn’t need to stand out or prove anything. He just did what came to mind.

I could go on and on but one other story stands out - for one YPMexico, 2005 I believe. I roasted two suckling pigs. Marc was intrigued in the fact that one was female and made sure to search for, find and lick its clitoris, for longer then for one pic. I have the pictures somewhere. Bestiality? Check Necrophilia? Check Underage Pig? (not sure what the age of consent is) but Check. Marc was an OG amongst OGs. That was Marc Womack and he was a beautiful human who will be missed. RIP my man!

That is my girlfriend/partner in YanksCash under and to Marc's right. And having lived in SD while Marc was there I can tell you they have been on her head before. Never turn your back on those balls!:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Thanks for sharing your stories with him. Seems like an awesome guy. I have some pics from that YP Mexico, he was funny as hell in some... maybe you were in some of the pics too, I can send you someday if you like :winkwink:

Damn... that pic of him just defines the Internet back in the day...

Keep the crazy stories and photos coming guys, I know above is just the tip of the ice berg. I want to see more.

I also have fond memories of Marc and his balls.

One time at YP Mexico we played some game where was I blindfolded, four or five women were lined up on chairs in front of me, and I had to fondle their breasts and guess who they were. What industry professional is going to say no to this? Of course one of the women were replaced with Marc with his shorts pulled down, squading on the chair to make his balls at the height I would expect to find a pair of breasts. I instantly knew what it was and even who it was.

I think someone has it on video someplace, and perhaps JFK (RIP) has it on his site some place.

That was the first and last time I have ever fondled a man's balls.

rip marc

This is quite a shock.

I remember seeing him at the old iwebmasters office when I was in talks with Ashwin and Dee of Deecash.

The years sure go by quick

I didn't know Marc, from the comments here sounds like he was a very special person. he seemed young, was it a heart episode or something?

whatever way, the post quoted is such a tremendous tribute to a friend. so sorry for your and everyone's loss, and so beautifully written

hugs all around

RIP Marc

this seems to be happening a lot :/

RIP Marc.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup




RIP Marc

Well, that sucks.

Apparently an ex is fucking with him even after he is dead.

RIP Marc
