We spent three nights at Mew Lake campground at the end of August. The sites here were beautiful. Almost all of them back on to the lake. We could hear wolves and loons throughout the night. I would highly recommend staying at this campground :) Also, for those who don't know, I'm a type 1 diabetic and this was the first time I've been camping since my diagnosis.

    Did you get your insulin level tested prior to diagnosing type 1 diabetes, or did the doctor just told you that you have type 1 diabetes?

    Hi, I love your video so encouraging. I am 14 years old and I just got diagnosed two weeks from this past Monday. I got diagnosed from going to the doctors and getting a blood work. My mom was getting concerned about me because my hair was red deck, but now it’s like really really dead And also I was drinking a lot and peeing a lot as well. So she took me to the doctors to get bloodwork and the doctor had me do a urine sample. And it turns out my A1c was 14+. When they actually like it to be below 5.5. The doctor called my mom and told her to rush went to the emergency room. This emergency room was in Lincolnton North Carolina. They took my blood sugar and said that it was 472 and they would like me to be around 80 to 120 so that is really high. And then we were told that this hospital doesn’t take kids so they had to drive me all the way to Charlotte over an hour away to take me to and we stay there for about three or four days for them to me and antibiotics. pumped me because I had some infections. And obviously, we had some training with the nutritionist, diabetes, educators, and endocrinologist. You’re right going through. This is going through the grief process first year in denial and you’re sad and angry and then you accept it. I feel like I am indeed denial and sadness and anger portion of this journey. It’s also hard because I’m used to being so independent considering the blind. And then I have to now have my mom or dad and checked me. It’s so frustrating. 15:26

Is it almost like when you put a cgm on? Thank you 🩷😊

    The thirst is in response to the urination, not the other way around. Your body was using urination to try to eliminate the sugar in your bloodstream, causing dehydration, causing extreme thirst.

    Hi Laura, how are you doing? It seems you haven’t made any videos in about a year, so hopefully you are still doing well. Have you ever thought about trying out a ketogenic diet to help manage your diabetes? I’ve heard that it can help lower the amount of insulin to take as well as keep better control of stable blood sugar. Thanks for your videos about type 1 diabetes. Very much appreciate your experiences.

    After 45 years of MDIs I started with the Omnipod in 2014. It was the best thing I ever did and massively changed my life. A pump was suggested previously but I did not like the idea of tubes because of the stuff I had read about it so I declined a pump. For some reason my Endo had not mentioned the pod, at all. When she finally did I decided to take a leap of faith (after 45 yrs it's scary to change) and try it. I would have hypos virtually every night using Lantus and I was very tired of it. From the first night I used the pod, I had no more night time hypos. My Endo said that it appears that using the Omnipod which is an entirely different system from using pens was what my body needed and it functioned much better using only Novorapid insulin. I absolutely recommend anyone who is feeling nervous about using the pod, to take a leap of faith and try it. Hopefully it will change your life like it did mine.

    I have been diagnosed last month and still adjusting to things. At first, I thought it was just normal that I'm feeling tired always and being thirsty all the time. What also got me concerned and to prompt me to consult with a doctor was when I lose weight rapidly like 15kgs. in just over two months without having some diet or exercise. First low blood sugar incident was very scary.

    I have a question. In the scenario that your blood sugar gets really low (and you don't inject insulin and eat carbs), once you start experiencing the symptoms, can you stand up, close your eyes, and focus really hard? Does doing that make the symptoms go away?

    • @russellseaton2014
      @russellseaton2014 Рік тому

      You DO NOT inject insulin if your blood sugar is low. Insulin causes blood sugar to go down. You DO eat fast acting carbohydrates to bring your blood sugar up. But not too many carbohydrates because then you go high and then have to take insulin to bring your blood sugar down lower. Roller coaster. Up down up down up down up down up. Many diabetics do not experience symptoms. Meaning they are unaware their blood sugar is going low. They simply go brain dead more or less while their body is still able to move and thrash around and kick and punch. You can stand up, meaning when your blood sugar goes low, you do not just collapse into a pile on the floor. You just remain standing. Your brain is not functioning, it is gone, but your body is not asleep. Your brain cannot focus really hard. It does not work. The only thing to make the symptoms of low blood sugar go away is to get sugar, calories, carbohydrates inside you. And then wait a few minutes for them to be absorbed by the body.
