a day in my life with type 1 diabetes 

here's a 6 month update! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qrgnlg4YYuk.html

hey sarah!! the gap in your graph happens when you don’t scan for 8+ hours because the sensor only holds 8 hours worth of data :) hope this helps! you’re doing great so don’t be too hard on yourself

Hey I’m 29 and I was just diagnosed back in July 2019 with type one and this video reminds me of my daily life and I’m still getting educated smh it’s a lot...good luck 😘 and great video

My 5 year old daughter just got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. She’s surprisingly taking it well when it comes to eating healthy. We are all eating better now and staying more active. It all definitely helps in controlling her sugar level

I was diagnosed with type 1 less than 1 year ago. There are so many more things to do in a day when you have diabetes 🙁 Way to go for continuing to do the things that you enjoy and not letting diabetes control your life. That is a really hard thing to do 😊

hey!! a little tip : when you prime your needle, you can do it inside the cap of the needle (make sure to remove the little one) so that your room or your stuff won't smell like insulin.

I been a type 1 diabetic since I was 7 years old, and been on a low carb diet for most of my life. My HbA1c are below 5.0% with very low insulin needs. The low carb approach is a sure way method to prevent complications. My carb limit is 25g a day, protein 150g and fat unlimited though I tend to just eat whatever comes with the protein. If you are newly diagnosed all I can recommend is for you to listen to Dr. Bernstein diabetes university on RU-vid. He teaches you to treat your illness and preserve whatever Beta cells you may have left. My current insulin need is 7u of Tresiba, and 12u of R insulin for protein meals and vegetables carbs. Smaller doses than even most children given the amount of food I eat. Good luck, and avoid high blood sugar!

I do lazy keto. I avoid them, but I'm not crying over it if I eat some. And like you said, I just choose what carb I'm going to eat. It's no fun to waste carbs/spend half the day fixing a spike for carbs that aren't worth it. Lol

Just found your channel . My oldest daughter was just diagnosed at 11 yrs old this march 2020. She went into dka she's doing good now . Stay strong

I’ve been T1D for almost two years now and it’s crazy for me to watch this and remember all the things I used to do bc I thought I had to I.e. priming my insulin pin and what not but I hope your doing great! (I’m a new subscriber). Also I use the omnipod and Dexcom g6 now.☺️

Hi am also type 1 diabetic and am 20..Its almost 9 years of me being type 1 diabetic...

here is an update on how I'm doing on my 3 month diabetes anniversary ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5SuA1lhYdOo.html

Hi so I'm 18 and I've had type 1 diabetes since I was 3 and I just want to ask were you told to use the longlasting insulin the same time as the injection before you had food?? Because I was told to use the longlasting one as soon as I wake up I have to reach for it and then an hour later I can inject insulin for food then eat 😅😅

Hi Sara,can you please tell me how many units of Lantus you’re using a day? Thank you

A very useful tip from an experienced mom of a T1D boy: whenever you see such a large difference between the FSL and the glucometer, measure again! It doesn't happen often but I've had the odd defective measuring stripe (also Contour Next Link) give a wrong reading. So if in doubt, measure again!

Hey! Nearly 10 years diagnosed and 4 on FSL here :) just a few things I wanted to say to help - the FSL isn’t a CGM but it’s a flash monitor as it doesn’t continuously provide you with your own sugars - you need to prompt it. If possible; when your sensor had 24 hours left - put the new one on and let it “settle”. The readings are very off the first 1/2 days so try and put it on early so when you scan it’s as accurate as possible! Gaps can be formed when there’s more than an 8 hour gap OR when your blood sugars change too quickly. Hope this helps :)

defo don’t feel like you need to eat low carb :’) do what feels natural and pre bolusing is your friend!

I have diabetes love your story love your channel ready to hear more from u

Hi Lovely I am 23 years old and I live in New Zealand. I am a Type 2 Diabetic using Freestyle Libre and I am on the same insulin as you 😊 I have been a type 2 diabetic for 12 and a half years now

Hi I am 15 and I have type 1 diabetes for almost two years. know I try my best to eat healthy food but I still eat a lot of carbs and I pretty sure a lot of you can relate to that And have a nice day 😊

My son just got diagnosed ( 11 yo) he has dexcom 6and a pump- wich reads and goves insulin 24 hours a day ( its smart) pnly thing we need is to punch in the carbs he eat. - we all ( the parents and the boy) was in hospital for 2 weeks ( norweigian) where we needed to use a pen incase the pump goes out of action

My cousin is only 12 Year old he have typ 1 diabeties, from 4month, that is not stable it changes every half an hour sometime it moves to above 700the meter shows I am sorry and some time it is below 40 we feel soo tired and fed up 3 insulin and 1lantus he used to take, give solution if u have plz help seeing a little kid in toughf tim is soo difficult how can I cure it

hi I’m also a type 1 diabetic

Hi Sarah, I'm fairly new to T1D as well. Well, it's been a year but still. I'm an adult-onset case and I'm Honeymooning so things change for me all the time. I just wanted to share my experience with the Libre. Mine was always about 2 points off and it was especially obvious if I was lower or higher. I decided pretty quickly that it wasn't good enough for me, so I started on Dexcom and it made a world of difference. Just an FYI the Contour Next One Meter is one of the most accurate Meters on the market, so you have a good one there :) Eating somewhat lower carb is fine, I do the same. I hate the spikes I see when I eat a carb heavy meal, especially since I don't yet have an "insuln to carb" ratio. I too pre-bolus, and I've worked it up to about 20 minutes ahead and that seems to help. Anyway, I thought I'd touch base since you're on the newer side like me. :)

I need to get a yt cause mines a bit different I have type one I use deacon g6 I like it’s it’s so easy to manage u normally have it on the top of my arm or stomach

I’m also Type I diabetic and know we have to really think before we eat

Ask a dr about dexcom g6. It alarms when u go low. Or high

Do all diabetics start with long lasting insulin? Or does it just depend on the person?

I have type one and I eat a ton of carbs, lol!!! I use a medtronic sensor sometimes, but it isn't accurate at all!!! Was going to switch to the dexcom, but things never came to fruition, and now I just prick my finger a lot!!

We have the exact same medic alert!!

How old were you when you were diagnosed with t1d

so about 4 years being diabetes and i just found out this kind of glucometer even exists..

Got diagnosed a month ago 🤪😔

How did you tell everyone about ur diabetes? It’s a challenge to tell anyone about me since I am overweight but I am a type 1 diabetic and not everyone knows that type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. Please help :)

Tough go

you got that sweet gcm need a pump now
