DAY IN THE LIFE AS A DIABETIC *type 1* 

I'm actually grateful that you didn't wait for a "good diabetes" day. You are soooo helping others who might be having a hard time with their own diabetes.

I feel so much repect for you right now. You're a very bubbly person who is always positive, happy and jolly in the videos giving the best of you we may easily forget how complicated it may be to adapt to diabetes and the struggles it brings to have it all under control.

The thing about getting insulin in the thighs is that it doesn’t absorb as quickly as the arms or the stomach and when it does finally absorb it drops your blood sugar quickly and significantly instead of gradually so it’s the worst location to get insulin out of the 3 spots

Diagnosed at 53, now 56. Reading labels and minimizing carbs and sugar helps, eating a cinnamon role and crap food like that will always make the process much harder. Congrats on your a1c

As someone who’s been a type one diabetic for the majority of my life, Devin, you are genuinely doing great for someone who was diagnosed so late in life. You’re doing what’s best for you and your health, and that’s all that matters. Sending good vibes your way🫶

I was just diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic in March and you have been so helpful in my t1d journey and allow me to have grace with my self and not get too over my head with t1d.

Devin…omg thank you for sharing! I’m in tears and have been. My (just turned) 3 year old daughter was just diagnosed. Figuring out the insulin, the dexcom always going off, the educational piece- preschool (who will administer insulin), the constant fear and sad/upset we get when having to make her wait to eat and not being able to have watermelon when everyone else is…it’s so hard!! You are a warrior!! Please any and all advice welcomed!! Xoxo

Oooof, you accidentally threw away the transmitter? That's an expensive mistake. 😢

Y’all are just the sweetest couple. The love of God shines through y’all’s marriage. Love watching your videos. You guys are a true inspiration! I just wanna be friends cause y’all are so down to earth. God bless you guys ❤

The struggle is real I know how you feel when my sugar gets low I get the shakes really bad when it’s high yea I wouldn’t have woke up lol

Devin and Hunter, y’all are SO fun to watch. And I can’t tell you enough how much more joy and fun is in y’all’s videos because you love Jesus. It’s evident in the way you love each other, your daughter, and those around you. Keep shining your light! We appreciate you all the way from Texas! p.s. I went to Samford and my college roomie was from Dothan and I never got around to try boiled peanuts and I think I just HAVE to next time I’m over there! 💕

Devin, You are helping so many people with your diabetes info. Please continue this series.

Giiirrrrl...that a1c is a big improvement. My husband is type 2, bc of myotonic dystrophy. He really echoes to me so much of what you are saying about management and maximizing health and temptations. It's a lot. That a1c shows how hard you are working on it!

Love you and praying for you through this!

I feel so passionate and strongly about diabetes and I don't even have it. I watched my dad struggle for so long with diabetes and not really take care of it and it was so scary and heartbreaking. Good luck on your health journey girl, you got this ❤❤

Thanks for sharing! I am td1 for 5yrs now and I've had good a1cs and bad a1cs and it's just nice to see that other people have those days where blood sugar just doesn't want to cooperate. Would love to see more diabetic focused videos from you!

I have type 1 diabetes and it’s so hard for me I can’t control my sugars but you give me like so much hope and happiness you make me want to do better you are the best you are wat I needed to see ❤luv you so much!!

Yay! We are diabetic omnipod/ dex sisters xoxo....I've been diabetic since I was 3 yrs old, so I completely understand everything you are going through!! You are doing amazing - t1 is so hard....don't be so hard on yourself just do your best!! Love you girlie ❤❤❤❤

I love seeing these kind of videos helps me with my husband that is tyoe 1 also and he is just now getting on the dexcom and omnipod finally after 2 years of being diagnosed with type 2 and then shortly after type 1! Its been hard rollercoaster! But so helpful to see how you manage it all and to know he isnt the only one with struggles with highs and then all of a sudden it drops low! Crazy! But love y'all! 💕

My daughter is a T1 as well. She was DXd at 8 years old. She had a pump years ago but went off it for years. She recently got a T Slim and a CGM. She’s getting serious about her health because she wants to have a baby! Her A1C went from over 12 to 6.2❤❤❤
