Thankyou for your great video. I played it for my wife who has been type1 for about 18 years now. She cried!!! I cant emphasize what an impact it had on her being able to have someone talk about and describe the roller coaster of emotions that plague those affected with type1. Again thankyou so much for finding something positive in your journey and sharing it with those looking for support. God bless you and Happy Native American Heritage Day!!!
Been feeling like this alot lately. But you make sense that you have to take control of your disease and not let it get control of you. Thanks for the great videos!
Your channel was recommended to me by youtube. I’m a T2 diabetic and I have a father who is T1. I was diagnosed with diabetes november 2019. I had 15 mmol/l. Since then I had really hard time accepting this fact. But I’m focused on fighting this monster. On low carb diet helping a lot. My issues have been being consistent pricking my finger. Weird to say it but it needles and stuff isn’t my thing. I could sit for hours trying to prick my finger without getting it done. Changed my lancing and A1C meter to Accu-Check Mobile. It’s better then the first lancet I had by far. It’s a lot more practical too. My bloodsugar have been pretty good lately, anywhere between 5,6 - 6,5 mmol/l. It motivates me a lot knowing how far I’ve come. But yeah totally see the struggles you’re having, because I had some myself and can relate. I hope you’ll stay strong and don’t feel down. Support from me 👍🏻 and subscribed.
Aww Sweetie. I know - 27 years type 1. I escape from my diabetes into quilting, and I make a lot of quilts! Luckily I have a wonderful husband who reads all my signs and signals and catches me when I fall. This is a great video.
You can manage it ... about as good as you can manage a serial killer. I don't have diabeties but my little one does. It's the hardest thing in my life not just day to day keeping her alive but the worry ... the sick to my stomach worry. Giving her pricks and needles never gets easier I hate it. I wish I could give her my pancreas. You are a strong girl and don't forget it.. You have this to deal with ontop of daily life stresses. I am happy their are people like you as it gives me hope for my little one as you are brave, strong and honest. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I hope you are doing as well as you can be.
I understand the feelings that you are having. I was diagnosed at age 11 with T1 D in 1962; without the technology of today. I'm sure you sharing your feelings , will help young T1D today. Unfortunately we did not have that type of communications in my day.
I was diagnosed t1 a year ago and have been going through depression recently. Last week my bs was between 200-400. Its easy to loose motivation but tomorrow’s another day
Hi Alice I been a T1D for 23 years and yeah its easy to lose motivation. After college I was very fit and lean and I was able to control my BG very easy I was extremely insulin sensitive. As I got married I got lazy and packed weight stop exercising. My level soared to the 300, 400s and I felt horrible. I develop questionable spots in my eyes what appear to be micro hemorrhages the beginning of retinopathy. They told me my illness was irreversible and I can only hope to stop the proliferation. I search the web and youtube for people undergoing diabetic complications and I came across Dr. Richard K Bernstein. He proposed a low carb, high protein diet and low insulin doses. I was so crushed and willing to try anything. Following his plan my insulin requirement drop nearly 50% within 3 days. My HbA1c at its worst was 7.8 glucose readings in the upper 400s and even as low as 11 when I passed out. My glucose normalized in hours I was achieving normal levels between 70 to 99 all day. 6 months later I drop 35 lbs and went back to the eye doctor, no detectable problems anymore! I saw the new pictures and my blood vessels look healthy no blood spots or fluid leakage like the previous pictures. Complications are reverseable with normal blood sugars levels, doctors and even diabetics do not expect this to happen but it can. Only thing limit carbs to as low as you can comfortably handle! I highly recommend you take a look at his channel and give it a try and see what it does for you!
I've experienced diabetic burnout for 2-3 years. It was bad. I was tired and just fed up with the responsibility of all that. It made me depressed. My numbers were constantly high, my A1C was getting higher and later I nearly lost my vision. I've always had an issue with my numbers and keeping them somewhat close to my range. I'm still working very hard to get myself back on track from going through all that. It was the lowest point in my life and now I'm doing much better now that I have a better mindset and the Dexcom G6
I’m afraid bc I feel like I’ve already ruined myself and am having a really hard time getting back on track. I’m so guilty all the time. I was ‘perfect’ during my 3 pregnancies but after I had them I burned out. My hands and feet are always cold and I’m so afraid.
