Amen to that

Odd that he’d deflect. Personally, I don’t dose if my meal doesn’t have carbs. Don’t know why he couldn’t answer that one though 🤷

Appreciate you 🙏

This is very interesting! I’ll make sure to stay aware of that. 👍

I’m sorry that you had a bad experience with the doctor. I hope you can find better help, especially if it’s impacted your mental health. Even so, it’s incredible to hear you’ve made some great changes for health! 50 lbs is amazing! Us Type 1’s are trying to be healthy, like you. Wishing you the best 💪

This means a lot, thank you! I think there’s pros and cons to whenever someone is diagnosed, but no matter when it happens, I’m glad we’re not alone in it 👍

This is the best aspect of a site like RUclips and creators like yourself. I honestly don't have any close friends that are diabetics, so being able to watch videos and learn about other diabetic experiences makes this disease feel less lonely. Keep up the great work!

I guess I do need to talk about that more! I’ve been doing MDI since I was diagnosed 5 years ago. I’m heavily debating going onto a pump but I’m waiting for life to calm down before I make the big switch and mess up my sugars for however long.

Appreciate it! Yeah I’m seriously considering switching to a pump at the start of next year. Heard way too many good things about them and it’s probably time I switch.

@@archetypeone - Of course. Definitely switch when you can.

5.2 is incredible!! Congratulations! Hopefully your doctor is as stoked about a 5.2 as you are!

@@archetypeone I'm very fortunate that way! I've ended up with a pretty decent team between my endo and diabetes educator, who happens to be T1D herself! They see the bigger picture and respect and support my goals of optimization before convenience!

That is awesome! I’m glad to know there are good docs out there who have your back!

My 90 day report on my dexcom has me at 1% Very High 11% High 79% In Range 7% Low 2% Very Low. I will admit that I’m MDI mostly because I’ve been doing it for so long and having another device/chords/something to learn is somewhat daunting. I feel like with the years of MDI, I’ve got a system down and know my body and doses well enough (not perfect, but well). I know the pump has a lot of pros, but I don’t know if they’re worth it for me right now. But I’m always curious. Are you MDI or pump?

2% very low is not bad, though! I always carry some smarties and or glucose tabs with me, and keep them next to my bed.

@@grumpyinbrooklyn6347 great tip! What are your favorite glucose tabs?

Wow, that’s awesome! Are you doing anything different to cause that?

@@archetypeone high dose of Calcitriol, Quercetin, resveratrol and some other things which were suggested to me.

@@archetypeone I did high dose vitamin D calcitriol, Quercetin later on a combination of GLP1-A and Harmine

@@alanchong333 very interesting. Well congratulations! Hope you can stay off insulin and keep that A1C down 👍

Type 1 diabetics never get off of insulin though so were u possibly misdiagnosed initially because it does happen. Sometimes a younger person is assumed to b tupe 1 but they r really Type 2. Sometimes an older person is assumed to b type 2 when they r really Type 1. My diagnosis initially was type 2 but was officially changed to type 1.

3 hours is a long time to cramp up.. Congrats on running a half with T1D, that’s awesome!

Yeah they can be tough!

Love that you felt empowered! Not knowing can be very hard so I’m glad this resonated.

29 is plenty low! Hope you came out of that quick!

I used Tresiba when I was first diagnosed for maybe a year or two, but then my insurance switched me to Toujeo. I think it’s been alright but I also don’t have much to compare it to. Thank you for sharing this! I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know this was a thing so I need to look into it.

@@archetypeoneyes. I will only use Tresiba when I take my pump breaks. It has the flattest profile and helps to prevent lows. My insurance wouldn’t cover it, so I just buy it through Single care. I always keep a few syringes in my refrigerator. You’ve been diabetic for about a year longer than I have. I’m kind of surprised your doctor hasn’t put you on the pump. Once you go on the pump, you really see how the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The convenience of being able to give yourself an injection at any time, to micro bolus, to have the automated system, stop your insulin when you’re heading low. There are other advantages like for example being able to program the pump to increase your basal insulin in the early morning hours, to avert the dawn phenomenon. You can’t do that with MDI.

Thank you! Props to you as well! Running with T1D is no joke. Keep it up 👍

@@archetypeone agreed! I just ran a half in Wyoming. Ran a marathon last year in Salt Lake. You video moved me. Made me cry, watched it with my girlfriend. What your wife did for you my lady did for me in the marathon. I started running with her after we met, decided to train for the marathon she signed up for . I had two months. Hadn’t ran in 5 years. Hurt myself 2 weeks into training. So I pretty much ran it with no real training. And had 7 miles left told her if I can’t go on, you go without me. She said no, we are doing this together. So when you shared what your lady did, it hit me hard. Keep it up! Proud of you. I am trying to figure this running and blood sugar thing. So I’ll be watching for any tips. I haven’t been the best diabetic. In recovery as well so this is the first time in my life that I have no vices. Just running and working in recovery. Take care! B🏴

Love this. Thanks for sharing! You and your lady sound great. I’ll try to get more running tips in here!

😂 low blood sugar does crazy things

I’m the same below 60, it’s tough. Thankfully, I was at home with family or I would’ve called someone to make sure I was safe.

Dang. That’s low. Hope you were ok 🙏

Hope you don’t see that one again 👍

That’s impressive, I am straight up useless at anything below 45

bro said he functions at 18 hahaha

Holy cow! Glad you’re ok, that’s a crazy story. Great tip!

I’m using the Dexcom G7. There is an app for the watch 👍

Yeah 28 is serious! There’s no feeling quite like being low. Hope you don’t see that 28 (or lower) again!

Dexcom G7 has an Apple Watch app that sends your numbers real time to your watch. You do have to have your phone on you still but it’s pretty nice to have!

I hit 300 a few days ago! Hope it comes down for ya!

I didn’t even feel like I was at 23 until I checked, super weird. I stopped working out immediately and got sugars in ASAP 👍

Probably off cause I dubbed it all 🤷

@@archetypeone I was just making sure it wasn't on my end. Thank you.

Appreciate it! 🙏

Wow 😧 don’t know how you do it!

Okay.. But don't u ever get faint or headaches or feel lethargic ?

🧢 here hold this for me or go get yourself checked by a medical professional because I'm a type one diabetic and if you just "casually sit at 40" that is DANGEROUS

Glad to know you’ve felt that mental stength! Thank for the comment, this is very kind. The kid part is tough, but being a parent is an incredible thing. I’ve worried about my son getting T1D a few times and it’s always scary, but I try not to let it stop me from being hopeful for everything else is his life. Keep up that resilience 💪!

I didn’t see this until just now! So sorry! Long runs are tough, and it took me a while to figure out that I needed 25-30g of carbs every 30 minutes on my long runs. I had to experiment with different food and timing over the course of a few weeks to get it really dialed. I did eat big the night before a big run, but I still had to keep up my carb schedule like normal. I was also on keto/low-carb for a good chunk of my training, and on long runs I still had to get carbs in every 40-45 minutes. Another helpful tip is hydration! Dehydration messed with my sugars for a while before I even knew what was going on. I’d recommend getting some electrolytes in as well as carbs before and during those runs! 6 mile runs are no joke, especially with T1D! Hope this helps! Keep it up 💪

I got diabetic type two but I have been trying to run as soon as run 1 and half my sugar goes to 68! Any recomendations?

@MGOMEZ78 way to get running! That’s awesome! So sugars can be tough. I like to eat a good meal two hours before, and sometimes I even like starting my run when my sugars are a little higher (160-180). I carry snacks with me too that I eat as I run so I don’t go low. Type 1 behaves a little different than type 2 but I hope you’ll figure it out!

Thank you! Now I understand why they have the med tent 😅
