WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE A LOW BLOOD SUGAR!!!!

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE A LOW BLOOD SUGAR!!!!
Thank you❤
This meter is a pos. I can’t even get it to connect to my phone by Bluetooth.
Going into it at 68 would make me nervous because for me when I’m that low I can get critically low within 5-10 minutes easily. I feel like I would have had to drink something before going under
The number tell you how deep the needle goes
The only good thing about Livongo is free test strips and lancets. The meter is supposed to connect with Teledoc using Tmobile. I can see a cell tower from my house, but meter has NEVER yet connected. The Iphone app is garbage and meter does not blutooth with phone.
Can't set it back to English
Aide me please
Aide me please
Thanks
Thank you
I CANNOT GET THIS THING TO LINEUP! I WENT TO CVS AND THE PHARMACIST PRICKED MY FINGER AND IT LINED UP PERFECTLY! I AM AT MY WITS END!! Sorry for SHOUTING!!
I LIKE THE NEXT STEP IT ALSO TELL YOUR DR BETTER INFO
The numbers are for the needle. The higher it is the deeper the needle goes. I keep mine on 2.
70-110 before meals is normal.
Do you know the difference betwen this one vs the next gen?
Hi, just saw this video which was made 3 years ago, but I am new to Omnipod, TD1, and hypothyroidism. Both my sister & I inherited inmune disease and one of my nieces has a juvenile arthritis inmune disease. Is there a way you can re record your husband assist in applying Omnipod on back? May coming from back to avoid blocking the application? Having hard time selecting good sites & yes, stomach & side sleeper so want to avoid my side as well.
Sorry, only new to Omnipod, been TD1 since teenage years and discovered I had Hashimoto disease a couple of years ago.
Did you take long lasting insulin the morning of colonoscopy?
I would get an ice cream maker and make my own, if I were you, because that's what I've done. My favorite flavors, are coffee, Mint/Mintchip, Spamoni, Strawberry and Vanilla. All of which can be made with NO SUGAR ADDED, if you get the right ingredients!
Thank you for the video. I see a lot of video and some made from doctors but I didn’t see any one mentioning about diabetes. So I was wondering if my prep is high in sugar but being a Sunday I’m just checking my glucose levels. Thanks once again.I’ve enjoyed this video more then all the previous. It’s been a while you made this video and I hope you Mom and you are still doing well.
Thank you for this video!!!! I really appreciate it!
Which lancet device is that?
it came in the kit
Thank you so much for the infol - type 2 here, having a hard time - got sick with about 2 cups left to drink, took a break from it, feeling better, bm is clear pale yellow, it's time for my pm meds - don't know whether to take my long lasting Toujeo Insulin or not, sugar's at 140 - I put about 4 oz. of apple juice (sugar) in the miralax drink so it wouldn't go low. Procedure at 7 am tomorrow, debating on whether to take the Toujeo. Of course, at this time off night, on a Sunday, nobody to ask. Any suggestions?
Oh goodness I’m not a doctor but my doctor suggested to keep taking my long acting insulin. I hope everything works out for you! I know it’s a lot before the test but you got this! Hope this helps!
@@kaitlincovington677 Katie, thanks for the reply, I think I was a bit panicky at the moment as I'm now reading it lol. Everything turned out just fine. Thanks so much for the reply and suggestions, didn't mean to put you on the spot. Take Care.
This was super helpful. Thank you.
ESPAÑOL
You better start to look for some spanish versions of what you are looking for,instead of telling her to speak your spanish language!!
Just ordered mine thru my insurance. Gonna try out freestyle Libre 3 soon to see how I like it
Halo is not good at all
Hi do I need to set the date because I cannot find a date settings. Tia
Thank you, I'm starting clear diet tomorrow w/my colonoscopy on thurs. You've helped my anxiety. Did you take any metformin on the clear diet day?
I wasn’t on metformin just insulin when I had my test. I still had to take insulin when I had my colon test so I’m sure you probably will have to take metformjn. But I’d talk to you doctor first! Good luck!
I have low blood sugar from time to time. It was 66 at one point. I got it so low because I wasn't taking enough carbs, and too much exercise. I'm not diabetic. I drank 3 slushies, ate 1 whole pizza, and a big thing of coke. At 11 in the morning I checked it, it was 93. It's the magic of running lol.
Nice video, I use the Libre sensor with Blucon and love them for tracking my blood glucose values. The alarms are nice and loud enough to wake me up. You can adjust your GS ranges to whatever you want. The best part about blucon is that it updates the glucose readings on the phone and watch without scanning the sensor or pricking your finger.
Thank u so much for this
I found out I am pre diabetic, so this has been my go to for getting my ice cream fix. Ive been loving the vanilla Bean with a few cut strawberries. 🍦 🍓 😋
Thank you for your thoughtful review. Beware of Livongo. One day this meter appeared with no explanation and my birthday present this year was a no connection message and a number to call. I called the number and the woman said she would look into it and get back to me. She never did. Now I have this crappy meter that takes a lot of blood to fill a strip, if the strip will absorb at all, and I have no way to recover my readings from the meter except to scroll through it and write them down, one-by-one. Thanks, Livongo, you scumbags!
Good interview!
There will always be a difference between a CGM and a finger check.
Thanks from Poland Tomorrow is my colonoscopy Diabetes type 1 .
The numbers are the depth that the lancet pricks your finger. I do a 1 or 2.
how do you update your transmitter without the app? my phone is not applicable
I don't use glucose tablets I use smarties the large roll is just as good and taste better thanks for sharing
What is the actual sugar content? What I find is that even if things say "Sugar Free"; there is a log of alcohol sugar, which causes upset stomach and diarrhea.
I never could get the Livongo meter to read, it would time out really quickly. My physician could not get it to work either. Now using a GE100 which is a free meter through Price Shopper pharmacy and it works so much better.
I had a similar experience as you! I took it to CVS and the Pharmacist pricked my finger and it worked PERFECTLY!🤷🏽♂️ I tried it on my own this morning and used up to five strips and it NOT👎🏽 WORK FOR ME!!..Does Medicare and Blue Cross cover GE 100? HELP PLEASE!!
I’m type 2. Just got my livongo yesterday. I have the accu chek meter, but I can’t wait to see how this does.
Same, I will be receiving my livongo equipment soon I'm using accu-chek at the moment
Its not free, they are data mining and probably asked you many confidential medical questions. How do you know this company will keep your information secure since they are not part of the medical chain to be held accountable. They will probably track your readings and determine how to use that in the long run. Lot to give up to save a few bucks.
Nice video, I have NightRider cgm and Libre sensor for monitor the glucose values on phone without scanning and finger prick. Also, I share my glucose data as well as my food insights, activity data to my endo. I found all these features are very useful.
How do u stop old tramitter and get pair the new tranmitter
Sure! Go into your dexcom settings. Go to where it says transmitter and one of the first ones would be to pair new. That’s how you pair a new transmitter!
What about popcorn?
Popcorn isn’t a bad snack for diabetics as long as it isn’t loaded down with butter! I used to eat the skinny popcorn that’s at the store!
just got mine today
Thats how cons work, they give you minimal value item and you give up all your medical info for free.
If you are young, active, only borderline Diabetic, and with no weight problems eating snacks with less sugar and starch may help you. I'm 76 now, and I can only keep my insulin level and fat storage down by not snacking, eating very little carbs, and having only two meals a day. I must change my lifestyle as I get older. It seems I need different 5 year plans for a sustainable lifestyle as I grow older.
How do you change batteries
Great question. I actually never changed the batteries. I would always just buy a new meter if my contour next one started messing up. I think you can buy the kit at Walmart for like 15-20 bucks.
@@kaitlincovington677 Thanks Kaitlin. That sounds a lot better than messing with those batteries! 🙎♂️
Wow I got your videos recommend on my channel and there has been so much going on with you guys! Congratulations! We also had a miscarriage at 15 weeks and another miscarriage at 6 weeks, there are no words to describe how terrible it is going though that but it's so exciting when you finally have a good healthy pregnancy. Looks like you're glowing 🌟🌟🌟. You're going to have a ton of fun with that little one.
Oh wow! Yes we are so excited for our little one. And so sorry you guys have go through miscarriages in the past. Praying for your family!
@@kaitlincovington677 That is ok! It is hard going through that but I can only imagine how much harder it is for the women who never are able to have a child.
