im diabetic as well, this video and the comments have made me feel so much happier. i was diagnosed 3 months ago, my injections always bleed and swell up, and my nurse cant get me a pump. but knowing other people r going through this have made me feel like im not alone.
No one diagnosed with Diabetes type 1 or 2 is alone. ❤️ God is With you. And so is the diabetic community. We face many challenges but having faith and people that love and care. We move forward together. We need smart people to create new inventions and a cure.
Thank you for your candor and honesty about your experience having type one diabetes. People that have type two diabetes like myself don’t understand the difficulties of having type one.
Hang in there, Clemmy! I have been a Type 1 diabetic for 55 years. I have been blessed to have no problems with my eyes, kidneys, or extremities. I have been on an insulin pump for 20 years! A diabetics attitude makes a world of difference.
What a fantastically inspirational young woman. My son is 18 and also a type 1 diabeties and coping as well as can be expected, he's been diagnosed from the age of just 16. Keep it up love, you're doing so well. And follow your dreams what ever they are.
I started university just 3 weeks ago and this video has made me realise I am not the only one at university struggling with my diabetes. Also I don't like going out drinking and partying in the evenings as I worry what it will do to my diabetes so it's nice to hear I am not alone, even if I feel I am!
Crazy how hard had to fight for the pump. Here in the USA we start pumping immediately on many cases! Hope you’re still doing well! Thanks for sharing your story!
Well. This story was published 10 years ago, so I'd imagine things are a bit different now. Also, as far as I know, you're fine 'in the USA' when you've got decent insurance, while in the UK you have the NHS (National Health Service) system. So I wonder how different countries, eg. USA vs UK, cope with diabetes, if you take an average citizen.
Depends on where you live and your insurance or lack of... I live in Michigan and would cost me around $600 a month for all the supplies so I just use the pens... Some people pay nothing while Some have to pay up to 1,400 a month for their supplies, it's still a big problem across the world
Thank you for sharing your life with everyone! For me Type 1 Diabetes has been the loneliest aspect of my life. It's all on me even when people tell me they are there it's only me who can take care of this. I've been waiting for a pump for two years now and I've had enough waiting. Thank you for giving me hope and strength. ❤️
It's not certain that you'll get it so you can't just say 'Oh don't eat this' what you should say is that you should get tested. You get tested for other auto-immune diseases when you get diabetes ( At least diabetes if not other auto-immunes)
see in this day in age when u get type 1 you should instantly be put on the pump, it works so much better then pens, now not everyone is good with technology so a little test and some classes on the pump would be good just to make sure ur a good person for a pump, i got my type one this February and i was on pens for literally 3 months then was on my pump, the day i got the pens was the day i started the paper work for a pump, here in Canada health care wont say no to u for getting a pump but u do need a written letter from a specialist on the matter saying u know how to work it and are responsible. im tired of hearing people on RUclips saying there insurance wont let them get a pump, that's just crazy, if ur paying for the insurance then u should be aloud anything you desire to treat yourself, specially with type 1 diabetes, it just shows how much people know about this disease
Gluten and milk.... that's for celiacs and lactose-intolerants. Those are both auto-immune diseases as well as diabetes, but it isn't a certain that you will have them with other auto-immune diseases.
are you an endocrinologist?
I have type 1 I'm 16 in school it's anoying teachers think they are more educated then they think
