I was diagnosed with t1 when I was 10. I wasn't surprised I had it. Two of my cousins have it and so does my grandpa. I wasn't comfortable at first to put in my own insulin shots, but then I was able to do it. The good thing about having two other diabetic cousins is that we always test together and guess eachothers numbers. But I'm so great full that I had my family and background information from my cousins I couldn't thank them enough.
I was diagnosed when I was 11 also!!! I just want to say you are a huge inspiration to me with my diabetes. You make me laugh so hard in some of your videos but most of all you inspire me. You are the best diabetic youtuber ever!!!
I was diagnosed on the 20th of April of 1997, my count was 600, Week before i turned 15 year old, video brought alot of memories, I went into Children's Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas, yes it was tough the first year, well after i found a dr that cared and explained every thing started leveling out
Danica, I have had diabetes now 47 plus years and am very grateful to Drs Banting and Best. Not to mention the first night I was in the hospital and had been given an insulin shot I did not have to get up once!!! Such joy! Crazy I know, but it made me so happy! In those days we had to use test tubes and measure our urine and then drop a tablet in and use a color chart to see where our sugar was. Things have progressed so very much.......
I am not diabetic, but I have a friend who has type one. I love to be educated on this topic, because it really interests me. Thank you for sharing your story, and educating the world about the truths of diabetes. BTW, live-abetes is a great name. ♥️
when i was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes i was 16 which is really old to be diagnosed since the oldest age to be diagnosed usually is 14. like her i was also drinking a lot of water, and urinating every hour about, my blood sugar (in mg/dl which is what i think she was using) was about 880, to give a comparison for me i'm supposed to keep it about between 60 and 100. it got so bad my vision was being affected because my eyes were thinly glazed with sugar, before i knew what was going on i got glasses which surprisingly helped. At this point i knew something was wrong so my parents drove me to the hospital and i stayed over night with two catheters in my arms. Weirdly enough i didn't have keystones. My attitude was it sucked but i could have been worse and i was old enough to better deal with it. my vision returned, which made it weird explaining to people how my vision miraculously got better. and now i just fit diabetes into my routine and try to keep it under control.
Hi. Wow 880, sorry you had such a bad time at diagnosis, and with your eyes. You can get diagnosed with Type 1 at any age, really. I was almost 15 and my Mom was 36 when she was diagnosed.
You are so cute, and have such a bubbly and positive attitude. I wish you the best in life. I turn 60 next month, and I have had diabetes since I was 12. All in all, I am doing well for having this insidious disease for so long. I do, however, have stage 3B kidney disease, but my nephrologist is hoping I can get another 5 or 6 years out of my kidneys. I was diagnosed back in 1972 - and I remember the week or two leading up to my diagnosis like it was yesterday, but it is a long story. We did not have all of the tools that we have today - blood meters, insulin pumps. I never minded shots, even when I was doing them 5 or 6 times a day. I have lived a good life, and diabetes has not kept me from doing anything that a “normal” person does. I have played sports my whole life, and am still very active. I have a couple of advanced degrees, and have a good job. I have travelled the world. I would have retired a few years ago, but I am uninsurable. I live a pretty healthy lifestyle - although I was not a disciplined diabetic during high school and college. I also think that all of the supplements that I took during my body building days hastened my kidney disease. I have been on an insulin pump for about 8 years now, and it has been a tremendous help. I have tried to remain positive my whole life, but it does get frustrating that sometimes no matter how hard you try, your blood sugars just do not cooperate. This is normal, you must not beat yourself up over it. I also never felt sorry for myself - I realized that this was the hand I was dealt, and I can either roll up and die, or make the best of it. Besides - I felt pretty fortunate, as a boy I knew that was a year younger than me was diagnosed with leukemia about a month before I was diagnosed, and a girl I was friends with was diagnosed with MS. I realized that there are always people that are worse off. The boy died a few years later at age 14. Good luck managing your diabetes - it can be a very frustrating disease. Keep up the good work, and never give up.
@@sardarafeed3057 Hi!! I hope you are doing well. I am still hanging in there. I have progressed to stage 4 - well, deep into stage 4. My EGFR has been as low as 17 a few times, and sometimes bounces back up to 21. Fatigue and muscle wasting are my biggest problems. I have lost a lot of weight and strength. I struggle to find the energy to do chores around the house. I still work fairly long hours, then take a nap after dinner, and usually get to the gym - not that that does much for me. All in all, other than fatigue, I feel pretty good. My 3 siblings, as well as a couple of friends, have offered to donate a kidney when the time comes. My sister is the best match, so we are just waiting for my kidneys to almost get to the point of failure, then do the transplant before I have to go on dialysis. How are things going with you? Great to hear from you.
I was diagnosed T1 last year, at 39yo and my experience was similar in that I was drinking a LOT, peeing a LOT and at one stage both at the same time. I was 450 when they tested me and there was talk of hospital but for some reason and I don't remember why I didn't end up there but I think the symptoms went away very quickly after starting on medication. This is still new to me hundreds of tests and insulin injections later, but a year on, its better, the first 6 months were traumatising.
Your a star it took over 6 yrs. for me to get diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. The doctors in Missouri only listen to schizophrenics. Schizophrenia is a mental illness where someone hears voices in their head. I spent my entire life in Diabetic Ketoacidosis. The reason why Type 1 Diabetes never got diagnosed is because my step brother Jacob paid a doctor to say there is no such thing as Type 1 Diabetes. He also paid several doctors to become apart of the Holocaust.
Terry Wood I have several disabilities and it comes from being born at 24 weeks early and also the symptoms I had were quite scary 1) Excessive thirst 2) Frequent Urination 3) Bed wetting so bad that if I ever got up in the middle of the night to go pee, I would be getting up over 60 times a night. 4) I was vomiting from hell. I had the brain hemorrhage after birth and the stroke at age 2 and everyone thinks it is funny to say I deserve to die because I am a dwarf or I was born at 24 weeks early. Yes I was born at 24 weeks early and I have multiple health problems.
I need help. For the past couple weeks i have been extremely tired to the point where i have to be constantly moving to keep myself awake in school. For the past 4 or 5 days, i have been EXTREMELY thirsty. I have a 32 ounce water bottle and i am drinking about 6 of those every day, which is about 15 pounds of water per day. I have also had stomach aches, head aches, and i look a lot thinner. I told my mom but she just told me that "its just puberty and you are just being healthy with all the water" i dont know what to do, so if someone replied it would be great!
Best For You okay u have no clue what diabetes is u can't treat it u have to use insulin injections Please please please!!!!!!!! if u have any of these symptoms (extreme thirst,headaches,drowsiness, frequent urination) go see a doctor because if u wait to long u can fall into a Coma (a diabetic coma which can be deathly ) SOO SEE YOUR DOCTER
Hi my name is Brooke and I am a diabetics and I have had it since I was 10 month old so I know a little u might have diabetes and if u need any help or anything I am will to help u
It is so hard at first!! Every time you check your blood sugar, in ur mind it's like NO this can't be my life... but soon ur like gotta check my sugar cause it's my life. it gets better stay strong!!
Hey! I'm also diabetic! I was diagnosed when I was 15 and it was funny, because I didn't feel sad or anything. I just thought: "ah... Ok...". My mom freaked out, though. My friends at school were also very suportive. They would get super excited with my "tecnological" diabetes stuff, such as glucometer and insuline pen, and some of them would insist on taking my blood sugar just for fun. Congratulations on your channel! Cheers from Brazil!
I had my finger pricked before at the doctors because i have a really bad full blown phobia of needles and I wouldn’t let the doctor come near my arm with the needles. But im planning on getting tested to see if im diabetic after this whole Coronavirus thing is over just to be sure because my family and I think i could possibly have it but my symptoms could be other things to but we just wanna be sure! :) thanks for sharing your videos they comfort me in this time of uncertainty.
Well I found out when I was 8 years old, I'm 22 now. Anyways my story goes like this, I was having a really bad asthma attack and nearly died from it, they doctors put me on prednisone (a steriod) and by the time I was released I went home very weak and dehydrated, also urinating a lot, then I passed out, my mother rushed me to the hospital because she didnt know why I passed out. Then hours later the doctor told me and my mother I was a Type 1 Diabetic
interesting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about best way to prevent diabetes try Diabetes Crusher Tactic (just google it ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy got cool results with it.
Thank you dear, muchachita (little gilr) for posting your more than wonderful videos; you are sooooooo amazing, in deeeeeeeedddd!! You are so sweet and positive!
Hi Danica, I have been having nightmares at night unrelated to stress this has been happening for about 3 weeks, also I have been feeling dizzy and almost passing out every morning when I have a shower which I have before breakfast. What should I do as I am not sure if it is a bad and if I should see a doctor about it? I Love your Videos, I am a fan of your positive attitude on life. I am on twitter and I follow your Twitter account.
I'm 11 years old and this past week I have been so hungry and thirsty. I'm going to the bathroom alot obviously because im drinking so much. And I lost like 5 pounds. And when I eat I will have a huge meal and 5 minutes later I'm starving. What should I do??
my sons blood sugar was at 1100 believe it or not .. his body was shuting down dr said one more night and he wouldnt have made it . very scary time ! but god is good and my sons a fighter :)
I don't know my blood sugar unfortunately but I was more or less unconscious when taken to the hospital and we were told I wouldn't have last another 2 hours :)
I was born 2/11/81. Diagnosed with type 1 in June 1990. Yep, 9 years old and I'm going to the bathroom every 5 minutes. And drinking water. My father noticed it, checked my bloodsugar, and took me to the hospital. This past thursday, my father passed away at 63 years old from keto-acidosis complication. I ... can't believe it. I should have caught it had I known.
I was diagnosed last year, It was in May, which sucked because my birthday is on June 5, and my sister left so she could have fun with her friends, but to be fair Lizzie WAS going to Australia.
My daughter went into DKA when she was 20 months :( that's how we found out, very scary...ICU for a few days...glucose was 632. I like your story better :)
Three months after my 12th birthday, (1970) I passed out in math class and went into a coma. I came to a day later and they told my mum and dad I wouldn't live to be 30. Back then, there were no meters or pumps. I used a huge, stainless steel syringe and tested my urine in a test tube with strips. I weighed 78 pounds. My doc said I may have gotten it from scarlet fever I got at Woodstock.
Hi! I think its amazing how open you are! :) I have had diabetes since ive was four years old. And i think you are amazing! Sorry for my really bad english!
hi john.please try the blackseed oil.it is concentrated and cold pressed and goes faster into your blood stream then the seeds.dont get me wrong,the seeds are good for other things like making take and putting into food.sweetsunnah also has blackseed capsules,tea bags. etc.i got my mom these tablets from this same company.the tablets are called meta-balance.its supposed to improvethe health your pancreas.great for diabetics.good luck.if it works then spread the word around.
I was diagnosed with type one at the age of 23. One month prior to my diagnosis I had a lot of stress and a fight with my younger sister and bad grades in university ( just want to give you a picture of the pressure I was having before diagnosis). Were you having a lot of pressure before diagnosis or had something happened before diagnosis? I wish you are doing great now.
Hello I'm Ana and I am 11years old and I have t1 diabetes and I got diagnosed with it on June 26 2013 my dad has it also he noticed I was drinking a lot of water and going to the bathroom a lot I went to the hospital and the nurse said my blood was 726!
I was misdiagnosed 3 years ago they said I had type 2. All just because a high blood sugar and I was severely overweight. A yr ago I was tested through a blood test and turns out its type one diabetes. Im still in denial and depressed.. I have a insulin pump... will this get any better for me? Thank you for posting these videos :)
Oh, I had the same symptoms, but none of us (in my family) paid attention. I was diagnosed when I fainted in class and at the time I was only 6. Apparently I was knocked out for more than 20 hours and was taken by an ambulance to Children's Hospital. I stayed there for a month and a half, when I came back to school no one really talked to me. So, basically I was a loner (the girl with a "contagious" disease), so I had to move. I'm struggling with it now and I'm 13.
I found out i had diabetes when i was 4. it was 2 months before my 5th birthday. i also stayed in the hospitial for 3 days. it is good to know i wasnt the only person who wasnt scared of shots lol but i have been living with for 10 years now so its all good. Thanks for sharing you story :D
i was diagnosied in august just recently when i was 10 now im 11 are storys are a little bit of the same just my sugar was 682 and well i felt weak and stuff and i was scared but after i felt better and i was on summer break and i was in the hospital for 4 days and yup are stories are almost the same btw my name is juliana this is my brothers account snd i am a t1d
I think I might have T1D. My dad and my sister have it so I'm very knowledgeable about everything almost. The thing is I don't know if it is or if I'm overreacting. I'm shaky tired thirst blurry vision and always goin to the bathroom.
before i went to the hospital, i spent the night at my diabetic friends house and then i got sick and didnt feel good so i went home and had trouble breathing and my dad took me to the emergency room because i threw up 6 times that day
When I was diagnosed I was meant to be going on a mummy - daughter day too and I was really annoyed when I found out I had to stay in hospital for 3 days... My bg was 26.2... & when I went back to school, someone thought I had died because she didn't understand what diabetes was :)
I was diagnosed at 19. I was on weight watchers (new years resolution) at the time, and was losing weight like crazy. I was like dang this diet is really working. Well I fell off the wagon at one point and noticed that I was still losing weight while eatting little debbie cakes. I had all the typical symptoms, extreme thirst, frequent urination ,and weight loss. I ended up losing 100lbs thinking it was weight watchers. I felt really off one day and just made a doctors appt and they did a finger stick and checked my blood sugar and it was over 600. The blood draw was in the 800s dont remember the exact number but with a 14 a1c
I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes on April 27th 2014 and i was 15 years old.and i had the same symptoms. I was urinating alot I am drinking a water. and my blood sugar was 321
Insulin is good for lowering blood sugars to sustain life, not black seed oil. Exercise can however increase the effectiveness of insulin by around 30%.
I was diagnosed when I was 11, I had been sick but it was just water (wasn't surprised , all i drank for 3 weeks before was water) and I started falling asleep so my Mam asked my sister to test my blood sugar (she has T1 Diabetes aswell) and the moniter said was 333 + so then my mam told me to to a Keaton test and it turned bright purple.. I was in the hospital for a week and i had drips in me constantly.But I was proud cuz i was the only one who didnt need the docter to do my injections :P
I wish I could have caught mine early like you did. But unfortunately I went into a diabetic coma, and that's how I found out. Almost died. It was so scary. I also had lost a lot of weight and had all the same symptoms. Just didn't realize soon enough I guess.
i was 11 to. i was 5'4 and 60 pounds i looked like a walking toothpick. i would go to the bathroom to much and i was WAY underweight. i went to a back to school thing and they tested me because i had the symptoms and my blood was 659. i was in the hospital for 5 days. it was terrifying. this was on 8/17/12.
ah! i was 14 when i found out. i also had no idea what diabetes was. my mom took me to the dr because i lost soo much weight.. when i was at the dr she said that its the style now (losing weight and drinking water). my mom made the dr to give me a blood test.. so i did. next morning the dr called my house super early and asked my dad if they could wake me..my mom got on the phone and started asking what he meant if they could wake me up... the dr was mean and said "do you understand that your daughters blood sugar is 956 and she could go into a coma" . my came and she woke me up... when i woke up she said that the have to go to the dr again because they needed to retake my blood...... so i took a shower and got ready.. the car ride there my parents explained to me that we are going to the hospital because i have diabetes i said ok but it will go away... when we finally got to the hospital the dr walked in and said ok listen you have diabetes and this will bring your family together or it will tare it apart! now i thought that this so call diabetes was going to make my parents get a divorces because of me! but thank god for my mom that she noticed something was wrong!!
This is my first comment on RUclips....been trying for a while :-(>. I'd have been like, "why don't you sit in a wheelchair." Cool you want to be diabetes educator. I wanted to be a nurse 35 years ago after I'd had diabetes a few years. It would have been a good career. I remember the sadness and overwhelmededness at age 15 coming back from the hospital. Testing urine, keeping an inflexible routine not, low carb. I don't remember hypo symptoms ever. One shot a day. Why did they say I could have a normal life? The "15 things I like about diabetes" video blog was so positive. I like being safe. I like that sporting accomplishments are more impressive. I like that we are the first to be helped by genetic engineering. I like that a cure worth more than a lottery win is possible someday.
I was 4 when I was diagnosed and I am 13 now.When i got diagnosed I was in preschool and I had a lot of the same symptoms like drinking a lot of water and going to the bathroom a lot. I also lost a lot of weight and I was really skinny. One night in December I woke up in the middle of the night and I was sick and I was throwing up. My parents knew something was wrong so my dad took me to the hospital. When we got there we were in a room and they checked my blood sugar and I was over 700 and I was really sick and I was dehydrated. It was like a small hospital so I needed to be taken to a bigger hospital and my dad was going to drive me but the doctor said that I was to sick and I needed to get there quickly so I had to be air lifted by helicopter to a children's hospital. I remember that I was crying because in the helicopter it was really uncomfortable because I was strapped down and they were trying to get an IV started but I had really small arms and they kept having to poke me and at the time I was really scared of needles and shots. When we got to the hospital my dad was already there and they pushed me to a room right away.I was in the intensive Care Unit. When I was in the room they finally got the IV in my arm.I remember that I was trying to fall asleep but there was an alarm and when ever I would move my IV it would go off and the nurse would come in my room.The nurse also came in the room and woke me up to check my BG every hour. I was also really thirsty but they wouldn't let me have anything to drink and they wouldn't let me eat anything. My parents stayed in the room with me but whenever they left I would cry because I didn't want them to leave.I was in the intensive care unit for 2 days and then I was moved to another floor.I remember a lot of people came to visit me and they gave me stuffed animals and stuff. The life flight people that air lifted me visited me in the hospital and they gave me a life flight tee- shirt. It was in December around Christmas so Santa also visited me.We had all these educators that were teaching my parents how to give me shots since I was really young. They were also teaching us what diabetes was. I got a teddy bear that had different colored patches on all the places that you can give shots and it had a little diabetes bracelet on it. I was in the hospital for 5 days. I was on shots until I was 7 and then I got a pump.
I was in the hospital for 4 days and I was diagnosed last year in 2018 with ketoacidosis which is Diabetes Type 2 where I have to take insulin and check my blood 4 times a day and now I'm on Metformin which is janumet which has metformin in it my blood is been doing great so I am doing wonderful I go to check my blood one time of day now and I can check it whenever my symptoms where my eyes where blurry my appetite was changing I was thirsty a lot I was about to faint I was breathing Heavenly I couldn't breathe I was gasping for air and I almost died if I would have never texted my mom but I texted my mom and my mom my dad took me to the emergency room and the emergency room admitted me to the hospital my blood sugar was in the 400 I don't know exact number but I know I was in the 400 and my mom was crying and she was scared cuz she didn't know how to shop for a diabetic and my mom she has sugar diabetes which is more different all she has to do is just take Metformin
Had to call in a pediatric nurse when I was sent to the ER by my doctor to get my IV, I was extremely dehydrated. They couldn't get a reading of BS on the meter they had, had to go by the lab draw.
i know what you feel i`ve been diagnosed with diabetes type 1 when i was 11 in year 6 remember when after few months later i had my birthday and i needed to take insulin for my birthday day cake but the sad thing was is :( they did not give me a big bit i was diagnosed in december 2010 just before christmas.
When I was diagnosed I was dry heaving! IMy weight was 58! HOLY CRAP! And my blood sugar was 892 JESUS! I spent 4 days in the hospital and yesterday it was 31 A NEW LOW! Man diabetics these day.
I just got diagnosed at 43 a late age for it but happens. I had a uti but they found sugar in my urine and blood sugar was 298. I went the doctor and they did tests. This confirmed it. I use an insulin pen which isn’t too painful.
I've had diabetes 10 years in August. I was diagnosed at 10. Had all the same symptoms. I think i lost about half my body weight before i was diagnosed. I was only 300 when diagnosed though.
Thank you for being the dedicated, thoughtful, and compassionate doctor that you are, you are more honest than I imagined, thank you so much Dr Igudia RUclips channel for curing my type 2 Diabetes, you are amazing
Same. Was supposed to stay even longer, until they needed the room for someone else... complete bullshit. Had literally one 30min session where I was educated on stuff during that whole week. Should have just done that first, give me a meter and pens and send me home. But wouldn't have generated as much money of course...
I was diagnosed with t1 when I was 10. I wasn't surprised I had it. Two of my cousins have it and so does my grandpa. I wasn't comfortable at first to put in my own insulin shots, but then I was able to do it. The good thing about having two other diabetic cousins is that we always test together and guess eachothers numbers. But I'm so great full that I had my family and background information from my cousins I couldn't thank them enough.
i was diagnosed 2 months ago and i started watching ur vids last month ..... I LOVE THEM!
You are definitely inspirational. My 6 year old was dx last year and seeing an older girl with it and so positive, gives me hope!!
I was diagnosed when I was 11 also!!! I just want to say you are a huge inspiration to me with my diabetes. You make me laugh so hard in some of your videos but most of all you inspire me. You are the best diabetic youtuber ever!!!
My grandma was the first to notice my symptoms too, her eldest son was diabetic and she JUST KNEW.
I’ve been diabetic for maybe 11or 19 years
Don't feel bad, my sugar was 945 when I was diagnosed at age 18
HOLY MOLY! Mine was 780, so I kinda get how you feel... but my lord that is high.
How r u now?
when i was diagnosed i lost 60lbs in 2 months. i was also hospitalized for a week
I was diagnosed on the 20th of April of 1997, my count was 600, Week before i turned 15 year old, video brought alot of memories, I went into Children's Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas, yes it was tough the first year, well after i found a dr that cared and explained every thing started leveling out
Danica,
I have had diabetes now 47 plus years and am very grateful to Drs Banting and Best. Not to mention the first night I was in the hospital and had been given an insulin shot I did not have to get up once!!! Such joy! Crazy I know, but it made me so happy! In those days we had to use test tubes and measure our urine and then drop a tablet in and use a color chart to see where our sugar was. Things have progressed so very much.......
How r u now?
52 years now and doing well.

How could anyone dislike your videos! Your too awesome.
I was in hospital for a week and my mum stayed with me and she did not leave my side
when i was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes i was 16 which is really old to be diagnosed since the oldest age to be diagnosed usually is 14. like her i was also drinking a lot of water, and urinating every hour about, my blood sugar (in mg/dl which is what i think she was using) was about 880, to give a comparison for me i'm supposed to keep it about between 60 and 100. it got so bad my vision was being affected because my eyes were thinly glazed with sugar, before i knew what was going on i got glasses which surprisingly helped. At this point i knew something was wrong so my parents drove me to the hospital and i stayed over night with two catheters in my arms. Weirdly enough i didn't have keystones. My attitude was it sucked but i could have been worse and i was old enough to better deal with it. my vision returned, which made it weird explaining to people how my vision miraculously got better. and now i just fit diabetes into my routine and try to keep it under control.
Hi. Wow 880, sorry you had such a bad time at diagnosis, and with your eyes. You can get diagnosed with Type 1 at any age, really. I was almost 15 and my Mom was 36 when she was diagnosed.
I was 21 when I was diagnosed.... some people get it even later.
Yikes, 60 is pretty low
Yeah, people get diagnosed with type 1 at any age.
So no ketones...very weird
I was 969 and my a1c was 17.6 I was weeks within a diabetic coma and had lost 30 pounds
You are so cute, and have such a bubbly and positive attitude. I wish you the best in life. I turn 60 next month, and I have had diabetes since I was 12. All in all, I am doing well for having this insidious disease for so long. I do, however, have stage 3B kidney disease, but my nephrologist is hoping I can get another 5 or 6 years out of my kidneys. I was diagnosed back in 1972 - and I remember the week or two leading up to my diagnosis like it was yesterday, but it is a long story. We did not have all of the tools that we have today - blood meters, insulin pumps. I never minded shots, even when I was doing them 5 or 6 times a day. I have lived a good life, and diabetes has not kept me from doing anything that a “normal” person does. I have played sports my whole life, and am still very active. I have a couple of advanced degrees, and have a good job. I have travelled the world. I would have retired a few years ago, but I am uninsurable. I live a pretty healthy lifestyle - although I was not a disciplined diabetic during high school and college. I also think that all of the supplements that I took during my body building days hastened my kidney disease. I have been on an insulin pump for about 8 years now, and it has been a tremendous help. I have tried to remain positive my whole life, but it does get frustrating that sometimes no matter how hard you try, your blood sugars just do not cooperate. This is normal, you must not beat yourself up over it. I also never felt sorry for myself - I realized that this was the hand I was dealt, and I can either roll up and die, or make the best of it. Besides - I felt pretty fortunate, as a boy I knew that was a year younger than me was diagnosed with leukemia about a month before I was diagnosed, and a girl I was friends with was diagnosed with MS. I realized that there are always people that are worse off. The boy died a few years later at age 14. Good luck managing your diabetes - it can be a very frustrating disease. Keep up the good work, and never give up.
How r u now?
@@sardarafeed3057 Hi!! I hope you are doing well. I am still hanging in there. I have progressed to stage 4 - well, deep into stage 4. My EGFR has been as low as 17 a few times, and sometimes bounces back up to 21. Fatigue and muscle wasting are my biggest problems. I have lost a lot of weight and strength. I struggle to find the energy to do chores around the house. I still work fairly long hours, then take a nap after dinner, and usually get to the gym - not that that does much for me. All in all, other than fatigue, I feel pretty good. My 3 siblings, as well as a couple of friends, have offered to donate a kidney when the time comes. My sister is the best match, so we are just waiting for my kidneys to almost get to the point of failure, then do the transplant before I have to go on dialysis. How are things going with you? Great to hear from you.
I was diagnosed T1 last year, at 39yo and my experience was similar in that I was drinking a LOT, peeing a LOT and at one stage both at the same time. I was 450 when they tested me and there was talk of hospital but for some reason and I don't remember why I didn't end up there but I think the symptoms went away very quickly after starting on medication. This is still new to me hundreds of tests and insulin injections later, but a year on, its better, the first 6 months were traumatising.
Your a star it took over 6 yrs. for me to get diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. The doctors in Missouri only listen to schizophrenics. Schizophrenia is a mental illness where someone hears voices in their head. I spent my entire life in Diabetic Ketoacidosis. The reason why Type 1 Diabetes never got diagnosed is because my step brother Jacob paid a doctor to say there is no such thing as Type 1 Diabetes. He also paid several doctors to become apart of the Holocaust.

I have several disabilities and it comes from being born at 24 weeks early and also the symptoms I had were quite scary
1) Excessive thirst
2) Frequent Urination
3) Bed wetting so bad that if I ever got up in the middle of the night to go pee, I would be getting up over 60 times a night.
4) I was vomiting from hell.
I had the brain hemorrhage after birth and the stroke at age 2 and everyone thinks it is funny to say I deserve to die because I am a dwarf or I was born at 24 weeks early. Yes I was born at 24 weeks early and I have multiple health problems.
541 but I was in diabetic ketoacidosis. Don't wanna know what I was days I drank a lot of soda and I was shaking
Can u tell me if i do i have been losing weight and have been theisty more than normal and my ketone level is realy high can u help
I need help. For the past couple weeks i have been extremely tired to the point where i have to be constantly moving to keep myself awake in school. For the past 4 or 5 days, i have been EXTREMELY thirsty. I have a 32 ounce water bottle and i am drinking about 6 of those every day, which is about 15 pounds of water per day. I have also had stomach aches, head aches, and i look a lot thinner. I told my mom but she just told me that "its just puberty and you are just being healthy with all the water" i dont know what to do, so if someone replied it would be great!
I've been studying diabetes after which we found a fantastic resource at ralfs remedy method (check it out on google)
Best For You okay u have no clue what diabetes is u can't treat it u have to use insulin injections
Please please please!!!!!!!! if u have any of these symptoms (extreme thirst,headaches,drowsiness, frequent urination) go see a doctor because if u wait to long u can fall into a Coma (a diabetic coma which can be deathly ) SOO SEE YOUR DOCTER
If it's type 1 diabetes, she needs to ignore the remedies and go to the doctor. Get tested for type 1 diabetes asap
Hi my name is Brooke and I am a diabetics and I have had it since I was 10 month old so I know a little u might have diabetes and if u need any help or anything I am will to help u
It is so hard at first!! Every time you check your blood sugar, in ur mind it's like NO this can't be my life... but soon ur like gotta check my sugar cause it's my life. it gets better stay strong!!
Do you use a pump or cgm?
Hey! I'm also diabetic! I was diagnosed when I was 15 and it was funny, because I didn't feel sad or anything. I just thought: "ah... Ok...". My mom freaked out, though. My friends at school were also very suportive. They would get super excited with my "tecnological" diabetes stuff, such as glucometer and insuline pen, and some of them would insist on taking my blood sugar just for fun. Congratulations on your channel! Cheers from Brazil!
Totally sounds like UCSF when my son, Orion, was diagnosed. He had just turned 3
I had my finger pricked before at the doctors because i have a really bad full blown phobia of needles and I wouldn’t let the doctor come near my arm with the needles. But im planning on getting tested to see if im diabetic after this whole Coronavirus thing is over just to be sure because my family and I think i could possibly have it but my symptoms could be other things to but we just wanna be sure! :) thanks for sharing your videos they comfort me in this time of uncertainty.
LeeAnn Jurczyszyn I don’t think I have it but I have my annual today and I rlly hope they don’t take blood lol
My experience was the exact same but I have T2 this was just 3 weeks ago they told me I had to start taking insulin for the same reasons
Well I found out when I was 8 years old, I'm 22 now. Anyways my story goes like this, I was having a really bad asthma attack and nearly died from it, they doctors put me on prednisone (a steriod) and by the time I was released I went home very weak and dehydrated, also urinating a lot, then I passed out, my mother rushed me to the hospital because she didnt know why I passed out. Then hours later the doctor told me and my mother I was a Type 1 Diabetic
interesting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about best way to prevent diabetes try Diabetes Crusher Tactic (just google it ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy got cool results with it.
I had allergic asthma during my childhood and adolescence, then at the age of 23 I was diagnosed with t1d
Thank you dear, muchachita (little gilr) for posting your more than wonderful videos; you are sooooooo amazing, in deeeeeeeedddd!! You are so sweet and positive!
My grandma also noticed and told me to go to the doctor
My story is almost exactly the same as yours
Hi Danica,
I have been having nightmares at night unrelated to stress this has been happening for about 3 weeks, also I have been feeling dizzy and almost passing out every morning when I have a shower which I have before breakfast. What should I do as I am not sure if it is a bad and if I should see a doctor about it?
I Love your Videos, I am a fan of your positive attitude on life.
I am on twitter and I follow your Twitter account.
i have a question what is a combo bolus.
I wasn't put in the hospital when I was first diagnosed. First reading was 385. I was treated as an outpatient when I was put on insulin.
I'm 11 years old and this past week I have been so hungry and thirsty. I'm going to the bathroom alot obviously because im drinking so much. And I lost like 5 pounds. And when I eat I will have a huge meal and 5 minutes later I'm starving. What should I do??
I still remember when I got diagnosed. I'm guessing that my blood sugar was around 700-800 when I got it.
my sons blood sugar was at 1100 believe it or not .. his body was shuting down dr said one more night and he wouldnt have made it . very scary time ! but god is good and my sons a fighter :)
+Marisa Jacobo, Glad he pulled through.
I don't know my blood sugar unfortunately but I was more or less unconscious when taken to the hospital and we were told I wouldn't have last another 2 hours :)
I was born 2/11/81. Diagnosed with type 1 in June 1990. Yep, 9 years old and I'm going to the bathroom every 5 minutes. And drinking water. My father noticed it, checked my bloodsugar, and took me to the hospital. This past thursday, my father passed away at 63 years old from keto-acidosis complication. I ... can't believe it. I should have caught it had I known.
Hi there. I am 13 almost 14 and was diagnosed on Dec. 23. We had all of the same symptoms!!
I was diagnosed last year, It was in May, which sucked because my birthday is on June 5, and my sister left so she could have fun with her friends, but to be fair Lizzie WAS going to Australia.
My daughter went into DKA when she was 20 months :( that's how we found out, very scary...ICU for a few days...glucose was 632. I like your story better :)
this was literally exactly what happened to me its weird how similar our stories are...
Three months after my 12th birthday, (1970) I passed out in math class and went into a coma. I came to a day later and they told my mum and dad I wouldn't live to be 30. Back then, there were no meters or pumps. I used a huge, stainless steel syringe and tested my urine in a test tube with strips. I weighed 78 pounds. My doc said I may have gotten it from scarlet fever I got at Woodstock.
Hi! I think its amazing how open you are! :) I have had diabetes since ive was four years old. And i think you are amazing! Sorry for my really bad english!
hi john.please try the blackseed oil.it is concentrated and cold pressed and goes faster into your blood stream then the seeds.dont get me wrong,the seeds are good for other things like making take and putting into food.sweetsunnah also has blackseed capsules,tea bags. etc.i got my mom these tablets from this same company.the tablets are called meta-balance.its supposed to improvethe health your pancreas.great for diabetics.good luck.if it works then spread the word around.
i was diagnosed a couple months ago with type 1 at the age of 29 =/ i too lost around 30lbs. Really enjoy your vids :)
I was diagnosed with type one at the age of 23. One month prior to my diagnosis I had a lot of stress and a fight with my younger sister and bad grades in university ( just want to give you a picture of the pressure I was having before diagnosis). Were you having a lot of pressure before diagnosis or had something happened before diagnosis? I wish you are doing great now.
Hello I'm Ana and I am 11years old and I have t1 diabetes and I got diagnosed with it on June 26 2013 my dad has it also he noticed I was drinking a lot of water and going to the bathroom a lot I went to the hospital and the nurse said my blood was 726!
Meeting Dr IGUDIA RUclips channel was the beginning of a new life for me after using his herbs medication in curing my Diabetes disease.
I was misdiagnosed 3 years ago they said I had type 2. All just because a high blood sugar and I was severely overweight. A yr ago I was tested through a blood test and turns out its type one diabetes. Im still in denial and depressed.. I have a insulin pump... will this get any better for me? Thank you for posting these videos :)
I was 790 😬 and was in dka
Me too - sad and mad that it happened to me!
wow......just cannot believe how almost exactly alike we are......it's insane
Oh, I had the same symptoms, but none of us (in my family) paid attention. I was diagnosed when I fainted in class and at the time I was only 6. Apparently I was knocked out for more than 20 hours and was taken by an ambulance to Children's Hospital. I stayed there for a month and a half, when I came back to school no one really talked to me. So, basically I was a loner (the girl with a "contagious" disease), so I had to move. I'm struggling with it now and I'm 13.
I found out i had diabetes when i was 4. it was 2 months before my 5th birthday. i also stayed in the hospitial for 3 days. it is good to know i wasnt the only person who wasnt scared of shots lol but i have been living with for 10 years now so its all good. Thanks for sharing you story :D
Wow... I was 2 when I was diagnosed dont even remember any of it. I do know I was over 1000 and in a coma before my parents made it to the hospital.
How r u now?
i was diagnosied in august just recently when i was 10 now im 11 are storys are a little bit of the same just my sugar was 682 and well i felt weak and stuff and i was scared but after i felt better and i was on summer break and i was in the hospital for 4 days and yup are stories are almost the same btw my name is juliana this is my brothers account snd i am a t1d
I think I might have T1D. My dad and my sister have it so I'm very knowledgeable about everything almost. The thing is I don't know if it is or if I'm overreacting. I'm shaky tired thirst blurry vision and always goin to the bathroom.
wish my diagnosis was as gentle as yours
Did they put you in ICU?
before i went to the hospital, i spent the night at my diabetic friends house and then i got sick and didnt feel good so i went home and had trouble breathing and my dad took me to the emergency room because i threw up 6 times that day
I can belive they made you go straight to the hospital!!!! I went home had dinner and backed a bag!!!
When I was diagnosed I was meant to be going on a mummy - daughter day too and I was really annoyed when I found out I had to stay in hospital for 3 days... My bg was 26.2... & when I went back to school, someone thought I had died because she didn't understand what diabetes was :)
I was diagnosed at 19. I was on weight watchers (new years resolution) at the time, and was losing weight like crazy. I was like dang this diet is really working. Well I fell off the wagon at one point and noticed that I was still losing weight while eatting little debbie cakes. I had all the typical symptoms, extreme thirst, frequent urination ,and weight loss. I ended up losing 100lbs thinking it was weight watchers. I felt really off one day and just made a doctors appt and they did a finger stick and checked my blood sugar and it was over 600. The blood draw was in the 800s dont remember the exact number but with a 14 a1c
I was diagnosed in 1973 when I was 8 years old. I hated it. Made me feel like a freak. I'm sure my BG was over 900
I can relate so much to your story. Thank you so much for sharing
I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes on April 27th 2014 and i was 15 years old.and i had the same symptoms. I was urinating alot I am drinking a water. and my blood sugar was 321
I had the same problem! I was using the bathroom so many times it wasnt even funny.
Insulin is good for lowering blood sugars to sustain life, not black seed oil. Exercise can however increase the effectiveness of insulin by around 30%.
glad to assist.your welcomed anytime.
I was diagnosed when I was 11, I had been sick but it was just water (wasn't surprised , all i drank for 3 weeks before was water) and I started falling asleep so my Mam asked my sister to test my blood sugar (she has T1 Diabetes aswell) and the moniter said was 333 + so then my mam told me to to a Keaton test and it turned bright purple.. I was in the hospital for a week and i had drips in me constantly.But I was proud cuz i was the only one who didnt need the docter to do my injections :P
I wish I could have caught mine early like you did. But unfortunately I went into a diabetic coma, and that's how I found out. Almost died. It was so scary. I also had lost a lot of weight and had all the same symptoms. Just didn't realize soon enough I guess.
If you can please give me some tips on how to take care of my diabetes (more like make it consistent) I would greatly appreciate it!
i was 11 to. i was 5'4 and 60 pounds i looked like a walking toothpick. i would go to the bathroom to much and i was WAY underweight. i went to a back to school thing and they tested me because i had the symptoms and my blood was 659. i was in the hospital for 5 days. it was terrifying. this was on 8/17/12.
only difference being that I was 13 when I was diagnosed
Your story is just like mine
I was diagnosed when I was 10 a month or so from my birthday. I'm 12 now.
It's okay. At least it's over now!
ah! i was 14 when i found out. i also had no idea what diabetes was. my mom took me to the dr because i lost soo much weight.. when i was at the dr she said that its the style now (losing weight and drinking water). my mom made the dr to give me a blood test.. so i did. next morning the dr called my house super early and asked my dad if they could wake me..my mom got on the phone and started asking what he meant if they could wake me up... the dr was mean and said "do you understand that your daughters blood sugar is 956 and she could go into a coma" . my came and she woke me up... when i woke up she said that the have to go to the dr again because they needed to retake my blood...... so i took a shower and got ready.. the car ride there my parents explained to me that we are going to the hospital because i have diabetes i said ok but it will go away... when we finally got to the hospital the dr walked in and said ok listen you have diabetes and this will bring your family together or it will tare it apart! now i thought that this so call diabetes was going to make my parents get a divorces because of me! but thank god for my mom that she noticed something was wrong!!
The girl that was distracting you from the IV was probably a Child Life specialist or a social worker.
This is my first comment on RUclips....been trying for a while :-(>.
I'd have been like, "why don't you sit in a wheelchair." Cool you want to be diabetes educator. I wanted to be a nurse 35 years ago after I'd had diabetes a few years. It would have been a good career. I remember the sadness and overwhelmededness at age 15 coming back from the hospital. Testing urine, keeping an inflexible routine not, low carb. I don't remember hypo symptoms ever. One shot a day. Why did they say I could have a normal life? The "15 things I like about diabetes" video blog was so positive. I like being safe. I like that sporting accomplishments are more impressive. I like that we are the first to be helped by genetic engineering. I like that a cure worth more than a lottery win is possible someday.
No I don't and my BG was really high when they took me to the hospital. It was 1280
I was 4 when I was diagnosed and I am 13 now.When i got diagnosed I was in preschool and I had a lot of the same symptoms like drinking a lot of water and going to the bathroom a lot. I also lost a lot of weight and I was really skinny. One night in December I woke up in the middle of the night and I was sick and I was throwing up. My parents knew something was wrong so my dad took me to the hospital. When we got there we were in a room and they checked my blood sugar and I was over 700 and I was really sick and I was dehydrated. It was like a small hospital so I needed to be taken to a bigger hospital and my dad was going to drive me but the doctor said that I was to sick and I needed to get there quickly so I had to be air lifted by helicopter to a children's hospital. I remember that I was crying because in the helicopter it was really uncomfortable because I was strapped down and they were trying to get an IV started but I had really small arms and they kept having to poke me and at the time I was really scared of needles and shots. When we got to the hospital my dad was already there and they pushed me to a room right away.I was in the intensive Care Unit. When I was in the room they finally got the IV in my arm.I remember that I was trying to fall asleep but there was an alarm and when ever I would move my IV it would go off and the nurse would come in my room.The nurse also came in the room and woke me up to check my BG every hour. I was also really thirsty but they wouldn't let me have anything to drink and they wouldn't let me eat anything. My parents stayed in the room with me but whenever they left I would cry because I didn't want them to leave.I was in the intensive care unit for 2 days and then I was moved to another floor.I remember a lot of people came to visit me and they gave me stuffed animals and stuff. The life flight people that air lifted me visited me in the hospital and they gave me a life flight tee- shirt. It was in December around Christmas so Santa also visited me.We had all these educators that were teaching my parents how to give me shots since I was really young. They were also teaching us what diabetes was. I got a teddy bear that had different colored patches on all the places that you can give shots and it had a little diabetes bracelet on it. I was in the hospital for 5 days. I was on shots until I was 7 and then I got a pump.
Lauren Auxier me tto
i was diagnosed 3 years ago, with the same symptoms
I'm a little over a year in. I was diagnosed at 17.
I was in the hospital for 4 days and I was diagnosed last year in 2018 with ketoacidosis which is Diabetes Type 2 where I have to take insulin and check my blood 4 times a day and now I'm on Metformin which is janumet which has metformin in it my blood is been doing great so I am doing wonderful I go to check my blood one time of day now and I can check it whenever my symptoms where my eyes where blurry my appetite was changing I was thirsty a lot I was about to faint I was breathing Heavenly I couldn't breathe I was gasping for air and I almost died if I would have never texted my mom but I texted my mom and my mom my dad took me to the emergency room and the emergency room admitted me to the hospital my blood sugar was in the 400 I don't know exact number but I know I was in the 400 and my mom was crying and she was scared cuz she didn't know how to shop for a diabetic and my mom she has sugar diabetes which is more different all she has to do is just take Metformin
I was diagnosed this year with type one my sugar was 23.1 (I don't know what it is in the way u say it sorry 😬)

23.1 * 18 = 415.8. They measure it to the first number I would believe. So I guess they would say their sugar is 415
can you do one on pricking your finger
Ive been diabetic for almost ten years, but one problem I still have is over testing! I get paranoid and check a lot more than Im supposed to.
Had to call in a pediatric nurse when I was sent to the ER by my doctor to get my IV, I was extremely dehydrated. They couldn't get a reading of BS on the meter they had, had to go by the lab draw.
i know what you feel i`ve been diagnosed with diabetes type 1 when i was 11 in year 6 remember when after few months later i had my birthday and i needed to take insulin for my birthday day cake but the sad thing was is :( they did not give me a big bit i was diagnosed in december 2010 just before christmas.
When I was diagnosed I was dry heaving! IMy weight was 58! HOLY CRAP! And my blood sugar was 892 JESUS! I spent 4 days in the hospital and yesterday it was 31 A NEW LOW! Man diabetics these day.
you have same story as me how can it be possible?.....
I just got diagnosed at 43 a late age for it but happens. I had a uti but they found sugar in my urine and blood sugar was 298. I went the doctor and they did tests. This confirmed it. I use an insulin pen which isn’t too painful.
My brother has it too.
The finger sticks can hurt if you hit a nerve ouch.
Lot of info to Learn.
I was also 11 when I was diagnosed..but it was like in april!
I was diagnosed a few months ago :c I went into Diabetic Kidoacidosis (not sure if I spelt that right) and I almost died. My sugar was 750.
I've had diabetes 10 years in August. I was diagnosed at 10. Had all the same symptoms. I think i lost about half my body weight before i was diagnosed. I was only 300 when diagnosed though.
yaaaay!!!! i was diagnosed at 11 too!!!
me to. i think that 11 is a very common age to get type 1 diabetes.
yh,now that i think of it like that every person that i see is all nearly diagnosed at 11 wow good thinking
Yeah I was diagnosed at 11 idk it might be something with our bodies at the age
Thank you for being the dedicated, thoughtful, and compassionate doctor that you are, you are more honest than I imagined, thank you so much Dr Igudia RUclips channel for curing my type 2 Diabetes, you are amazing
Haha love your old man voice!!
I cannot relate to how long you were in the hospital because I was there for a week.
Same. Was supposed to stay even longer, until they needed the room for someone else...
complete bullshit. Had literally one 30min session where I was educated on stuff during that whole week.
Should have just done that first, give me a meter and pens and send me home.
But wouldn't have generated as much money of course...
I had training for about three days, including a test.
869 I was 7 and Diagnosed At 15 Months and I'm 13 Right Now It's Hard
I'm sorry.
i was diagnosed at 3 years old.
