The energy required to continually monitor our numbers, count carbs, pre-bolus and correctly dose for meals…it’s…a lot. A LOT! Diabetes takes an exceptional toll on our physical and mental energy, and I’ve definitely been feeling the pressure of this recently. Come along with me as I fight to get my groove back and implement strategies to help support me on this quest!

I have had diabetes for about 48 years now. My 3 month averages are all right, but recently I have had some very high blood sugars and it takes forever to get them back down. It is stressful. I have people I can talk to and that helps, but it still wears me out! Hang in there. You do a much better job regulating your diabetes than I do. I really appreciate your videos. Take care.
My friend who is also TD1 just like me, told me years ago that “diabetic is half human” , and after all those years with diabetes I totally agree with him. But thank you for your valuable videos.
Dear Andrea, every time I see your videos you have this beautiful atitude towards live with diabetes. You’re wonderful and I fell better listening to you. I’m not diabetic, but my son is type 1. He is mentally disabled and will never be able to care for himself and that’s what hurts me the most.
Thank you so very much for these incredibly kind and meaningful words. I'm so sorry to hear that your Son has t1d and is mentally disabled. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you. Please know, I truly believe in the goodness of people, and I wish for you and your son that you have many people enter your lives to help him and you. 💙
Mom of T1D plus ASD…..this is such a cruel combination and we seem to be in a very small and isolating club. I wish I could give you a hug coz I think I get it. I hope you and your son are doing well 🙏🏽
@@DaniBadger777 we’re doing well, thank you. Thanks for the hug and I wish I could hug you too. 🙏🏻
Your RUclips video is wonderful
I'm also a type 1 diabetic for 43 years
I also struggle with not having my mojo in place
Congratulations on your engagement
I've been listening to a lot of motivational speakers to get my head back in the game again
Thank you so much
I'm sure so many people needed this video! I know I did! Diabetes can suck sometimes! Hoping you get back to where you need to be ❤
You’re right! Sometimes it can just downright suck! Amen to getting things back on track! I’m already feeling better since making this video!! You guys help keep me on track and staying as positive as possible!!!! 🤩 wishing you a wonderful week ahead my friend!!
I've been really out of my diabetes recently hope I can get back into it too😭😭
I’m right there with you!!! You’ve got this my friend! Don’t worry!! 💙 we’ll get through this together!!
Trying to stay motivated after 57 years wrestling this monkeyTD1 can be very challenging. Thank you for your encouraging video🌺
Joni! I can only imagine!! You are clearly absolutely amazing and that’s all I can say!!! Thank you so much for watching! I’d love to hear the tips you have for wrestling the monkey all these years!!!
WOW.......YOU HAD THIS FOR A LONG TIME, IF I MAY ASK, WHAT KIND IF INSULINE WERE YOU ON?
@Engelbert Humperdinck TALKING TO ME????
Very informative, I’m also going to use this opportunity to recommend Dr IGUDIA on RUclips who cured my type 2 Diabetes with his natural herbs medication
I’ve been Type 1 Diabetic for over 20 years. I find it gets harder to balance it all as you get older and have family responsibilities, more responsibility at work etc… but so important to find a way to get back into a routine, improve diet and exercise between all the chaos. Not easy to do but has to be done to feel human again. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Thank you for what you’re doing. I’ve been type 1 diabetic for 30-years and you bring up things I can completely relate to but sort of thought I was the only one who thought about them. You’ve also offered some tips that never occurred to me. So, thank you!
Oh thank YOU so much Martin!! For watching and for sharing these kind words!! It’s such an honor to have you here! 30 years is awesome!!!!! Your are awesome!!!
I’m not a diabetic but I have family members that have diabetes. I REALLY LOVE your channel. Just subscribed. I’m learning a lot from your channel. Thank you!!
Thank you so, so much for this channel! I'm a complete newbie at T1D. I got diagnosed only a few months ago and especially because of all the lockdowns it has been pretty lonely. Because of your channel I have learned SO, SO much, and you have really helped me accept my own situation and feel less alone. Thank you!!! I can't say it enough!
Just came out of the hospital, (dka) it's such a struggle to manage 😫 I now know that I'm not alone. Thank you!!
I'm just a few months out from that same scenario. It's a bit overwhelming at first but it gets to be routine pretty quick. A pain in the ass, but routine.
Andrea is right about pre-bolusing. Helps a lot.
Edit: If you can get your hands on a Dexcom or another CGM i can't recommend it highly enough.
Thank you for keeping it real.
When I feel off I begin with making a list of things I’m grateful for.
Such an awesome practice - good for you for leaning into this gratitude! Thank you for being here! I'm grateful for YOU!
Thanks so much for sharing your feelings I also have those days that I just feel low. Babysitting my grandchildren helps me a lot. There are days that I hate doing diabetic things. Knowing my kids are relying on me gets me up and moving. T1D 59 years. Sorry to hear you have those types of days but I'm glad to know I'm not alone.
Oh Joanne - you are so welcome!! And I love that babysitting your grandchildren is such a wonderful escape and relief - wow that is BEAUTIFUL!!! You know the ups and downs in such detail - 59 years is an incredible amount of time - I would absolutely love to interview you one of these days because you have the years, experience and clearly a beautiful attitude that we could all learn from here! Thank YOU for reminding me and all of us here that we are not alone as well 💙
I've been a slump myself. Trying to figure out all of this to stay healthy. Glad to see you back and I like your hair. I'm in Texas and the heat is not good right now, I think that also attributes to my slump
I’m so sorry to hear you are also in a slump!! These are tough times, everything feels up in the air - and I think the heat is a contributor to this uncertainty and unrest for sure - I am right there with you!! You are not alone and I hope the tide turns for both of us ASAP!! Sending you strength and joy my friend!! 💙
I’ve noticed a couple of years ago when I actually started taking my health seriously that I have cycles and periods where my mental state just is not cohesive with my motivation to care for myself. The thing that really helped me was keeping track of when these periods happen and how long they last. After I did that I was then more prepared to be ready for those times and act accordingly. Just with everything else that comes with diabetes it isn’t easy but it really helps if you can do it.
I’m 1 year into T1 and I started on the tubeless system Omnipod. Having no tube is amazing and I highly recommend it.
I can’t believe you posted this. I have been in a real slump for about the last month and am struggling to get out of it. My stomach has been really complaining. I started two days ago doing more carb counting, cooking decent food and having more regular meals. this video could not have been more timely!! PS love the new haircut! Really suits you!
I’ve ignored my diabetes health for years and needed to learn everything again. It’s tough sometimes I know what you go through with that. I’ve been diagnosed when I was 4 in 1991 and when I was 7 I got an insulin pump….
I hear you. Completely and utterly. Plus being diagnosed at such a young age is very difficult. Please know you are not alone, and you have my support and camaraderie my friend!!
I've had a few medical procedures recently and every time my blood sugar skyrockets. I'm such a stress baby. I get losing your groove. One thing an acupuncturist said to me is that when I'm rage craving sweets it's because my brain is craving more sweetness. During stress and low time that is 100% accurate. Be kind to yourself.
I’m so sorry to hear of your skyrocketing blood sugars as well! I’m right there with you- a stress baby indeed, me too!! That’s so interesting what your Accupuncturist said- I wonder if they advised you what to do? Did they say your brain is craving sweetness in an emotional sense? So interesting!! Be kind to yourself too and wishing you a wonderful week ahead!!
Hi, Andrea, I’m Andrea too! Thank you for sharing where you’re at. I appreciate you!
You are so very welcome!!! Thank you for watching! ❤️
Good for you for entering therapy! And your haircut is very flattering. I am always grateful for how you share your journey, Andera - especially your humanity!
Thank you so so much Anne!!!!! For all of the above!!!! 😍 As always, I’m grateful to YOU for being here and being so encouraging - you’re just THE BEST!! 💙💙💙
Currently with work from home because of covid19 I really need every day a walk or a trip with the bycicle after work. Others it is from your bed after a computer and from a computer back in bed. Just back from a camping trip in the mountains with a lot of walking at high altitude. Very refreshing for me and also to get my diabetes beter regulated and losing weight. So that is realy the thing for me to get the tinghs back in line!
You are so great at dealing with your T1D! I like your videos so much! They give me inspiration, which is so important for me right now because recently I have had something kinda burnout too, after months of strict self-discipline (I've got my medtronic 640G this spring and was trying to count everything very thoroughly which turned out to be harder than it seemed to me)
And about your food prep, this was a good decision to do)) My husband and I just a week ago have decided to do something similar, prepare our food and count carbs in it up-front)
It was His idea, we even bought special containers with separate sections for different types of food to store) Now, I know how much I need to prebolus (I also use this way to prevent highs after meal) every time I want to eat and even have the ability to do this when I'm 5-10 min away from home, but already starving :D
WOW - I LOVE what you and your husband have done here - this is INCREDIBLE!!!!! I just may have to steal this idea myself!!!! I hear you about the burnout and overwhelm - especially when starting on a pump and when you really feel that carb counting pressure - it’s so different to the pressure of multiple daily injections, isn’t it? Like, ultimately it’s great but also…PRESSURE!! Let me know how your carb counting meal prep goes- I am SO interested to know! I’d even love to know what kind of meals you’ve prepped! I want YOU to make a RUclips video please!!!! 😆
My sugars been off the roof trying my hardest to control my diabetes! I hope your sugars go down
All carb, no fat plant based. I feel terrific.
I was on this for a while but developed stomach problems which meant I could no longer continue to eat like this and maintain my weight so I started eating meat again…but when I was eating LCPB at the beginning it was the best I’ve ever felt.
Hi Andrea - I’m sorry to hear you’ve not been feeling yourself. I often find meditation to be really helpful. There’s some good apps, like headspace :)
Oh! Yes!! That’s such an excellent suggestion!! I’ve used the calm app in the past but have definitely let that habit slip- thank you for reminding me! I gotta get back on it!! Thank you!! 🙏🏻
@@ShesDiabetic Do you still run your gratitude diary?
@@Atasych I do! But I’m not as consistent with it I must say!! 😬
@@ShesDiabetic Focusing on gratitude could be the key, as we can be upset only when we are judgemental but not accepting, and we can be judgemental only when we are not grateful for being here and having so much today. We were brought up in and traumatized by more or less judgemental/narcissistic cultures and are more focused on our to-do lists than on gratitude and love. I am older but still working on it. GL!
I have a question; but first here's the backstory. A few family members came over for a visit last Sunday and my levels kept going up (334 was the highest). I know these elevated levels were due to the stress of having my family over (I was acting like a tour guide). Anyway, after they left and I got home, I took a shower and watched a movie to relax. My levels lowered but kept lowering - to 58!. Such drastic levels were havoc on my body. I felt so tired for 2 whole days. How do you deal with extreme stress? 😕
Oh my goodness Cat!! I feel seen through your comment here! I’ve had this happen so so SO many times!!! What I’ve found is that in these times of stress I’m less conscientious of my own health (not pre bolusing, snacking without blousing, quickly blousing and then moving on and putting others needs before mine, just to name a few!) firstly, I think this is A OK! You’ve got to live your life and attend to more than your diabetes! Secondly, and more kind on a practical note, I try to eat a little lower carb in these instances so I take the percentage chance of a spike to a lower level. I also try to remember to hydrate as best as possible, and keep moving if possible too. I also try to resist the urge to rage bolus when things go high…but I don’t always succeed😜 All this is so so so much easier said than done. But those are a few of my tips. And at the end of the day- remember it’s okay if things aren’t perfect- I hope you had a wonderful time with your family as that’s such an important piece to our emotional well-being. I hope this gives you a little food for thought (no insulin required!!!!) big love to you and remember take some time to yourself to recover as that’s super important too!! 💙💙💙
@@ShesDiabetic Thank you for your suggestions! 😻 I'll keep them in mind when it happens again (usually during the holidays). lol I wonder if I can ask my doctor for a tranquilizer? Kidding! 😸 Stay well and cheers. 💕
@@catbutte4770 of course!! 💙 And yes!! The tranquilizer is always an excellent option!! 🤣 i’m right there with you- the holidays are tricky for me too!! Especially with all that delicious food flying about!! 😳😆💙
Appreciate David for waiting all that time to let you finish your video before eating 😅❤️
Really good video, enjoyed watching 😍
Haha- great point!! Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching!!! Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!!!
Hello Andrea, Although I do not have words befitting of my gratitude to you as you share your courage and your vulnerability with us, I hope that saying 'Thank you so very deeply' will be enough. I adore listening to you. I was diagnosed a month ago at 30 years old, and although it is undoubtedly a complicated, sometimes distressing, path to travel, I somehow feel curious and ready to meet it. Your channel plays a great role in that! I have learned so much from your experience and your openness; enough to ask myself questions, to own and choose my experience, which has only made me feel like I have arrived home to the T1D community. Wishing you all the mischief life has to offer! Char
Char Char Char!!!! COULD YOU BE MORE WONDERFUL AND KIND?? I THINK NOT! Wow - what a comment to receive. I have no words. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this out and share this with me. I am so so very sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis. I think being diagnosed at any time is difficult - but in the midst of this COVID chaos - I can only imagine. Your words about being curious to meet it, and even your gratitude here shows me a person who is going to be MORE THAN FINE - you’re going to THRIVE MY FREIND! Gratitude, curiosity, striving and recognizing individuality - these are the makings of a wonderful human and a balanced live with t1d! Please know you are not alone - you never will be! This community and I are here for you - we all help each other, lean on one another and find joy and laughter in the chaos. You are so so welcome, and I just can’t thank you enough for all your kindness. May you always know how much your words have meant to me and how special you are my friend!!!! Wishing you joy and mischief (gosh I love that) too!!!! 💙
Oh my goodness! I have received a message from a luminous rockstar! I have a story that you and others may like to hear if you're feeling off centre. (You have so many messages to read so please don't worry about responding! It feels wonderful to write this, seen or unseen)
A couple of weeks before I went to a hospital here in Ireland, my acting coach asked me to work on the play 'Angels in America', which starred the great Nathan Lane. My acting coach also asked me to think about a musical song to explore and so, I started listening to many many. I was so warmed to hear Hakuna Matata for the first time in a while, performed by Nathan Lane; who also played Timon in the original film.. As my dear mother was driving me to A&E, I said ' Hakuna Matata mum'. She asked me what it means and I laughed as I described it , despite the uncertainty of what was to come. 'No worries'. Because of Covid, all patients have to enter alone. And so, I sat in the waiting room with 'Angels in America' in my hands (I was naïve as I couldn't read, but hopeful nonetheless). The first nurse I met said he would have to take my bloods instantly. I noticed a gorgeous little tattoo on his wrist. 'Your tattoo is so cool' To my astonishment he said 'It's the Hakuna Matata symbol' and smiled. If I wasn't so tired, I would have bounced off the walls! As I entered recess and witnessed so much pain and suffering, I knew, in fact I instinctively felt that I would be absolutely fine. Now I seek the good and the 'what if there is another way', in spite of the warnings that our times are throwing at us both individually and globally. When I returned home, I finally began to read the play. Again, to my utter amazement, it ends with Prior speaking to us, his audience, with these words: 'The Great Work Begins'. I think I would be silly not to find hope and charm in all of this...
And so, I hope our paths cross one day but for now, take deep care of yourself and Gather Gather as much as You give Andrea! I really do love all the tips and tricks which have propelled me lightyears ahead with my own diabetic needs.
ME 2 the last 1-2 months my diabetes not the best but hope I can go back into it too❤️😩
You’ve got this my friend. It’s totally and utterly okay to have days, weeks, and months where you struggle!!! Please please please know you are absolutely not alone and we’ve got this my friend! We’re gonna get back to feeling our best - let’s do this!!!! 💙
I am doing pretty well with my diabetes. I am a type 1 also. Have a pump and dexcom and so grateful for both. They keep me alive everyday. 😊
My son has had lots of trouble with sensors not reading. He is muscular so I don't know if that plays a part in not having much "fat" to wear it in. He has it on the arm as you do. You don't have any "fat" either. Any issues in readings? And what kind of watch do you wear to connect with your pump? Enjoyed the video. Sure wish my son had numbers like yours. His will go well a few weeks and then it flips and he needs a total of 20 units (occasionally more even) to get his bg to budge. This last cycle of that lasted 2 weeks and then it gradually starts to switch back--for awhile. Thank you for the video.
I totally understand diabetes sometimes is complicated!im new at pump insulin and im trying to do it well ..but some days its very hard loving your video came right on time
Thank you so much Maria - and congratulations on your new pump - although I can totally understand the overwhelm of this!!! Please know you are not alone - many people are saying the video has met them at a time of overwhelm themselves so maybe there’s something in the air - or maybe just…the betes 🤪 - just know you are not alone and we’re going to get through this!!!
Hi Andrea,
Thank you for sharing, and you are so not alone. As you said so good to focus on helping others when feeling down. (wondering if this is around the time or leading up to losing your precious Dad, these feelings at anniversaries can sneak up on you . I lost my Dad when I was young as well.
It's was great to see you being able to have time with David, and have a laugh.
That dinner looked yummy.
You and David take care, praying for you both, God Bless,
Sharron and Rex
Thank you as ever and always Rex, for your very kind and supportive comments. Actually this was around the 1 year anniversary of my Dad’s passing and yep…it totally knocked me. I wasn’t expecting it in some ways and in other ways I was bracing myself for it too. I’m so sorry to hear you lost your Dad when you were young too. This is just so so tough. I pray that you have wonderful memories and find him within the person that you are. He must have been extraordinarily kind to have raised someone as caring and supportive as you. Once again I really thank you so so so much, you’re just the best and I’m sending you and Sharron my best, and God’s Blessings as well!! 🥰💙
I know what you mean about feeling good when you’re kind. Even though I’m type 1, I feel so good when I donate blood every 3 months.
Oh I LOVE that!! That's such a wonderful routine to have built into your life!! I'm going to look into this myself- you've inspired me - thank you!!!
I love seeing your videos!
I'm so glad and so grateful to you for being here!!
Your new hair cut looks fantastic and as always great content
Thank you so much Aaron!!! 😊
This is the video I've been looking for! I've been in a rut for months now and it's impossible for me to take care if my diabetes which has made my depression worse.... thank you for sharing!
I am so so sorry to hear this Kara- and I feel you so distinctly. It’s hard enough to get out of a rut, let alone to bring yourself AND your diabetes out of a rut!! So so so hard!!! Please know that you are so so so not alone and I’m cheering you on to get through this! These tough days will pass and brighter ones are to come- I promise you this!!! 💙💙💙
@@ShesDiabetic thank you so much!! Defiantly needed that push in the right direction. I hope so too it's been rough for me
The past 6 months my BS and a1c has been running high. I had a visit with my diabetes educator and she adjusted my insulin and I’m doing much better. My husband has been working out of town so I’m having a hard time with meals since it’s just myself. Add some depression into the mix😕.
Just started following you. I need to get my diabetes back under control. What's the food app you use please? Thank you for sharing all your experiences.xx
You are so welcome, and I hear you!!! I use the Carbs & Cals app for carb counting, and the Dexcom G6 app on my phone (which you may be referring to seeing in this video). I made a video about the C&C app last week - will link it below!! Sending you joy and strength in getting things back on track - you've got this!!!! 🙏🏻
ruclips.net/video/-dq5xs2sD9E/видео.html
I am suffering from burnout right now and it seems like I just can't get myself to get back to what I am suppose to be doing. Like checking my blood sugar, taking my insulin, or taking my pills.
I am so so sorry to hear this, and I completely know what you mean and can empathize with you, truly I can. Please know you are not alone and please don’t be afraid to ask and reach out for help. Truly, people are here for you, I promise, and this feeling of intensity will pass. Breathe, one step at a time, you’ve got this, I promise 💙
I think I’m experiencing some insulin resistance too! I notice that it’s taking longer than 15 minutes for my insulin to kick in. Then this morning, it took the regular 15 minutes and I went low! I’m gonna see if it’s just Admelog or it is resistance. Are you tracking it to show your endo?
I hear you on the erratic nature of numbers recently!! HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR!! I’ve got all my Dexcom data to show my Endo and will go over this with them next time I have my appointment. To be honest though - I still need to get better at remembering to pre bolus! GOLLY! I hope you’re able to find out the root cause of yours!! Keep us updated!!!
Hi Andrea, really liked the video. Just a thought in people without diabetes blood glucose is variable it goes up and down as it should, I wonder looking at some of your videos that you are trying to keep the levels too narrow and stressing about it. I have had TD1 for about 50 years, gave up counting at 40, my goal is to keep the level below 11mg/l, my average is 7.3 and the Hb1Ac 6.2 at present, I don't prebolus because I know the glucose will go up as it does in all people and I know the pump will bring it back down in an hour or two.
That's so interesting, John. I've always wonder about blood glucose in a person without T1D, and how it works. My oldest daughter is a T1D, is eleven years old, and growing up and up, as she should. She has this crazy highs sometimes and I wonder "may be this is ok to happen, may be her body needs that glucose level to reach the next inch?"
Hi Andrea,
I hope everything goes well for both of you.
Donating your hair is a very thoughtful move. Also, your new hairstyle is beautiful...
I love that you made a special meal for him :P He looks so motivated. :XDD
Thank you so much Kemal!!! Thank you thank you!!! David is indeed very lucky to have me chefing it up for us 😂 - wishing you a wonderful week ahead!!
@@ShesDiabetic David is definitely a lucky man. He should thank you for healthy foods. 😂
It's so nice to see you together. You both are great. I wish you healthy and happy days. Thanks.
I’m new to this-type 2; it is very challenging! What is pre-bolusing (hope I spelled it correctly)?
Welcome!! I'm so sorry for your recent diagnosis but please know you are welcome here and this is a safe and inclusive space for all no matter where you're at in your journey!! 💙💙💙
Here's a video I made all about pre-bolusig (you totally spelled it right!) - I hope you find this very useful!!!
ruclips.net/video/yHpnOL5qyHk/видео.html
Hey my fake smile in the video was top notch!! 😅😎❤
Nice video - it’s helpful to see the lows as well as the highs, you’re such a great inspiration.
Wondering if you’ve tried Ozempic, i was prescribed it earlier this year and it works wonders for keeping the blood sugars in range, but it makes me feel nauseous a lot of the time and i think i’m going. to have to stop it. Would love to hear your experiences if you have.
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!! I've never tried Ozempric (though I have seen commercials for it!) but I'm so sorry to hear that you've been so nauseous on it - that's no good at all! I sincerely hope you're able to find something that makes you feel good in ALL ways!! ❤️❤️❤️
Please could you share some CBT tips & tricks you got from your sessions. It will help so much.
That’s such a great idea! I will try my best to pop them into video and comments! Right now we’re working on a though record where you identify a triggering situation, your negative thoughts, how they manifest in you (physically or emotionally) and then how you’re working to challenge and change those thoughts into positive ones! It’s very interesting!!
I feeling it too especially pandemic just not helping at all. Hugs 🤗 all of you
I hear you my friend 💓❤️ We’re going to get through this! 🤗
We're Not ill,Our Pancreas is Just Lazy... 😂
Exactly!!! 😂😂😂
@@ShesDiabetic 😀
Hey, how come you are in the UK but not using mmols? Is dexcom just set to that?
I grew up in the US so am more used to that unit of measurement, so I did a little downloading from the US App Store so my readings would be in the US style :)
@@ShesDiabetic ohhhh I see, that makes sense! I thought you were Canadian tbh! It's nice that you're from the UK aswell so I can follow your advice even more! Thanks for your videos! They're always fantastic and helpful xx
Friends, do you ever have such a thing that in a calm state at home you have good sugar on pump therapy, but it's worth going outside, taking a walk, going to the store or to work and sugar drops sharply in traffic?And how do you deal with it?
I just saw your video of what you eat in a day, and saw that 100 reading going down, now what is the lowest reading thst you have taken thst you are still standing on your own two feet, and it does get better, Type 1 since I was 9 and now I am 44, but trying to get back to it because ai have been out of controll for sometime now :D Oh and i LOVE your fridge, sooooo roomy and nice .
OH thank you so much for sharing this with me - and making me feel less alone!! And obviously you’ve lived with the condition for a long time - so you know what’s up!!!! I’m sure you’re doing your best and I wish you only great things and positivity as you try to turn the tide for yourself - you’ve got this!! You can do this!!! Wishing you joy - and a roomy fridge to boot my beautiful friend!!!! 💓
Iam seeing it while eating dinner
My blood sugar level today before breakfast 235 which was really sad in the start of the day that gave me so interest to be more organized and then blew up to 354 🌞i took 2 units insulin and drank some water and here is it 219 i wish i be more organized but to be true this vid came in da perfect time
Oh my goodness- truly I feel you!! Sometimes we just have those days…or weeks…or more 😓 please please please know you are not alone and I’m so glad the timing of this video is so good for you!! This makes me happy! We’ve got this! One step at a time! Let’s have a great week ahead my friend!!
@@ShesDiabetic ohhhh ty!!❤️

Friends, in the modern world of innovations, there should be no disappointment from diabetes.In fact, this condition makes you be healthy, limit yourself, but limiting yourself means that you are always under the supervision of a doctor, you have good blood cholesterol and there are no complications in the form of increased creatinine, urea in the blood, your eyes, kidneys are healthy, and this is the most important thing.
How about a huge shout out to your guy for all his support to you; God bless again!
YES!!! A HUGE SHOUT OUT INDEED!! David’s THE BEST (in my humble opinion!) 😍
I might have mis-heard you..but did you say you in-clipped your pump, I.e. disconnected from it before your exercise?
Precisely - I took the pump off completely (unclipped) and then clipped back in for the second half of class. I don’t know why exactly but I find a hard unclip rather than suspending insulin helps stave off low BG - might just be a mental thing - but that’s what I do :)
Yeah , feel the same , its monotonous routine , fewer outings and meetings. How often should type 1 check their sugars when not on a cgm? The prick business I dont like much.
I hear you! It's...a LOT! In terms of finger pricks, I was doing 10-15 a day. That's just me personally, we all have to find what our comfort level is, I just always wanted to know what my BG was upon waking, before and after meals, and many times in between. It helped give me a tighter control and sense of safety, but again - we all have different preferences! I hope you find what works best for you! If you don't like finger pricking (totally understandable!) I think a CGM would be PERFECT for you!
Yes, I am back from tomorrow ☺️
Nice!!! 👏🏻 have a great week!! You’ve got this!!
Can u make a video about getting a job with type 1 diabetes I’m just now trying to figure out what i want to do and diabetes makes me a little insecure for multiple reasons
It's nice to see that even our Celebrity Diabetics have frustrating days or stretches of days when the betes is just being a pain.
Haha - well I don’t know about celebrity - but I certainly CERTAINLY have my frustrating and overwhelming stretched that is ABSOLUTELY FOR SURE!!!
I’m not diabetic but I’m a mom to a wonderful little guy with not just type 1, but also ASD. Only three months in into the T1 diagnosis and im already exhausted. How do you convince a three year old with autism to drink juice or he can die….you know? I hate this disease with a passion and the dual diagnosis is very isolating
I love your hair Andrea!
And despite you not feeling yourself lately, you are still beautiful and vivacious if I may say so (ps. my wife thinks I have a crush on you, and she may be right:))
Lucky she thinks you’re amazing too;)
Thank you for posting this, and don’t worry, as you know we all go through these hard times occasionally.
I’ve been a T1D for 35 years and lately my sugars have been way too high because of a food addiction I’ve been struggling with for much of my life, so insulin resistant is currently at play.
But it’s always a joy to listen to you as you often get me back on track with your positive can do attitude.
So thank you for being you, and I really hope you feel back on top of things soon:)
Un-diabetes related: I love the bee tea mug, where can I get one?
You absolutely look adorable in your short hair.
Andrea, one thing I find helpful is reading biographies of those who overcame great adversity not in a perfect or linear way, but real life. The best written biography reveals personal struggle and the very human frailties of doubt and failure, learning from failure, no matter how many times we meet it.
I enjoy actually reading as opposed to always listening to audiobooks as it seems like I feel coming off the pages, that common humanity and hopefulness and determination that is threaded throughout all our lives despite hardship and setbacks. I always feel uplifted and part of a greater world outside myself.
Thank you so very much!!! I read your comment about 3 days ago and it’s been rattling around in my head ever since - thank you for sharing this suggestion with me, genuinely it’s really intrigued me to think more and seek out other’s experiences of overcoming adversity - and even recognizing it in those that are close to me. I just think what you’ve written here is a bit of magic and your outlook speaks volumes to how your mind words and your embracing of the humanity and oneness of life - how inspiring!!! Just…THANK YOU!!!! You inspire me!!!
I'd kill for 157 postprandials. I can prebolus Fiasp 30 minutes and have a high from not particularly starchy meals anyway.
I hear you! I take 157 with pride actually!! Please know this! Gah it’s all so tricky and sometimes I’m absolutely skyrocketing so please please please don’t think this is always the case for me either! You are absolutely not alone!!!
@@ShesDiabetic I love and also hate to hear that 😂 of course I don't always have shitty BGs. thanks and be well
@Engelbert Humperdinck the latter. I don't see ANY difference between Fiasp and Novolog. Which is also what absolutely every review says. It's a scam.
Not the only one- Ever since covid we've been eating at home... not only is my diabetes hit or miss from time to time, but the cholesterol isn't so hot either, hah.
Take good care . .. . .. Orlando out, off for cardio version Tue. 🔌🧰 🏥.
Thank you Rob!! Good luck with your appointment!!!! You’ve got this!!!! 💙

Hi Andrea, check dr Bernstein videos on RUclips he’s 83 years old dr and type 1 diabetic since he was a child he’s doing very well and advocating for keto and low carb diet, have a look please.
Will do - thank you for sharing this with me and all of us here!
Does anybody else miss homeland as much as me?
Right there with you Arthur!!!!!!!!!
I just need to know this....but have you ever dealt with people that were very disrespectful and disregarding toward you and your diabetes? I have....a lot. Maybe it's just the state Tennessee have been living in...but believe this or not...I have been in a relationship with a man who has disregarded me several times and still continues to do so. Plus all other people I have been around down here have done the same. Saying ooh you have Diabetes, big woop. Everyone has trouble and claim they have way more. And saying things like ooh all you need to do in a day is exercise....Ooh...acting as if everything I go through as a type 1 is little to nothing. though I know from knowing these people not even one of them could even attempt or be able to make it through even one of the workouts I do. But just wondering if anybody else experiences this? Because it sucks and I hate them.for it and just need to move away and get away from here as quick as I can, I think. I've taken about enough. Guess this is what happens when you waste your time helping others out and empathize get over them too much and not yourself. Forget that I'm done with that. But everyone will do little to nothing j ng to help l me and think I have to devote all my time to them, beyond frustrated. Wish I never would have came here, to be honest. I've had enough trauma in my entire life to put up with any more. Should have been retired from all traumatic experiences by now.
Not all of us Tennesseans are heartless jerks... I myself have T2 diabetes (and live in TN), and while I can't say I understand what you're going through, what I will say is that you deserve to feel good about yourself and your diabetes. Whomever you decide to date should respect you for who you are.
Thank you!

Hi preciosa!
Please allow yourself feeling off now and then, it's all right.
Sports, music, meditation...all that may work, but for me, beyond all those things, meeting friends (2 or 3) and making a little evening plan works the best! (Go for a walk, have dinner, aet gallery). Any excuse is fine to spend some time Witherspoon People that make you laugh. Lots of sense of humor an socializing is key for me!
PD. Your hair, tré chic!
OH George!! I feel you!!! Please please please know I’m very grateful for your being here and for all your kind words! You have been through SO much…please also take very good care of yourself and show yourself the kindness that you so freely give to me!! And worry not - hair is in the mail!! 😜 Wishing you a wonderful, positive and light filled week ahead as you have so generously given to me!!!! 💡
Thank you so much Kakun!!! I think all those are fabulous suggestions and just what the doctor ordered!! Since making this video I’ve been trying to do more of this (though can always do MORE!) and am feeling like I’m turning the corner - slowly but surely!! Thank you for helping me on this quest and encouraging me too!!! Have a GREAT week - and laugh lots!!!
