I discovered a great app that tells you the carbs in almost any food in any restaurant. I can basically eat anything now that I know how much insulin to take
Omg yess Raffi the singer ring ring ring Bananaphone! Lol this was a great video. You really inspire me to be more open about living with T1 diabetes😊
i just wanted to stop by and say hi!! i found ur channel as i am starting to see what else the diabetes world has to offer i have been diabetic since i was 14 and i’m currently 32 been on the same since i started with injections but looking forward to maybe trying the pump and other things to gain better control!! i live in las vegas from hawaii so carbs is such a huge downfall for me but def trying to get back on track before it’s to late!’ ur def a great breath of fresh air and i went thru all the videos can’t wait to see what next mahalo’n
Thanks for introducing yourself, it's nice to meet you :)! I'm glad you like my channel! Good for you for trying to get back on track!!
My hardest food to bonus for is popcorn I always go low and my sister goes high
I know I'm late to this comment but I find this interesting as I don't bolus for popcorn- it actually stabilizes my sugars
Tosha D. Me too
The volume you consume will determine the bolts. It also depends on the variety, sweeter varieties like blue popcorn often require more insulin. Peoples bodies are also different. I
@9:30 For me and I know this is going to sound really bad but my mum has secondary progressive MS and this is where I think my autoimmune T1 diagnosis aged 47 has stemmed from but I feel lucky to have been diagnosed with T1 which I can control with insulin and education as opposed to secondary progressive MS which is not controllable.
Like the personable uncut style of this one :) crazy how similar the challenges we all facing every day are.
Thanks so much Josh! Yes, we are all in this together :)
Great video really loved seeing more of ur personality in this one.
Thank you! Yes, this video was definitely more raw and uncut :). Glad you liked it!
Hi Michelle! I am a pharmacy student in the US, and I was so excited to hear that Fiasp has finally been approved for use in the US. It sucks that it did not work out for you, but I hope that it will be a good option for some of my patients who have issues with blood sugar spikes.
Yes, I think Fiasp will work wonders for some people! It worked well for me, besides the skin issues :(.
How long does being approved typically translate to being available? I'd love to be able to get a script tomorrow, tho I'd probably only need it for the morning. Excellent news though :)
hey i recently started watching your videos and i love them. I am a 16 years old type 1 dibetic and recently i am facing a problem with my patch. Some Of them while inserting gets stick to one side of the wall of the infusion set and does not get inserted properly. Have You ever faced such a problem and if you have do you have any solution for this? Btw Nice video and get well soon Raffi
Hey Jay! Sorry I have never had this problem. I would call your pump company to find out whats going on!
Thank You very much i will call them.

My son was 11 when diagnosed as type 1 diabetic. We live in a small town so my wife took him to a hospital in a nearby city while I stayed at home with the other kids. The next morning in the hospital, my son was having a hard time coping with the news and the realization of challenges he would face. I felt helpless not being there. I wrote “Holding On” to tell him the things I wanted him to know: that he was strong enough to endure and was equal to the task. #T1DStrong
Yes when ever I talk to a type 1 diabetic they are so nice and supportive I talk to them on DMP
Ya I have an omnipod
Thanks for answering my last video´s question! I have a new one now, do you think the Dexcom´s radiaiton combined with using the cellphone as a receiver 24/7 could hurt our health in some way through the years? Have you read anything about that?
as a ph.d student
Good question!! That is exactly in my field.
No, absolutely not. There is no evidence of that wavelength being harmful to us, so no need to worry :)
Great! Thank you!
My question made the cut! Thank you very much. Great video.
Thank you!
pro tip : watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies recently.
@Terrell Braxton yup, I've been using flixzone} for since december myself :D
@Terrell Braxton definitely, I've been using flixzone} for years myself =)
How did you calculate the 40 carbs?
HALIE BERRIE IS MY ROLE MODEL
Great video and thanks for answering my questions 😃 I love those drinks at Starbucks too and my t1 role model is uk prime minister Teresa May and of course nick jonas 😃😃 hope your uni work is going well.
Thank so much! I didn't know Teresa May has T1D :o !!
Hi Michelle, hope you are doing all good. i was diagnosed two month ago and already tired of managing it, i am now depressed and easily get angry and each night when going to bed i am afraid from hypo. How do you deal with negative feelings and if you were newwly diagnosed would you do anything different ?
Hey! I'm sorry to hear you are having a hard time :( ! I would highly suggest talking to other type 1 diabetics. It's really comforting to talk to others and see that you are not alone. I find that helps when I'm having bad days. There is a HUGE T1D community on Instagram. If you look at my account (@miche_lo) and see who I follow, you will find a lot of T1Ds.
If I were newly diagnosed, I don't think I would do anything drastically different, maybe just get involved in more T1D community events.
Thank you.
Great video!!😉 All people with T1D always have a smile on there face.😁😁😁
Aww thank you :) !
Not all people. I have days where I definitely do not always have a smile on my face. Especially on the bad diabetes day.
Hi Michelle I Just got a Dexcom G 5 How long do lrave tour sensor in for.
I try to leave mine in for 3 weeks, but it usually dies before that haha
Thanks
I run low a lottt especially when I’m on less carbs. The worst part is force feeding yourself. I haven’t had those days in a while though
Oh yes, I also hate the force feedings for low blood sugars!
So cool that you are both physicists! :D I'm currently doing a PhD in Astrophysics at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. Physics rocks! ;) Oh, and I'm a Type 1 diabetic of course :D
No way, you are at Niels Bohr?! So cool!! I've never met another T1D PhD physicist before!!
I actually wrote my bachelor thesis with the only other T1D I know. He later dropped out, but he was a physicist for a while :P My husband has a PhD in instrumentation for astrophysics, so he's a physicist too, not a T1D though :P I actually had lectures in quantum mechanics during my Master's in the same lecture hall where Niels Bohr taught back then. That was pretty cool! :D:D His office is preserved exactly as it was:)
I've let diabetes stop me from doing far too many things. Then again, some things, like going on a hiking trip through the mountains, would pose some logistical problems as far as safely storing insulin and keeping my blood sugar test kit temperature safe. But I know I'm just making excuses. Just recently I saw another video by a type one named Jen Grieves, and she did a marathon and a 300k bike ride as well. She's now my idol and a superhero to me. It's amazing what some people with this disease are able to accomplish.
Yes, there are some T1Ds out there doing amazing things! I know some marathon runners, and people biking across America. It's so inspirational! Personally, I wouldn't feel completely comfortable hiking through the mountains for the same reasons as you. However, a lot of T1Ds do it. It all depends on what you are comfortable with :)
It's an accomplishment for me just knowing I made it through a day of having traveled some miles in a car, all the while not forgetting to take the proper snacks, glucose, and insulin. And sometimes I'll even misplace those. So yeah, I understand. I take victories in the small things.
You answered my question ! Thanks (:
No problem at all! Thanks for asking :D
Hi Michelle , i am type 1 for almost 40 years . The biggest improvement for me as a type 1 has been going on the Ketogenic diet. It is a strict diet ,but the rewards are amazing . You will have a controlled blood sugars and your hypo's are not a scary disaster because your brain will use Ketones instead of glucose, and you can think clearly if you ever get low blood sugars. Do some research on it , It is a major lifestyle change! But worth it ! Sorry, you won't be able to eat carbs on this diet, but you will be protecting your health!

Best part, only part, about being diabetic is it has forced me to eat somewhat healthy. No candy or sugar soda or desserts unless treating hypoglycemia. Eating healthy, or not eating unhealthy, is good for you. Worst part is hypoglycemia and becoming unconscious and having a diabetic seizure. Diabetes is costly too, which is very bad. Thousands of dollars per year for supplies and doctor visits and the cost of unforeseen paramedic treatment. And in the USA until the Affordable Care Act, it was impossible, illegal for me to purchase health care insurance due to pre-existing condition of diabetes.
happy children day and world diabetes day
Happy children day and world diabetes day
The formula please.
We have the same bolus rate! Hi from Minnesota!
Haha the 1:10 carb ratio is the best! So easy to do the math :p
Oh man you’re so lucky! It might be because you’re in Canada but the US medtronic customer service SUCKS. The last time I called the girl blamed me and made me cry. 😬
No way!! Aww that sucks so much :(. I guess I've gotten lucky with customer service.
Michelle Lord you are! if I could switch to a different pump company I totally would but my insurance just paid in full for the 630g. 😩😩
Do you ever feel an unquenchable thirst for drinking water?
Andrew Williamson hey man usually you'll get that when you have high blood sugars and if they are uncontrolled and if they are unhealthy high. So if you're drinking water but not feeling like it's quenching your thirst and keep drinking more water it's because of high blood sugar
Yes, only when I have really high blood sugar!
If that happens to a diabetic, are they supposed to quench that thirst or not drink that much water?
Andrew Williamson I'm not a doctor but I'm a t1d, but what's happening is your body is trying to flush out that high sugar (it won't actually flush out the sugar so the thirst won't go away) and drinking water is good but not to much because it will cause low sodium levels etc etc. Basically what you want to do is I'd say work on getting those blood sugars down because if you're encountering thirst, the numbers are very unhealthy. Work on getting the numbers down and don't drink more than the daily recommended amount of water or else you'll flush out nutrients you need. Again not 100% sourced because I'm not a doctor but this is from experience. If you have any more questions about this you should speak to an endocrine who specializes in diabetes.
I don't have the level of thirst anywhere close to how she describes it, I just feel thirsty and I drink a bunch of glasses of water before quenching my thirst for an hour or two. Do I just drink a lot of water or is this a cause for concern?
Would you ever live alone with type 1?
Yes, I would! Especially since I have a continuous glucose monitor :)
I'm getting over a cold
I hope you feel completely better soon :) !
Queen is what you are. You keep wishing for a cure. Really never gonna be one. This kind of remind me of dale tribe: Aspen Dale. My favorite.😄😔😍😘shes only 10. Has diabetes so young.
