    Just wanted to say thank you for all your videos. You do a great job at delivering information without a “know it all” approach, combined with an unbiased point of view with just the right amount of personal preference from your own experience. I have been type 1 for about twenty years and have learned more from your videos in the past couple of weeks than I have previously. I rarely subscribe to any channel, however yours has been a must. I wish you continued health and success, and please keep the videos coming! Much appreciated, Dave.

I genuinely don't ever want people to think I'm 'preaching' - I just want to share my perspective, which I think can sometimes be helpful - even just to see things that go wrong for someone and realizing not to do it yourself - haha! Just thank you so much for your kind words, and for subscribing!! It's such an honor to have you as part of the community here, and also such a compliment to say you've learned from me - I bet I could learn a ton from you - my fellow 20 year t1d buddy!!!

    I have had a very unstable few weeks, highs not knowing why, still don't, but just keep increasing insulin, and fearful for when things change and the hypos come, that are hard to get out of.
    Again thank you for your thoughtfulness to all,

    Thank you for sharing the highs and lows, as sometimes it seems you’re in this on your own when your BGLs are running wild for no apparent reason. I have been running high for 2 days, nothing worked to bring it down, turned out to be a faulty Dexcom G6 sensor, and only found out by ringing the helpline for another reason. It must be tough when you are used to such straight lines on your CGM, I’ve never quite achieved such perfection, but am working hard to correct that situation. Love to know why you moved home and a new home tour please! I keep a plastic crate up in my walk in wardrobe with all of my diabetic consumables in, plus I pack 20 at a time insulin pump site change bags. I like your idea of a grab and go bag. Must add that to my list. I also keep a grab and go hospital or emergency bag after a few disasters with ER’s not trusting my CGM etc... another story.

    Your moving could have technically qualified as a resistance workout. I am T1D and go to a gym to do a mixed routing of weight training and aerobics. The aerobics bring me down, but the weight training brings me climbing upward unless I am careful, the climb can last 6 to 12 hours and then -bang down I go at a rapid rate. Often in the middle of the night! Careful planning, during and right after the activity of a correction bolus if it starts rising at the wrong moments plus strategic snacking with high protein, low carb foods can prevent the overnight low.

    Nice video thanks... I love my libre but I don't need to scan it much as I get automatic readings on my phone every 5 minutes as I'm using Ambrosia's Blucon Nightrider with my Libre to get readings on my phone without scanning. I can connect it with my watch also. Most important is it gives alarm with numbers even without scanning the sensor. It helped me a lot whenever my glucose goes HI/LO.

    Interesting that you had your pump on your arm. It looked so smooth to disconnect too. I would have thought that would be a difficult location with the tubing and all. But it sure didn't look like it just now. Where is your G6? Do you usually keep the pump on your arm? and g6 wherever it is? The new place looks very nice. Thank you for all that you share. It is so encouraging to learn tips and tricks and attitudes to get one through very hard days. Why 2 different infusion lengths? Yes to recipe videos?

    Hi Andrea, hello from Nanaimo! Congratulations to you and David. I'm a T2D and using a freestyle libre, which is a game-changer in terms of my treatment. My issue is that I have highs and lows in a short period of time. I know T1D and T2D are comparing apples and oranges but do you have tips on keeping level blood glucose readings? BTW, I too had a bad reaction with the covid vaccine. It laid me out for several days. Cheers and Best Wishes Steve

      Thank you so much Steve! I'm no doctor, but some things to think about - are you eating fast acting carbs/sugar? That can create a spike. Are you on insulin or just tablets? If insulin take your FSL reading to your doctor and see if they can adjust your rates - actually take these readings to your doctor regardless as they might be able to help! I also find eating a little higher in fat and lower in carbs helps me see more level numbers, just generally. I really hope this helps!

    The last time I moved, my blood sugar kept rising all day. the bank kept delaying the transfer of funds for our mortgage until the very end of the day (friday), we were out of our previous rental house and by the time the completion took place I was sky high with all the stress, none of the moving activity lowered it. I drove over to the new house in a van packed with some of our stuff and then crashed sooo hard. didnt have any low supplies with me as they were in the car with my wife. typical

    Afternoon Andrea. It’s worth having a look at two guys who Mater diabetes, even type 1. I found them and think it’s worth a look. Totally up to you. One guys name is Robby Barbara. Just a thought. It’s a vegan diet though, so might not be your thing. Have a lovely day. 💕

    • @ShesDiabetic
      @ShesDiabetic  Před 3 lety

      Yes! I was on a vegan diet and followed these guys religiously!! I had to stop because I had some pretty serious stomach issues crop up, but initially I felt so good on it and my insulin sensitivity was very good too. Sad I can't tolerate it :(

    very courageous.... during all this activity it is very essential for us to look after the BS also but not possible to do the finger prick in between or do scan the sensor, better we should have such device on sensor which could give sensor's reading automatically to the phone without scanning the senor. I have Nightrider Blucon which gives my sensor's reading on my phone and watch without scanning my sensor so I usually stress free while doing such activity.

    I've been using libre sensor for past 2 years with AMBROSIA'S blucon nightrider to get readings on watch and phone without scanning the sensor. Wether Libre 2 gives alarms but still we have to scan the sensor to get the bg value. with nightrider blucon we even don't to scan the sensro, it give HI/LO alarts without scanning the sensor. It's a complete CGM.

    Your life and the lives of all Type 1's depend upon insulin supplies and support materials. Imagine a world in which those needed infusion sets, hypodermic syringes or even insulin became difficult to get. The pandemic has demonstrated to us all that even everyday items can become in short supply, and yes, you are doing the right thing by maintaining a well stocked base of supplies. This is a protective measure all diabetics need to take. Do it, now!

      Not at all. Thank you so much for caring. She's 9. This has been a nightmare. She got diagnosed 3 weeks after my dad passed away and she was very close to my dad. He was a very present dad and grandpa. So imagine the emotional roller coaster we are in. We are 1 week in dexcom and seeing what her glucose does can be overwhelming. I guess this is a learning process that never ends.
