I'm actually grateful that you didn't wait for a "good diabetes" day. You are soooo helping others who might be having a hard time with their own diabetes.
Not only the people with diabetes, but also their family and extended family
I feel so much repect for you right now. You're a very bubbly person who is always positive, happy and jolly in the videos giving the best of you we may easily forget how complicated it may be to adapt to diabetes and the struggles it brings to have it all under control.
I was just diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic in March and you have been so helpful in my t1d journey and allow me to have grace with my self and not get too over my head with t1d.
As someone whoâs been a type one diabetic for the majority of my life, Devin, you are genuinely doing great for someone who was diagnosed so late in life. Youâre doing whatâs best for you and your health, and thatâs all that matters. Sending good vibes your wayđ«¶
Yâall are just the sweetest couple. The love of God shines through yâallâs marriage. Love watching your videos. You guys are a true inspiration! I just wanna be friends cause yâall are so down to earth. God bless you guys â€
Devin and Hunter, yâall are SO fun to watch. And I canât tell you enough how much more joy and fun is in yâallâs videos because you love Jesus. Itâs evident in the way you love each other, your daughter, and those around you. Keep shining your light! We appreciate you all the way from Texas! p.s. I went to Samford and my college roomie was from Dothan and I never got around to try boiled peanuts and I think I just HAVE to next time Iâm over there! đ
Giiirrrrl...that a1c is a big improvement. My husband is type 2, bc of myotonic dystrophy. He really echoes to me so much of what you are saying about management and maximizing health and temptations. It's a lot. That a1c shows how hard you are working on it!
DevinâŠomg thank you for sharing! Iâm in tears and have been. My (just turned) 3 year old daughter was just diagnosed. Figuring out the insulin, the dexcom always going off, the educational piece- preschool (who will administer insulin), the constant fear and sad/upset we get when having to make her wait to eat and not being able to have watermelon when everyone else isâŠitâs so hard!! You are a warrior!! Please any and all advice welcomed!! Xoxo
Isnât that different. This is a long time ago but when I was first diagnosed with T1D at 9yrs old I was aloud watermelon and I was surprised at how much, but I guess thatâs because I was outside running around and riding my bike. Even though watermelon is low on carbs itâs higher in sugars. My son became a T1D at age 5 and looking after his diabetes was so different than when my mom looked after mine as a kid.
As a treat Iâd allow my son to have a piece of cake because I knew what it was like not to have a thin slice of cake. I would just give him a couple of units to offset. I didnât do this too often, but it made him feel included.
Now that 5yr old boy is a 32yr old man thatâs on a pump and manages his sugars in a great way. Saying no while others are getting is such a hard thing to do, but then itâs up to you to maybe give her a very thin piece of watermelon or none at all. đ€·ââïž To a 3yr old would it matter? I donât know, itâs hard to say.
Itâs all so confusing at first but youâll the hang of it as time goes on.đ€đ„°đ©·
@@SnowPink90 thank you so much, I needed this!! â€ïžâ€ïž
Hey there - t1 here since i was 3 and I'm also a registered dietitian....Please find a new endocrine team - they should not be having you just figure out the insulin yourself on such a young child and no food should be off limits with proper coverage - also we teach to always have the child eat FIRST then take the bolus of insulin just in case they don't eat as much as expected, and then you gave too much insulin. You are doing amazingly, find a team that will give you nothing but support - sending so much love â€
Devin, You are helping so many people with your diabetes info. Please continue this series.
Love you, Hunter & of course Lil Ivy Girlâ€
Love you and praying for you through this!
I feel so passionate and strongly about diabetes and I don't even have it. I watched my dad struggle for so long with diabetes and not really take care of it and it was so scary and heartbreaking. Good luck on your health journey girl, you got this â€â€
I love seeing these kind of videos helps me with my husband that is tyoe 1 also and he is just now getting on the dexcom and omnipod finally after 2 years of being diagnosed with type 2 and then shortly after type 1! Its been hard rollercoaster! But so helpful to see how you manage it all and to know he isnt the only one with struggles with highs and then all of a sudden it drops low! Crazy! But love y'all! đ
I love watching your videos. Great people! Love from Minnesota!
Thanks for sharing! I am td1 for 5yrs now and I've had good a1cs and bad a1cs and it's just nice to see that other people have those days where blood sugar just doesn't want to cooperate. Would love to see more diabetic focused videos from you!
Yay! We are diabetic omnipod/ dex sisters xoxo....I've been diabetic since I was 3 yrs old, so I completely understand everything you are going through!! You are doing amazing - t1 is so hard....don't be so hard on yourself just do your best!! Love you girlie â€â€â€â€
My daughter is a T1 as well. She was DXd at 8 years old. She had a pump years ago but went off it for years. She recently got a T Slim and a CGM. Sheâs getting serious about her health because she wants to have a baby! Her A1C went from over 12 to 6.2â€â€â€
Thank you for doing this! It makes me feel less alone. I was diagnosed back in august of last year so Iâm still very new
I have been type 2. Requiring medication for 30 years. Drugs pushing my pancreas that long have somewhat burned it out. Now I am dependent on fast insulin at meals and slower insulin to regulate blood sugar through the night.
Hang in there. My last A1c check was 5.3 đ
Oh wow thatâs great!! I can only wish mine were that low. Iâve been a T1D for 52yrs and Iâve never been that low in my A1Câs, even when my mom looked after my diabetes closely. My body is comfortable at 6-7. Under 6 I get very nauseous. Iâve had 20 surgeries with my 21st coming up in the summer. Is it because of being a diabetic? Who knows, but a lot of them had to do with stuff that non-diabetics have surgery on.
Keep up the great work!!đ©·
I love how ur other vlogs are funny, and I really love ones like this that are serious. â€â€
I have type 1 diabetes and itâs so hard for me I canât control my sugars but you give me like so much hope and happiness you make me want to do better you are the best you are wat I needed to see â€luv you so much!!
I first fell in love with you guys by your good morals and love for God. Now finding out you also relate to me because we both have type 1 diabetes is so amazing. I have been type 1 diabetic since I was 6 (Iâm now 20) and I donât know many type 1 diabetics so seeing someone who can relate me is so cool.
I LOVE YALL !! đ«đ„°đ«¶đœđ€©
The cutest couple đ€đŒ
I just love you all! Devin I canât imagine having to stick myself all the time. I have a urostomy due to radiation from cancer damage my bladder. Having a urostomy can be so aggravating with getting my orders on time because I canât go with out a bag. Then sleeping every night with night bag attached I am constantly rolling myself in the tubing then it pops off and I flood the bed of course with urine. Itâs so aggravating. It limits me a lot but man am I so thankful. When I got cancer at 38 weeks pregnant I felt like I had been given a death sentence. Total of 29 surgeries from age 27 to now 39. I had leiomyosarcoma and super aggressive and has over 50% chance it will come back. Bring young with medical problems is so hard. Through God he has given me life and has let me continue to be here for my son. I can not complain about medical but it does get aggravating. So I can relate having a permanent illness/life change to medical but I canât imagine doing what you do. Your my hero! Sorry that was a lot. Iâm wanting to share my testimony online and have had several tell me I need to write a book. I have so many holy smokes moments
(What I call it) where you can see God working on my life especially timing. Itâs mind blowing. I wish I could talk to you guys ever since we I heard your alls testimony itâs just hit home with me. Love you guys so much!!!â€
Literally love you guys channel. Literally lifts me up
As a single guy,It gives me hope to see Christian couples like yâall,Matt & Abby and others who have stood strong on Gods word through everything
Btw. I love the bluegrass style music in the background. Where can I find it?
Thank you for sharing your experience with diabetes. I am pregnant and have gestational diabetes. I can relate with counting the carbs and trying to stay away from âtreatsâ A little different then type 1.
Hi, devin! Love ya! Early đ„ș
Ty for sharing with us đđ
My diabetic doctor said if your BSâs are high drink a lot(Like 8oz every 1/2hr) of water to bring your sugars down, give your insulin too but drink water to flush out those sugars. Iâve found that it helps with speeding up that process and that crummy feeling doesnât stay as long. Us diabetics try to do our best and thatâs all we can do. Take care and have a great weekend!!đđ
You can still use temp basal on manual mode! Itâs like exercise mode but you see what percent of your basal you want. So for example you could do 50% basal for exercise to decrease how much your pump gives you. Hope that helps!
Diagnosed at 53, now 56. Reading labels and minimizing carbs and sugar helps, eating a cinnamon role and crap food like that will always make the process much harder. Congrats on your a1c
I have a love hate relationship with my CGM. I hate wearing it. I love being free from the thing.... only for a short while. Then I realize that the thing (as temperamental as it can be) when I get a good run, provides me with a slight sense of freedom that I need. I have a demanding, physically intense job that requires me to be on point. My Medtronic system helps me in that regard.
All of you who are struggling with this disease, know that this disease cannot be 'controlled' it can be 'managed'.
Be patient with yourself. You are human. We all are. I know how very frustrating this struggle is. Keep pushing ahead. One day and night at a time. I am rooting for you!
Heavy cream in itself is quite low carbs and is a way better option over milk. Heavy cream contains about 3 grams of carbs per 100 grams (about 0.5 gram per tablespoon).
âCan you say hey vlog?â âNo.â đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Do what you're supposed to do feel good. Don't do what you're supposed to do feel bad. It's as easy as that.
Best part of this video was Hunter with his shirt off. That will make anybody feel better.
Damn that sucks having to do all that . Iâm type 2 and feel like this is a lot to do but watching you deal with that , much respect for you girl . I recently had to get on mounjaro shots cause my A1C was high and it helped me a lot but I lost 25+ lbs but I feel better now . Keep up the good work .
The struggle is real I know how you feel when my sugar gets low I get the shakes really bad when itâs high yea I wouldnât have woke up lol
Iâm also Type 2 and we all have crazy sugar days. Have you tried some of the sugar free yogurt? It could help with the smoothies. Also not sure if your a Starbucks girl but Publix has sugar free creamer that is so good. đOn kicking your A1C down from 10 to 6 !!! That is amazing đ Keep up the great work!
Type 2 Diabetic heređ You're doing great!! From 10 to 6.7??! That's amazing girlie†At first my A1c was over 14...My Endocrinologist put me on Ozempic and it's down to 7.5 now. My dr. wants me at 6.5. I need to make some improvements for sure. It seems like you're really doing well as far as living a healthy lifestyle!
I love this! I am a pediatric endocrine nurse and I actually educate families and patients when they are first diagnosed. How old were you when you were diagnosed? We usually see kiddos ages 2-17 at diagnosis, so it's crazy that you recently found out as an adult. I also love your attitude about it
Get plain yogurt and add vanilla extract, the blueberries have natural sugar. Also keep natural(unsweetened) applesauce on hand.
Hi Devin! I also have to test myself, as I am pre diabetic. I found it doesnât hurt as much if you prick the side of your fingers instead of the pad of your finger. Give it a try and I wish you well. đ
The thing about getting insulin in the thighs is that it doesnât absorb as quickly as the arms or the stomach and when it does finally absorb it drops your blood sugar quickly and significantly instead of gradually so itâs the worst location to get insulin out of the 3 spots
My doctor's always recommend using thighs,I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it absorbs the same
For coffee do black coffee, half and half and get the sugar free syrups with no added sugars. It is amazing and will not make you spike!!!!
OMG, i did not know you have a youtube. I follow you on tictok. I just typed in day in the life as diabetic and you showed up! I am a type 1 diabetic my self and need motivation. I struggle with my readings being high high like in the 400s and above. I want to get healthy but with no insurance and no guidance it is super hard. Love your tictoks, btw.
As a fellow adult onset T1D, I feel your pain. I'm only 5 years in, and everyday is different. I'm thankful for the Tech we have to help us deal. Sorry to hear you lost your transmitter, yikes. Also, you need basal always, so please be careful. DKA is no joke and can come on really quickly.
I just found out that I have non-diabetic hypoglycemia, it is so weird now trying to figure out what to eat and what to more stay away from. For years thought it was an electrolyte problem or dehydration but no it is Inon-diabetic hypoglycemia...I love your videos ans shorts! You are amazing!!
I just get really tired when mine is high. Dry mouth, that kind of stuff. I feel like I'm dying when it's low though lmao.
Try Chobani Zero Oat milk(zero sugar) also Chobani Plain Oat Creamer and add vanilla extract to your decaf coffee.
Idk if this helps, but Iâm picky with creamer too. I ended up finding the Starbucks non-dairy Caramel Macchiato at Walmart. Itâs THE best creamer Iâve ever had. Got my mom into it too â€
Girlllll. Have you tried NutPod creamer?!?! With a little stevia. Soooooo good.
I was diagnosed in '88. It gets a lot easier as you make adjustments over time.. Working with my Dexcom and Tandem T-Slim X2 is so much easier now.. no carrying around a kit. FYI.. no Tylenol or products with Acetaminophen or the Dexcom goes haywire.
I currently have 10.3! I hope mine drops to the same level as yours too!
I loved that good vibes shirt, where did you get it?
Devin, when you are in manual mode, you can't put in a temp basal? I have the older model omnipod and set temp basal when going to the gym or having an active day.
I have the same starcourt tshirt from stranger things!!
Check the recall list for your town for the frozen fruit Great value brand.
Iâm a type one diabetic. Thanks for sharing your experience :) â€ïž never go a day without an omnipod replacement is so true haha Iâve said it to myself many times haha.. Dexcom g6 Bluetooth paired is elite, so is the home delivery for your pods. props to setting your best foot forward and eating healthy. I am a bit more of a carefree diabetic and like oatmilk without sugar in my coffee. Also, I hate being without Dexcom sensors!! I wish we could be able to have more of a supply for when we need to replace early :â( alas they want to assume we only need 1 every 10 days đ keep vlgging, love your vidâs
Thereâs an alternative to automated mode/activity mode, you can reduce basal by a certain percentage for a certain amount of hours! Always have juice (and some sort of protein like small cheese) at home after a workout super fast and refreshing if BS is low before dinner
Make sure to call Dexcom for replacements when they fail. If I have a crazy off sensor I report it and have a new one sent even if itâs on the 8th day or so. This has given me a month or so cushion in case I have insurance trouble.
Can you do more get ready with me videos? đ
Iâm not a peanut butter fan what would you recommend for substituting the peanut butter?
I do Lantus once a day at night before bed. Then Humalog whenever I eat. The pumps freak me out. Always have, IDK why. Been type 1 since I was 7 and I'm 32 now. Start eating low carb. Try to top out at 100 grams if you can. Lower is better. Eat protein. Careful with what veggies you eat. There's hidden carbs in em. A cup of cooked broccoli raises my blood sugar as much as a can of coke would.... swear to God. Really strange. But yea, super low carb and plenty of protein. The A1C will go down. AND GO TO THE GYM, or at least exercise 3 or 4 days a week for 45 minutes of you can. I know with kids it'll be hard, but you can do it. Routine. Build a routine and it gets real easy
â€â€â€ Iâm 20 years in. Itâs a battle everyday but donât get to upset when the numbers donât look like you want everytime my a1c is 6.1 and everyday is different
Hi Devin!! Iâm a type one diabetic and I was wondering when you were diagnosed? I was diagnosed in 5th grade and still have anxiety every new school year, especially now in high school. I was just wondering if you ever experience/experienced the same thing?
Real question, why inject in your leg? Your videos have helped me w my mom since she was diagnosed type one a few months ago and I inject it into her abdomen..your videos have been extremely helpful for me to understand this condition. Thank you for sharing your journey and truth, Iâm sure itâs not easy..itâs very inspiring and selfless of you to be so transparent and honest about your life and personal struggles
My little girl is 10 and just got her omnipod! Itâs been amazing! She was diagnosed at 18 months! Diabetes sucks! đ
Where did you get your shoes from ? I love them
đalways â€â€â€â€đ
I do not go to sleep until I get my blood sugar down. If it is not in the 100-120 range, I will continue to exercise. I usually walk 10,000 to 20,000 steps a day. A step counter is important for me. I use a Samsung smart phone to count my steps. They seem to be very accurate.
I'm the same way. Once I have the sweets, I want more. It's not easy. I just started a new healthy desert.Watermelon, strawberries, and blueberries with some coconut flavored whip cream. So good. And healthier. I'm not sure if natural sugars affect your diabetes. I'm not sure how that works.
Yes they do
@@AC-iw5mv ahhh that sucks. Thanks for clarifying.
What kind of protein powder do you use?
Hunter should try Manduu training not sure if diabetics can do it or not but Iâm sure they would probably be a potential sponsor for him
Type 1, since i was 8. 34 now
This is likely in my very near future. I started exhibiting symptoms of diabetes very suddenly last year.
Mine too, unfortunately. I was recently diagnosed as being pre diabetic. đą
How did you come to start insulin? Like what made you go to the doctor and them to say you have diabetes? My whole side of my dads family has diabetes and my dad is on dialysis due to kidney failure, which is from diabetes. He is also 90% blind. I do not want to be like that. Are there any other videos I can watch from you about this? What do you put in your tea to sweeten it? What tea do you drink? Your gym shoes are so fun!! Where are they from?
Do you tan with your dexcom on?
Have you done a diabetes video q and a?
I donât know anything about diabetes- how did you get it?
Will you ever not be diabetic?
Is it hereditary?
It is definitely hereditary. I was recently diagnosed as being pre diabetic. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm thinking most of the time once your diabetic, always a diabetic. Unless you can reverse it with diet. My son was diagnosed at age 21 as a T1D and he has that thing that Devon put on her leg. Can't remember what it's called lol. It's synced to his iPhone so he can constantly check his BS.
4:30 is that a Microtech OTF?? đ
I Love Your Love For Husband, I Love His Love for you, his Wife.
As a person who comes from a long line of family members with diabetes, I was taught not to deprive myself of something I want, if I dont have it, it only makes me want it that much more. I will eat what I want at that time, but only a little, I dont overindulge. The feeling I have of needing that certain food will go away. My doctor told me the same thing. Good luck on everyone's journey.!!
Totally not the point of the video but where did you get your shoes that you wore to the gym? Theyâre so cute
Are you type 1? I was diagnosed with type 1 two years ago. Iâm on dexcom and tandem pump
gotta be careful with not having your pod on overnight. not getting a basal overnight is a sure fire way get a build up of ketons.
I have diabetes too
Oooof, you accidentally threw away the transmitter? That's an expensive mistake. đą
I don't know how she went this long being a type 1 . She's lucky she's still alive.
My little sister has type 1 diabetes. I prick her finger and give her shots because she's too young to do it herself.
This is a dumb question but whatâs the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
Thereâs this thing called googleâŠ.. đ
@@sadmisterguna and u also couldâve just answeredâŠ
@@tobytaylor2823 No because itâs actually quite complex, so I would have to leave a lot out or simplify it. You will be much better informed reading a detailed explanation from a reliable source on the internet đ
i love u devin but ur crooked glasses are killing me
I recently found out I am insulin resistant and almost a pre diabetic. I just started taking a subcutaneous injection once weekly for insulin resistance. Thank you for sharing you DM journey. Any tips on how you exercise with a little one? Also how do you keep yourself on track with eating healthy? I seem to fall short on that. God bless and thanks for sharing.
I guarantee you have a vitamin D deficiency, which is the primary cause of insulin resistance. Try supplementing magnesium and D3 and you might see instant results. Good luck
I am proof of what happens when your bloods are up and down now Iâm stable and will stay that way. Coz kidney failer stage two I was all over the place for 3 years due to a very traumatic thing that happens to me I was in old money 23 mmols Iâm now 6 most days I feel so much better but Iâve had 5 eye ops neuropathy athritus there is no end to whs wrong with me but I feel so much better than I did now on a mission of donât end up like me look after your diabetes lmao
Can someone plz tell hunter that her diabetes is a demonic attack and she must repent and rebuke it. Ughhh precious Hunter I pray you spend time with Jesus soon and realize that
I donât know how these young girls for diabetic and stuff I donât get that
god bless
It is more than buffet! Adding sugar.
I wish you recovery. It's really annoying to stick to some kind of diet. đąMy life like this. But thanks for godđđŻđđŻđđŻ
I am not a Dr. But I hear a carnivore diet really really helps diabetes. Lots of videos on the carnivore diet.
I'm typ 2 on metforman now you can control it change diet baked foods since I changed my diet I went from shots to pills my sugar once got too 500 I nearly died now its down to 117 to 90s sepsis survive i eat strawberries blueberries other fruits best tging i use lower my blood sugar is cucumbers
I'm really sorry this has afflicted you.
I'll pray for you, and your good health, and hopefully the rest of these good viewers will too.
Don't they make a way now where you don't have to prick yourself anymore?
YUCK
