I have type1 , and i just recovered from Covid-19.
This comforts me my husband just got it and I was so worried!!
Wat was your medication or treatement
Happy to hear that. Brings comfort to me.
I’m so sry I have had to been extra carful my moms a doctor my dad works at a car place and I have school it’s hard to manage with things in class because
Hi! How bad did it get for you my roomate caught it and im scared for him hes type 1
Thanks Danica. I've been starving to hear from other T1Ds on this subject, and I think we're all really glad you made this video, even just to check in.
It's refreshing to hear another type 1 diabetic who is still living life the best we can... going to work and to the grocery store. I also work in a doctor's office (I'm an office manager) we have continued to see patients but have several screening questions and procedures in place to keep ourselves and other patients healthy; we have stepped up our cleaning and sanitizing as well. My thoughts are similar to yours in that if you are generally healthy and have your diabetes under control you aren't at any higher risk of getting any virus. Thanks for posting!
Glad to hear you’re well Danica. Thanks for putting this up to let us know!
Nurses, Dr, all medical professionals, grocery & pharmacy store workers, etc are all amazing. Thank you all so so much.
I’m with you my hope is in God and that is so awesome!!
Hello! I have an office job for a major grocery company so although I’m still working, I am now able to do my job from home 4 days a week until this pandemic is under control. With the exception of having Type 1, I am otherwise in good health and my A1c is better than ever using the new pump/Dexcom system. Take good care of yourself and stay healthy! I so enjoy your talks! Mary
I'm so Glad i Found your pg Danica it's good to see that they still have Caring people in the world.
thank you for this update..it really helps to hear an uplifting update..well worth the time
It's good to hear a T1D perspective this. Thank you and God bless!❤️❤️❤️
At school I am always surrounded by friends and nurses that will always be on top of me for taking care of my diabetes. But now that I'm home alone my blood sugar has been really bad 😰
It's YOUR DIABETES, is solely your responsibility. Smh
I feel like being off of work has allowed me to more closely watch it. Micromanage it if you will. See how certain carbs play out in my system. Make lists of foods that are pretty stable and foods that seem unstable. And then work on the unstable list.
My clinic is shut down and so has my work here in vancouver canada I can still order my diabetes supplies but post office is doing no signing
I agree with this video. I’m a CNA in a kid emergency department and becoming an RN there in May once I graduate. It’s all just overwhelming
This helped me so much Danica thank you. I’ve had diabetes for 8 years closing on 9 and I’m a 17 year old. I’d stay I’m considered fit because so play sports like football yearly. My A1C is 6.9 and I’ve never had drugs or alcohol in my life. I think just the fact that it’s considered a “autoimmune” disease has been messing with me. This really did provide me some closure so I just wanted to reach out and say thank you!
I’m super scared. I was just diagnosed with type one diabetes I’m seventeen and got diagnosed this September. I’m super afraid of corona virus. Do you think I’ll be ok or was there lots of damage done?
Danica is a rock star! Thanks, Danica!!
We just had our 3 month appointment, and we had to do it via telehealth (internet). I find it amazing that your place is open to patients. Stay safe Danica! 💙
Nice video!
I like how you always show what your dog is doing at the end of the videos!
Stay safe, jeep smiling and be relaxed. The natural light showed off your beautiful hair colour brilliantly
Im so glad you are living well with your illness your a strong person.
well done for the update and for the happy, cheery beautiful smiling personality. Stay safe, happy and healthy
im 26... my wife works at a hospitale, she has worked with covid patients.... i dunno if i should be scared or whaty to do :(
I've been staying home a lot with my kids being out of school and doing school online it's been difference
Thank you for the info!👍
Are you finding it easier to control your blood sugar right now.
DAT LIGHTING DOE. Quality video Danica!
You are awesome. Thank you
As a wellness nurse I am watching as many personal accounts as I can just to get a feel for the symptom profile and risks.
Hi! 🖐 I have recently been doing research on T1D and the symptoms. I have alot of the symptoms of it. And with this coronavirus here now, im afraid to go to the doctor to see if i do, becacse for the obvious reason that T1Ds are more at risk for getting it. But at the same time, im worried about DKA. And going to the hospital and having an even higher risk of getting the coronavirus. Have any suggestions on what i should do?
look for a skin rash at first, then loosing your smell, and diarea, loose and more often then you think it should be when you consider diet. You will get all three to some exstent. Then you loose your ability to taist anything along with nose being able to smell less and less. The sour throat is a maybe and comes more often with the cough and the sneezing, along with the high tempreture comes inafter the first three. By the time you get the first three and feel you have it and can not be exsplained go see a doctor and get tested. It is easier to recover from cases caught early and treated early then cases where they where not caught until way latter.
Any idea on how you caught Covid and was your symptoms mild moderate or severe 🙏🏽
You should do a zoom event Danica
Pls help me my mom si diabetic and is having could symptoms..need to ask how to cure her
My boyfriend is diabetic and we are far from each other. I live in the philippines and my boyfriend right now is in hongkong stucked because he is travelling. He is selling there in order to survive and i always worry about him. I dont know what to do and i am very scared about it. 😞😞😞
What is the say about people that are type two diabetics? I just need to know if we are somewhat protected from this virus? I mean my diabetes are under control I eat healthy exercise I take the correct vitamins. I’m losing weight. And I might be from being a type two diabetic to be in prediabetic because I’ve lost close it 30 pounds since I was diagnosed with type two diabetes.
Thank you!
Hi Danica, I'm from overseas, and of course I'm far from the US, but thankfully I speak English, so I got lucky to find your video. It made me feel a lot more comfortable with Diabetes and this horrible virus. I was really afraid that if I would get infected It would be the end. Thanks to your advise, I will for sure control my sugar levels (sorry if I say or write something wrong), and exersice to be as healthy as I can. Although it would be very helpful if you can tell us about people who is a diabetic, and also has high blood pressure, and if you know about some cases and how to improve the chances of surviving from Covid-19. Thanks you so much for caring. Best wishes form Guatemala, the full year Spring country.
Thank you.
Love you stay safe ! Such a cute puppy Face!!! Plus I screwed up my BGs by changing my sensitivity factor now I have to fix it! # feel dumb
Diabetes isn't a one size fits all but is individualized. There are many factors involved in controlling bg and keeping stress levels in check definitely helps. Especially these days I've been a type 1 for 51 years since age 3. Great video
I've been coloring and drawing or riding the 4 wheeler
Cool - thank you
Help! My Dr's will not inform me on which vaccine is best for Type 1 diabetics. I totally put my trust in God also. I am following CDC guidelines. I'd really appreciate it if you will please give me your informative answer on which vaccine is best for me. Thanks so much and I really look forward to hearing from you!
Because I'm Diabetic (type1) I can't go outside and I've been in my house for 3 weeks i think the only thing keeping my sane is family and animal crossing 😂
Is it Safe for type 2?
My dad is diabetic and just tested positive.. he's in his late 50's :(...not seeing ppl recovering from his age group worries me
How is he now??
How is your father?
Ciao. My father is 61 in the ER now with covid with diabetes . Do you think he will survive? I’m petrified 😣🙁
Msgd u on snap too . Grazie 🙏🏼
How is your father doing?

What is your name
Im from spain, t1d for 20 years, not covid affected. Danica keep up with your Hard work!
Elena Quetglas I’m T1D for 20 years too! ☺️
Elena Quetglas stay safe!!
Thank you I love all your videos
Love the hair make you look more amazing.
I am T1 and have the metronic pump
Omg you are super cute Danica. Super bubbly attitude. 😊
I work in an essential industry. I would have to work except that I am now under doctor's orders to isolate myself and my T1 son (5 years old) because EVERYONE in this house has mild respiratory symptoms. My PA prescribed me a z-pak, last Tuesday,, but I can't get it until tomorrow (if at all). It is one of the few antibiotics I can take.
Hi I live in Australia we eventually followed NZ into doing a lock down. Everyone by that time was self isolating anyways if you could in any way possible. I really missed the gym work outs to help control my sugar levels. Just tried grazzing and cutting down on carbs as much as possible. Sneaked out for five km walks some times so many times a day. However gettting higher as time goes on.

Hey there denika awesome video finding things to do at home that can be a real challenge for some people open up for me. Watch a lot of Netflix if you have it yeah I have been thinking about board games and family game nights that's pretty cool too. I also bought a Nintendo switch over the holidays so I've been keeping busy with that as well. Overall I don't think this stay home is really affecting me too much I do love being out but spending time at home can be just as good. I had been thinking about covid 19 and diabetes wondering how that would affect people with diabetes cuz there is a fact I'm diabetic type 2 one thing I've always been told is a diabetics take longer to recover from just about anything. My A1C is have been pretty good I've been between 6 and 7. I like disclaimer at the end of the video yeah everyone should consult their own physician.
I heard the risk with the t1d was being on a ace inhibitors have you read this? As the virus uses some of those receptors or recovers with it I can’t remember why
Sharp Life that’s interesting. I was wondering the correlation
My dad is a type one diabetic. He's able to work from home and uses insta cart and is able to have his insulin and syringes delivered to our house. We say that he's in the special 5 percent of people who this can affect
I've developed most of the symptoms & have been in self isolation for the last week now ,so far I've found my insulin resistance has increased ten fold my background insulin has been increased a lot & just isn't making any difference constant highs.fast acting is pretty much the same as well ,wish it would sort itself out 😭
@@EricJackson76 Thank yoU!
This makes me sad to hear. Hope you are doing better.
As a type 1 it’s been interesting getting in my workouts I would normally be doing at the gym. Online webinar bible studies have been very interesting to say the least. Gotta just keep living to any extent we can right now. And when this passes don’t take anything for granted
Am I the only one laughing at the people freaking out over toilet paper instead of food?
Wow, I thought you were in California all these years. We have had a terrible time getting the usual diabetes supplies. i.e. insulin and dexcom sensors (we are able to keep almost a month of other supplies). We did finally get our insulin (pd $2k for 1 month supply as had to get non-generic, but very thankful we were able to get it for our daughter.) I hope some companies will start doing more branching out of California like Tandem has done.
This inspiring story of an Indian family & their two young daughters COVID-19 Experience will surely bring a smile to your face.

When you find yourself watching Danica’s plaits or whatever xD (are they really called pigtails? Feels kinda insulting so I didn’t want to call them that 🙈)
Hello I am a type one diabetic and have been for the past 12 years. I have had a mild case of covid. No fever. I had mild headaches, body aches, lost of sense and smell, and sore throat the first 4 days of contracting the virus. My sugar levels have been good, and if I do spike up it’s because of the medication. If you have questions feel free to ask
My mom just got it she has diabetes and she 38 I hope nothing happens 🤦🏽♂️
Hey, my sister has T1D and has contracted covid. She’s double vaccinated but we are quite scared. Do you have any tips on how she can get through this?
My daughter had had type 1 for 14 yrs. And keeps having her father's daughters (sisters) over to sleep over. It scares me that she isn't taking this serious. She just recent moved out. I'm constantly anxious About it. She doesn't listen to me 😒
That's a tricky one tbh! Hope.whe stays safe and it all works out for you! She might not be taking it seriously being young :(
You look healthy. Your dog
is soo cute. I am a diabetic
for 27 years. I have type 2.
I am on Novolog sliding
scale 3 times a day. I am
also on 80 units of Lantus
at night. I am overweight
by 92 lbs. (Not good) I know! I am 68 yrs. I am
having a hard time trying
to lose weight. I know
that the metabolism slows
down as we age. Do you have any suggestions?
I would appreciate any
suggestions in trying to
lose weight. Thank You
Watch dr ekberg videos they are really really helpful
I put on a mask before bolus. It’s hard to eat with the mask on however.
I’m 10 And a type 1 Should I Be Okay?
😁
I'm a nurse in a nursing home and type one also and I decided to stop work, mainly because my bms are not great as I struggle, and of course in a nursing home you can't follow the social distancing rules or work from home. I found the advice from our government disappointing towards diabetes, being more likely to get it shouldn't matter, it's highly contagious anyway so really diabetics cannot afford to get it because of the risk with DKA. Evidence so far has shown poorer outcomes. Not to scare people however, just my true feelings. I'm lucky I have been able to stay off work but I plan to return in a month or two when the infection rate is hopefully much lower...hope everyone does everything they can to protect themselves and families. I also have a four year old daughter off school, and my parents need to shield so no longer can look after her. So that is another reason I am off work, but ultimately I feel I'm doing what's best by me and my family. I don't want to be a hero right now, I want to be a mother to my daughter and protect us both from out there.
i stay home as much as I can Covid seems to make people over 20 sick more so best of luck stay safe.
diabuddy, please stay safe
Regarding COViD-19 outcomes for T1 diabetics - since Type 1 generally comes from an autoimmune attack on pancreas it seems T1Ds would be more vulnerable to have a cytokine storm triggered by COVID-19. Some one with an existing autoimmune condition is more prone to have other autoimmune events over time. This is one reason why T1Ds May be at greater risk for worst COVID outcomes. Eat right ... don’t let stress get you... and just plain try not to get it! (I think stress has a role in the immunity world ... ).. just ramblings but thought I’d share some things I’d discovered.
Unrelated: Do you know anyone with that malfunctioning Medtronic pump?
Even more unrelated: Your hair looks amazing like that!
Ian McRobbie I had the malfunctioning pump.
My Granddaughter had one, and found out it was on recall. with assistance of her doctor Medtronic sent her a new one to replace it, just a couple weeks ago.
The only reason I subbed to you is because your funny and because I have diabetes to!
I’m a pharmacy technician and I got tested for COVID and uploaded the entire experience on my channel!
Awesome cool 😎 😎😎😎
Hi
Class is hard cause my medical equipment on class it’s eh
I want the Pup.
I’m italian. 35 years old, type 1. I’m really, really scared from that monster.
I’m type 1, 24 & I just tested positive yesterday. I’m so scared of this.
@@lisamarie8745 don’t give up! Fight that son of a B***h 💪 i am with you. With love ❤️ 🙏
My dad is diabetic and him, my mom, and I were all infected. COVID is absolutely no joke. I just posted a video on my channel about my traumatic experience. I talk about the recovery process and what I deal with now (mental health and physical health) and how I'm STILL recovering even after I've tested negative. Go check it out and if you have any questions let me know. Stay safe, everyone.
How are they doing?
CNN said differently and thank you because I have been asking the Canadian Government to say this on live TV I’m well controlled 6.8 A1C and I love that you cleared that up!!
Most time when i was at school people would say i have a higher Chance geting covin-19
Gemma Horn you do
You don’t. It’s highly contagious for EVERYONE
JDRF says you are not at higher risk if your diabetes is controlled. Social distancing, hand washing. Hopefully you have masks you can utilize
You do.
Be careful with all this "information".
Especially regurgitated info.
Th Government wants everyone back to work...Back to work Slaves, even if you die...they are doing so knowing many more will die because, PEOPLE ARE STILL DYING...
Penny Marshall died from complications of diabetes, go figure.
This is a strong viral illness, it will drive your BS bananas, and they won't be able to bring it back down, that's when the organ failure comes.
Don't believe everything you hear.

Yeah but try getting DIAGNOSED during the quarentine and going into DKA🙄
That’s tough!
this happened to me! went into DKA a month ago. was diagnosed with LADA. I am wondering if coronavirus could be silently triggering diabetes
This video was a little too upbeat for talking about covid. When I’m trying to understand my aunts death from covid it’s just off putting. That’s all.
But you went to Starbucks?
I got a coffee from my favorite local coffee shop to help support small businesses in this tough time. They have a drive-thru :)
your title is misleading! You just repeated nonsense we already know. Waste of time
You lost me at trust in God. Skip your insulin and trust in God.
