Diagnosed by my Mom at age 8 , Type 1. Worked 48 years full time as Med Technologist, have had it 62 years now & am finally retired and Healthy on Mini Med pump since age 50. Soon to be 71 years old. Stay Healthy it can be done ! 🤗 👍 🕊
That's fantastic! You're an inspiration to the rest of us♡
Great and most useful life-saving information. Especially for those that would find me unconscious which I think is usually the case. Living alone, diagnosed with T1D at age 51, now almost 68. Never had to use one, but every single day I put a sign in my kitchen window for neighbor to see to confirm I am still alive. Only a couple times have I overslept past 7:30 am and neighbor would rush down my hall calling out my name. You MUST have an advocate when living alone with such a serious life-threatening disease. The majority of Americans have no idea what Diabetes is, let alone the difference between the often reversible T2D and the permanent T1D. I held my older brother's hand in 1997 when he died of T1D at 46 years old. But he was diagnosed in 1951 at the age of 2. No BG testing back then, only test stips you peed on. Many days I came home from school to learn he was again in the hospital. He was a miracle to have lived as long as he did and our mother is the reason for that. Totally educated herself and really worked hard to create a safe Diabetes-friendly home life for us all. 2 out of 3 kids ended up with T1D. Mom died before I was diagnosed, so I could not thank her for her herculean efforts in the 1950s and beyond.
You are so right they don’t know the difference at all. My daughter was diagnosed at 4 and she is now 13. I have been by her side from the beginning and we have worked so hard together. It makes me sad that she was diagnosed so young and I worry about her future. I am very thankful she has her pump. It has helped a lot. People don’t realize how scary this disease is
I Love This Channel. Ever since I got diagnosed with Diabetes I thought I was alone. Until I came across this channel 🙏🏼💓

As a non-diabetic, if I ever had to administer one of these to someone, I'd lean towards the G-Voke. I'd likely be nervous which makes me shake. I wouldn't have to mix anything, deal with a giant needle, or try to get powder into their nose. Just pull the cap off and press the button.
Thank you for this information, Danica! This is wonderful news for all of us Diabetics. I am a diabetic of 61 years this past November. Every improvement is very exciting. Thank you again for all you do!❤️❤️❤️
I used baqsimi tonight for the first time because my meter was reading 35 and my Dex was giving me down arrows in the 40s. Didn’t know how badly it was gonna hurt!! It’s worse and longer lasting than a Covid nasal test and I’ve had a headache since. Obvs different folks will have different experiences but always helpful to talk about our experiences with different glucagons!
Yikes! Don’t need to layer on more complications when needing to use glucagon.
I think the injectable glucagon can be mixed with the needle it the vial, if you leave the needle and syringe attached and hold by the syringe you can roll the vial along your other hand and this will gently mix it. This is how we mix injectables at my vet clinic and it makes it so your needle is covered (no sharps hanging around) and you poke the vial less which means your needle isn’t as dull therefore it is less painful for the patient.
Granted I work with animal medicine but I thought it might be helpful to someone
Thank you for keeping us updated on what’s available.
I was not aware of these products, thanks for making this video.
I picked the gvoke pen because my daughter said it would be easier for her to give it to me I guess I can be terrible when I'm low so she can sit on me and give me the gvoke
My dad was given both the baqsimi and the gvoke premixed pen. The pen has some strict temperature restrictions so not sure how to transport it in case we need to travel. But they are there and I hope he never needs to use them!
All of the glucagon options that are room stable, contain the same temperature range, including traditional kits, Gvoke, and Baqsimi. There is a new one which requires refrigeration.
Hi great review. The old version was always a pain and most family members would prefer the emergency services to give the Glucagon. The nasal version or the self administering pen looked like big steps forward. Stay safe and happy
I love your channel!!! You are so helpful!!! Been watching you since my daughter was diagnosed at 4 and she is now 13
These videos always make me excited!
Thank u for the demo and showing the 3 Glucagon
I LOVED YOU CHANEL . when i was younger you made me feel like I was no different i was so happy and I forgot and today I found you again
Hi Danica, love your channel. I like the GVOK and the Nasal Baqsimi. I have gone through a lot of lows, and my husband has been my life saver with the Glucaon Emergency kit, but he did have a hrd time with it a few times. My lows were very low ( 20's-30's) before I got the Dexcom. Now I do so much better and still working on eating. I still need to keep some thing in the house just in case, Thank you for the info.
Thankyou for your videos Danica!!!
I've never used one. I've only been prescribed one when I was a newbie. ( 16 yr diabetic) I've had about 5 endocrinologist since then and they have never prescribed it. I think its a good med to have in an emergency. I actually thought that it wasn't prescribed anymore. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Danica. Thanks for the educational videos. Diagnosed about 5 months ago and I consider myself very lucky to have access to social media where I can find people like you who are willing to share their fund of knowledge about this disease. I know this question is not relevant to this particular video but I’m wondering if you know of any clothes specifically designed for male diabetics to carry the insulin pump. I want to start using arm insertion but where to put the pump is the issue.
I've used baqsimi and it is great!
I've also used glucagon
When I was given glucagon I was totally out of it so I've got no idea what it's like.
I always got the glucagon, because that is what most Dr's know. I like the 2nd one best. Also as of December, there is generic glucagon. (finally) keep up the videos, 42 years, but it's always nice new info. And... Thank you for your help on my new control iq tslim and dexcom.
I used to have the one similiar where you have to mix it it was made by Lilly company. My insurance doesn't cover that one anymore now they cover and gave gvoke hypopen and it's much better! It's just like an insulin pen but has the needle already and it got me sugar working from 43 to 150 in 10 minutes but after about an hour it goes to normal range around 90s or 120s. I would like to have the nasal glucagon but I don't think in America covers that one or has that one. If they do insurance probably doesn't cover it. I took the hypopen myself when my sugar goes too low.
Which pump are you wearing with your Dex Com? I just started with my Dex Com today. My instructor gave me your CZcams address. You are great. I took my daughter in law with me so what I forget she can help me with. I am 70 and not all that tech savvy but I can see where you can be a blessing. Thank you.
I've had to use the one you mix while my wife was having a low blood sugar sezuire, very hard to do (had already called 911)... my hands couldn't stop shaking while trying to mix and prep it. Would prefer premix injection. Everyone is fine now, be careful as a T1D who just gave birth.. Happened 2 weeks after birth. We had a Dexcom too and basically it was dropping too fast to eat anything (tried apple juice and it got everywhere from her shaking)
I had the traditional glucagon used on me repeatedly as a child and teenager. I wasn't ever conscious for it though. I think the newer glucagons are a big improvement in ease of use especially for the people who may need to give it to you. I have the old fashioned glucagon kit since the newer ones aren't widely covered by insurance yet. Thankfully I haven't had a severe enough low as an adult to require one.
Coverage improvements occur everyday. Seek out a ready to use and train those around you on its ease of administration. Room temperature stable and ready to use.
When do you get a replacement every year like the shot?
We never used it on my daughter , she has the nose spray now.
I just got the nasal. But In my 37 years as a diabetic I had never have to use one and I hope I Don’t have to use it... this is just part of my medication and emergency bag
Never had to use one but had on hand the one you mix and my latest one for the nose. 20 year T1d. Even with insurance its expensive!!
That’s why I got the Gvoke two pack Hypopen…”an heir and a spare”! 😁
What is the best program on my computer with the Doxcom D6 ?
T1 D for 59 years never had to use anything for hypo. I think I would try the nasal.
I thought about what would be easiest to administer when my son was having a hypo seizure. The ready to use pen has multiple injection sights…arms, legs, etc. Nasal powder just one…and it’s literally, a “blast”!!
I myself haven't administered glucogon I have had it administered to me while unconscious. Had to show this video to my wife since she hates giving im shots. The sub cue one looks perfect as I think the shot might work faster
I would expect the recovery time to be easier and faster as well. Fewer side effects than a blast of dry powered up my nose.
Do you know which one has the longest "shelf life"?
Expiration on my Baqsimi is one year from now.
The three glucagon options she demoed all have “up to two year” shelf life. The temperature range is exactly the same for all three as well.UPDATE: Gvoke adult dose now 2.5 year shelf life beginning in January
Cool 😎
I had a glucagon pen kit when I was first diagnosed 34 years ago. Never used it and after many years my mother threw it away. Now I live alone and never saw a use for having it on hand. If I am so low that I need it I will be unable to actually administer it to myself. The nasal one looks promising. Does that need to be refrigerated?
No refrigeration for Baqsimi. I carry one in my purse and have one by my bed. Expiration date on mine is one year from now.
@@candacetelesca1932 Look on the Web for patient feedback who have actually used the nasal one.
Which one do you like??
What are the three shelf life’s of the drug?
Traditional kits and Baqsimi have a two year shelf life from date of manufacture. Gvoke, adult dose currently two years, but moving to 30 months (2.5 years) beginning in January.

Baqsimi?
Til I saw the thumbnail
I thought it was called Vaccimi
Hi diabuddy
The nasal powder would be my favorite.
Sounds the easiest
As a retired Paramedic and someone with Diabetes I would advise either 1 or 2 I would not trust the powder
i didn't like the Baqsimi at all.. i tried the very first one..
Ouch!
I'm rather tired of CZcamsrs wanting to be doctors please stop giving medical instructions you don't know what you're talkin about
Well this wasn't brain surgery Danica was showing us how to do. Information of now three types of glucagon which was very informative for me.
papa t, you are what we call a troll. All she was doing was explaining the three types currently available. If you know so much, where’s your medical license or CZcams channel. Enlighten us what was not correct in describing the three types currently available! Also, in world we are living in now with COVID-19, we don’t need negative people like you. We are all trying to survive with little access to our doctors. I can only get an online spot and it takes 2-3 months to get in at that. So I find her videos necessary in this health crisis the world is in. It’s frightening to be type 1 right now. It took me three pharmacies and over a week on time during lockdown to get the insulin I need to live. I finally had to go with cheap vial insulin. So troll on! I want to hear what she has to say!!!
