Great video! Emma is so brave and she is lucky to have such a conscientious mother. My T1D diagnosis was in 1963. Back then, there were no insulin pumps or CGMs. We estimated glucose levels with urine tests by mixing 5 drops of urine with 10 drops of water in a test tube, and then adding a Clinitest reagent tablet, which made the solution boil. A color chart indicated the percentage of urine glucose. I switched from injections to an insulin pump in 1988, and now use the t:slim X2 and Dexcom G6. Both are great, and are superior to Medtronic pumps and CGMs. This morning, I did the occasional double site change/sensor change. CGMs are the greatest advancement. I have suffered from severe hypoglycemia unawareness since the 1960s, and have woken up in the emergency room too many times. Best of luck. You and Emma are pros!
She is such a warrior! My 8 year old son is using the Dexcom G6 and we are currently deciding if he will go on the pump. I really think it will make managing his sugars a lot easier as right now he is like a rollercoaster with highs and lows. The tandem pump is the only one the hospital is recommending for his age and his activities. I’m trying to do as much research as I can so I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. Sending you both hugs and prayers for a cure as we pray for one every night but are also so grateful for the technology that is available 💞
As a diabetic using that insulin pump I would 100% recommend it it makes carb counting and calculating all the insulin much easier because it pretty much does it it’s self! I am also very active as I play field hockey so it also makes it easier to use a pump instead of pens.
I have T1D myself and it is so hard to find anyone who uses the Dexcom G6 and t:slim x2 pump. This makes me feel like I’m not alone, especially when I have to change both on the same day! Thank you for the awesome videos!❤
I've been type 1 for 40 years, been pumping for 12 with a medtronic. Just about to try out using the T-slim and G6 in a few weeks. Loved seeing your REAL life video. You and your daughter are true diabadasses! Keep up the good work and videos!
Thank you for these videos. My 4 y/o has watched them to help understand what tandem is and now she can’t wait to try hers and get it. You guys made it less scary and intimidating for her. Thank you ❤
I'm considering the insulin pump myself and this insulin pump looks easy enough to use but I'm in the thought stage at the moment 🙂I have an interlectual disability and find videos like this helpful and I'm from Australia too
In my opinion i would choose this pump (tslim) personally, not just because i use it, but also because its way more advanced than all the other pumps in my opinion. And has a lot of setting’s you can use to help manage your diabetes when doing activities like sleeping and exercising:)
Bravest little girl. I pray there is a cure for T1D soon! You do such an amazing job of monitoring your blood sugar and do finger sticks like it's nothing at all. Amazing!
Thank you so much for showing this process! I am a longtime user of MiniMed 25 + years diabetic for 37 years, and excited to get started with the Tandem and Dexcom combo. They are quite different in the insertion process. Along with the items you use to help keep the sites in place. I love being in the water and my sites always lift, even with other products that claim they help stick in the water. Thank you again!!
What a great video, thanks for sharing your guys’ experience! Im just switching from Medtronic to tandem/Dexcom combo and this was the most helpful video!
You are the best mom. This has to be very hard to know that your baby needs all this to survive. I pray for a cure very soon. My adult daughter has all the same.
Thanks for ur video she is so amazing to have to go though all of this and mum an dad need to go though it as well to make sure she safe but watching her do her own blood stick what a champion.
I just had a double site change today. One was because of an partially blocked infusion site and my Dexcom sensor needed to be changed out today along with a new transmitter. I was also thinking about the itchiness she has. Our skin tends to be very dry which can lead to itchiness. Then also it could be the Dexcom adhesive as well. Before the next site change, I’d recommend getting OTC Flonase spray and spray it on the new Dexcom site after the unisolve is used. Let that dry, then use the skin adhesive, and apply the patch.
I was misdiagnosed type 2 for the first 10 months of my diabetic journey. Later diagnosed as a late onset type 1. I bawled when they changed my diagnosis as I knew I was stuck with diabetes forever. I now have the same medical devices she has in these videos and they are a life changer!
Thank you for your help I am a new patient with the new tea Slim X2 so I was just taking a peek and how it goes about it. Thank you so much you were very very helpful so now I’m gonna go ahead and take the class that I need to learn how to do this. Thank you so muchand you are so brave mama
Thanks for this video 🥺 she’s such a brave girl my baby boy who’s 9 was just diagnosed and we’re looking into getting the Dexcom this just made me feel much better ♥️♥️🙏🏾
My son is going onto tslim x2 and dexcom g6 next month, medtronic was great but was issues with having it stay on for any length of time. Such a great device and hop it gets him back to being in range 💯% of the time 😊
Hello! i love your videos. As a fellow type one diabetic i relate to all of this. I was also wondering where did she get her really cute d-bag from?much love!!!
I am a type 1 diabetic and l am actually getting a dexcom g6 on Thursday and l take my neadles in my legs and my belly my bum and in my arms l got diabetes since I was 7 but now I am 14 year's old em it is really hard to manage it but right now I am on the library scanner but hopefully on Thursday l will get the dexcom you are a brave little girl ❤❤so proud of you
It won't hurt if theres a small amount of air in the syringe. A nurse showed me how much air can actually be pumped into someone, before it will actually effect you, and it was almost an entire line of tubing for that to happen.
She said the adhesives itch, is it possible she is sensitive to the adhesive? I use Skin Tac before putting on any monitors because it's hypoallergenic and helps keep things stuck on. I personally am allergic to adhesive but need the cgm
1 of the mom's on TH-cam actually has to take care of for you that doesn't it has to do with that too and she just same thing how to get the pumps off Am I I have a friend that has diabetic too In my mom's too

You're incredibly patient and high five to Emma!
Double site changes are my favorite! I take a really, long bubble bath!and it gets super itchy under the overlays, it’s not fun! You guys are amazing!
Thank you so much, I recently started on the pump and Dexcom this really helped me out. She is such a smart and brave little girl. Gods Bless
My son just got both of those I'm putting it on him today I know how to use the dexcom I'm just learning the pump!!!
My daughter's name is Emma too! And she just got diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes a few months ago in August. Thanks for the videos!

I agree with everyone Emma is a strong lil princess. She is our superhero.
Story of our life I also have a type one diabetic .. ninja warrior mother :) ❤
i know this video is old but pull the air out of the cartridge befroe you put insulin in the syringe it makes is so much easier !
I am a type 1 diabetic and l am actually getting a dexcom g6 on Thursday and l take my neadles in my legs and my belly my bum and in my arms l got diabetes since I was 7 but now I am 14 year's old em it is really hard to manage it but right now I am on the library scanner but hopefully on Thursday l will get the dexcom you are a brave little girl ❤❤so proud of you
This is late but I’m a type one diabetic and one thing my endocrinologist said is when you have the insulin in the needle never put more air into it.
you should try the omipod 5 it works the same way like your pump only no wire
You fail to mention that the omnipod 5 is a giant brick that is stuck somewhere on your body, that’s not really exactly the same as this
Your such a warrior! ❤
I have one of those on my right leg and left side of my stomach and my brother has it on his left leg and right side on his stomach 😊
It won't hurt if theres a small amount of air in the syringe. A nurse showed me how much air can actually be pumped into someone, before it will actually effect you, and it was almost an entire line of tubing for that to happen.
Hola! Que se hace cuando se pierde la señal? Y si se despega ya no sirve?
Great real life video - thank you!
I am 64. And I am used to the pens. But this seems revolutionary to not have to take four shouts a day. I am willing to try. This.
I love your videos
I started watching
Your videos yesterday. it
Probably hurts
Does Emma love her new site in the back?
Yes she’s being liking it so far !
@@the.dose.family Is it the least painful for her then her other site
@@kristalculler3928 I wouldn’t say it’s lease painful I would just say it isn’t more painful than other sites
@@the.dose.family Will Emma counite the site for her pump
My son us 11 jyst got diagnosed! We are Norweigians and get all fir free, we jyst call the pharmacy and pic up all . He to uses t slim and dexcom g6
Thats a great Monster Truck🎉
I have never seen the pump insertion site there. Is that a good site overall?
Also one thing is me and my mom go through insurance and we get bags of insulin vials.
Tanto processo mas teem de ser para a saúde dela❤
She is one tough cookie ❤
I love her hair
Loved the video!
What was the blue circle thing that was used at the end with the finger prick the next morning
Pls share the link for the liquid u used to remove pump n dexcom
She so brave !
I’m a type 1 diabetic to ❤
Ujj ggv FCC vcd
Saludos me pueden informar como se llama ese liquido que le remueve el dexcom y lo deja libre de pega
I use a omnipod and it’s great!!!
She said the adhesives itch, is it possible she is sensitive to the adhesive? I use Skin Tac before putting on any monitors because it's hypoallergenic and helps keep things stuck on. I personally am allergic to adhesive but need the cgm
I obviously did not watch the whole video first lol
if prick the side of the finger you will have less discomfort from the needle there is less nerves on the side of the fingers.
There is also less fat and a bone, so it will bruise and be just as painful, it’s not a alternative it’s a preference
Do you know why you’re dial resistant can you put an old insulin in with the new
Awesome 😎 awesome 🤩
Thank you Sarah for always supporting our channel
@@the.dose.family how are you?
