Being a type 1 diabetic for almost 13 years, I so appreciate that you took the time to talk about the differences between type 1 and type 2! I wish more people and platforms did this as well.
I’ve been type 1 diabetic for 11 years (diagnosed at 6). Being on the Medtronic insulin pump and CGM has made my life much easier. My current HbA1C is 6.7%!. Due to my diabetes I’ve discovered a love for nursing, I’m starting nursing school (bachelor level) in February next year. Love from Australia!💚
As the older sister of a Type I diabetic, endocrinologists are a special kind of wonderful. Extra special shoutout to Dr. Scott at Children's Hospital of Alabama for taking care of my baby sister along her whole journey.
I have type 1 diabetes, I was diagnosed when I was 4 and I'm 19 now so I don't remember what it's like to not have it, It is a lot to manage everyday but I do the best I can to keep my numbers in range while also being a busy college student! My insulin pump does make it a lot easier though!
Thank you for raising awareness/ adressing that there are two (main) types of Diabetes! :D Myself has to deal with the misconseptions all the time which can be very annoying :)
I'm a student paramedic so still VERY new to anything medical. I went to a patient a few weeks back actively having quite a big MI. Barely any pain, no typical MI symptoms (except he had vomited once, and the ecg stemi), and it is all because of their type 2 diabetes. Something that struck me was they said, I have been waiting for this day because of my health issues anyway. Really struck me and lead me to research what diabetes actually really is in terms of what else diabetes can do to a human body if not found out, controlled etc! Thank you for this video!
This is so cool. I love your videos my friend was diagnosed with t1d were sugars were in the 700s and she had cataracts then loosing weight then she got it. She is fine now because of the doctors. She was 15 at diagnosis
@@ViolinMD ohhhh my God it's really shocking that you replied to my comment 😳😳. thank you and plz make videos like this .we really appreciate you and feel very Happy watching your videos♥️♥️♥️.
I was excited to see this as I have been a type 1 for 30 years already (since I was 3). Plus I also work in a diabetic clinic! Our clinic is run with several nurses and dietitian as well as Internal Med Specialist and an Endocrinologist. We even have a family doctor who is a diabetologist! We also run Diabetes in pregnancy clinics as well as seeing type 1 and type 2 patients. There is a pediatric team of endos, RNs and RDs as well, but I don’t work as much with them. I wish we had better access and integration of a psychologist and social worker with our program. So many people need so much help in those areas, and it’s so hard to help someone manage their blood sugars when their mental health or their socioeconomic status are the bigger concern. I have learned so much about myself and my diabetes from working in this clinic. I truly feel I was meant to be where I am. I unfortunately have retinopathy and just underwent a vitrectomy to fix a detaching retina. Thankfully all went well and my vision is perfect. Diabetes is hard and many ppl just don’t understand how every little thing can affect your blood sugar. Stress, being super excited, having a cold, a crappy sleep, a 10 minute walk, etc. All those things can make blood sugar go high, or drop low and it’s tough to deal with some days. But if people utilize clinics like this and tap in to the resources that are there for them, they can get a lot of support and people with diabetes need support whether you admit it or not! Great video, take care and Merry Christmas and all the best in 2020!!
Accidentally found u a couple of days ago and really glad I did. In the 80's I finished first year MS and discovered I was unhappy. Quit and clept into a nursing program. Retired this year after 33 years and do not regret my choice. I'm very much hands on and people centered. Loved my time with my patients. So good to see this next generation as they move along into their learning. Ur amazing and I'm certain u will have a fulfilling and exciting career. Back to watching ur videos. Oh and whoever does ur editing is doing a great job.
I'm pre - diabetic , so this video was super interesting . It's also interesting to me that ( according to my doctor ) I'm at a healthy weight & yet all I ever hear about is diabetes and obesity .
mmmm yes i can imagine that must be frustrating. There's definitely more to it (like certain genetic links), even though for the majority of people, it is linked with obesity
You can develop type 1 diabetes as an adult but it tends to be misdiagnosed as type 2. My friend, Aunt, and my cousin were all misdiagnosed with type 2.
Please read Dr Jason Fung, the Diabetes Code and the Obesity Code books. You can stop you disease from progressing. I did not know any better so I became a type 2 diabetic. Educate yourself now and not through this sweet, although misinformed doc on type 2.
Do your own research. Almost everything you have been told about diet is wrong. Obesity is a side effect, not the cause. Every time you eat a carbohydrate your blood sugar increases, then insulin is released to control the sugar, and the excess sugar is stored as fat. The frequency of this process can cause insulin resistance resulting in Type II diabetes. You can eliminate carbohydrates from your diet and that will resolve the need to control Type II diabetes and pre-diabetes caused by insulin resistance.
You are such a thoughtful and empathetic person. You are seriously such a great doctor and I love watching your videos. You always have that spark of excitement in you and I hope you will never lose it. I wish you were a doctor I could be working with!!! (I am a nurse)
Meditation is one of my all-time favorite pieces of music! I played it in high school as a flute solo, and I still love to return to it over ten years later.
these speciality rotations are so interesting!! i love that you explain everything so in detail but that it all makes sense. your videos are my favorite! happy holidays!!!
Hi Shevonne, i’m type one diabetic and just entered med school (1st year). Thank you for describing the life of a person living with t1d because people can’t understand how struggling it could be sometimes!❤️ you’re inspirational!
As a T1D myself, although living in Germany, it really intrigued me to see other countries approach of handling the therapy and appointments. And yup, sometimes stress in school is actually heavily connected to my blood sugars so I'm glad that my 670 Medtronic got approved and I'll get it end of january
It’s so nice to so someone try’s to teach people about the difference from type one and type two, it can be really irritating when people make assumptions. I’m a type one and a inspiring doctor I think all you contend amazing !!
This was super interesting to me! i had a brain tumor growing into my eye-socket. Went under a major surgery to remove as much of it as possible, only to be told a year later that it had started to grow again and i needed radiation therapy. So now because of how the radiation was aimed i have to have my hormone levels checked once a year at the endocrinology clinic for the next 5-10 years.
I have type one diabetes and I was diagnosed at four and now I’m thirteen, thank you for talking about it! Thank you for discussing the differences between the types of diabetes, I wish they had different names. I also play the cello!
I’m a Type 1 Diabetic! Diagnosed at 15 months old, I’ve had it for 22 years now. Loved watching this video and the way you describe the types of diabetes! Especially since many people don’t understand the difference
It made me so happy to see you still playing violin! I just graduated with my Bachelor of Music and I'm planning on going to medical school in the next couple of years, so you have been a large inspiration to me :)
I wanted to take the time to say "thank you". I have a lot of anxiety about my health and have two chronic conditions to manage: congenital adrenal hyperplasia and rheumatoid arthritis. Your videos have not only been very informative and helpful to me but also its good to see someone so passionate about these fields of medicine who is so compassionate and thorough. Im currently doing monthly infusions for my RA and seeing someone care about the field so much makes me hopeful about remission and far less anxious during my treatment
I used to play violin, I only played for 8 years but I was convinced I would strive to be a performer. I gave it up in college because I didn't enjoy public commute with my instrument, I felt like it was taking a terrifying risk on a daily basis. Your playing is so beautiful and it makes me miss playing so much ❤
We will follow your advice. From now on, we will try to stand and move when we watch your videos. My daughter and I love to learn from you. You are her hero!
Just want to say, thank you for your videos. Not only are they educational, but it also gives people a small window into what goes on behind the curtains. Keep it up!
I love how you gave a little shout out to the dietitian. I am currently going to school to become one and it’s so exciting when physicians acknowledge our presence in the medical field and appreciate it
I'm so happy you filmed your endo rotation! I'm a first year med student and I'm interested in endocrinology so it was great to see what it's like for this specialty in the hospital. Love your content, looking forward to more! ❤🔥
very interesting. I love how informative you make the videos even though you can't show what you do with patients. I would love to see that but I know the headaches you'd have to go through. Good luck with the talent show. Happy holidays and happy new year.
mmmm yes exactly, patient confidentiality is critical! But i will try to do some more patient interviews in the future.. it is really the heart of medicine!
People with type 1 amaze me! I’m a middle school cheer coach and one of my girls has T1 and she is incredible! She has a pump but monitors close and knows her body so well. It’s so impressive to see a 13 year old have so much awareness of her body’s needs
I’ve had a Bariatric Bypass and my type 2 diabetes has literally turned around. No more insulin. But I still have a watch my sugars which is why I still take my BSLs between 8-20 times a day. I don’t drive when sugars r less that 5. Ty to the fabulous drs that gave me the chance to turn it around with having the BB. Ty for ur education. Very informed. Why I’ve subbed and will continue to watch.
You honestly are an amazing human type. You inspire me to look at situations when it comes to medical stuff differently. I’m like a non nonsense person lol 😝 so I say things as they are and don’t always get a good response. You have a way of saying things without making the person feel bad. That in it self is a gift. 🙏🤗
I’m insulin resistant with an eating disorder to we’re I overeat and I have bipolar disorder with PCOS . So much fun 🤦🏽♀️😢Thanks Doc I needed this info. I need to turn my life around.
What about all the other types of diabetes...? I have MODY 3 (hnf1a) diabetes. It's a genetic form- which for me, varies so much from day to day. I use an insulin pump and a dexcom. There arent just two types, and it is so important that people learn this.
When I got an email this morning that you posted I squealed and opened youtube ASAP because your videos are the best! And we got the bonus today of hearing your beautiful violin playing!! Watching your enthusiasm in your videos makes me so happy and your positivity is contagious!
I want to be a doctor and hearing about the time commitment made me pretty discouraged because I don't think I can give up playing all of my instruments. Thank you for talking about your upcoming performance and playing in the video, it's pretty reassuring (and it sounded really good 🎻) 🙂
I have been a diabetic for 7 years, and I currently struggle with this every day. I was diagnosed when I was 15. I am a type 1. It's so hard because you crave so many foods. But I am trying my best to have a good a1c. After my first semester of college, I got real bad DKA, went into a coma for a week plus, and had kidney failure that turned into dialysis as well as a bacterial infection. I almost died. It's scary but I been way better on what I eat. And now I am continuing college going to become an ICU nurse. And hopefully a nurse practitioner in the future. You are so inspiring, thank you.
Thank you for this! I have Type One Diabetes. I’m almost 20 and I’ve had it since I was 5. Idk life without it lol. Thank you for helping spread awareness on Diabetes! Made me really happy. I also have an insulin pump and CGM. Diabetes is hard both mentally and physically. You explained it so well!
I wish all doctors had a handwriting like you have. Me being a nurse would love to have more doctors like you. You are kind, think about the rest of the staff on the floor, and you have a good handwriting🥰
Great video. I love your approach to type 1 diabetes and how you do a consult. I've had type 1 since the age of 3 (dx in 1979) and have seen Al advances in technology. Currently using a Medtronic 640G insulin pump and a Libre sensor. A1C is 5,6%. Unfortunately I have got some complications from the days control wasn't that good. I love to see medical students and residents approach a disease like diabetes differently than it used to by doctors and nurses. And people in general. That really helps. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and the ones you love from the Netherlands. Frederike.
I have type 1 diabetes and hypothyroidism. When I was first diagnosed with diabetes when I was 12 (I'm now 30) it was super hard to get a handle of! Now it's much less of an issue. I haven't had an A1c above 7 in about 10 years and compete in weightlifting. Really cool seeing the doctor side of endocrinology!
Could you do a follow-up video to this talking more in detail about diabetic symptoms and what people who don't have diabetes should know for the sake of helping other people? I have a handful of friends who have diabetes and obviously they know how to deal with it themselves but I'd like to know more about what I can/should do in case something bad happens
Purple Fire 28 the best thing you can do is ask your friends what they would like you to do in a situation where they may need help. But generally, if a diabetic is having a low blood sugar, that is a situation that could turn very serious very quickly, so it is important to treat it right away. Signs may include a person feeling shaky or tingly. They could have a really bad headache or feel really hungry all of the sudden. If they seem confused or almost like they are drunk, they could be having a low. A low needs to be treated with fast acting sugar. Many diabetics carry Dex 4 sugar tablets with them, but not all do so something like juice or regular pop or sugar cubes would work too. Again it’s best to check with your friends and ask them what they would want you to know about their diabetes and how they might want you to help 🙂
It depends on if your friends are Type 1 or Type 2 diabetics. Type 1 are more likely to suffer from hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) when they are sick/ill or simply not managing their diabetes properly, or if they run out of insulin to give themselves. Type 2 have less trouble with these type of things, usually, but when there's a complication it's often due to dehydration. In any case, say one of your friends is having an episode of hypoglycemia. The signs to look for would be: they are behaving sort of like a drunk person (confused, emotionally unstable, dizzy, unable to walk straight), and they will often exhibit signs that are similar to a person going into shock (cold/clammy skin, breathing fast, heart rate through the roof). In these instances they should consume something high carb that will work quickly to bring their blood sugar back up. It's best to pair the high carb snack with some protein (if I remember correctly from nursing school). So, you can give them some fruit juice or a piece of candy with some deli meat or other protein on hand. I think crackers and peanut butter is also acceptable. I just remember learning that you shouldn't give them a ton of carbs because it could cause the opposite problem, and switch their hypoglycemia to hyperglycemia.
One of the simplest things you can do is realise that a low blood sugar needs glucose and a high needs insulin. That often gets confused! If your friend is acting drunk or out of character, it can be a hypo! I’d gone shopping one day and a man was unsteady on his feet, slurring his words and asking for coke. The staff were trying to understand and eventually he couldn’t talk at all anymore. It took one quick look at his arm and I got them to grab him sugar ASAP and call an ambulance. They just thought he was a homeless drunk 💔 but I can see how they came to that conclusion. He was okay, but was so embarrassed the poor guy.
He was wearing a continuous glucose monitor, I re read that and realised I hadn’t explained lol! Hypers ( too high ) can make us thirsty, cranky and super tired. It feels really yuck!
DR. SIOBBHAN, You are an incredible person, an inspiration to many, with incredible talents. The positivity you bring is infectious. In this session, you offer great advice to diabetics. Thank you for what you do for everyone. Terrific show!
I love your videos! I cant wait to hopefully in the future become a doctor myself! Your videos help me get a feel to what it would be like to work in the hospital! btw I have a lot of experience with an endocrinologist as I have thyroid problems.
My goodness where do you get all that energy from, I would collapse if my sleep was interrupted at night, and my days were so busy. such an amazing personality and dedication you have.You are so suitable for your Job.🏅🏆🏅
I can prescribe you to Doctor Oseiwe who cured me from Diabetes and Asthma, you can also get in touch with him on TH-cam channel Doctor Oseiwe, if you need help and be cured completely🇱🇷❣️.
Thanks for the video Violin/Chavyonne/Siobhan (Hope those are spelled right)! You're one of the few peeps on here that I actually manually look up to check to see if you've uploaded (I do that daily, just in case haha), because your content is great and a very unique channel. I feel like I know you LOL. Please keep the videos coming, hope everything goes well for you DR-wise, and keep up the great work. Amazing job, every time. IDK if that's work ethic or what, but you're very good at putting out high-quality videos :P Much support and much love -- Thx again Violin/Chavyonne/Siobhan :D Luv ya!
So excited to hear you mention a transsphenoidal pituitary surgery! I had this surgery in 2016 for cushings disease. It’s such an easy surgery to recover from. Modern medicine is just incredible, isn’t it?!
I’d love to see this video again with a few more types of diabetes! I’m type 1 myself but was thought to have type 3C initially. Endocrinology is a fascinating area and I had no idea just how much they do at first. Have a lovely Christmas xxoo
This video is just so timely. Went to a doctor last week to be tested for thyroid and turns out I’m hyper. Sucks because there’s so much restrictions now but I have to deal with it to heal quicker. Hope you could do more on Endo rotation. More power & my sister is also a doctor
So she
*seems super nice and friendly
*probably really smart
* has a great job

Not used to see her video without the “Beep Beep “ Sound of the pager..
haha TRUE! well if you missed that... it will be in the next call video haha
Beep, beep, what?
@@Vatsek The pager
Omg i didnt even notice that!
Woooooooooo pager time, I wanna see more codes, like reenactment vidioes of the medical codes, like drama.
I can still remember when our little Siobhan was saying that she's a first-year medical resident. She grew up so fast!
on 13 of july she will be 4. year if I am right! :D
Now she’s a 4th year!
Yes yes god feels like she was med student just a day ago lol

I’ve had a Bariatric Bypass and my type 2 diabetes has literally turned around. No more insulin. But I still have a watch my sugars which is why I still take my BSLs between 8-20 times a day. I don’t drive when sugars r less that 5. Ty to the fabulous drs that gave me the chance to turn it around with having the BB. Ty for ur education. Very informed. Why I’ve subbed and will continue to watch.
You honestly are an amazing human type. You inspire me to look at situations when it comes to medical stuff differently. I’m like a non nonsense person lol 😝 so I say things as they are and don’t always get a good response. You have a way of saying things without making the person feel bad. That in it self is a gift. 🙏🤗
I’m insulin resistant with an eating disorder to we’re I overeat and I have bipolar disorder with PCOS . So much fun 🤦🏽♀️😢Thanks Doc I needed this info. I need to turn my life around.
What about all the other types of diabetes...? I have MODY 3 (hnf1a) diabetes. It's a genetic form- which for me, varies so much from day to day. I use an insulin pump and a dexcom. There arent just two types, and it is so important that people learn this.
When I got an email this morning that you posted I squealed and opened youtube ASAP because your videos are the best! And we got the bonus today of hearing your beautiful violin playing!! Watching your enthusiasm in your videos makes me so happy and your positivity is contagious!
what about a collab with dr. mike? i think it will be fun... Violin MD with Dr. Mike😊
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
@@ellierue5023 up! haha
You think she has time for that?
Love your videos sioban, definitely get some inspiration from you for my channel! ❤
I want to be a doctor and hearing about the time commitment made me pretty discouraged because I don't think I can give up playing all of my instruments. Thank you for talking about your upcoming performance and playing in the video, it's pretty reassuring (and it sounded really good 🎻) 🙂
I have been a diabetic for 7 years, and I currently struggle with this every day. I was diagnosed when I was 15. I am a type 1. It's so hard because you crave so many foods. But I am trying my best to have a good a1c. After my first semester of college, I got real bad DKA, went into a coma for a week plus, and had kidney failure that turned into dialysis as well as a bacterial infection. I almost died. It's scary but I been way better on what I eat. And now I am continuing college going to become an ICU nurse. And hopefully a nurse practitioner in the future. You are so inspiring, thank you.
This is so awesome, I've been a subscriber for a while but this is actually the clinic my mom works out of! She's one of the Nurse Clinicians
oh really?? wow small world!
Do they have nurse practitioners in Canada?
I have type one and I’m so sick of people getting one and two confused but thanks for posting this video!!
She is one of the best doctors to watch at!
Thank you for this! I have Type One Diabetes. I’m almost 20 and I’ve had it since I was 5. Idk life without it lol. Thank you for helping spread awareness on Diabetes! Made me really happy. I also have an insulin pump and CGM. Diabetes is hard both mentally and physically. You explained it so well!
Being type one it was great to see that she explained the two different types people think their the same!
Thanks for yet another fascinating and informative video. Seeing you play your violin was awesome too!
aw thanks so much Megan!
I wish all doctors had a handwriting like you have. Me being a nurse would love to have more doctors like you. You are kind, think about the rest of the staff on the floor, and you have a good handwriting🥰
I work as a Practice Coordinator in an Endocrinology Clinic and this was very interesting to watch. Thank you for sharing!
Great video. I love your approach to type 1 diabetes and how you do a consult. I've had type 1 since the age of 3 (dx in 1979) and have seen Al advances in technology. Currently using a Medtronic 640G insulin pump and a Libre sensor. A1C is 5,6%. Unfortunately I have got some complications from the days control wasn't that good. I love to see medical students and residents approach a disease like diabetes differently than it used to by doctors and nurses. And people in general. That really helps. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and the ones you love from the Netherlands. Frederike.
I have type 1 diabetes and hypothyroidism. When I was first diagnosed with diabetes when I was 12 (I'm now 30) it was super hard to get a handle of! Now it's much less of an issue. I haven't had an A1c above 7 in about 10 years and compete in weightlifting. Really cool seeing the doctor side of endocrinology!
Could you do a follow-up video to this talking more in detail about diabetic symptoms and what people who don't have diabetes should know for the sake of helping other people? I have a handful of friends who have diabetes and obviously they know how to deal with it themselves but I'd like to know more about what I can/should do in case something bad happens
Purple Fire 28 the best thing you can do is ask your friends what they would like you to do in a situation where they may need help. But generally, if a diabetic is having a low blood sugar, that is a situation that could turn very serious very quickly, so it is important to treat it right away. Signs may include a person feeling shaky or tingly. They could have a really bad headache or feel really hungry all of the sudden. If they seem confused or almost like they are drunk, they could be having a low. A low needs to be treated with fast acting sugar. Many diabetics carry Dex 4 sugar tablets with them, but not all do so something like juice or regular pop or sugar cubes would work too. Again it’s best to check with your friends and ask them what they would want you to know about their diabetes and how they might want you to help 🙂
It depends on if your friends are Type 1 or Type 2 diabetics. Type 1 are more likely to suffer from hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) when they are sick/ill or simply not managing their diabetes properly, or if they run out of insulin to give themselves. Type 2 have less trouble with these type of things, usually, but when there's a complication it's often due to dehydration. In any case, say one of your friends is having an episode of hypoglycemia. The signs to look for would be: they are behaving sort of like a drunk person (confused, emotionally unstable, dizzy, unable to walk straight), and they will often exhibit signs that are similar to a person going into shock (cold/clammy skin, breathing fast, heart rate through the roof).
In these instances they should consume something high carb that will work quickly to bring their blood sugar back up. It's best to pair the high carb snack with some protein (if I remember correctly from nursing school). So, you can give them some fruit juice or a piece of candy with some deli meat or other protein on hand. I think crackers and peanut butter is also acceptable. I just remember learning that you shouldn't give them a ton of carbs because it could cause the opposite problem, and switch their hypoglycemia to hyperglycemia.
Thank you for the advice!
One of the simplest things you can do is realise that a low blood sugar needs glucose and a high needs insulin. That often gets confused! If your friend is acting drunk or out of character, it can be a hypo! I’d gone shopping one day and a man was unsteady on his feet, slurring his words and asking for coke. The staff were trying to understand and eventually he couldn’t talk at all anymore. It took one quick look at his arm and I got them to grab him sugar ASAP and call an ambulance. They just thought he was a homeless drunk 💔 but I can see how they came to that conclusion. He was okay, but was so embarrassed the poor guy.
He was wearing a continuous glucose monitor, I re read that and realised I hadn’t explained lol! Hypers ( too high ) can make us thirsty, cranky and super tired. It feels really yuck!
DR. SIOBBHAN,
You are an incredible person, an inspiration to many, with incredible talents. The positivity you bring is infectious. In this session, you offer great advice to diabetics. Thank you for what you do for everyone. Terrific show!
My sister just got diagnosed with diabetes type one and she is 24 and she is managing fine now. It was really bad but I’m so glad she is alive.
I love your videos! I cant wait to hopefully in the future become a doctor myself! Your videos help me get a feel to what it would be like to work in the hospital! btw I have a lot of experience with an endocrinologist as I have thyroid problems.
My goodness where do you get all that energy from, I would collapse if my sleep was interrupted at night, and my days were so busy. such an amazing personality and dedication you have.You are so suitable for your Job.🏅🏆🏅
Hearing the violin just warmed my heart and made my day so much better. It made me wanna play mine honestly😁❤️
You playing the violin was so beautiful ❤️
A huge portion of my family has diabetes. This is really cool to see. Sometimes I go with my mom or aunt to their doctor who treats their diabetes.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Siobhan! x

IDK if that's work ethic or what, but you're very good at putting out high-quality videos :P Much support and much love -- Thx again Violin/Chavyonne/Siobhan :D Luv ya!
Jeffery Harris if you ‘subscribe’ to her channel and click ‘notifications’ you won’t need to check every day!
So excited to hear you mention a transsphenoidal pituitary surgery! I had this surgery in 2016 for cushings disease. It’s such an easy surgery to recover from. Modern medicine is just incredible, isn’t it?!
As soon as I saw this video I clicked on it because I know lots about diabetes clinic since I have type 1 diabetes
Hi Nicholas - oh wow yes you are probably super familiar with endocrinology!!
same i have type 1 diabetes my self this video will help alot of people understand the difference between type 1 and 2
I have Type 1 Diabetes as well. I love learning about diabetes and all the new things that are coming out.
both can happen later in life
Me too! I'm there monday lol definetly know alot about clinic
you are a very friendly person and you play the violin so great.i gave you a perfect 10.
I'm in my final year of medschool. I love endocrinology, it's super fun to read.
I’d love to see this video again with a few more types of diabetes! I’m type 1 myself but was thought to have type 3C initially. Endocrinology is a fascinating area and I had no idea just how much they do at first. Have a lovely Christmas xxoo
I loved hearing you play. It was beautiful
aw thanks Jill!
This video is just so timely. Went to a doctor last week to be tested for thyroid and turns out I’m hyper. Sucks because there’s so much restrictions now but I have to deal with it to heal quicker. Hope you could do more on Endo rotation. More power & my sister is also a doctor
I hope you’re able to squeeze some family time in over the holidays, thanks for all the videos
I always get soooo excited when I see that you’ve uploaded a new video! You are amazing, Siobhan!
You are awesome! Footage of you typing could almost cure anxiety and footage of you playing your violin could almost cure depression lol🧡
You are an unbelievably incredible person… wow you inspire me!!!!!!
Love the meditation from Thaïse. Amazing job with that!!💕💕💕💕💕
Her smile makes my day better
