here's an update on my 3 month diabetes anniversary th-cam.com/video/5SuA1lhYdOo/w-d-xo.html
You barely could talk or breathe it seemed like it was all your strength just to talk, you definitely was in Dka, I was told when my sugars are slightly off my Friend s said I slurr my words, I was told that I had the flu for 2 weeks, I thought I was going into a big flare up, I was also drinking alot, lost weight and was told if I wouldn't have went to work instead of home, I wouldn't. Be telling this story, my stubbornness saved My life
I'm also Diabetic, I was diagnosed 14 years ago on 8-6-09
Wow…so scary at the end. I’m so glad you are ok. I was just diagnosed with diabetes on Monday this week. I went to Walmart and got one of their cheap reli on glucose meters. I had been feeling weird and am at a greater risk because it runs in the family and I had it while pregnant. So I decided to start testing and had some really high readings, I made an appointment right away and they got me right in. I kept really good track of everything. Sugar levels, what I ate, any medications and when I took them. They were able to diagnose it very quickly. My glucose levels were about 172 fasting. They want it to be about 100 or less in the mornings.
Crazy how when we get sick before diagnosis people even start slurring their words. It progresses so quickly
I was diagnosed in 2005, I was 5 years old so I don't remember too much about my diagnosis and absolutely nothing before. Thank you for sharing this, I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I am glad someone was able to get this recorded since it is so unexpected.
don’t worry, i feel the same! it’s definitely interesting to look back on haha
i showed it to my gynaecologist and he thought it was interesting too lol
thank you for this vlog! its crazy how many symptoms we can write off until something awful happens i relate sooo much to this entire video and im also an asian girl. i hope your're doing better now post-diagnosis! i have prediabetes right now.
Yeah, I had a bunch of symptoms of it but my parents didn't think anything of it because I was 9 at the time and they thought I was just having a growth spurt, I was never diagnosed as pre-diabetic when I went into the ER they did the blood work and stuff and diagnosed me as type 1 diabetic.
good for you for deciding to take yourself to the ER when you did and for having a friend with you. imagine if you waited till Monday or just convinced yourself it was the flu or something else that would just pass.
yeah, it definitely could’ve gotten really bad...
My parents won’t take my seriously when I show them my hands shaking when I tell them I go to the bathroom a ton and drink so so so much and am so tired what do I do I can’t even drive
I have Diabetes for 11 years since I was 10 😢and very scary finding out your diagnosis 😢❤ I hope you are doing okay you are not alone 😢
wow this is a lot like my week before diagnosis, couldn’t focus at all and was just constantly tired no matter how much I slept. I didn’t crave water I craved like juice,fizz,orange juice (and I hate oarnge juice) any thing that was liquid with flavor pretty much. my skin was super splotchy and I was just sooo sick and didn’t even know how bad it was
wow, you’re one of the first people i’ve heard who has had the same symptoms as me
i’m glad you got through it and i hope you’re doing a lot better now!
sarah priscilla yeah , I’ve always met people who had craved water and just the common stuff
Diagnosed a little over 2 weeks ago with type 1, same symptoms! 3 days in hospital.
I was diagnosed the end of May 2020, so I’m only a couple of months in myself so I can relate to how you are feeling in some of these early videos you have done about your diagnosis. They will be really helpful to anyone newly diagnosed!
My personal story is of the classic symptoms of extreme thirst and constantly going to the toilet (I was getting up 4-5x during the night to pee!!). I was also really tired and just before diagnosis was struggling to concentrate. I think because the symptoms happen gradually, not like one day your fine then the next you have all these symptoms, you almost get used to them? My symptoms started just as we were going in to lock down in the UK. I work as a nurse and had also just been redeployed to ITU from my usual role, so again I put a lot of my symptoms of fatigue and poor concentration down to being stressed, in a new role etc etc. However eventually even I realised that something was really wrong. I did a urine dipstick test on one of my frequent trips to the bathroom, but this was more to cross diabetes off my list of possible causes of my symptoms. Surprise surprise, the urine dipstick was immediately positive for sugar in the urine. Doctors appointment made for next day and blood sugar was recorded as 30mmol/l and HbA1c as 122!! Luckily I managed to catch it before DKA though!
Now on MDI and getting used to this new normal. It’s a challenge, it’s different but hey life goes on right!
Hope you are doing well and are smashing your university course!
oh wow! i’m glad you caught it before things got really bad! it’s definitely tough adjusting to everything, but you got this! i wish you the best of luck as well :)
omg the eyes part SAME it was so bad i couldn't keep my eyes open and how ur voice changed over time literally the same thing happened to me it was a nightmare lmao
I’m scared i might be sick and never know, the thing is all these symptoms are my day to day, ive always been extremely tired and thirsty and get tired easily. Im not really a productive person so I can’t tell the difference. I don’t think my parents believe their kid can be sick unless my symptoms are severe and it’s irritating me
i get that, it’s hard to know if things are bad if you can’t remember what “normal” feels like
if you think somethings wrong, i would talk to your parents about going to the doctor just to check and make sure. it’s better to be safe than sorry, and if something is wrong it’s super important to get the treatment you need!
went through this but not for 2 weeks i was like this for 3 to 4 month or even more
My brother slowly deteriorated all the way. April of 2020. I miss him.
this is pretty similar to how mine went too. i was diagnosed a week ago.
wow, hope you’re doing better now!
Marin Rose woah I hope you’re okay! How was it being diagnosed during quarantine?
So I am having a couple symptoms. But everyone at school knows me as the “ broken girl” because since 3rd grade every year I have had a broken bone (it’s okay I think it’s funny too lol) but I’m “always” at the doctor and I don’t want them to think I’m self diagnosing or anything. But I was so close to passing out in English and was scared to get up because I know I would have passed out if I didn’t force myself out of it. Idk tell me what to do ig thanks
i’m not a doctor or medical professional in anyway, so my advice would be to go to someone who knows what they’re talking about. it’s better to be safe than sorry so if i were you, i would just go to the doctor and tell them what’s going on! you don’t have to say what you suspect, just let them know your symptoms and hopefully they can help you out
How are you now?
@@elizabethl3470 it’s gotten better at sometimes but worse others
Um Ik I’m late but like... I’ve been experiencing all of these symptoms and my grandmother is convinced I’m a diabetic but my parents think I’m being a hypochondriac and don’t want to take me to the dr because of covid. But I am miserable and it is hard for me to get out of bed to do my class work I really don’t know what to do😞
i was in Coma for 3 days and in IcU. . stick to your gut.
morgan alyse S go to the doctor please!!!
Well did you go to the doctor? Cause I was in DKA and stuff too
I went to the drs and they had me measure my glucose levels and wear a heart monitor. Turns out it was rlly bad anxiety that would cause me to have rlly weird attacks and be in a daze afterwards. I am not on medication for it and am doing much better
@@josiea3966 Glad you don't have type 1
Hi, Sarah!
Did you also feel like someone was sitting on your shoulders in the last clip where you were short of breath? A feeling like your chest is heavy along with your shoulders.
Please stay safe and healthy going forward!
My son ( 11) got the diagnosis this december, before senere symptomes though. Only eccesive thirst luckaly. He was to the doctor for some ADHD follow up - and I mentioned to the doctor hes thirst, thats hpw wr found out early and before dka❤
I went to the hospital for 3 days before that I was always on the couch I only got up to pee which I did a lot. My mouth was so dry no matter how much water I drank. I would wake up with pus and blood in my mouth from my dry mouth and my gums were infected from the high blood sugar. Everytime I would get up I would start breathing like I just ran or something. I was lightheaded all the time and I was always hungry. 2 month before all of this is when I started having extreme thirst and dry mouth and excessive urination. July 21 2020 was when I went to the hospital and found out I had diabetes. Even though they knew I was in DKA they didn't know if I was type 1 or 2, but Im type 1 I found out I had type 1 aug 6th. During all of this I lost 40 pounds.
My blood sugar was 692 btw lol
wow that’s crazy! i’m glad you got your diagnosis before anything worse happened. i hope you’re doing better now :)
@@sarahpriscilla_ I am I do the daily injection and stuff. Im glad I didn't go into a coma or anything. I also had the kussmal breaths I couldn't breathe either. Im glad you didn't get as bad as me. Love your channel btw! ❤
Sore stinging dry throat and stil dealing with it a year into healing some days are worse then others.like a cigarette was pt out there
My symptoms wer getting worse.a1c was 16
hey. i know its been a while since you have posted this video. i am a fellow type 1 person and I hope you feel better :)
ah thank you! i’ve been super busy with school which is why i haven’t posted in a while, but i’m hoping to get back into it this summer
Is anxiety a symptom I’ve had these weird symptoms. Liver pain, fatigue, yellow face always thirsty and last but not least really bad brain fog and anxiety. I also only grace orange juice I can drink 2l in a day and still thirty af.
Any better?
So a little update. I bought a home diabetes test and after eating it was 5.9m/mol. So I’m not diabetic still have all these weird symptoms. If anyone can give me any illness that I can test for I would really appreciate it because I’m living in a mini hell.
Jasmine j I would ask to do a test for anemia or something like that tell your doctor your symptoms and they could check to rule out anything else hope you feel better soon 😊
i’m not a medical professional, so if i were you i’d go to see a doctor, if that’s a viable option for you. i hope you figure out what’s wrong soon and i wish you the best!
@@jasminej2844 Ur are having liver disease.better to go for LFT aka liver function test. don't take it lightly u will be in big trouble. Approach a physician or ER as soon as possible.
Sarah are you type 1 or 2?
Similar for me, except add vomiting and constant peeing bathroom or not, then diabetic coma.
Here's how you cure your T1 diabetes: kidding....
I was diagnosed 1/18/1985, just after my 17th birthday. Had my 39th anniversary with T1 earlier this year. It most certainly fk's up your life! Those plans you thought you'd have: well nature thought otherwise. Good luck to you with your engineering field! I have a BSEE emphasizing CPU design, but do statistics for a living.
Rice & Pasta is really bad for Diabetes it turns into glucose very quickly.not if she is Typ1or T2 she doesn’t use insulin probably Type 2
I’d she Type 1 she doesn’t tell us
Her snacks were not good
i have no idea who you are
