I was diagnosed in May this year and I remember laying in my hospital bed and watching every single piece of diabetes content I could find on my phone. This channel was truly so inspiring to me and helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. You’re an inspiration to this young diabetic and I hope I will be able to pay it forward someday and spread hope and positivity in the face of diabetes the way you did for me. Merry Christmas and thank you for all that you do!
I've had type 1 for 51 years it is very possible to live a healthy life ,very few issues I need to deal with at 67 years old , good luck be good ,and listen too good people like this lady
I also have T1D for 7 years I'm 62 now. There are some great meal delivery services that you can heat up or cook yourself that take only 30-45 minutes and have easy step by step instructions. I have tried a few different ones they are great. Factor Meals, Green Chef, Hello Fresh and Home Chef are my favorites.
I'm getting a pump next week. I'm new to type 1. It's very difficult for me . I appreciate all that you're doing for all of us who want to listen. Thanks so much.
Having Type 1 Diabetes can be stressful it affects your sleep and is an intrusion in your life everyday, only people who have it understands. Thank you Andrea for sharing. Wishing you a David a Merry Xmas and a Happy New for 2024! 💜
What a great post! I admire your positive outlook on managing your life with Type 1 Diabetes. Keep up the good work, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Thank you for also this post, Andrea!!!! What a wonderful cheerleader you are! I live by myself and know nobody D1....your sharing was great for me too...I am Going for it too, especially adding protein and healthy fat....by doing so, carb portions will automatically decrease and increase glucose stability! Happy holidays to you and all!
It is sooo lovely to see you back on TH-cam. Hoping you have a wonderful Christmas and that the craziness of the season is manageable!!! I’m going to stay up for New Years as well. I’ll be at a wedding reception for a friend who eloped in October! What fun!
You are my Christmas and New Year’s Gift! Sending love and gratitude to you for always coming through for all of us, your loyal followers. Merry Christmas and New Year! Can’t wait to see you soon!
Hey Andrea, I don't have diabetes, but I still feel like I found your channel at the right time. It was during the late fall, after Daylight Savings Time ended, and it started getting dark early. I've always struggled with the change from fall to winter, but seeing your smiling face and positive (but still realistic) attitude made it easier, so I've been watching your videos ever since. So, would it be weird if I subscribed? Also, I have to laugh about the watching TV and scrolling in bed thing, because I do that too, even though I know I shouldn't.
Oh my goodness this just made my day!! Please know how much your words above mean to me! It would be an honor to have you as a subscriber, not weird at all, it speaks to how open you are, that you would find this channel and take something so positive from it (my goodness thank you thank you!!!) also…don’t tell anyone but I may or may not be writing this from bed (can’t sleep so on my phone 🫣) gotta get it together!! But I’m so glad I didn’t get it together and saw your comment because that absolutely made my night/day/week and I shall now sleep soundly with the sweetest most uplifted dreams!!! Thank you so much for this- truly what a gift!!! Sending you joy and the biggest welcome hug and gratitude for being here! We’ll get through this winter together!!! 🩵🥹😘❤️
Thankyou so much, Andrea. That was great advice for any of us, at any time in our diabetic career. I have lived with Type 1 diabetes for over 50 years and my time in range is very good, but your videos and advice always teach me something. Most of all you inspire me to keep trying. Best wishes for a happy, healthy and safe year in 2024.
Not sure if you have room to do this in your home, we have our treadmill and recumbent bike setup to view the TV . I can either watch TV shows or TH-cam streams like yours or car building videos. This makes the exercise time go by quicker and don’t have to feel guilty sitting in front of TV doing nothing . I live in Northern Michigan so cold weather and snow keeps us indoors more in winter and it is easier to work out at home then drive more in bad weather than necessary, plus the time to go back and forth. Yoga is great exercise and good for my mind too. I wish you and your Hubby a Happy New year and days that you can forget you have diabetes for part of the day at least. I get them occasionally while having the perfect stack up of fun (distractions) and level glucose that doesn’t require any adjustments. 😊
Hello Andrea great video as usual, so inspiring. I finally got my dexcom so for me getting more time in range will definitely be a goal. I so wish that every T1D could have a semi close loop system as I believe that our lives would be so much better mentally as well as physically. Here’s hoping that day will come sooner rather than later. Happy new to you and good luck with the plan. Phil
I had Covey training today at work (From the book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People) and my diabetes management was one of my important goals so when I saw this video, it was great timing. I think I took just as many notes from your video. Hope you don't mind if I steal your mantra! Thanks!
Thanks for you video! I always look forward to seeing them. Yes, we look after ourselves and the time in range because that's what's the best way to live! My personal upper range limit ends at 8 or 9 however. 10 mmol is definitely too high for me personally. Xmas and new-year have no real special meaning to me: Live is easier by not feeling pressured to do special things on such pre-defined dates. If I want to go sleep early 31 December, I just go to bed early. Typically I go for long hikes on such days because these are vacation days and Switzerland is great for hiking (all forest / mountain paths can be freely accessed - even if they are privately owned), so no need for a gym.
Hi Andrea! I am not a fan of complicated cooking for diabetes, as I tend to get recipes that are easy. Because about lunchtime no choices always make my glucose go high. So i started making wraps in the air fryer, it’s so easy and so fun and it’s not bread and I usually have ham and salmon in mine. 😊
Thank you, Andrea, for sharing. I myself am going to try mto do better with my " self judgment ". I have my day where I'm in the zone, maintaining myself within the bracket the for no reason at all...I'm climbing up and hitting a 240 for really just no apparent reason!! When those days arrive (and they will) I'm going to practice and go a bit easier on myself. PS....I know the Spartans didn't make the Rose Bowl, but Michigan Wolverines did (Go Blue).I hope you and hubby are pulling for them!!
Hi Andrea, first of all, Happy Hollidays and a lot of success and courage to achieve your challenges! The sentece "we are our own care-takers", that is so true! Is something offen is not realized by poeple without diabetes, while it is the core off all of living with diabetes. There are not much things I got stress from, but beeing not in range is the most important for me, so I'm a bit a control freak on that. Prioterizing sleep is surely also a chalange for me. I'm to active in to much initiatives with as result that in many cases I have not enough time to have enough rest. But at the other side, it are all things that gives me also a lot of energy. But from time to time I need vacation from as well the job as those initiatives to reload my batteries. I work from home and to prevent to get from my bed after my computer and from my computer again in bed, having a walk or going cycling after the job is just essential to survive 😉 So I do that every day no matter how the weather is. You can dress against the cold and rain and with the right clothes I can enjoy that just as much as in beautiful weather. I hate gym. I need to be able to be outside in nature. Can recharge my batteries and mental well-being much better in the middle of nature than somewhere indoors. But everyone is different on that.
i hardly get 7 days out of a G7. mostly failures after 2 days and sensor loss. If I use the Lexcam G7 pre-cut patches because when you pull off the paper backing it would pull at the sensor and lower the lifetime of that sensor. what I did to get up to 8 days was to use the Lexcam G6 pre-cute patches (had leftover from G6) and then use Tergaderm roll 4 in wide. (3M Health Care 16004 Dressing, Transparent Film Roll, 4 in wide roll) The Lexcam G6 patches cover more area and when you apply it the shape covers most of the G7 sensor but that was not sufficient to keep it secure so I had to use Tergaderm and it is lasting beyond several "Brief sensor issues"
Thankyou for sharing this Gives otheres ideas as well..for the most part for me its just common sense...but do I do it?! Not always...always room for improvement and yes its non stop daily...Thanks again 😊
Andrea, Thankyou again for your wise and encouraging words. Sharron and I just want to wish you and David a very merry Christmas, and a happy new year 🙏. God Bless, Rex and Sharron ❤
My son uses tandem basal iq. The sleep is almost torture. The dexcom is often wrong and turning off insulin which means he goes high. His pump must have a magnet or something in it because when high it likes to sit on the 200 line and vibrates every 20-30 minutes as it moves up and down on that stupid line. Who can sleep when your pump wakes you every 30 minutes. Sometimes it does the same thing on the low side. And at bedtime, with compression errors, it is sometimes not even correct so treating the wrong blood sugar is a mistake. Checking with blood is a pain since you have to wake up even more to do that. I said all that to ask, how do you get sleep as a diabetic. I know it affects future blood sugars to not sleep but have no clue as to how to be allowed to sleep as a diabetic. He is exhausted.
There are several things that possible can help this, but I believe everybody have from time to time nights of less sleep becaus of dificulties in getting sugar in range. But possible following things can help to reduce that number of nights: - Attach the sensor in a place you don't sleep on often. If you lie on the sensor, it can indicate incorrectly low due to compression and the chance of this can be reduced. - When attach the sensor, give the code of the sensor, test next day with fingerstick and when there is a big difference, calibrate the sensor. You can reduce the wrong values a lot by callibrating. I have not much wrong readings. - When he correct regullary in the night in such a way that it result in low suggar, put him during sleep in sport modus so that he correct less agressive and avoid faster lows. - Discuss the readings with your diabetologe and check if it would be a good idea to change the profile during night so that you can result in better time in range as result It must be possible that most of the nights it go good or with much less interuptions then now. But as told before, from time to time I have also some terrible nights.
@@friedelpas5637 Thank you. Excellent advice. I especially think the one about calibrating with a blood check each morning is something he needs to add. I appreciate that you took the time to offer this excellent advice.
I had a question about pumps with my work I kinda need tube free but with my blood sugars they naturally go high and often bottom out at random times. Would a tub less pump pose sugar maintenance difficulties?
Great advice Andrea! I definitely have to cut down on the TV in bed as well 😂. Thanks so much for all of your videos this year and I hope you're having an amazing Christmas with straight CGM lines and a happy healthy mind with it all!
I hear you 10000%! I always look for pj bottoms with a good elastic waistband that I could clip it onto (I attached a stick on clip directly to my pump - you can get them on Amazon and see what I'm talking about in previous videos before I switched to the Omnipod 5 about a year ago). And I would always face the pump screen inwards. A lot of people also just leave it loose and have it "follow them around" but that never worked for me personally. I hope this helps! Take a look at my video about hiding my insulin pump too - in case any of those ideas would be helpful!! th-cam.com/video/-csDveXqR_c/w-d-xo.html
Because when you are asleep, you have no direct control over blood sugars. You are asleep, so you cannot check your blood sugars to see exactly where it is at. And being asleep, you cannot react to a high blood sugar by taking extra insulin or exercising. And if low, you cannot eat something to bring it up. You are relying 100% on the hybrid pump to keep your blood sugars at the correct level. Or if using a regular pump, that your basal pattern is perfect all night long. Or if using injections, that your basal insulin perfectly keeps you in range all night long. So 99% of the time, a diabetic will wake up once, twice, thrice during the night to check and or correct blood sugars.
@@russellseaton2014 I'm running now xDrip on my phone to connect with the sensor toghether with the connection with the pump. That can give you alarms when you go out of range. They give a very loud anoying alarm and keep it repeating until you react on. So in that way you will be awaken when it go out of range and so long it go good, you can sleeping the night long. Before I was running xDrip, there were several times that it was gone wrong because in the sleep I not hear the alarm of the pump and from the dexcom app. So stay sleeping, getting worser and then waked up by the paramedics in the morning because it was far too low. Got such situation about once a year before. The alarms off xDrip are much better and loader and keeping running so you always react on it or someone else at home and since then I never got such serious out of ranges anymore. Is also very usefull for other things, get spoken reading of your sugar level and trend. Very usefull when doing sport. Get then those readings in my ears by earbuds and so know very fast when I need extra sugar during sport without have to looking all the time to your pump. Many others have music in their ears when cycling, running or walking, I have my sensor readings in place. At least the better alarms give me at least much less stress during night and so most of the time better sleep, excepts in nights that it is not easy to manage sugar well.
Low & high blood glucose can make you feel awful / sick/ sore head or stomach. High bloods also make you need to go to the toilet. Lots of physical reactions can wake you as well as anxiety and device alarms
Hello what's the cause of Ur T1D, I was 15 months old baby when diagnosed with T1D today 46 years old, My cause of T1D Vitamin D Deficiency and Chicken Pox Virus. After Corona pandemic many cases of T1D have gone up including adult onset T1D cause Vitamin D Deficiency and Corona Virus/Vaccine. Vitamin D Deficiency weakens Our Immune System and luck factor might have contacted some virus. All the best n take care. 🙂🙂😁😁.
You briefly mentioned you plan to add more fats to your diet. Don't fats impact the effectiveness of insulin? Please be more specific on how eating more fats helps you stay in range.

Walking in the winter is tough. I invested in a walking pad. It's smaller then a treadmill

Hello, I was wondering if you are still using the Omnipod 5?
I am, yes!
I'm currently working on a tips and tricks video - will hopefully have it out next Sunday!
❤ Merry Christmas!!
I struggle with wearing my t slim pump to bed. As a women night clothes are not mostly made to wear a pump. Suggestions?
I hear you 10000%! I always look for pj bottoms with a good elastic waistband that I could clip it onto (I attached a stick on clip directly to my pump - you can get them on Amazon and see what I'm talking about in previous videos before I switched to the Omnipod 5 about a year ago).

She's Diabetic, how are your goals coming along thus far?
Why do you struggle with sleep? Nervous about blood sugars lows?
Struggling with sleep is just part of being an adult. 😂
Because when you are asleep, you have no direct control over blood sugars. You are asleep, so you cannot check your blood sugars to see exactly where it is at. And being asleep, you cannot react to a high blood sugar by taking extra insulin or exercising. And if low, you cannot eat something to bring it up.

So 99% of the time, a diabetic will wake up once, twice, thrice during the night to check and or correct blood sugars.
@@russellseaton2014 You wake yourself up up to three times every single night just to check on your blood sugar? That's some dedication.

You cant eat carb and starch and processed you better admit it sooner or later
