@type1awareness Ah, didn’t think about that, still i really liked this video, well done

@Diabeteshelp2010 I think we’re comparing different units of measures. I’m talking about mg/dl (American system as I understand it), and you’re probably talking about mmol/l. For instance, 594 mg/dl = 33 mmol/l.

Loved your video. What an honor to your son as well as educating the general public. I’ve been Type 1 for almost 28 years-it’s been quite a ride.

Wonderful video…

@AldenPeffer There is no perfection in controlling type 1 diabetes only an earnest attempt to influence blood sugar management. Every minute, hour, and day is different influenced by so many factors some of which you can count and some of which you cannot count like stress level, hormones, the weather (lol), etc… This has been my observation from being involved with other families living with type 1 diabetes. Wishing you joy and good bg numbers Alden!

Just diagnosed with type 1, been at 17.1 according the the blood sugar test for three months, which is as far as it can date back. Is it normal for it to be going up to above 280 when I’m following the carb/sugar plan and insulin plan as instructed? Also, blurry vision – does it dissipate after the first week or sometime soon?

nice video. Both my sons were diagnosed in the same week. 15 and 10. I spend most of my time on the internet lookin up diabetes things. I always tell them i can fix anything but im strugglin with this. Hope a cure is round the corner. 15 and 10 years old but they are still my babies

i don’t get it i have most of these symptoms, but i got my blood checked and they said it was normal? sooo im confused :S

My son’s endo put him on an insulin pump right away to help him in blood sugar management. With ordering, insurance paperwork, and training he had it on within a few weeks of diagnosis. It’s an excellent tool.

really? my endocrinologist said I had to wait one year with normal A1Cs before I could go on it.

does diabeties lower life expectancy
August 26th, 2010 at 12:30 pm
Ive had diabetes for 4 years im 11 almost 12 and i got diagnosed when i was 6 (almost 7) and sometimes it is tough…. but you just have to live with it and hope for a cure and dont give up!! My dad is one of the top fundraisers in the country for the American Diabetes Association and weve been doing it for i think 4 years now… and we do the JDRF walk to cure diabetes… so my family is pretty involved! Just make sure you take care of yourself And live to the best of your ability

I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago,and yes leaving for college was very scary.The best thing to do is to sit and talk with your roomate/hallmates.Explain the disease and ask them to keep an eye you.If they are anything like my freshman year hallmates, they will worry about you more than you worry about you.
Call your parents often with updates. DON”T get lazy with checking your glucose levels, your true friends will wait for you before dinner and going to parties. And please be careful with alcohol.

Wow. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 14 years ago (I am 21 now) and my parents haven’t made me such touching Youtube video like this one. I may have a have a chat with them. LoL. I am glad your son is well because glucose levels that high are extremely dangerous. I give him my best wishes. Thank you for getting the message out about type 1. It means a lot to me for obvious reasons. Please continue what you are doing, its fantastic.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. I apologize my wording is not perfect. I do state it is an autoimmune disease.
