It must of been very hard to do this video and you have done a very good job of it, Well done. It may have helped more people than you think. and you do yourself a down it takes a beautiful person that cares about others to do this sort of thing. You stand tall in my eyes.
Very brave of you to record such a personal account. Well done for getting through the video and for your road to recovery. Best wishes with your health and future!
Very proud of you sharing your Diabetes Journey. It wasn’t fun seeing you go through all that at the time 😢so I know that doing this video will have been tough. You are and have always been beautiful inside and out 🤍 Lots of love xxxx
This is one of those videos that is incredibly tough to make, and it takes someone incredibly strong to discuss all of this. It's worth it even if it reaches one person who needs to hear what you have to say - I'm really proud to call you my friend right now 🤍
This was brave and moving! And surprising, for two reasons: first because I think you are both very beautiful and smart; and second because I did not know you have diabetes 1. I do too, but was not diagnosed before I was 52. I use Freestyle Libre 3, and it helps me a lot. My GMI is now 6,2%. Rune - Norwegian Leeds fan ❤️
I use freestyle libre 2 and it has changed my life completely. Wow 52 and diagnosed with T1 that must have really changed your life, i hope you are looking after yourself . 😊
Mental health is so poorly understood still. I suffer with chronic depression and complex PTSD, and you see the stigma surrounding it in the faces of others. I fully understand this video love. You have gained so much because of it, never lose sight of that. Take care of yourself. 💛💙
Wow definitely a video with a difference. Evie that was very powerful. Opening up like that took guts. I hope the effort and strength revealing yourself will help others. You are a remarkable woman. Always believe in yourself.
I told you some time ago that I do struggle to watch long videos. This 38.18min one took Karen and me nearly 90 minutes to finish watching. We were constantly pausing to discuss how we all have the same issues only for different reasons. The feelings of isolation, shame and the inability to cope. We cried and wanted to reach out and hug you and tell you we understand. Although we only know you from being on other Leeds United shows and now here, we are so proud of you for having the courage to share part of your story. It will help not only you but others. Karen didn't know what to say so this is a joint comment. Much love from our house to yours. xx
Thank you, also my next video is less than 25 minutes haha so hopefully it will take you less time to watch. Your support on this video in particular is really appreciated so i truly am grateful. :)
You, young lady, are one of the few who can hold an audience's attention, and that is something to be admired. The long videos, (on this channel) are not a problem.
a very moving video Evie and helpful to more people than you will know it brings life into focus I myself m suffering mental health problems and your message has helped me just make sure you keep up with your meds and stay positive for all of us especially your hubby and children you all have our support and admiration for your bravery
Evie, thank you so much for such a brave sharing of your experiences and life, and for allowing yourself to be vulnerable in front of so many people that you don't know. You are an inspiration! Massive good wishes to you and family going forward. We are very lucky to have you as a fantastic creator for the Leeds community.
Evie, I've always thought of you as a very well-informed and educated person. You are speaking out about your situation and condition. I've always said what's affecting me and my mind. Well done for sharing with us. You are amazing. Hopefully, this helps you 🙏
Thank you, it's taken a long time to feel confident enough to share my story, but I wish I had known someone who had struggled at the time and then I might not have felt so alone.
Unfortunately, it needs someone as special and brave as you to open up,then you realise how common people suffer in silence. Being a Leeds fan, you're with the best .
Firstly thank you very much for sharing this with us all its is obviously a difficult and private thing to talk about but did it wonderfully you should be incredibly proud of yourself im a diabetic retinopathy screener in Cheshire The majority of my type 1 patients were diagnosed as adults I have a few teen type 1 patients but they are not that common you are right. Thankfully the education for type 1 patients has improved a lot over time since you were diagnosed so diabetics can recognise the symptoms better and be supported better by health care professionals like myself. This has included some education (but not enough) on how the effects of diabetes has on a patient mental health. In my clinics I have leaflets and contact details for more support with coping and living with diabetes. With your permission I would like to share this video link with a few of my colleagues as the way speak about your personal journey with diabetes will definitely help other in a similar situation. Thank you again for sharing MOT
Thank you for such kind words. Yes that would be amazing, my main desire from making this video is to spread awareness of how exhausting it can be to simply exist at times (at least in my own personal journey)
Take my hat off to people like you, ren and anyone being transparent and bringing awareness to some taboo topics and helping others to get through their problems. Well done for speaking about your issues x
There is light within the darkness, there is darkness within the light. I've known a few adults diagnosed with D1. It's become quite common place. Eating disorders are very complex, I know, as I too have a lifetime of an eating disorder. There is strength in sickness, there is weakness too. Stay strong on the bad days and have fun on good ones.
Evie sweetheart. You are a strong and beautiful woman. It was very emotional watching this. You are so brave to put this out there to basically a bunch of strangers. Hopefully somebody who watches this can be helped with their problems. Your children are so lucky to have a mum like you. I enjoy watching your videos and watching your contributions on other channels. You have a wonderful personality and talk a lot of sense regarding Leeds United. Sending you and your family a lot of love. MOT.
You are a beautiful lady, please don't ever think you're not. You are one of the pretty girls (i would kill to look half as pretty as you), but you have to believe that yourself. Unfortunately, no one understands health issues, especially mental health problems, unless they are going through it themselves. Please take care of yourself. I'm always here for you, my friend.
Hi Evie, My daughter's type 1 diabetic. She got diagnosed when she was 5. She's nearly 12 now. Due to her diabetes she now has celiac disease. She's my little superstar, the way she goes through life with a smile on her face and a spring in her step. Hope you keep well.
I have so much respect for you as a parent having to cope with that. It has been my number 1 fear since becoming diabetic, that I would pass it on and watch my child struggle. Sending love to you and your rockstar daughter
@ That really means a lot Evie,thank you very much. If I ever see you at Elland Road. I will come over and let her say hello to you. You take care and keep on putting out great content. Your amazing. Take care. Xx
Very well done Evie, that must have taken a lot of courage to open up to the world about your challenges in life . Health, either physical or mental is something we should never take for granted, and it's how we deal with it that makes us the people we become. I had a serious motorcycle accident when I was 18 ( I'm now 58 )which changed my life, but we just got to make the best of what we have. Thanks for posting and I wish you and your family all the best. If I see you in the Kop bar at ER, I'll buy you half a shandy or a sherry or whatever ladies drink 😂 ALAW MOT.
Nothing but admiration for you. I have struggled with mental health issues most of my life and also from various forms of abuse. I admire your outlook on life .
That was very brave Evie. Thanks for sharing. I hope it felt rewarding to step up and tell your story. Well done. If it helps one other person in any way even better!
I didn't see that coming! A tough watch. I hope that your video will help others, who are currently in a dark place with medical conditions, believe that there is a way through.
Hey I'm a Leeds United season ticket holder since 1992, I got diagnosed with type 1 when I was around 37 years old I'm 50 at Christmas xx I go see Dr Mansfield at St James in Leeds, recently gone on the omnipod dash, which has helped massively... But a week today I go on the omnipod 5 so can't wait for that!!! Stay strong sister ALAW x mot
It’s hard to know what to say, but I’m glad you spoke out. My experience of this was a family member who lived in severe mental darkness and positioning a D1 condition very low on his agenda, I witnessed two seizures with just the two of us home and not a first clue of how to help. Ironically, petrifying for me and a muddled memory of amusement for him once he came back. We have two major issues in society it seems, vanity and obesity, more connected than they’d first appear. It takes a while and some people will never get that we can’t control what others think of us and it’s not truly our concern. Seeing good in people is a skill and I believe predicated on seeing good in one’s self first. I believe we have an obligation to be there for the people we love and we protect them by looking after ourselves first. Not just to lift heavy when they can’t but to help establish standards for life and love. When facing adversity it’s easy to shout “why me?” at the heavens but the echo always comes back “why not?” After years of being alive I know this, we all have stuff to cope with and whilst it may look like everyone else might be doing better, they’re generally photos on Facebook or pictures in a celebrity magazine. Two things I like… it’s not the years in your life it’s the life in your years and each of us is responsible for ours Number 1 life goal is getting to the end of it and saying Wow that was a blast, I’d love another go!”
@ well if you can move people to think, perhaps you can move them to write, which invariably moves them to talk. So if nothing else, feel good about that. 👍
Hi evie,to say that was emotional to watch is an understatement 😢 you have had to cope with such a lot in your life so far and we would never have known as you have always come across as a very bubbly and positive young lady. Thank you for sharing with us and hope with support and love from family and friends that you see a brighter future ahead,sending much love and strength to you ❤ x
Oh my goodness Evie! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences so openly and honestly. I watch your own channel output whenever I can, and see your LUFC insights when you appear on panels with other content creators. I knew from the intro to this video that it was something rather different, but I thought I would learn something and understand you a little more as a person. It was thoroughly enlightening, and I am grateful that in a very small way you welcomed me into your world. This was a very brave thing to do, and you should be very proud of yourself for putting this information out there for the good of others. It’s great that you have found a way to manage your mental and physical health issues, but if your video can help even one other person then it was well worth doing. I also hope it was a cathartic experience for you. Your comments near the end about kindness resonated with me enormously, and is something I have always tried to live my life by. If only the people of this world were kinder to each other we would all be so much happier. Thank you again for sharing. It proves the adage that true beauty comes from within, and shines bright for others to see.
Thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing something so personal. I wish I had a smidgeon of your courage. This is without doubt one of the most powerful videos I've ever seen on UA-cam. "Something either grabs you and moves you or it doesn't." I'm very moved lots of ❤
You are so brave Evie, thank you for your honesty, so pleased you're much better now, i agree with you about kindness, there's a wonderful hope for the future, take care of yourself, ive been crying with you. .
Tremendously brave, always look forward to your incredibly insightful discourse. Never doubt for one minute your worthiness, you are definitely beautiful inside and out. Well done for having the courage to discuss this so powerfully and pray you are healthier physically and mentally going forward.
What a great video, you’re so brave. My husband has diabetes and he went through a stage of not taking his insulin or not taking it correctly, he still isn’t the best but much better, but anyway, I just wanted to say you’re so brave and amazing for doing this video, the world needs more people like you ❤
It’s so important , to have a special friend and a strong support system around you , your story was very strong message. A big thank you to your special friend being there for you . God bless Evie
you are beautiful inside and out and your loved, been through something very similar to this with my wife of 40 years, anorexia, ,Bulimia, depression its a rollercoaster ride with all the things that go side by side with these things that no one else has a clue about, panic attacks, infertility, organ failure, the hospital stays, job and financial worries later on in life my wife got cancer of the womb and then breast but shes a survivor, weve cried together, shouted together, weve asked ourselves why so many times, weve not always been able to do what some others can do and take for granted, were still living with it but were here in our 60s have learnt how to ride the roller coaster and make the most of highs and understanding when the dips hit ya, its a bit like being a leeds supporter its an adventure and an interesting one, your unique and so is your life, be strong and always come back fighting, look for that silver lining and dont be scared to show your feelings, smacking someone in the gob often helps lol (i never said that ) take care cos everything is gonna be alright ask our daughter and two lovely grandkids
Thank you for sharing yours and your wife's story. I am touched that youve written about something that is so personal. I'm glad to hear that you've had each other throughout all those ups and downs. It truly is just like being a leeds fan we know those ups and downs all too well.
When I was a teenager between 15 and 17 I tried to kill myself 3 times. So many terrible things in my life, well so I thought. This month I will be 63. Never give up always keep trying. BTW I beat type 2 diabetes, not the same I know, I have lost 45 kg. Thanks to my nagging wife. You can do it. I stopped drinking 30 years ago. Weight problems are so misunderstood, too light or too heavy, the problem is the same and so difficult. I believe in you and Leeds United needs YOU. MOT!
Well done for not giving up and still being here to tell your story all these years later. Also losing all that weight for the sake of your health and happiness is something that should be truly admired, brilliant work by you and obviously by the loving wife you have.
Evie, what great video.. well done to you for having the strength to share your ups and downs. Hoping that’s helped yo u as well as others that need it. And on top of all that your a Leeds fan!!! I know how hard that can be 🤣 Enjoy your family and friends x
This was a very heartfelt and very sad story, must of been difficult for you through the years. Must of been awkward for you to record this also, but it shows what a strong woman you are. Takes a lot of courage to record something like this. So proud of you to do this. I suffer from Diabetes myself, But it's type 2 diabetes, so not as bad as yours, but I do get a lot of the symptoms you are referring. So well done for making this, and thank you. PS, you are so beautiful in every way possible, you are gorgeous. Stay strong 💪 ✨️
I'm not going to tell you what to do but you do know type 2 diabetes is 100% curable , the doctors won't tell you this because there job is not to cure you but to just manage your symptoms, your nothing more than a customer to them
Thank you for your support and kind words. Diabetes is such a difficult topic to understand a lot of the time and there is a huge stigma around it too.
Total and utmost respect Evie 🙏🫶🤝 for doing this on your podcast and talking about been a diabetic and mental health issues this will help a lot of people in a similar situation that you know what they are going through it takes a lot of courage to come on and talk about your personal life bravo 👏 love and respect 🤝 i am pleased you have met your husband he's ONE LUCKY 🍀 MAN your a lovely 😍 looking lady 🫶 thanks Evie your a Top lady keep fighting 🦚🤍💛💙. Onwards and upwards 👆 with your podcast it's first 🥇 class and something different that will help a lot of folks 🙏
@discourseofpeacocks your welcome Evie you speaking to people about what you have gone through in life will encourage more people to talk and hopefully get some help if necessary keep fighting marching on together 🦚🇮🇨🤍💛💙 respect Evie 🙏🤝🫶
I can not to into words how brave and honest you are in this reel,a credit to modern day women like you,for your story that hits home to so many people. Being honest with yourself is hard,but to open up like youve done is incredible.Raw emotion and feelings are very hard to air,especially in this day and age. Mental health is so underated as a illness,people like you though that have courage and self belief to do this,while dealing with Diabetes. You will only become stronger and a better person for doing this MOT Evie
Your 5f 3 1/2 inches of DYNAMITE. I only know you from your appearances on Leeds related podcasts and always look forward to your appearances on Just Joe etc. You not only bring the GLAMOUR but your normally the one that brings the level headed thought out opinion with the knowledge to back it up too. Make the guys look silly at times, at which times I drop a "Go Evie Go Evie" in the comments.
So good to hear your story Evie, after diagnosis one is kinda left to figure it by one's self! It's pot luck depending on where you live! If somethings not right, always reach out and find the help you need. There is some prejudice towards diabetics, alot of people assume we are sweet toothed and have brought it onto ourselves! You kind touched on it earlier with the breath comment! Evie you are educating people with your story, you may help others, keep doing great things MOT. Dizx
Thank you, it means a lot. There's so much that is not understood about diabetes and it is often the butt of the joke ( don't get me wrong I often make jokes about it because I prefer to laugh than always be serious), but mainstream outlets don't understand the complexities that come along with diabetes .
Yeah evie,white snakebytes steve from new Zealand mentioned your vlog,I've just watched it now but I came on originally because I've just seen you on just joes live 28 minutes in of which I'm going to leave a comment on another blog of yours.this vlog was eloquently put you should be so proud of yourself it must have been difficult especially with needles & feeling dumped in @ the deep end,I hope hospitals have more protocols set in place too teach people to manage their conditions. Big hugs from me.corrie have covered this story,my mate had type one,when ever he had too much lemonade he would act drunk.garry mabbut spurs captain had type one..
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I hope it has helped someone who is having a dark time. Sometimes I can be like that especially if I have taken too much insulin for the amount of carbs i've had
I can sympathize with your struggles Evie babes. I was diagnosed 15 years (and 5 days ago). I was 32 at the time and it began a week after moving house. During said move, I was like most highly stressed, as my deadline to move out was approaching and I had left significant things late and whilst packing the remaining items I was constantly thirsty, but thought nothing of it, other than... I was downing 4 litres of Pepsi a day..... So I finally moved, I was overwhelmingly tired and found myself struggling to even get up. Although the Pepsi consumption had ended, it had been replaced with about 3-5 liters of water a day, and within seconds of drinking it, it was going down the toilet. This went on for days til I visited my mom, who saw how much of a state I was in physically, she, who is also a Diabetic, tested my sugars on her monitor, and it read 53 points. (For those who don't know, a females blood sugar points, should be around 5, and a man's can vary but generally 4-8 points) So, I got a GP's appointment and saw the GP 2 days later, I told them my BSPs on my mums machine was 53, and the GP immediately tested my bloods again.... hers said I had a BSP of 38. And I was immediately sent to LGI to get it dealt with. I was in hospital for 5 days before my Bloods, had been reduced to a 'safe to release' level. I was initially diagnosed with Type 1. I was shown how to use the insulin pens, but I had issues in my first few years, because I suffer from a Needle Phobia called Trypanophobia. If I felt I'd hit anything on the way into my body, I'd give up immediately and not try again for several days or weeks it got that bad. Testing my blood with a Blood Monitor was impossible for my Trypanophobia to cope with. In December 2019 I was later rediagnosed as being type 2. Seems theres a Blood Cell count, that determines which side of the Type 1 or 2 fence.... and I slipped over to the other side. I regularly run my blood sugars higher than the NHS would like. This is because I am terrified of a Hypo, especially dropping into a Black Out, this is mostly because when my sugars are low my symptoms are I get angry, I get argumentative and I'll pick a fight over nothing. I fear that if I ever suffered a diabetic black out, I would become a violent person. For those who don't know, a black out is when you lose control of your actions, its like being schizophrenic, and your other personality comes to the surface and that personality is often the polar opposite of you when you're in control Chin up lass, face the world with a smile and take every day as it comes
Wow thank you for sharing your story. That is incredible and also I am amazed that you were diagnosed for so many years with the wrong type of diabetes. It just goes to show how much work there still needs to be in order to get diabetics where we need to be. Sending love to you
@@discourseofpeacocks In some regard, there are a few people who will suggest you consider what the NHS tells you.... and in some cases... do the opposite. For many years I feel the NHS don't have a clue about the condition and they'll say anything to sound like they do have a clue. Its not the case with everything they'll preach, you find out what works for you and what doesn't and just get on with it.
Well said Evie, it's hard sometimes to express our deepest and strongest emotions; but there is healing in doing just that. Hopefully this message helps others facing difficult times in life. My prayers and blessings go out to you and your family. Keep strong and be the real "you" every day. ❤
I nearly was crying with you your a beautiful woman ,I would have given you a hug if I was able to.give your kids a extra hug today and thanks for sharing your story 😍
So proud of you Hun for being so brave, you have come so far and this video will help someone else going through this to get the help they need. Your video is very inspiring and I know that you will not realize how big of an impact this could be on someone who is also going through something similar but I know you are going to help a lot of people. You are an amazing strong brave woman. Proud to say I know you.
Thank you Evie. You're very courageous to make this video. Also, thank you for sharing and educating me. I had no idea diabulomia existed. You're very beautiful(both inside and out).
Thank you luv for sharing this more personal side of you past our usual sophomoric forays into all things Leeds United. I just found out last year I am a Type II diabetic, by ending up in the hospital with a massive infection. The first time I was told was when the doctor asked me, "so, how long have you been a diabetic?" Wait---waa? Imagine my surprise, having been an high level athlete and remaining in very good shape long past my playing days. I have been fortunate in all the support I got subsequently but the surprise and inexplicability never quite leave you, you know? Hang in there you are beautiful and intelligent. You have a loving family. There is still so much for which to be grateful. Sending good karma, vibes and prayers. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you, I have been amazed by the response and how many people have only recently found out that they are diabetic and it changes your life in one way or another. No matter which type of diabetes you have, it can be caused by many different factors and there isn't always a "blame" so i really do think the stigma around it should be thrown out of the window
That was a tough watch Evie, your a very brave young lady to share you're experiences and spread awareness to others going through similar. Mental health is a tough thing and it's good to talk is the 1st steps to recovery. ❤☘️ps. Spuds rock 🪨
Hi Evie wow wow wow its an amazing story and thanks you for sharing it, nMy wife has the same condition as you and she is amazing so positive like you stay strong xx Stephen in New Zealand ex Bradford lad but a big LU Fan xx
I liked the point you make that we don't know what struggles other people are going through by appearances. It's astonishing that you weren't better informed and supported when you were first diagnosed. Thank you for telling your story and although it's not a Leeds United video, that's the context I watched in, and feel like we should naturally support each other as part of the Leeds family because we've been through so much other emotional stuff together.
Im pleased that you stayed and watched despite it not being a leeds united video . Everyone has their own troubles that are important to them and shouldn't be overlooked simply because they may seem trivial to others. Talking about things is vital to help everyone keep ticking over
Really proud of you for putting this out there, I know it was difficult for you but also that you wanted to give your story both to show what you went through but show others you can come back stronger from difficult situations. Strongest and best person I know! 💪
I'm type 2, controlled by tablets, and it's hard enough keeping an eye on my blood sugar levels. I was in the high teens readings when diagnosed. I know it's infinitely worse for you type 1s.
I’m very proud of you for being so strong, you’re such a wonderful person for being so honest . On mental health therapy does help , it has helped me with my anxiety. I appreciate you sharing your story.
Oh Evie.. up to 32.10 I was keeping it straight with you?? but then Like a lot of times in life you start to understand that feelings inside can feel very strange & take over your own feelings to other people .. & this is what is happening now but.. You are a very strong young lady who has more in life than you think.. so please take all of our love today & understand that we can all be thoughtful of what life is giving us but never give up on anything.. Be strong & we are all strong with you & we are all friends for life.. & with life we only have on.. & to talk about that life is just what you are doing & it brings the truth out of us all which is friendship & love & in this time of life we are in it together. Keep it up young lady & never stop telling all your friends about how you feel because we all need to have this talk whatever anyone else thinks.. because we all need this to go through life .. Take care .
Oh I am sorry to hear of your struggles, if you can see what I can see you are pretty certainly attractive lady Evie. As they say it's good to talk, seeing you on Joe's channel you come across certainly with confidence & I would have dreamt you at times struggled mentally. I presumed feeling not attractive was just a thing teenage girls went through I certainly heard it from my 24 years old daughter in her teens. Regarding been diabetic it's an horrendous disease which I was thought it was overweight people that had it usually & what complications it can cause, I've certainly heard that it can be so bad that suffers can loose their toes feet etc. By listening to you, don't worry you certainly don't sound like your after symphathy & sound needy Just someone wanting to speak of their struggles which helps to talk. Please don't ever feel unattractive your not.
Thank you for your kind words. I think there should be more education in terms of what society thinks diabetes is and the fact that there is multiple types. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment
Your welcome, certainly wouldn't do any harm to educate people on what a horrible disease Diabetes is, basically I do know sorry if I don't get the terminology right, if it's not so severe tablets can be used & for the worst case would that be stage 2 diabetes it's injections. Regarding whenever you're feel not so good physically & mentally do another video it's good to talk.
You're a beautiful person Evie,inside and outside.❤
It must of been very hard to do this video and you have done a very good job of it, Well done. It may have helped more people than you think. and you do yourself a down it takes a beautiful person that cares about others to do this sort of thing. You stand tall in my eyes.
Thank you so much i really appreciate your kind words. Taken a lot of time to feel brave enough to share
Very brave of you to record such a personal account. Well done for getting through the video and for your road to recovery. Best wishes with your health and future!
People follow you for being you Evie. We follow you on your journey, good or bad days. Keep being you, and you are not alone on this path!
Thank you for your kind words, it truly means a lot
Can I say thank you Evie for doing this video and how strong u are for doing it and having it out there u are 1 in a million
Thanks Danny, your support is genuinely so appreciated
Very proud of you sharing your Diabetes Journey.
It wasn’t fun seeing you go through all that at the time 😢so I know that doing this video will have been tough.
You are and have always been beautiful inside and out 🤍
Lots of love xxxx
Thank you lovely xxxx
This is one of those videos that is incredibly tough to make, and it takes someone incredibly strong to discuss all of this. It's worth it even if it reaches one person who needs to hear what you have to say - I'm really proud to call you my friend right now 🤍
You'll get me all emotional with this kind of niceness! Thank you Joe it truly means a lot x
This was brave and moving! And surprising, for two reasons: first because I think you are both very beautiful and smart; and second because I did not know you have diabetes 1. I do too, but was not diagnosed before I was 52. I use Freestyle Libre 3, and it helps me a lot. My GMI is now 6,2%. Rune - Norwegian Leeds fan ❤️
I use freestyle libre 2 and it has changed my life completely. Wow 52 and diagnosed with T1 that must have really changed your life, i hope you are looking after yourself . 😊
Mental health is so poorly understood still. I suffer with chronic depression and complex PTSD, and you see the stigma surrounding it in the faces of others. I fully understand this video love. You have gained so much because of it, never lose sight of that. Take care of yourself. 💛💙
Thank you for watching and take care of yourself as i understand your struggles as I suffer with similar also.
Wow definitely a video with a difference. Evie that was very powerful. Opening up like that took guts. I hope the effort and strength revealing yourself will help others. You are a remarkable woman. Always believe in yourself.
Thank you, really appreciate those words
I told you some time ago that I do struggle to watch long videos. This 38.18min one took Karen and me nearly 90 minutes to finish watching. We were constantly pausing to discuss how we all have the same issues only for different reasons. The feelings of isolation, shame and the inability to cope. We cried and wanted to reach out and hug you and tell you we understand. Although we only know you from being on other Leeds United shows and now here, we are so proud of you for having the courage to share part of your story. It will help not only you but others. Karen didn't know what to say so this is a joint comment. Much love from our house to yours. xx
Thank you, also my next video is less than 25 minutes haha so hopefully it will take you less time to watch. Your support on this video in particular is really appreciated so i truly am grateful. :)
You, young lady, are one of the few who can hold an audience's attention, and that is something to be admired. The long videos, (on this channel) are not a problem.
Well done!
a very moving video Evie and helpful to more people than you will know it brings life into focus I myself m suffering mental health problems and your message has helped me just make sure you keep up with your meds and stay positive for all of us especially your hubby and children you all have our support and admiration for your bravery
I think more people suffer than are ready to admit, thank you for your kind words.
What a Beautiful Lady you are Evie, look after yourself💙🤍💛
Evie, thank you so much for such a brave sharing of your experiences and life, and for allowing yourself to be vulnerable in front of so many people that you don't know. You are an inspiration! Massive good wishes to you and family going forward. We are very lucky to have you as a fantastic creator for the Leeds community.
That is such a lovely thing to put thank you
Evie, I've always thought of you as a very well-informed and educated person. You are speaking out about your situation and condition. I've always said what's affecting me and my mind. Well done for sharing with us. You are amazing. Hopefully, this helps you 🙏
Thank you, it's taken a long time to feel confident enough to share my story, but I wish I had known someone who had struggled at the time and then I might not have felt so alone.
Unfortunately, it needs someone as special and brave as you to open up,then you realise how common people suffer in silence. Being a Leeds fan, you're with the best .
Well done lov keep up the good work u do on ear u look lovely x
Firstly thank you very much for sharing this with us all its is obviously a difficult and private thing to talk about but did it wonderfully you should be incredibly proud of yourself
im a diabetic retinopathy screener in Cheshire
The majority of my type 1 patients were diagnosed as adults I have a few teen type 1 patients but they are not that common you are right.
Thankfully the education for type 1 patients has improved a lot over time since you were diagnosed so diabetics can recognise the symptoms better and be supported better by health care professionals like myself. This has included some education (but not enough) on how the effects of diabetes has on a patient mental health. In my clinics I have leaflets and contact details for more support with coping and living with diabetes. With your permission I would like to share this video link with a few of my colleagues as the way speak about your personal journey with diabetes will definitely help other in a similar situation.
Thank you again for sharing
MOT
Thank you for such kind words. Yes that would be amazing, my main desire from making this video is to spread awareness of how exhausting it can be to simply exist at times (at least in my own personal journey)
Take my hat off to people like you, ren and anyone being transparent and bringing awareness to some taboo topics and helping others to get through their problems. Well done for speaking about your issues x
Big up Evie tough to talk about this very brave lady your beauty inside and out top lady all the luck in the world ❤
Thanks Jess really appreciate that from you xx
@ we may not speak a lot but I’m always here ❤️❤️👍
There is light within the darkness, there is darkness within the light.
I've known a few adults diagnosed with D1. It's become quite common place.
Eating disorders are very complex, I know, as I too have a lifetime of an eating disorder.
There is strength in sickness, there is weakness too. Stay strong on the bad days and have fun on good ones.
Evie sweetheart. You are a strong and beautiful woman. It was very emotional watching this. You are so brave to put this out there to basically a bunch of strangers. Hopefully somebody who watches this can be helped with their problems. Your children are so lucky to have a mum like you. I enjoy watching your videos and watching your contributions on other channels. You have a wonderful personality and talk a lot of sense regarding Leeds United. Sending you and your family a lot of love. MOT.
Thank you, that is really kind of you to say.
Brave and brilliant video evie I couldn't do this 👏 can't imagine what you gone through
We'll always be here to share your tea Evie. You got through some tough times, all the best for the future. 💛💙💛💙
Thank you :)
Thanks for sharing your story with us Evie. So glad you are still with us x
Thank you :)
You are a beautiful lady, please don't ever think you're not. You are one of the pretty girls (i would kill to look half as pretty as you), but you have to believe that yourself. Unfortunately, no one understands health issues, especially mental health problems, unless they are going through it themselves. Please take care of yourself. I'm always here for you, my friend.
Thank you Kels, mental health issues are so important to talk about to try and take the stigma away.
Very brave for sharing your story Evie, beautiful lady, loads of love to you. Keep on looking after your health and happiness xxx
Thank you for that comment such a lovely thing to read. Love to you
Hi Evie,
My daughter's type 1 diabetic. She got diagnosed when she was 5. She's nearly 12 now. Due to her diabetes she now has celiac disease. She's my little superstar, the way she goes through life with a smile on her face and a spring in her step. Hope you keep well.
I have so much respect for you as a parent having to cope with that. It has been my number 1 fear since becoming diabetic, that I would pass it on and watch my child struggle. Sending love to you and your rockstar daughter
@
That really means a lot Evie,thank you very much. If I ever see you at Elland Road. I will come over and let her say hello to you. You take care and keep on putting out great content. Your amazing. Take care. Xx
Brave video Evie from another type 1 diabetic Leeds fan who nearly died too . It is a struggle . You are not alone . Stay strong ⚪️🔵🟡
Thank you, sending love to my fellow diabuddy
Very well done Evie, that must have taken a lot of courage to open up to the world about your challenges in life .
Health, either physical or mental is something we should never take for granted, and it's how we deal with it that makes us the people we become.
I had a serious motorcycle accident when I was 18 ( I'm now 58 )which changed my life, but we just got to make the best of what we have. Thanks for posting and I wish you and your family all the best. If I see you in the Kop bar at ER, I'll buy you half a shandy or a sherry or whatever ladies drink 😂
ALAW MOT.
Haha thank you for that. Exactly, everyone faces issues and challenges throughout life, but it's how we deal with them that matters.
Nothing but admiration for you.
I have struggled with mental health issues most of my life and also from various forms of abuse. I admire your outlook on life .
Sending love to you, everyone struggles from time to time and I hope you are getting the support you need
That was very brave Evie. Thanks for sharing. I hope it felt rewarding to step up and tell your story. Well done. If it helps one other person in any way even better!
Well done Evie for putting out the Video very moving.
Thank you for letting us hear your story. We’re all glad to have you here :) continue being kind to yourself
I didn't see that coming! A tough watch. I hope that your video will help others, who are currently in a dark place with medical conditions, believe that there is a way through.
Thank you for watching, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea
I watched your video from start to finish I want to wish you all the very best for your future take care of yourself
Thank you for watching it is really appreciated
This was a very difficult listen but also inspiring. Peace and Love
Well done for posting this.🙌
Hey I'm a Leeds United season ticket holder since 1992, I got diagnosed with type 1 when I was around 37 years old I'm 50 at Christmas xx I go see Dr Mansfield at St James in Leeds, recently gone on the omnipod dash, which has helped massively... But a week today I go on the omnipod 5 so can't wait for that!!! Stay strong sister ALAW x mot
Well done Evie, more power to you😘
Very brave and well done to you for being so open ❤👏🙏 thanks for sharing
It’s hard to know what to say, but I’m glad you spoke out.
My experience of this was a family member who lived in severe mental darkness and positioning a D1 condition very low on his agenda, I witnessed two seizures with just the two of us home and not a first clue of how to help. Ironically, petrifying for me and a muddled memory of amusement for him once he came back.
We have two major issues in society it seems, vanity and obesity, more connected than they’d first appear. It takes a while and some people will never get that we can’t control what others think of us and it’s not truly our concern.
Seeing good in people is a skill and I believe predicated on seeing good in one’s self first. I believe we have an obligation to be there for the people we love and we protect them by looking after ourselves first. Not just to lift heavy when they can’t but to help establish standards for life and love.
When facing adversity it’s easy to shout “why me?” at the heavens but the echo always comes back “why not?”
After years of being alive I know this, we all have stuff to cope with and whilst it may look like everyone else might be doing better, they’re generally photos on Facebook or pictures in a celebrity magazine.
Two things I like… it’s not the years in your life it’s the life in your years and each of us is responsible for ours
Number 1 life goal is getting to the end of it and saying Wow that was a blast, I’d love another go!”
Very wise words!
@ well if you can move people to think, perhaps you can move them to write, which invariably moves them to talk. So if nothing else, feel good about that. 👍
Hi evie,to say that was emotional to watch is an understatement 😢 you have had to cope with such a lot in your life so far and we would never have known as you have always come across as a very bubbly and positive young lady. Thank you for sharing with us and hope with support and love from family and friends that you see a brighter future ahead,sending much love and strength to you ❤ x
Thank you, that is such a lovely comment to read. It really means a lot
Oh my goodness Evie! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences so openly and honestly.
I watch your own channel output whenever I can, and see your LUFC insights when you appear on panels with other content creators. I knew from the intro to this video that it was something rather different, but I thought I would learn something and understand you a little more as a person. It was thoroughly enlightening, and I am grateful that in a very small way you welcomed me into your world.
This was a very brave thing to do, and you should be very proud of yourself for putting this information out there for the good of others. It’s great that you have found a way to manage your mental and physical health issues, but if your video can help even one other person then it was well worth doing. I also hope it was a cathartic experience for you.
Your comments near the end about kindness resonated with me enormously, and is something I have always tried to live my life by. If only the people of this world were kinder to each other we would all be so much happier.
Thank you again for sharing. It proves the adage that true beauty comes from within, and shines bright for others to see.
Thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing something so personal. I wish I had a smidgeon of your courage. This is without doubt one of the most powerful videos I've ever seen on UA-cam. "Something either grabs you and moves you or it doesn't."
I'm very moved lots of ❤
Thank you for taking the time to comment such a lovely thing. I'm glad I recorded it as it was cathartic and hopefully it might help someone
You are so brave Evie, thank you for your honesty, so pleased you're much better now, i agree with you about kindness, there's a wonderful hope for the future, take care of yourself, ive been crying with you. .
Thank you and I do apologise for making you cry. Hopefully happy tears by the end
Evie you’re beautiful , you have a wonderful smile and personality, it’s so sad to hear of your struggles. A big thank you for this stream .
Thank you for taking the time to comment and watching a very different stream
Tremendously brave, always look forward to your incredibly insightful discourse. Never doubt for one minute your worthiness, you are definitely beautiful inside and out. Well done for having the courage to discuss this so powerfully and pray you are healthier physically and mentally going forward.
Thank you, each day brings its challenges, but I am here and not going anywhere. 😊
What a great video, you’re so brave. My husband has diabetes and he went through a stage of not taking his insulin or not taking it correctly, he still isn’t the best but much better, but anyway, I just wanted to say you’re so brave and amazing for doing this video, the world needs more people like you ❤
Thank you that's really kind of you to say. Your husband is lucky to have a wife who cares about him like you do!
It’s so important , to have a special friend and a strong support system around you , your story was very strong message. A big thank you to your special friend being there for you . God bless Evie
you are beautiful inside and out and your loved, been through something very similar to this with my wife of 40 years, anorexia, ,Bulimia, depression its a rollercoaster ride with all the things that go side by side with these things that no one else has a clue about, panic attacks, infertility, organ failure, the hospital stays, job and financial worries later on in life my wife got cancer of the womb and then breast but shes a survivor, weve cried together, shouted together, weve asked ourselves why so many times, weve not always been able to do what some others can do and take for granted, were still living with it but were here in our 60s have learnt how to ride the roller coaster and make the most of highs and understanding when the dips hit ya, its a bit like being a leeds supporter its an adventure and an interesting one, your unique and so is your life, be strong and always come back fighting, look for that silver lining and dont be scared to show your feelings, smacking someone in the gob often helps lol (i never said that ) take care cos everything is gonna be alright ask our daughter and two lovely grandkids
Thank you for sharing yours and your wife's story. I am touched that youve written about something that is so personal. I'm glad to hear that you've had each other throughout all those ups and downs. It truly is just like being a leeds fan we know those ups and downs all too well.
When I was a teenager between 15 and 17 I tried to kill myself 3 times. So many terrible things in my life, well so I thought. This month I will be 63. Never give up always keep trying. BTW I beat type 2 diabetes, not the same I know, I have lost 45 kg. Thanks to my nagging wife. You can do it. I stopped drinking 30 years ago. Weight problems are so misunderstood, too light or too heavy, the problem is the same and so difficult. I believe in you and Leeds United needs YOU. MOT!
Well done for not giving up and still being here to tell your story all these years later. Also losing all that weight for the sake of your health and happiness is something that should be truly admired, brilliant work by you and obviously by the loving wife you have.
Evie, what great video.. well done to you for having the strength to share your ups and downs. Hoping that’s helped yo u as well as others that need it.
And on top of all that your a Leeds fan!!! I know how hard that can be 🤣
Enjoy your family and friends x
Clearly I was always destined for a life of pain being a leeds fan 😂
This was a very heartfelt and very sad story, must of been difficult for you through the years. Must of been awkward for you to record this also, but it shows what a strong woman you are. Takes a lot of courage to record something like this. So proud of you to do this.
I suffer from Diabetes myself, But it's type 2 diabetes, so not as bad as yours, but I do get a lot of the symptoms you are referring. So well done for making this, and thank you.
PS, you are so beautiful in every way possible, you are gorgeous. Stay strong 💪 ✨️
I'm not going to tell you what to do but you do know type 2 diabetes is 100% curable , the doctors won't tell you this because there job is not to cure you but to just manage your symptoms, your nothing more than a customer to them
Thank you for your support and kind words. Diabetes is such a difficult topic to understand a lot of the time and there is a huge stigma around it too.
Total and utmost respect Evie 🙏🫶🤝 for doing this on your podcast and talking about been a diabetic and mental health issues this will help a lot of people in a similar situation that you know what they are going through it takes a lot of courage to come on and talk about your personal life bravo 👏 love and respect 🤝 i am pleased you have met your husband he's ONE LUCKY 🍀 MAN your a lovely 😍 looking lady 🫶 thanks Evie your a Top lady keep fighting 🦚🤍💛💙. Onwards and upwards 👆 with your podcast it's first 🥇 class and something different that will help a lot of folks 🙏
Thank you, it's taken years to feel confident enough to speak about it. Thank you for always saying lovely things on my videos
@discourseofpeacocks your welcome Evie you speaking to people about what you have gone through in life will encourage more people to talk and hopefully get some help if necessary keep fighting marching on together 🦚🇮🇨🤍💛💙 respect Evie 🙏🤝🫶
I can not to into words how brave and honest you are in this reel,a credit to modern day women like you,for your story that hits home to so many people.
Being honest with yourself is hard,but to open up like youve done is incredible.Raw emotion and feelings are very hard to air,especially in this day and age.
Mental health is so underated as a illness,people like you though that have courage and self belief to do this,while dealing with Diabetes.
You will only become stronger and a better person for doing this MOT Evie
Thank you, that so kind of you to say all of those things . Mental health issues need talking about, if you talk, it makes the stigma less
Your 5f 3 1/2 inches of DYNAMITE. I only know you from your appearances on Leeds related podcasts and always look forward to your appearances on Just Joe etc. You not only bring the GLAMOUR but your normally the one that brings the level headed thought out opinion with the knowledge to back it up too. Make the guys look silly at times, at which times I drop a "Go Evie Go Evie" in the comments.
Haha always appreciate the cheerleading
Well done evie,that takes a lot to do that
So good to hear your story Evie, after diagnosis one is kinda left to figure it by one's self! It's pot luck depending on where you live! If somethings not right, always reach out and find the help you need. There is some prejudice towards diabetics, alot of people assume we are sweet toothed and have brought it onto ourselves! You kind touched on it earlier with the breath comment! Evie you are educating people with your story, you may help others, keep doing great things MOT. Dizx
Thank you, it means a lot. There's so much that is not understood about diabetes and it is often the butt of the joke ( don't get me wrong I often make jokes about it because I prefer to laugh than always be serious), but mainstream outlets don't understand the complexities that come along with diabetes .
Yeah evie,white snakebytes steve from new Zealand mentioned your vlog,I've just watched it now but I came on originally because I've just seen you on just joes live 28 minutes in of which I'm going to leave a comment on another blog of yours.this vlog was eloquently put you should be so proud of yourself it must have been difficult especially with needles & feeling dumped in @ the deep end,I hope hospitals have more protocols set in place too teach people to manage their conditions. Big hugs from me.corrie have covered this story,my mate had type one,when ever he had too much lemonade he would act drunk.garry mabbut spurs captain had type one..
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I hope it has helped someone who is having a dark time. Sometimes I can be like that especially if I have taken too much insulin for the amount of carbs i've had
I can sympathize with your struggles Evie babes.
I was diagnosed 15 years (and 5 days ago). I was 32 at the time and it began a week after moving house. During said move, I was like most highly stressed, as my deadline to move out was approaching and I had left significant things late and whilst packing the remaining items I was constantly thirsty, but thought nothing of it, other than... I was downing 4 litres of Pepsi a day..... So I finally moved, I was overwhelmingly tired and found myself struggling to even get up. Although the Pepsi consumption had ended, it had been replaced with about 3-5 liters of water a day, and within seconds of drinking it, it was going down the toilet. This went on for days til I visited my mom, who saw how much of a state I was in physically, she, who is also a Diabetic, tested my sugars on her monitor, and it read 53 points. (For those who don't know, a females blood sugar points, should be around 5, and a man's can vary but generally 4-8 points)
So, I got a GP's appointment and saw the GP 2 days later, I told them my BSPs on my mums machine was 53, and the GP immediately tested my bloods again.... hers said I had a BSP of 38. And I was immediately sent to LGI to get it dealt with. I was in hospital for 5 days before my Bloods, had been reduced to a 'safe to release' level. I was initially diagnosed with Type 1.
I was shown how to use the insulin pens, but I had issues in my first few years, because I suffer from a Needle Phobia called Trypanophobia. If I felt I'd hit anything on the way into my body, I'd give up immediately and not try again for several days or weeks it got that bad. Testing my blood with a Blood Monitor was impossible for my Trypanophobia to cope with.
In December 2019 I was later rediagnosed as being type 2. Seems theres a Blood Cell count, that determines which side of the Type 1 or 2 fence.... and I slipped over to the other side.
I regularly run my blood sugars higher than the NHS would like. This is because I am terrified of a Hypo, especially dropping into a Black Out, this is mostly because when my sugars are low my symptoms are I get angry, I get argumentative and I'll pick a fight over nothing. I fear that if I ever suffered a diabetic black out, I would become a violent person.
For those who don't know, a black out is when you lose control of your actions, its like being schizophrenic, and your other personality comes to the surface and that personality is often the polar opposite of you when you're in control
Chin up lass, face the world with a smile and take every day as it comes
Wow thank you for sharing your story. That is incredible and also I am amazed that you were diagnosed for so many years with the wrong type of diabetes. It just goes to show how much work there still needs to be in order to get diabetics where we need to be. Sending love to you
@@discourseofpeacocks In some regard, there are a few people who will suggest you consider what the NHS tells you.... and in some cases... do the opposite. For many years I feel the NHS don't have a clue about the condition and they'll say anything to sound like they do have a clue. Its not the case with everything they'll preach, you find out what works for you and what doesn't and just get on with it.
Brilliant video been a diabetic for 25yrs . Chin up and keep going . Don't ever let anyone tell you your not pretty
Thanks Evie.❤
Well said Evie, it's hard sometimes to express our deepest and strongest emotions; but there is healing in doing just that. Hopefully this message helps others facing difficult times in life. My prayers and blessings go out to you and your family. Keep strong and be the real "you" every day. ❤
Thank you for such a lovely comment. I really hope it helps someone who needs a bit of extra support or guidance
Take care Evie stay strong ❤
I nearly was crying with you your a beautiful woman ,I would have given you a hug if I was able to.give your kids a extra hug today and thanks for sharing your story 😍
Great video Evie
So proud of you Hun for being so brave, you have come so far and this video will help someone else going through this to get the help they need. Your video is very inspiring and I know that you will not realize how big of an impact this could be on someone who is also going through something similar but I know you are going to help a lot of people. You are an amazing strong brave woman. Proud to say I know you.
Thanks Mags so lovely of you to comment. ❤
Thank you Evie. You're very courageous to make this video. Also, thank you for sharing and educating me. I had no idea diabulomia existed. You're very beautiful(both inside and out).
Thank you, that's one of the reasons I did the video was to raise awareness about it as I didn't know what it was until I suffered with it
Thank you luv for sharing this more personal side of you past our usual sophomoric forays into all things Leeds United. I just found out last year I am a Type II diabetic, by ending up in the hospital with a massive infection. The first time I was told was when the doctor asked me, "so, how long have you been a diabetic?" Wait---waa? Imagine my surprise, having been an high level athlete and remaining in very good shape long past my playing days. I have been fortunate in all the support I got subsequently but the surprise and inexplicability never quite leave you, you know? Hang in there you are beautiful and intelligent. You have a loving family. There is still so much for which to be grateful. Sending good karma, vibes and prayers. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you, I have been amazed by the response and how many people have only recently found out that they are diabetic and it changes your life in one way or another. No matter which type of diabetes you have, it can be caused by many different factors and there isn't always a "blame" so i really do think the stigma around it should be thrown out of the window
That was a tough watch Evie, your a very brave young lady to share you're experiences and spread awareness to others going through similar. Mental health is a tough thing and it's good to talk is the 1st steps to recovery. ❤☘️ps.
Spuds rock 🪨
Thank you for watching and it's taken me a long time to film this, but I am glad I did. If it helps anyone then it is worth the risk
Hi Evie wow wow wow its an amazing story and thanks you for sharing it, nMy wife has the same condition as you and she is amazing so positive like you stay strong xx Stephen in New Zealand ex Bradford lad but a big LU Fan xx
Thank you for taking the time to comment it really is appreciated. :)
I liked the point you make that we don't know what struggles other people are going through by appearances. It's astonishing that you weren't better informed and supported when you were first diagnosed. Thank you for telling your story and although it's not a Leeds United video, that's the context I watched in, and feel like we should naturally support each other as part of the Leeds family because we've been through so much other emotional stuff together.
Im pleased that you stayed and watched despite it not being a leeds united video . Everyone has their own troubles that are important to them and shouldn't be overlooked simply because they may seem trivial to others. Talking about things is vital to help everyone keep ticking over
Really proud of you for putting this out there, I know it was difficult for you but also that you wanted to give your story both to show what you went through but show others you can come back stronger from difficult situations. Strongest and best person I know! 💪
Aww thanks love xxx
I'm type 2, controlled by tablets, and it's hard enough keeping an eye on my blood sugar levels. I was in the high teens readings when diagnosed. I know it's infinitely worse for you type 1s.
Thank you for sharing this. Lots of love to you.
Please take care of yourself my friend x
I’m very proud of you for being so strong, you’re such a wonderful person for being so honest . On mental health therapy does help , it has helped me with my anxiety. I appreciate you sharing your story.
I am currently going through that therapy route for this and other issues, so thank you for your encouraging words
I admire your courage , Evie. MOT.
Well done Evie!! MOT.
Oh Evie.. up to 32.10 I was keeping it straight with you?? but then Like a lot of times in life you start to understand that feelings inside can feel very strange & take over your own feelings to other people .. & this is what is happening now but.. You are a very strong young lady who has more in life than you think.. so please take all of our love today & understand that we can all be thoughtful of what life is giving us but never give up on anything.. Be strong & we are all strong with you & we are all friends for life.. & with life we only have on.. & to talk about that life is just what you are doing & it brings the truth out of us all which is friendship & love & in this time of life we are in it together. Keep it up young lady & never stop telling all your friends about how you feel because we all need to have this talk whatever anyone else thinks.. because we all need this to go through life .. Take care .
Thank you, we all do need to keep talking. No use comes from keeping things bottled up
Very brave video, thank you for sharing, take good care of yourself AWAL
Keep going and don’t let anyone get you down ❤️🩹👏⭐️
Hey darlin you are a Beautiful Lady.stay strong Huny. if i was younger i woud be running after you
Stay strong Evie ❤❤❤
Oh I am sorry to hear of your struggles, if you can see what I can see you are pretty certainly attractive lady Evie. As they say it's good to talk, seeing you on Joe's channel you come across certainly with confidence & I would have dreamt you at times struggled mentally. I presumed feeling not attractive was just a thing teenage girls went through I certainly heard it from my 24 years old daughter in her teens. Regarding been diabetic it's an horrendous disease which I was thought it was overweight people that had it usually & what complications it can cause, I've certainly heard that it can be so bad that suffers can loose their toes feet etc. By listening to you, don't worry you certainly don't sound like your after symphathy & sound needy Just someone wanting to speak of their struggles which helps to talk. Please don't ever feel unattractive your not.
Thank you for your kind words. I think there should be more education in terms of what society thinks diabetes is and the fact that there is multiple types. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment
Your welcome, certainly wouldn't do any harm to educate people on what a horrible disease Diabetes is, basically I do know sorry if I don't get the terminology right, if it's not so severe tablets can be used & for the worst case would that be stage 2 diabetes it's injections. Regarding whenever you're feel not so good physically & mentally do another video it's good to talk.
🤍💛💙
Honestly gang? Some of y'all are literally missing the point of the video here. Queen Eive
My protector Xxx
@ forever and always 💜 xxx
I'm glad that is has educated you, it was part of the reason I put it out, until i suffered with it, I didn't know it was a thing either.
