  • Hi everyone! I'm excited to be posting a travel vlog again on this channel. We recently took a small vacation to Miami as a family. I was struggling with low blood sugars so much the first day, until I realized it was from getting my period!! Hormones and diabetes are such a wild combination, am I right?

    OMG Michelle how do you do it all? Thank you so much for sharing all of this - I can especially relate to the drop off in insulin needs when the period arrives!! Eden is simply adorable and you and Raffi look like stupendous parents (no surprise there!) Sending you joy!! ❤

    Both Lows and highs are hard to deal with but all of us feel like the lows are a lot more scarier for some reason but all of us are lucky to be in the age of CGMs I don't know what I would do without my Eversence E3 CGM it has saved my life on many occasions

    • @MichelleLord

      I just have travel insurance through my employer, nothing special for T1D.

    So happy you’re back! I’m glad you’re all doing well. I’m sure I’m not the only one who gets frustrated watching those lows, because we have all been there. 😢

    Hi Michelle! I tried messaging you a few weeks ago because I wanted to ask travel question but your Insta was gone.
    Love seeing Eden be an adorable toddler!!

      Hi!! Yes I deactivated it for a bit. I was feeling burnt out and overwhelmed with social media. I may bring it back soon :)

    What is the name of the hotel you stayed in? It looks very nice, also for a toddler :-)

    • @MichelleLord
      @MichelleLord  Рік тому +1

      It was called The Carillon, and was in North Beach Miami. Perfect for toddlers ☺️

    Eden has grown so much! Toddlers are so much fun but so exhausting at the same time. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.

    I started using tandem pump since last week and few days after I had a really bad hypoglycemia, my dexcom reading was LOW and my wife had to call an ambulance, it was a nightmare. I'm still getting used to the new pump and settings but I'm really afraid that CONTROL IQ had something to do with that. Do you have it always on?

    I really enjoy your channel. Have you ever taken a cruise as a diabetic? I' want to take one but am concerned whether my CGM and insulin pump will still function at sea.

    Hello Michelle. I hope you are doing well. I really like your videos as I mentioned before. Sometimes I have the sensation that even doing my best and restricting all the "bad" foods, things do not work out the way they should. And I experience variations in ratios from cycle to cycle. I usually have my A1C on target, but I sometimes get rough weeks, which makes me feel so frustrated and down. Thank you and keep posting.

    What have you been doing for TSA check points while using your dexcom and pump? has the full body scan affected your equipment? or do you bypass it and have security just give you a pat down?

    • @MichelleLord
      @MichelleLord  Рік тому +2

      I don’t do the full body scanner right now. It’s annoying because they always try to convince me it’s ok, then make a big deal about having to get another employee to come do my pat down. Between me and Eden, security is stressful lol!

    • @FrankiesWorld
      @FrankiesWorld Рік тому +1

      @@MichelleLord I would imagine! especially while doing so with Eden. I travel for work but will be using the Dexcom with a Tslim 2, basically the same setup as you so I was curious. I hope they dont give me a hard time when I am going through TSA in a few weeks!

    I couldn't help but chuckle a bit when I saw you went to Miami. I just flew back into Toronto from Saskatoon where we spent 5 days visiting my wife's brother and his family. We went to a resort a couple hours north of Saskatoon for a couple days, and got to experience negative 40 Celsius temps. Miami would have been much nicer.

    • @MichelleLord

      Hahah a much different vacation! That would have been really “cool” to have a winter resort experience 🥶!

    Glad you had a nice time. I really appreciate that you show real life snippets of your blood sugar and how you deal with it. It’s very helpful as oftentimes the advice we get from our care teams is very hypothetical. Thanks!

      I don't often wear in my thigh, but I quite often do my upper arm and really like it :)

    Is your girl having diabetes?

      @MichelleLord  Рік тому

      No, she does not. She has the same chance of developing T1D as most children do
