- Hi!
Welcome to a day in the life of me!! On this day I go get lab work, go to the endo, work my marketing job, workout, and make and eat food all while also making the decisions of a pancreas. It’s a good time.
Please like and subscribe and let me know what other videos you’d like to see! Up next is a 2nd week review of omnipod 5 with my new bolus strategy that’s really working for me!!
Disclaimer: obviously nothing in this video is medical advice! Please work with your endo/ diabetes team before making decisions about your diabetes care.
Capri suns a girls best friend!! It’s beautiful to see other diabetics do what you do 🙂 loved your video
Hahah yes!!! And thank you💛
Hi, hi, hi!! Love it 🥰 need more people like u on social media. Such an inspiration. Thankyou
My goodness did I need to find you today ❤
You mentioned "pausing the insulin after bolus". Assume you mean basal insulin is reduced or stopped. Happens with the Medtronic 670G too. Apparently everyone who programs insulin pumps believes bolus and basal insulin is the exact same thing. Not understanding that bolus insulin is for food eaten right then. Or corrections of high blood sugars. And basal insulin is for all the background functions that occur and require insulin for the sugar your body releases.
Nice topic ! Glad to see normal life, and someone who eats chocolate at night👍🏻looking at going on the Omni pod, never have used a pump. Thanks for the insight.
Keep up the excellent work. More videos and information regarding the Omnipod 5. I can relate with your endocrinologist/doctor experience. Sometime I feel like I'm the Doctor and I just show up there so they can keep filling out my prescriptions.
Thank you! And will do, definitely more to come! And I’m sorry that you have the same experience with your endo!💛
Omg you are so relatable! Will definitely keep watching!
Thank you for the love!💛
Your endo sounds just like mine! I will be her first patient using Omnipod 5 and I am SO nervous! Thank you for your videos ☺️
Love this!! My daughter is a type one and we just started on the OP5. There’s definitely a learning curve and I feel the same way as you do about our endo office not knowing much about it yet. Seeing your videos gives us hope! Thank you!!
Shredded tofu !! Tell us more !!
The activity mode is epic !! Very good !!
You definitely should make more videos like this !.
I’m also a type 1 diabetic. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 6 years old and now I’m 21 lol but anyways I enjoyed this video
Yay thank you!! I loved making it so there will be more in the future 💛💛💛
You have the perfect demeanor for an on camera content creator! Love your videos! And my endo visits are always rushed too. They never last more than 10-15 minutes and she plays speed 20-questions too. Why? 😂
I feel like our endos look and see hey they are doing good .. keep
It up . If we aren’t doing good they make adjustments ..
Yes!! I feel the same.
Thanks for sharing "a day in the life!" Would you mind doing a video on the insulin capacity of the Omnipod, how often you change it, etc.?
Meg...as for your endo's time, find out if you can start seeing a Nurse Practitioner in addition to your endo. They have MUCH more time to spend with patients. I suppose it has to do with hospital billing. Anyway, ask about it at your facility. I have 2 (one with endo and 1 with gyno) and love them both. I alternate seeing the doc and the NP every other time.
Such good advice! I used to see an NP when I lived in Boston and LOVED it. Will try for here too!! Thanks!
i did the same thing! last week i drove all the way to get my blood work just to find out it never got called in. i was a little annoyed. but i loved this video!! as a type one diabetic i love to see how other diabetics manage everything throughout the day!🫶
So annoying that it happened to you too ! But anyways- thank you! I’m happy you enjoyed the video💛
I understand! i have t1d since 35 years ago! i have 47 now, and i always trate with an especialist on t1d ... untill few years ago i didint realize ahaw difference make have a diabetologist type onle! im insist. She did so many things for understand ypur acientes like do control sugar in the way we do...
I found that out with my endo and the op5 yesterday
So does your Endo look at the charts and graphs supplied by the OP5? I guess he/she does because I now recall you say your Endo asked what happen on a particular day. I'm fortunate to have a wonderful Endo. Never feel rushed. Answers questions and knows my CGM and pump. To give you an idea: My appointment a few appointments ago was really good. He said your glucose numbers look as good at mine. I said: Trade you pancreas's. He has a sense of humor too. I enjoy my appointments. I have found that general practitioners are not that good with diabetics so I do expect more from an Endo. Good luck in you journey.
Can you show how you carb counted / bolused for dinner? How did you measure the beans, tomato, etc
I can do this in a future video!
I’m a type 1 Diabetic and I’m getting the Omnipod
Haha! I have totally showed up to places on the wrong day 😂. Not sure why I’m telling the internet this…
Current summary if possible? Using what devices? How are your numbers etc? I'm on the Medtronic but have less than a year left to hit the 4 year point. I want to make the right choice this time around before I commit for another 4 years. My endocrinologist is helpful but he said Omnipod customer service is horrible!
Your blood sugars are quite good considering the amount of carbohydrates you eat. Do you run a lot of high blood sugars? For me also a type 1 diabetic I do not eat carbs very limited to only 20-30g a day. My blood sugars are very close to the normal range 70-99 mg/dl all day even after meals on a high protein diet. If you are interested definitely read/watch Dr. Bernstein diabetes solutions (book/UA-cam). Exercise for me raises my blood sugars (workout very strenuously) and do require 2u of regular insulin before working out.
How much rapid insulin do You use that day?
What blood sugar do you target for going to bed and waking up at?
100-110!
