Re: the alcohol swipe, yes it can affect your reading unless you are sure to wait until it has completely evaporated.
Thank you for answering that!! 👏🏻
I was told it had some glucose in it so it had to dry completely. Who has time for that???? I have no idea why the glucose is there and I didn’t question it.
I came here to look for the fact check as well 😊
@@traceykerr895 they’re confusing food alcohol and drink alcohol, which yes contains sugar. The alcohol pads have no glucose/sugar. One study actually saw that using the prep pads falsely lowered the reading
@@AuthenticMage I was just reading some articles and read the same thing. So confusing. Thank goodness for GGMs!!!
My daughter was diagnosed 15 years ago as a teenager. She likes to watch your videos and sends me her favorites to watch. Just sent the 'change your dexcom'. We've tried to talk her into the CGM as she. Has a hard time with control. I believe watching your videos is helping her lessen her feelings about one. Thank you for showing life as a type 1evren if they are a bit out of this world. 😆 helps her know she's not alone.
I love watching your videos! I work in a diabetic office and it is so cool how you are advocating what diabetes is and taking the stigma away from it. A lot of people don't know how it effects ones every day life. Also side note love seeing Ted a lot this vid! ❤
Thanks for making content like this! It helps me understand the students with type 1 and 2 ☺️✨✨
It would be SO helpful if even just school teachers could try to understand like this!! Thank you, its super helpful when teachers do this ❤
I agree! I'm type 2 (not even currently on meds) but I've had type 1 students and taken them on week long out of state trips. The more I know, the better!
Always wild to see how much you have to think about everyday to manage your diabetes!! GREAT VID MARY AND MIK
The dog is like what the heck is going on? we going or naw😂Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow I never realized how tall you are! This video was so fun, you and your bestie are adorable ☺️
I dont have diabetes and no one in my family does either but ive always had issues with my blood sugar. As a kid, if i didnt eat every so often i would feel like i was gonna pass out, nauseous and terrible headaches. Now as an adult, i dont get those feelings as often but when i do they are terrible. My heart starts pumping super hard, dizzy, blacking out etc. Thanks for bringing awareness to blood sugar issues. It makes me want to go get an in depth analysis on whats going on in my body.
Edit: Mik is soo cute 😻
Hey, I have t1 diabetes and just got diagnosed. Your channel helps me cope and get through the new struggles. Thank you so much, and keep up the amazing work. 😊
Yo same bro!!
In the hospital we are trained to let the alcohol completely dry and then when we get the blood, we wipe the first drop away to avoid contamination from the alcohol wipe.
Yes, I remember the assistant doing that; I also remember the times they couldn't really get a 2nd drop and had to start over, since you aren't supposed to 'milk it ' either. Of course we are also supposed to use a new lance every time! And, to not put our finger in our mouth afterwards. I understand why each of these matter, but that doesn't mean I'm always gonna live that way. 😁
Doctors have tested my blood sugars for years and years. Not a single one has ever wiped my finger with an alcohol wipe. We just prick and bleed 😂
OMG THANK YOU for the conversion I always have to look it up on your videos (bc sadly I'm in america) to figure it out lol. Love you girl keep em coming can't wait to watch you grow more!
Love your channel Mary keep it all going and up 100% support you so so proud Diabetes commonity stict together support you are never alone 😊😊❤
Regarding the alcohol swab: as a nurse that’s what I have as learned behavior (clean with alcohol first, wipe away a few drops of blood first). However, upon further research, it is recommended that you simply wash your hands with soap and water to remove anything that could be on the skin that could have an abnormally high results. #themoreyouknow
Thanks for the blood sugar conversions for those of us in the US. It's so appreciated! I knew 17 was high but was clueless how high!
You just need to multiply or divide by 18 to do the conversion.
I Love how mik just deadass said then go get water after you said your thirsty lmao 😂 the most unbothered queen ever 😂
Love your content!!! Thank you!!!
As a person who uses mg/dl I saw the 17.6, read it as 176 and I was like, okay not too bad, especially if she had eaten. AND THEN I SAW THE CONVERSION AND WAS LIKE OH- GIRL THAT'S HIGH
Your seriously gorgeous
I have diabetes but I’m not type 1 or 2. I have a disease called Familial Partial Lipodystrophy, my body doesn’t create body fat for sugar to store in so instead it stores in my muscles and I have to take an insulin that is 5xs stronger than regular insulin. I love watching your videos btw ❤
I have this too…I’ve literally never met anyone else who has FPL 😮
Thank you for making people less alone and making me feel less alone on the Diabetes journey
I have been following you for a week. You and your friend are so funny,thank you for making me laugh with my type one diabetic diagnosis
i like how your friend mik hold,s your puppy teddy💖(ted is so cute)
love your channel Mary! and your personality ❤ I have t1d and I'm always watching for pure entertainment and ideas for my t1d journey too. I'm always looking to see if you've uploaded
Since when
since when have I had diabetes?
@@xXRizax yes
The dog that stood in the background 😍
This video is chaotic in the best way and I love it
The way my foster mom explain s ketone s to me is that it's like sugar crystals in your blood stream if they don't go down then as t1d u go to er I'm on omnipod I love itv
Ted is the MVP in this video
So much content wow 😍 thank you !
Happy Easter Mary have a good one treat yourself have a good one 🐰🥚🐣🐇🦦
I love how she is a ray of sunshine even at 300! I would be in killing mode 😂
I literally binged watched all of ur videos and most of ur shorts in less the 12 hrs but I have no idea how u came across my fyp but I love it and love ur content
That was no joke the best funniest video I’ve ever watched 😆 I have to get my friend to do thisss!also that outfit is so CUTE
Oh cool, I wanna try that too with my friend 😂❤
Yes it can affect it. But you can us it just have to wait till its completely dry. Also During legal draws they are not allowed to use alcohol pads before drawing their blood because it could heighten the alcohol level.
I was surprised to find out the story about type 2 diabetes and what happened when artificial sweetners were invented. Back then all doctors thought wow this is a game changer for all my diabetic patients. They told every diabetic hey here is a way you can enjoy sweet food and drinks again and you don't have to worry about your blood sugar anymore! After some time they noticed that those type 2 diabetics had a noticeably worse symptoms. Now they found out even though it does not affect the blood sugar our body registers the sweetness from our taste buds and in preparation of the normally incoming sugar releases insulin. The problem is because the body can't use artificial sweeteners and there is no actual sugar incoming the insulin is just useless floating in the body sometimes causing a drop in the blood sugar levels. Studies now show that people with type 2 diabetes that consumed artificial sweeteners had a much worse insulin resistance than patients that were in the control group that didn't consume the sweeteners. Back then the doctors had to backstep on what they told thier patients after they found out that many people had worse insulin resistance than before. It's something that is pretty well known here in Germany were I live.
It is also worth testing twice when you think you are either too high or too low.
I love your content ❤
No this video is me at school on a feild trip with my teacher
From a scientific study performed by the university of New Hampshire, the prep pads were shown to give a lower reading on average, however it was not enough of a difference to affect patient care. The thought behind alcohol giving false readings comes from those mixing up isopropyl alcohol, which has no sugar/glucose, to food alcohol which is made from fermented sugar
You guys are awesome! I love T1D content👍 I'm happily married so it's cool🤣
Being diabetic for strange reason love it when she talks diabetic talk
Enjoy your channel and energy
When my insulin was not controlled at first...it used to come back on all drug test and blood work said I had high alcohol level. Now I got my pump and my libre I haven't had that ty
I'm realizing that being a diabetic in the US or Canada must be so difficult. When I think of white rice, bagels or toast (I'm guessing it's wheat toast), I normally just think "Oh I'm going to be eating basically a handful of pure sugar". Carbs from rye bread, rye toast brown rice and beans makes the blood sugar so much easier to manage, but most North Americans (and Southern Europeans) are probably not used to that sort of diet from childhood. #DT1club
i have no idea, but i laughed so hard at “or maybe we could bake some chicken nuggets today”, my humor is broken. ITS NOT EVEN MEANT TO BE FUNNYYY 😭😭😭
Hi I would like to know for how long you have diabetes me I had it since 10years old and I love your videos and I show it to my mom cause I didn’t see a lot of people with diabetes. And you made me think about getting a omnipod cause it look kinda simple
Here for the primo doggo content lol
If you hear someone yelling, that's my mom yelling at you to close the fridge!
fact check, yes the alcohol wipe does affect bs
Never keep your bread in the fridge. The starch molecules in bread recrystallize very quickly at cool temperatures, and cause the bread to stale much faster when refrigerated
You use alcohol but you wipe the first blood drop away , then use the second drop for the reading.
I once saw someone test their soda with their blood sugar meter to make sure it was a diet soda
Yes not supposed to use alcohol unless you wait and allow it to FULLY dry (does not count if you wipe your finger dry)
I love you, girly. My camera is about to die and totally spaced to even charge the battery, hehe...
We have some Tea called Lowsu Tea , which helps lower blood sugar. Everyday drinks 2 cup like Venti size, can see significat change. Do you want to try ? Can send you some from Hawaii.
our PDMs say kinda the same thing but mine says hi :) 🤣
ITS TED!
I'm loving your videos. My mom was type 1, so I never tasted regular sodas until I was in college. I was diagnosed in 1999, with type 2. Was put on metformin in the very beginning and still taking it now along with Trulicity. But I understand the people who find out I'm diabetic, including doctors and they immediately making judgments against me. Even worse now, I'm 53 and have 2 forms of Arthritis, Osteo-Arthritis and RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS. But also fibromyalgia and 2 brand new ones diagnosed in 2021 & 2022. One has no cure, so the doctors ignore it and the other one is progressive too. Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy CIDP. Only 1 in 500,000 get it. Most of EVERYONE including doctors have never heard of it so I do a lot of explaining. It causes massive numbness to areas all over me. Making it difficult to get around and my Neurologist likes to remind me that "You're lucky you're not assigned to a wheelchair full time and you're still able to walk, with help.
I just wanted to thank you, for your videos. I'm watching them especially when I'm feeling low and depressed about all the things I can't do anymore but really want to. -Brightest Blessings
that is correct. in my hospital the protocol was not to wipe with alcohol just make them wash their hands
Best friend and I have been friends for thirty plus years
Only two words: diabadass gals 🤣🤪🥰
You know what else is bad for your blood sugars. Skipping your nighttime snack. Seriously if i skipped my nightime snack my sugars were through the roof
I love watching your videos 😊but this is the first time I noticed you’re tall.. how tall are you? (If that’s ok to ask)
I have Vitiligo which is an autoimmune disorder associated with type 1 diabetes and I have been having major symptoms of diabetes. WHAT DO I DO?
Take medical help
How did you get from 17.6 to 316 what did you divide it by?
1 mmol/L equals approximately 18 mg/dL.
So, 17.6 times 18 and that's equal to 316
Oh ok thank you:)
I wanna know what you do with the used omipods
About the alchohol thing you wipe it off once then redo it
Hi from a Type 2 19 year old diabetic from Kelowna bc
Does anyone know what camera she uses?
How often do you post ?
Why do you do a calculation in your head when you're high I need to take insulin without any carbs? I use the Omnipod and Dexcom when I have a high I go to my Omni pod controller. Enter zero carbs and my blood sugar, the Omnipod and the Dexcom take into account, how much insulin I already have on board. Am I wrong to do it this way? Wouldn't having to calculate in your head defeat, the purpose of having the closed loop.
Mary how tall are you sweetie?
where are the cargo pants from?! H&M?
we found them at Dynamite!! 😁
Is an omnipod the same as an insulin pump
Yes it is a type of insulin pump
What ever happened to "cooking about Mik"?
She does look like Kim Possible
Dude I never realized how tall you are!!
Can you use a phone app instead of the PDM to connect with the Omnipod?
For iOS, apple, sadly no.
@@keshazel So you can do it with an Android phone?
I haven't Googled that.
No ..we can't use phone to run Omnipod yet. Maybe one day!
@@thechronicillnessdiaries2773 okay thanks for the info 👍🏼
Ikr
where u from
M + M Meals!! 🎉
Hi I love your vids ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
MY BG HAS BEEN HIGH FOR 5 HRS AND I WANT FOOD BUT I CANT EAT BECAUSE ITS LIKE 15 :
What happened to more videos
Hiiiiii❤❤🎉
👍
Hiiiii!!!
Hello!!!
@@marycomeau Thank you for posting! 🫶❤️❤️🫶
That moment when you external walking pancreas is like, "Meh. I am taking it seriously, but I feel like you will not be able to NOT let me know before you...like...die."
Edit to ask a legit question because you said somethind about ketones when you were first diagnosed.
Aren't most pediatric dx in diabetic ketoacidosis? For some reason, I guess I just assumed (probably should not do that) that the vast majority of children are really sick when they get their dx.
Mary. iM tHiRsTy
other girl. OK THEN GET SOMETHING TO DRINK
Ketones are not the same as ketoacidosis
Merry me❤🎉
I ripped off my cannula and my insulin is leaking and I'm going high 😅
Oh noo, I hope it came down 🥲
@@your_favourite_idiot7596 yes I changed the patch and it did
U should at least wash your hands or swab it with a alcohol swab they say wait till it's completely dry like 2 mins is what I do
Hiii
The height difference tho
Hiiiiiiiiiiii
🤪🤣
You need to lower your carbs and any thing with added sugar ! Those readings are high. My mom was at 16-17 and she was having periods of almost blacking out. Very thirsty too. Carbs are broken down into sugar. Diabetes can lead to cancer. Happened with my father brain tumour dead within 3 weeks diagnosis to death……gliblastoma multiforme worse brain tumour to have…….deadly…..plus he had diabetic sores and bleeding feet plus neuropathy nerves dead from high blood sugar.
Keto carnivore diet is what u need. Strictly low carb. And fruit juices worse thing to have …..fruit has frustose which is processed in the liver…..and can cause fatty liver and fatty pancreas. Watch Dr Ken Berry on UA-cam . Talk about diabetes. Nothing to play around with…..almost lost my mom in April 2022 when her diabetes was in the 16-17 range. She used Berberine and I massively changed her diet.
Why was your blood sugar 17 mmol/L? This is highly dangerous if it’s like that for a sustained period especially in relation to developing diabetic retinopathy.
I hope for your sake that you can figure out how to avoid those sorts of extreme BS levels.
She knows that.
@@pegaseg70 yea exactly she knows that
prob first time ill ever be this early lmao
