    If you get the adhesive ‘burn’ from the patch you can get your doctor to prescribe Fluticazone to spray on your skin first. You spray your skin, let it dry and then apply the patch. That is what I do and it works wonderfully well!!!

    It's so great to see such a candid, honest representation of T1D online~! Not realizing you bought the wrong kind of jello is so effing relatable 😂 T1D since 2001 but I've only been dealing with pumps and CGM since 2020, my skincare routine
    pre adhesive - spray the skin with flonase! I found I was allergic to the dexcom adhesive and it was giving me BLISTERS, but if I spray down flonase first and let it dry completely, it creates a barrier
    post adhesive - wipe it with alcohol and let it dry completely, then slap on the heaviest lotion you can come up with (aquafor is great, but also slimy... I bet coconut butter would be good, I just have random lotion all over my house) and reapply lotion anytime you notice the skin is dry. If you have ingrown hairs or othersuch bumps leftover, you can wash the area with salicylic acid face or body wash, and that should help exfoliate that stuff away.
    Also, my explanation of T1D usually goes like this... "So one morning my immune system woke up and chose violence, and was like HEY INSULIN-MAKING CELLS, WTF, and their relationship never recovered. My immune system killed off all those handy cells, and now I have to do the hard work manually."

    I have been diabetic for 36 years and as you said in your video we know the risks involved and i get s fed up of being reminded of it by my diabetic nurse. I have just recently been using the Freestyle Libe 2 for the past four months. Im not sure about using the pump so I will just carry on with injecting myself with my Novo rapid insulin pen. I have had no complications here, its just a matter of being careful watching what you eat and how much insulin you put in (bit trial and error some days lol) but overall I am doing ok. You just get used to it eh? I love your new appartment by the way :) Take care x

    When I’m going high, I set a ten minute timer and go quickly go up and down my stairs. In my basement I have some dumb bells, so I’ll throw in some arm exercises, then go up the stairs and around all my rooms. Back to the basement, some arm reps….or I’ll put a 10 min HIIT workout on the TV. I’m not T1D, just trying to avoid T2D.

    I found out I was a type 2 diabetic about 4 months ago. I’ve been able to manage it so far without insulin (through diet and medication), but thinking of all the problems I could have down the road is definitely scary. I was starting to have high blood pressure before being diagnosed, and I had an aunt who had that and died at 44 of a heart attack. I’m not that much younger than she was, and that thought is scary. Thankfully, I’m doing much better since getting the help I needed. I feel so much better, too.

    This is the same for autosoft 90
    But back when i was on pens i had a fl3, that one did leave marks, the adhesive was super strong which really hurt
    I used the Medtronic iport, and that one was easily pulled off with alcohol swabs

    Have you ever tried the Simpleras and Medtronic pump? If you have, what's your thoughts? I'm just being moved over to a pump from long and short acting insulin pens, but feeling a little overwhelmed because the pump and accessories all arrived in 2 deliveries the other day and it's a LOT. That and a course I had to complete with test questions along with a training day... I asked about the omnipod style version but apparently for whatever reason that's not an option for me, only this pump (maybe due to the levels I need? I have no idea) but it feels totally overwhelming, and on top of that, a new sensor to learn and new finger prick device for them all to speak to one another 🙈. I never use handbags etc, but I feel like I'm gonna have to start carrying around a beach bag with me just for all the stuff I'm going to need! 😂.
    I've had issues with the libre 2 sensors (which is what I use currently) sticking and issues when bathing/showering and them coming off, if you have tried the simplera ones, how do you find them compared to the libre?
    Any tips for this big change would be massively welcome! I have gastroperesis (which is why I have the diabetes issue I have, that predates the diabetes) and can only eat once a day, I have a hugely clean diet for the most part, made some big food sacrifices (food I LOVE like pasta 😂 and bread and white potatoes) swapped to sweet potatoes when having them, mostly I have a protein, salad/veggies and sweet potato either fries, jacket or mash.... but still struggle and because I don't always absorb everything or even anything sometimes, I can't bolus I have to be reactive rather than proactive and the long acting insulin can hold me low in those times, so theyre thinking the short acting insulin little and often as needed will help more to keep me stable. I went literally 6 weeks without being able to get above 4 and ended up in hospital quite poorly til they withdrew all insulin. My Dr literally when I was complaining I wanted to go home said "look, I'm going to be honest with you, we expect to come in and find you dead in your bed at this point so you need to be here" I was like " well when you put it like that....FINE!" 😂 I have so much anxiety about insulin now because of that, and the stuff on top of that it's just a lot! So any tips and advice massively welcome! Love your channel X

    I had a similar experience to you with the jello recently BUT mine was because of false advertising lol. I should have double checked but read sugar free or zero sugar cant remember the exact words and went with that. I was super thirsty and craving a fizzy drink which I really rarely ever drink. I chose a fanta pineapple and grapefruit..... only to then learn it had sugar in it and wondered why my sugars went through the roof 😂 it's stamped in big letters all over it Zero Sugar.... which to me means it has zero sugar, call me silly 😂 but what it actually means is zero added sugar.... which I feel is deliberately misleading targeting those of us with either diabetes or those just trying to stay away from sugar to trick us! So now I double check everything even if it says sugar free or zero sugar! 😂 darn advertisers! Probably my own fault for not making better choices 😂😂

    Mary, with respect I think you went through that scary part way too fast. In fact in my opinion this needs its own video. First, let me say I AM NOT a diabetic. I am however friends with several men who are. One such man is also an epileptic and for some reason, his blood glucose can trigger seizures. I was with him one day about 5 years ago at his Doctors Office. Before I picked him up he ate breakfast and over bolused before he ate. By the time we got to the Clinic as we were walking in he went right into a full-on Tonic-Clonic seazure. One of the nurses came outside and helped me with him. She stick-tested him after he recovered and his blood sugar was 45. Then the man went into status epilepticus and at almost the same time I could hear the ambulance coming the nurse injected him with glucagon just before his 2nd seizure started. The look of fear in that man's eyes was something I will never forget. I am not a doctor or a CDE, but I have heard that diabetes EVEN under control still is causing damage to the human body. Diabetes affects ALL the organs. It is scary. Diabetes is NOT funny. Having A1Cs much over 7 is playing dangerous games with your health.

If you had read my comment carefully, you would have understood that I was highlighting the severity of this condition. It is indeed frightening, as I have witnessed in the eyes of someone who suffers from it. I simply felt that Mary glossed over that part much too quickly. Thankfully, Mary is not also epileptic. I admire her capacity to remain lighthearted despite her condition. During your rant, you overlooked that I shifted the discussion slightly in my final sentences to speak about diabetes in broader terms. It's not a laughing matter for those who live with it.
