My 12 year old is newly diagnosed. She found your channel and LOVES your shorts!! She sends them to me all the time . seeing a younger person with T1 makes her not feel so alone ❤️
I'm am not diabetic but I know a few people who struggle with it. Your videos are so eye opening and truly let us see what it can be like to have a health challenge like this. I've had COVID and I can't imagine having to deal with the added stress of having diabetes. I am happy you and your boyfriend are recovered. Happy New Year and thank you for your videos and spreading awareness.
Ah omg congratulations! As a Type one diabetic myself, I subscribed to you for comfort and someone else who can understand what type one diabetics have to go through. You are honestly the best person I know and I’m so grateful I subscribed ❤
I'm not diabetic, but I am diagnosed with hypoglycemia (opposite problem-----fun times!). One thing I've noticed is that stress makes the sugars do whack a mole stuff with one minute we're at 120, next we're in the 60s. Add in the whole PMS versus blood sugars issues, and for me eating glucose doesn't work the same way (it has to be real food) and it's CHALLENGING to keep stable sugars when you're sick! I've resorted to sippy packs of baby food for nutrition for when I'm sick.
I don’t have diabetes but I also have a chronic illness (in my case, chronic pain and HSD) and your energy just brightens up the way I deal with my own struggles and I learn so much in the process! Thank you so much for sharing your journey and I’m so glad it backfired positively on your health too💛
Your channel has become sort of a comfort channel for me :) I love and appreciate your content as a T1D for over 3 years. I hope you’re doing well right now. Thank you!
Oh! Just saw the ending :0 I think painting on omnipods/dexcoms would be a really fun idea, it seems like a cool way to decorate pods for a little bit.
I had covid in early 2022 and was only diagnosed with t1d in the summer, but in the fall, I got quite sick and surprisingly my blood sugars stayed normal. Also happy that you are feeling better! Probably my fav youtuber😄
Just found your channel today and have shown my 13 year old son, who was diagnosed Christmas Day 2020, a few of your shorts. I love that he is able to feel like there are other people out there that can relate with all the site changes and alarms and unexpected changes in plans. Thank you for what you are doing! And congrats on the all the new subscribers, myself included. 💙
I'm T2 not T1 but you give me a good basic idea of everything. I have been sick too. I've had bronchitis after meeting with the family where 3 of them had COVID. Glad your on the mend. X
Congratulations you have come so far you should be so proud of yourself ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Also sorry you got covid 😑😷🤒 I have T1 too (I'm 13) seeing someone like you (strong beautiful the list goes on) makes me feel like I'm not alone thank you so much ❤️❤️😁
Somehow your delightful attitude in spite of your life's challenges makes me/we so excited to watch every single reel! I missed you while you were sick.
I just adore you. You make me feel positive about my health. I’ve had Covid 2X. We contracted its as a family in the beginning…. There were no tests or shots. It was fn horrific. High levels of keytones, I’m a R2D2 nd I physically was so dehydrated I had to have iv meds. Mt twin sister also a t2d was in the icu.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SOOOOO MUCH AND I LOVE U TOO YOURE THE MOST POSITIVE PERSON I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE AND IT MAKES ME HAPPY THAT YOU ARE SO HAPPY :D!
Congrats on the growth. My 10 year old daughter is living with T1 for 2 years now and your content has been so refreshing and fun for the both of us. keep growing
My Daughter was running a little high with Covid, but that was her only symptom (rest of the family was bed bound, but she kept bouncing around). Ideas for content: have you any experience with T1 meet up or events ?
Cant wait to see more Content Happy New Year glad you and Boyfriend recovered and raising awareness someone has to keep it up Hun 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️ proud of you your so brave strong 😊😊
I guess I'm one of the newcomers. Congratulations and glad you are feeling better. Been watching a lot of you shorts recently. Always entertaining. Thank you.
Love love love your videos! I’m not a diabetic but I am a nurse & when taking care of Covid patients 9/10 they were ridiculously high and hard to get down! So glad you’re feeling better! ❤
I hope you start posting more longer videos like this when you start feeling better! I really love these longer videos! I've learned so much about T1D.
Your story is the reason why when the pandemic hit we packed my 15 year old diabetic brother up and moved him to a cabin in the mountains for almost a year. Just him and mom so he wouldn't get so sick that he had to go to the hospital. I'm so glad you were okay and didn't have to go to the hospital.
I have a 12 y/o son that is a diabetic. When he got covid in 2020 he had 1 maybe 2 days of feeling really bad. Stayed in bed all day, had ketones, couldn't keep much down, had fever. The whole 9 yards. Almost took him to the ER as well. Once the nausea subsided he was all good. Now he has had stomach virus a few months after that & I did take him to the ER with large ketones & hours of not even being able to keep stomach acid down. Got 1 bag of fluid & zofran & we were good to go. We got a prescription for zofran from that & it has helped us in 1 covid case & 2 stomach viruses over a span of 3 years. If you could having zofran on hand is very helpful.
So glad to hear that you are feeling better! When I got covid my numbers went super high (like 400) so I was surprised to hear that yours kept dropping at first! I was also on vacation in Scotland so my anxiety was super high until I finally started to feel better. Congratulations on your plaque, can't wait to see more videos from you!
so glad you're feeling better and didn't have to go to the hospital, feel bad you and your bf were sick over Christmas, when you said all, you were doing was crying i almost cried for you that's so sad, but your better now seem to have your crazy energy back lol I would love to have a quarter of your energy... congrats on the play button you deserve it.. stay safe 😷 and healthy take care of yourself💜💙🧡💛
I'm at the back end of a cold, I had a faulty Lebre sensor on and it was saying my levels were perfect. I changed my sensor and can't budge from about 12 - 9 mmol/l no matter how much Insulin I take. It's the first time I have been sick with diabetes. I have only been diagnosed with type 1 for 2 months. It's such a roller coaster. Watching your videos on here and TikTok has really helped me and made me feel part of a diabetic community. Thank you! Keep up the fantastic work and congrats on over 100k subs 😊
I got sick just before Christmas as well. I had horrible blood sugars and my ketones were bananas. My sugars were ranging between 3 and close to 27 with barely any substance in me. It took about a week for them to regulate. Side note: I love your videos. It helps keep me educated and motivates me to keep on top of my sugars. It helps that you are heckin awesome and completely random like me. Keep up the phenomenal work.
congratulations on your 100k! seeing your chaotic energy as you try to make the best of your diabetes just makes me so happy and gives me so much inspiration. sorry about the covid tho.
Feel you on the covid front. I could barely move. I was sick for 2 week with it. I slept for 4 days straight. Could only get one light meal a day into me because that’s all I had the energy for. Put a 2L bottle of water next to my bed and a straw so I didn’t have to move to take little sips when I was awake.
Congratulations! After having COVID for the first time last September, my A1C went higher and my asthma got worse. Also I had them run labs to see where my new levels are at, I got a big surprise on that. Stay safe and healthy
I had Covid, the first time being sick since diagnosed with Type 1. Insane. My blood sugar wouldn't respond to the Insulin. At the same time, my Dad was declining and I was the only one able to be with him. I didn't think I had Covid, didn't have time to think about it. I had a treatment protocol I started right away - I was fortunate I didn't get it as bad as my boyfriend did. My endo and the patient portal saved the day. She guided me all along. She asked if I had a Dexcom and I did - she would have given me one. I felt horrible, mostly from the emotional drain of my Dad and the constant High Blood sugar. I also have an adrenal issue so I got to pump up my steroids and I do believe that kept Covid from getting worse.
I'm just a type 2. I know it's not the same or as important but I also use a dexcom and I really enjoy watching your videos. You always make me laugh even when I don't want to take my diabetes meds anymore.
I've had COVID three times. The first time I was sick for two straight weeks. The first week, my sugar just would not come down. Ketones were fine. I stayed hydrated. Had an appetite. But my sugar just would not budge. The second time, my sugar stayed elevated for the two days that I actually felt sick. And the third time, everything stayed normal. Also congrats on 100k+! I recently found you through shorts and loved your energy and humor! Especially since diabetes can sometimes not be the most humorous thing. It absolutely gets me through some of my rough days.
Omg congratulations, i dont have diabetes but i love watching your videos.i am so excited to see someone i love get such a huge acheviment. I can’t wait to see you grow bigger!
I'm diabetic and have had the C word twice. It was mixed for me. I got a mild fever, minor aches and pains, but the cough and fatigue. Those were EPIC! I coughed FOREVER!
as a t1d, one tip for when i’m sick is i always get regular gatorade. it keeps me hydrated, plus it gives me carbs so i don’t have to worry about eating!
Hey Mary just subbed your an amazing person I had Covid in September last year I was literally in bed for 6 days I have now lost 11 stone in a year and a half and doctors said I have reversed diabetes and I love watching your videos please never stop making all you fantastic content ❤❤
Team Type 1!! I love your vids because it make me feel normal. All the frustrations and all the extra planning that doesn't always work. I had CoVid but definitely not as bad as you. I have been in the hospital for DKA twice (ok three times but the first wasn't my fault). Worst feeling ever. Congratulations on the award!!! Thanks for putting out such great content! I wish you all the best
Had diabetes since 3 (nearly 10 years) it is a fun journey but yet there is some ups and downs, my HbA1c is absolutely crap at the moment but you really are boosting my confidence, thank you!
First off, Congrats on the YT Plaque! That's an awesome milestone. As for the virus, sorry to hear you caught it. I haven't had it, but I'm so scared for all the reasons you mentioned. Diabetes and being sick don't go well together. EEEK! I also wanted to mention, which isn't so helpful know but just in case you don't know. Shoppers and most pharmacies now carry Dexcom supplies. So if you are ever in a pinch again, there you go. Would be out of pocket though. Congrats and keep up the great videos. I love what I eat in a day and content where you actually show your sugars and what you'll bolus for certain meals. Helps others (me) to see how others Carb count. :)
Congrats on the milestones! As a US mom of a t1d daughter (dx’d at 3 1/2, now 15) she loves seeing someone as dorkalicious as we are! ☺️💙. In the US, our meters give totally different results…her goal range is 80-120. Is Canada’s….metric?! 🤣😂🤣 Keep up the good fight, and keep being you!
Yes we definitely measure our blood sugar differently!! You can multiply my number by 18 to get yours, or divide yours by 18 to get mine! Also love the word dorkalicious 😂💕
Very glad i recently subscribed to you Mary, sorry you had covid, not well myself and covid I had TWICE was awful i cant image you feeling like that :( xx
so i personally have never had covid, but i can imagine how awful it would've been!! i would love to see a video on diabetes and your period cause despite having diabetes basically my entire life, have not figured out blood sugars over my period!! i just know that nothing is normal!!
I had Covid over Christmas too. For the second time. I had it over thanksgiving last year. It was also during my sons bday, which i felt like the worst mom ever cuz we had to cancel his party. And my last day outta quarantine was on thanksgiving but no one wanted to come around still. It was very mild though. This time around it was a bit worse but still not as bad as it could be thankfully. I don’t have diabetes but i do have lupus and High BP and j just thank god that both times were super mild. Glad you’re okay!!!
Awwww sweets!!! Glad you’re feeling better now. I legit know the feeling of testing all the times you’re sick then when you actually have it you’re like oh ok hahaha moved house when I finally got it in October for first time. Legit didn’t think I did. Felt like a really bad sinus infection or head cold. My 2 year old got it but my 11 year old didn’t lol blood sugars ( pre diabetes) went wonky as
Not diabetic but when I had covid I was sick for 2 weeks and asleep for most of it. I wasn't throwing up mine was more breathing issues. I have asthma so a lot of breathing treatments and testing oxygen levels. I can't imagine having to try to maintain sugar levels. I'm glad your ok now.
I had covid from the 17th to the 25th and my sugars were really low and scary. I was munching cookies and chocolate and candy just trying to bring them up but nothing seemed to be helping. I didn't end up as sick as you though as I was never nauseous or feverish, just a bad runny nose and sleeping A LOT!!!
okay so i dont know if im the only one who dosent have diabetes and follows you but i just love you're videos you freaking kill me !!! you are so freaking funny !!! i do have loved ones who have t2 and its a struggle so i couldnt imagine what you have to deal with having t1 but you kill it !! lots of love !!
Glad you’re feeling better! We missed Christmas too because my husband and youngest child had the flu. My husband also had Covid over Thanksgiving 🤦🏻♀️ it’s been a crazy month for us lol. My birthday is at the end of January, 5 out of the 6 of us had Covid over my birthday. It was horrible, I was so mad lol. Congratulations on your UA-cam plaque!!
I had covid about a week before you and I'm still feeling rough on the odd day. Weirdly my appetite is the thing that comes and goes too. I know I need to eat, I want to eat, I get food, and then zero appetite and I eat like 1/3 of my food.
Also, my diabetes is typically pretty good so I don’t have as much of a problem with illness. Can you make a video of the cgms and pumps you’ve used in the past?
I had COVID around the same time. My blood sugar wasn’t really affected but I never thought to check for ketones! It was horrible though just being sick. Glad you’re feeling better!!
Luckily my 9 year old daughter hasn't had COVID yet, which is crazy lucky as both me and my OH got it and so did her sister she shares a room with. We love your content, she's been diagnosed for almost 3 years now and your videos help and entertain both of us so thank you
Not diabetic but I had COVID while I was 4-5 months pregnant. Husband got it first and so I tested myself and it was negative but knew I was bound to get it. I’ve never really been super sick before (no flu) but covid when I did test positive hit so hard. Husband was just super tired but I had a fever and low oxygen levels. I couldn’t move but knowing I had to eat and stay hydrated (which I think helped in the long run) I forced myself to eat and drink electrolytes. Was so nauseous but only threw up a few times over the 10 days. My lungs were trashed for weeks after. Lucky that it happened so early in the pregnancy because I would have been hospitalized most likely. I wasn’t able to move from bed for like 6 days. My husband just slept for like 3 days and was fine.
I had Covid a few months ago in the summer and same with me it felt like I was going into dka again Ps I love your content I found comfort in your videos and felt like I could relate to you a lot
Congratulations!!!! Also I hope your feeling better from that shenanigan, I have never had covid but I had been very sick before and for me it’s loss of appetite and high blood sugars
When I had covid ( i have had it 2 times once in 2020 and and time in 2021) and my blood sugars I think At least they were high I felt like doing nothing and just not too bad but then like idk 5 days - 2 weeks later I was better and I could head on back to school overall it was just horrible .
I didn't had covid, but Influenza in December. I had a fever for about two days, painful coughing. At some point I threw up from ibuprofen and coughing. Luckily my best friend could drive me to the doctor (both wearing masks) so I could get proper medicine. These few days were horrible. Positive thing out of this, I am soo grateful now being healthy (not yet 100%, but getting there)
My 12 year old is newly diagnosed. She found your channel and LOVES your shorts!! She sends them to me all the time . seeing a younger person with T1 makes her not feel so alone ❤️
This makes my heart so happy!!!! ❤
Aww bless her. As a 12 year old myself with type one diabetes, I wish her a happy blessed life. Ups and downs but you grt used to it ! :)
I'm am not diabetic but I know a few people who struggle with it. Your videos are so eye opening and truly let us see what it can be like to have a health challenge like this. I've had COVID and I can't imagine having to deal with the added stress of having diabetes. I am happy you and your boyfriend are recovered. Happy New Year and thank you for your videos and spreading awareness.
Wow Sarah thank you so so much!! Happy new year, can’t wait to share more with you soon! 😁💕
Ah omg congratulations! As a Type one diabetic myself, I subscribed to you for comfort and someone else who can understand what type one diabetics have to go through. You are honestly the best person I know and I’m so grateful I subscribed ❤
this was SO nice amber thank you!! Happy new year 😁❤️
What you share helps a lot of people, take care of you ok, congrats on your you tube award too
I'm not diabetic, but I am diagnosed with hypoglycemia (opposite problem-----fun times!). One thing I've noticed is that stress makes the sugars do whack a mole stuff with one minute we're at 120, next we're in the 60s. Add in the whole PMS versus blood sugars issues, and for me eating glucose doesn't work the same way (it has to be real food) and it's CHALLENGING to keep stable sugars when you're sick! I've resorted to sippy packs of baby food for nutrition for when I'm sick.
I don’t have diabetes but I also have a chronic illness (in my case, chronic pain and HSD) and your energy just brightens up the way I deal with my own struggles and I learn so much in the process! Thank you so much for sharing your journey and I’m so glad it backfired positively on your health too💛
Your channel has become sort of a comfort channel for me :) I love and appreciate your content as a T1D for over 3 years. I hope you’re doing well right now. Thank you!
Oh! Just saw the ending :0 I think painting on omnipods/dexcoms would be a really fun idea, it seems like a cool way to decorate pods for a little bit.
I had covid in early 2022 and was only diagnosed with t1d in the summer, but in the fall, I got quite sick and surprisingly my blood sugars stayed normal. Also happy that you are feeling better! Probably my fav youtuber😄

I also wanted to mention, which isn't so helpful know but just in case you don't know. Shoppers and most pharmacies now carry Dexcom supplies. So if you are ever in a pinch again, there you go. Would be out of pocket though. Congrats and keep up the great videos.
I love what I eat in a day and content where you actually show your sugars and what you'll bolus for certain meals. Helps others (me) to see how others Carb count. :)
Congrats on the milestones! As a US mom of a t1d daughter (dx’d at 3 1/2, now 15) she loves seeing someone as dorkalicious as we are! ☺️💙. In the US, our meters give totally different results…her goal range is 80-120. Is Canada’s….metric?! 🤣😂🤣 Keep up the good fight, and keep being you!
Yes we definitely measure our blood sugar differently!! You can multiply my number by 18 to get yours, or divide yours by 18 to get mine! Also love the word dorkalicious 😂💕
Thank you! As she is so used to doing math in her head, I bet she can do this easily….
Congrats and I'm sorry Covid kicked ur butt. I'm glad your feeling better and back now :)
Very glad i recently subscribed to you Mary, sorry you had covid, not well myself and covid I had TWICE was awful i cant image you feeling like that :( xx
so i personally have never had covid, but i can imagine how awful it would've been!! i would love to see a video on diabetes and your period cause despite having diabetes basically my entire life, have not figured out blood sugars over my period!! i just know that nothing is normal!!
I had Covid over Christmas too. For the second time. I had it over thanksgiving last year. It was also during my sons bday, which i felt like the worst mom ever cuz we had to cancel his party. And my last day outta quarantine was on thanksgiving but no one wanted to come around still. It was very mild though. This time around it was a bit worse but still not as bad as it could be thankfully. I don’t have diabetes but i do have lupus and High BP and j just thank god that both times were super mild. Glad you’re okay!!!
Awwww sweets!!! Glad you’re feeling better now. I legit know the feeling of testing all the times you’re sick then when you actually have it you’re like oh ok hahaha moved house when I finally got it in October for first time. Legit didn’t think I did. Felt like a really bad sinus infection or head cold. My 2 year old got it but my 11 year old didn’t lol blood sugars ( pre diabetes) went wonky as
Not diabetic but when I had covid I was sick for 2 weeks and asleep for most of it. I wasn't throwing up mine was more breathing issues. I have asthma so a lot of breathing treatments and testing oxygen levels. I can't imagine having to try to maintain sugar levels. I'm glad your ok now.
So glad you’re feeling better!!!
I had covid from the 17th to the 25th and my sugars were really low and scary. I was munching cookies and chocolate and candy just trying to bring them up but nothing seemed to be helping. I didn't end up as sick as you though as I was never nauseous or feverish, just a bad runny nose and sleeping A LOT!!!
okay so i dont know if im the only one who dosent have diabetes and follows you but i just love you're videos you freaking kill me !!! you are so freaking funny !!! i do have loved ones who have t2 and its a struggle so i couldnt imagine what you have to deal with having t1 but you kill it !! lots of love !!
Welcome back and congratulations you deserve it! 🎉
Glad you’re feeling better! We missed Christmas too because my husband and youngest child had the flu. My husband also had Covid over Thanksgiving 🤦🏻♀️ it’s been a crazy month for us lol. My birthday is at the end of January, 5 out of the 6 of us had Covid over my birthday. It was horrible, I was so mad lol.
Congratulations on your UA-cam plaque!!
Congratulations! I love that your an awkward human❤️ I'm so happy your feeling better 💗
hahaha thank you!!! 😁💕
omg i’m so sorry you got sit i’m so so glad your better
I had covid about a week before you and I'm still feeling rough on the odd day. Weirdly my appetite is the thing that comes and goes too. I know I need to eat, I want to eat, I get food, and then zero appetite and I eat like 1/3 of my food.
Congratulations on the play button, hope Covid doesn’t happen again and glad you feel better. Keep making videos I really enjoy it as a t1d.
Also, my diabetes is typically pretty good so I don’t have as much of a problem with illness. Can you make a video of the cgms and pumps you’ve used in the past?
Yes I definitely will! And thank you so much! 😁
I had COVID around the same time. My blood sugar wasn’t really affected but I never thought to check for ketones! It was horrible though just being sick. Glad you’re feeling better!!
🧡💞💜💞❤️
Happy New Year
Congratulations 🎊
Luckily my 9 year old daughter hasn't had COVID yet, which is crazy lucky as both me and my OH got it and so did her sister she shares a room with. We love your content, she's been diagnosed for almost 3 years now and your videos help and entertain both of us so thank you
You just got s like and subskribe from Sweden. Looking forward to follow you. And wish you and Bf a realy nice 2023!
Not diabetic but I had COVID while I was 4-5 months pregnant. Husband got it first and so I tested myself and it was negative but knew I was bound to get it. I’ve never really been super sick before (no flu) but covid when I did test positive hit so hard. Husband was just super tired but I had a fever and low oxygen levels. I couldn’t move but knowing I had to eat and stay hydrated (which I think helped in the long run) I forced myself to eat and drink electrolytes. Was so nauseous but only threw up a few times over the 10 days. My lungs were trashed for weeks after. Lucky that it happened so early in the pregnancy because I would have been hospitalized most likely. I wasn’t able to move from bed for like 6 days. My husband just slept for like 3 days and was fine.
Idk how i even ended up on your channel but i love you energy so i stick around!
I had Covid a few months ago in the summer and same with me it felt like I was going into dka again
Ps I love your content I found comfort in your videos and felt like I could relate to you a lot
Congratulations!!!! Also I hope your feeling better from that shenanigan, I have never had covid but I had been very sick before and for me it’s loss of appetite and high blood sugars
I have covid and my dexcom just ran out so damn girl looks like our 2023 had a similar start 😆 congrats on the growth BTW
Congratulations!!! You deserve it.
Lots of Love from Dublin Ireland 🙂🇮🇪💚💚💚💚
When I had covid ( i have had it 2 times once in 2020 and and time in 2021) and my blood sugars I think At least they were high I felt like doing nothing and just not too bad but then like idk 5 days - 2 weeks later I was better and I could head on back to school overall it was just horrible .
I didn't had covid, but Influenza in December. I had a fever for about two days, painful coughing. At some point I threw up from ibuprofen and coughing. Luckily my best friend could drive me to the doctor (both wearing masks) so I could get proper medicine. These few days were horrible. Positive thing out of this, I am soo grateful now being healthy (not yet 100%, but getting there)
