Sometimes I think about how, if the world ended today, some groups of people would die within days of the apocalypse because of unobtainable medical requirements. Like diabetics would die pretty quickly without access to insulin, medical equipment like test strips and blood sugar checking devices as well as food to boost low blood- sugar. Oxygen reliant people would also die rapidly. I also think about how Neanderthals/cavemen with food allergies would have died off quickly without knowledge/anatomical understanding of allergens and anaphylaxis and live saving measures like epinephrine or albuterol rescue inhalers. A cavemen finds an odd object growing on a tree and decides to try eating it for sustenance, but it’s a chestnut and they die from it because they were among the first humans to have been born with a mutation causing tree nut allergies. Cavemen wouldn’t know what happened.

[@EnthalpyAndEntropy]

Nut allergies are a very very new thing. As for oxygen, that's easy enough. For insulin and test strips, in an apocalypse it's easy to keep stuff cool if you have half a brain... but, yeah, you'd be limited to what you can stockpile and its expiration.

Can anyone tell me what it feels like to be low and high? I know a few diabetic people who seem to just know and I'm so intrigued.

[@wheelycutetweety]

I’m not diabetic but when my sugar drops suddenly I feel really lightheaded and sometimes crave certain foods/drinks. I have non diabetic hypoglycemia.

[@lacymorris115]

I can explain this a bit for you 😊 My 14 y/o daughter is type 1 diabetic, so we talk about how she feels a *lot* to help her identify when she's high or low and can't check her sugar right away.
Firstly, the way it feels varies a whole lot, both from person to person and also from one high or low to another.
This isn't exhaustive, but these are the most common symptoms. (both in her own experience, and for most diabetics according to her doctor)
Highs typically make you feel really nauseous and very tired, like hard to function tired. It also makes you have to pee very often and subsequently, makes you thirsty. It also tends to make you feel "foggy" like it's hard to concentrate, or sometimes even a bit delerious. They can also cause temporary mood changes, making you angry or combative all of a sudden.
And here's a fun thing for diabetics - some of the symptoms for highs and lows overlap. Fun!
Lows typically make you feel *very* foggy, like you can't even easily follow a basic conversation. It can even make your vision too blurry to read. Lows also tend to make you very tired, but often in a much more light headed way. A "high tired" is more like a physical exhaustion, like you were doing yard work all day. While a "low tired" tends to be more like a sleep deprived exhaustion. Lows can also make you feel delerious, and in some cases can even make you feel or act like you're on hardcore psychedelics, which you likely won't remember later after recovering. Lows often make you feel very light headed, and can make you pass out in some cases. Like highs, they can also cause sudden mood swings, making even the sweetest person you know suddenly mean and very combative.
Highs are not typically immediately dangerous, but being *too* high for too long can cause you to go into DKA (diabetic keto-acidosis) which usually requires a short hospitalization to be treated. Highs are also what causes most of the long term risks diabetics face, like nerve damage, vision loss, very poor wound healing, and in the most extreme, limb amputation. It's the cumulative of being too high for too long, too often that causes those problems later in life.
You can think of it sort of like not brushing your teeth. If it's just occasionally, you'd probably be fine. But a few times in a row? That's more risky. And the more often you don't brush, the more likely you're going to have serious dental problems eventually.
Lows however *can* be immediately dangerous, and can even be life threatening in the most extreme cases. Lows can escalate much faster than highs, and the risk of having a seizure caused by a severe low is very real. Sustaining multiple diabetic seizures can literally cause CTE, the same kind of brain trauma football players experience.
As a mother of a type 1 diabetic, I try very hard to teach my daughter to take highs seriously, to prevent the associated long term risks as much as possible. But the lows sincerely scare me sometimes. From my point of view, I can't usually tell when my daughter is high unless she's complaining about feeling nauseous or exhausted. But I can generally spot when she's low from across a room. She'll look suddenly pale, like you do when you're extremely ill, and her eyes will be starting to droop, like she can't keep them open. And as her mom, it can be terrifying how fast even a slight low can escalate to legitimately very dangerous.
Hope this is helpful! I'm always happy to share awareness for my kid's sake, whenever anyone has the interest to ask 😊

(He tended to bottom out fast, which seemed to be common with people who had their pancreas removed in a Whipple Procedure.)

[@KufLMAO]

how is that rude
anything under 100 mg/dL is safe according to the cdc but if I remember right some other authorities peg it a bit higher

[@threedumbblondes7533]

I'm a little confused my pump has a different way of reading

[@joanwhong]

the pump readings have two different ways you can see if you're hyperglycemic or not! the one she has shows mmol/L and the other probably shows blood glucose using mg/dL (values are larger like 160)

[@lara-chan7482]

Heavens,my heart!
My granny is a diabetic and when I saw the 16 i was soooo shocked cause I didn't know how Mary is still alive with this little sugar it's now where near what it's supposed to be,I've never seen my granny getting anything below 100 and even then she starts to feel whacky....
Then i remembered that Mary is probably American and has different units. What a relief

[@AxelXionSora]

From the videos and the comments I’m pretty sure she’s Canadian

My favorite story about high blood sugar is my late great-uncle. He was on a steroid unmonitored for decades (when it should have been max like 2-5 years) and it caused a LOT of health issues. Including intermittent diabetes; don't ask how that happened/works - I still have 0 idea. Neither did the dr's, his health was so weird he should have been a case study.
But because we couldn't predict WHEN he had diabetes, his wife just treated it like he always had it, just to be safe. This meant for the last like 6-8 years of his life he was on a strict diet, no simple sugars or sweets allowed. Maybe half or a small portion of a dessert if the dinner was low GI. He was nearing the end of his life and because of his messy intermittent health crises, he was always randomly on deaths door. Like, we'd be told he was going to die this week, and the next day he's all better and being discharged. The doctors never understood how or why this happened but he just never died when he was predicted to.
I was in the airport, waiting for my flight (a trip that I'd been saving and planning for 2.5 years - so there was no going back now) when my mom called me. He was doing poorly, and was expected to die this week but I was already planned to be flying out so I couldn't attend his funeral/celebration of life that was planned. My mom just awkwardly asked "hey- so.... how weird do you think it would be if uncle _ (his name) *attended his own funeral* ?" Basically he defied death once again, and was out of the ICU. Family from England was already on their flight out to say goodbyes and for the funeral... so we couldn't cancel it. They decided to follow through with it and he would show up at his own celebration of life (COL) 😂😂. As he was still precarious and going to be hospital-bound until he finally died, the doctors said that he could go: and to *eat whatever he wanted* ,they'll just fix his blood sugar when he comes back. So every photo we have of him at his COL, he was just STUFFING his mouth with desserts. He made up for years of no sweets in a few hours event, there was not a moment where he didn't have food in his mouth.
When he got back to the hospital, his blood sugar was *36*
What the fuck. I have no clue how he was even functioning let alone still standing 😂. He lasted about another week before passing away.

Can you please contact me? I’m type 2 and if my blood sugar goes over 150 If I give myself any insulin I am guaranteed to go low and I’m terrified after experiencing that more than once.

[@alliebridwell2321]

I don’t know a lot about type 2 because I am type 1 but for me that blood sugar is actually like perfect

[@Restingmadface]

Bruh, I get the shits when mine’s high. 😑

[@candacereese5276]

I used to have that but I had to go to the doctor and get my blood crap whatever and I was like 3 years old and now I I am eight years old that was freaking 5 years ago oh and that hurts bad

[@tyriannaleslie7622]

my roommate, Kelice screamed as it was painful, and she forgot to turn the pain off

[@tobynwolf]

I would recommend not pricking the little finger and the thumb due to the possibility of tenosynovitis and deep Palmar space infections. Use the other 3 fingers.

[@kathleenrwar7976]

Has anyone ever recommended to you that you should use the sides of your fingers as it'll hurt less as you have less Nerve endings there, Honestly I'm a diabetic too and watching you put the main part of your finger makes me wince

[@commonsense1383]

I'm 54. I've been Type 1 diabetic since I was 12. I've never heard of the numbers (UOM) you're using. I've always used mg/dL (as in, 100 is the target; with a range of +/- 20). My Hemoglobin A1C is btwn 6.1 - 6.5 for the last 20 years. I've never understood the A1C numbers. Are you using A1C numbers? BTW, I love that you are raising awareness this way. You're super transparent and real...and adorable!

[@awkwardukulele6077]

Also diabetic, your A1C checks something, I forget the name, that goes up and down with your blood sugar almost 1:1. It’s cumulative, which means it takes a while (about 3 months in this case) to fade away, so your A1C at the doc’s is about how high your blood sugar was on average since your last checkup. (That’s assuming you go every 3 months, which is what I and all diabetics I know have done, but maybe not everyone does that.)
I don’t think this is A1C though, since she’s checking if her blood sugar has been high _that day._ A1C isn’t helpful for that, so she’s probably checking like we would, but a different metric. Like kilometers or miles, it’s a different way to check the same stuff.

[@Marie19980]

Ur boss should allow u to check ur blood ur sugar whenever u need since ur diabetic ☹️

[@stormysmurf]

Can't she get ADA for this? My partner is newly diagnosed T1D and this was mentioned.

[@maryevans4990]

I have prediabetes, and my dr what me to use one of those damn thing to check my blood sugar. Thing is I hate needles. Any tips. Love watching your videos.

[@Ecarg476]

Get over it?

[@alliebridwell2321]

Yah there is no way to really avoid it

[@dragonire_dino0856]

@Ecarg476 🙄 It's not that easy to just get over something like that

[@Lucyloveshorses92]

Sorry going through the same thing

[@rose.352]

And I think it is high 🤪🤪🤪
Me:yeah no kidding
(Joke)

[@Fairy_Tonic]

My brother has diabetes ( Cf related diabetes, also dyslexia so he isnt the best at counting sadly ) And we always struggle to get the exact amount of insulin to count for what is that app you use? 👀

[@alliebridwell2321]

She is using an insulin pump instead of giving insulin through shots it is attached to the body. When she gives herself insulin she puts in her carbs and blood sugar level and it calculates and gives her insulin
