Your Type 1 Diatetic Friend

The last time I checked, people in general don’t like having their blood taken but as a diabetic it’s the way it is…

After having my recent HbA1C done, I thought I would share my results and share a bit about the HbA1c mindset.

I feel that those who have poor control probably fear the results while those with good control seem to look forward to their results. What do you feel when getting your HbA1C done, fear factor or something you are used to?

I know it’s been a while since I posted anything. Feel kinda bad about that (I really do).

How are you?  

In this video I thought it would be good to share my story of how I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

I explain the events that led up to this significant time in my life as well as some of the symptoms of diabetes that I experienced before heading to hospital.

What was your experience like leading up to your diagnosis?

Other News:

• I hope you all have a great Christmas and have a blessed time with friends and family.
• I need to change my logo, anyone got any ideas?

I thought I would mention the benefits I have found after using the pump for just over a year.

Some of these benefits include:

• Having fewer lows
• Able to split the dose
• Adjusting temp basil rate on the fly
• Generally feeling more ‘normal’

Okay so going low sucks!  I haven’t met many diabetics who look forward to the feeling of going low…  In this video, I explain some of the symptoms I experience while going low as well as some of the frustration about others not being able to identify what is happening when I go low.

Having low blood sugar is not the end of the world however and we are in this together!

I went on a recent holiday to Barcelona in Spain and thought it would be a great idea to show everyone how I used my insulin pump on the beach and how I kept it cool under the surprisingly hot conditions.

Some people are worried about what others think of their diabetes – how do you feel about being a type 1 diabetic in front of the general public? (taking injections, wearing a pump while tanning etc)

Do you have any experiences of being on the beach as a diabetic?  Doesn’t have to relate to the pump specifically… Let me know – comment below.
