I have had diabetes for 16 years and I've had many highs and lows also. Last August I had my first baby, a daughter. I proved to my self I can take top care of myself but it is hard and honestly after 8 months of every waking decision being about diabetes to have a healthy baby it burned me out so bad! I'm having the hardest time getting into gear again. I never thought I would have a healthy baby, and I did. I've traveled to far away places and I've changed careers, got married... diabetes was just a long for the ride the whole time.

It took me three weeks to get home, but I'm thankful for all of the hospitals, nurses and doctors that took care of me on my way. All these years later I'm still amazed to be alive and am able to do as much as I've done. It's work to get through every single day, and some are harder than others.

Once he got a insulin pump it made a big difference in regulating his BS. He just got his second pump, since his diagnosis, and this time he got the CGM.

I have been T1D for 24 years and tend to find that most T1D themed social media is either commodified inspiration porn, or comments from non-T1Ds who have no idea what it is like - so it's like I instantly go into defence mode. I definitely relaxed more having finished the video and I have also watched your "if your blood sugar could talk" videos which made me laugh! Have you got any more videos planned? It's very refreshing to find relatable content, I'm so tired of the judgement and complications that come with T1D, and the literal constant battle just to stay alive - it affects everything. Wouldn't it be great just to have one day off.

I was diagnosed at the age of 40 (yes, 40!). It runs in my family and when I went back to school to be a nurse I had to get a ton of immunizations that triggered my immune system. I guess I really miss being "normal". I also hate how nobody knows the difference between type 1 and type 2 and/or how much it really impacts daily life. I'm an ER nurse now and love when I get type 1 patients. They love me too because they feel there's someone that actually understands their struggle. Not just a doc telling them to "do better".

Fortunately none were a complete failure just a "This is your pump talking and I'm not feeling quite right". It still was working. Called help desk and had another pump the next day in all cases. Pump and CGM make life a whole easier and less stressful.

Then I felt normal, after 10 years of no energy, feeling below normal all the time. The latest research shows that 30% of adult type ll are actually delayed onset type l.. It is so hard to always check sugar levels, to try to figure out why the high won't come down, or the low won't come up. You totally understand, and help me laugh about it. Thank you!

The comparison with the car is very apt. Our body is created by nature and consists of material elements that transform back into earth at the end of life. However, we are different from material elements. The ego, the consciousness, the life force, we are made of another higher eternal energy. When the body dies we live on and start a new chapter of life somewhere else. However, it is very strange that young people get diabetes. People always talked about old age sugar, old people who can't digest well and eat too much get diabetes. In young people or children, this looks more like external influence. Similar to the Contergan scandal.

Thank you Levi. I am T3 T3 mother of a T1 6yo girl from Rome. Do you think it would be possible to have the vlog subtitled just in case someone abroad like me doesnt get something...? Looks like a great series of videos worth following.
@BetweenTwoLines4 жыл бұрын
I will certainly make this a priority. The subtitles do a poor job when left to their on interpretations so I need to partner up with someone fluent in Italian to make sure everything is accurate. I will get to work on this!

Hello again love your videos, I was wondering if you could have a video about health insurance and diabetes. Are we limited to having to work a 9-5 job in order have health insurance? Do we have choices?
@BetweenTwoLines3 жыл бұрын
Thanks a lot! That is an extremely complex topic that I am far from being an authority on. If you find someone that has knowledge in this industry and has put together information, I’d love to watch it too! What a great idea

the OmiPod Dash is a lot better than having to take shots everyday, if you could get it I would recommend it

Hi i am from Greece and i am a 16 years old diabetic type 1 and i was diagnosed at 3 years old and i can handle it but i fear the low blood sugar levels. Can you tell me if you have this too; and if you have it how you handle it.
@BetweenTwoLines4 жыл бұрын
I don't have any fear of it, and I cope with it by eating delicious and unhealthy sweets. One of the few times you can eat sugary foods with a clean conscience (at least while young lol). You've got this!

Alice, hang in there and keep reaching out. Of all years to be diagnosed this had to be a tough one indeed. So many feel isolated in general, but to be so and trying to get a handle on your new normal while living through such a chaotic year is even more of a challenge. Know you are not alone and keep up with Levy and find others if you feel a need to broaden your support system. I keep it to a few only to learn from different stories as we all have so much to share. Be kind and gentle with yourself and know that every day can be different until you find a path which works best for you and your body!! Hang in there, as Levy has shown already with his channel, you can do this!! May you find the support you need much sooner than later. Hopefully by now you ARE already feeling much better!! Kudos to Levy for being so well grounded with telling his story!!

I’ve had type ones diabetes since I was seven and I’m now 16 and trust me it does get easier and you will be able to work through it. There’s gonna be a ton of ups and downs and you’re gonna feel amazing at some moment and then completely offload others but you gotta keep your head on the goal. You gotta keep your head up. You gotta be able to face these things and say OK I have this and I can work through it. Yes, it’s gonna be hard at sometimes but it’s so worth it, having diabetes, you’re gonna be able to keep your head up and you’re gonna realize life is still just as valuable with it

@BetweenTwoLines4 жыл бұрын
There really is no normal for you at the moment. Could be a ton of reasons why you have no appetite. No worries! Once you start to acclimate you will more than likely give insulin as needed for food, not food as needed for insulin. Good luck. You got this!
