Andrea, so sorry to hear about your dear friend's, what a tragedy. Life is so precious and fragile, we can never take it for granted. We will be praying for you and your family, as well as the dear girl who survived, heart breaking. It's really special you could get away to alaska, a beautiful place, Sharron and I went their not long after I retired back in 2010, God Bless, Rex and Sharron 🙏💕

Yay, Michigan! I'm so so sorry for your loss though! Oh my gosh! Married the day before!!!

My sincere condolences to you and your family, Andrea. I hear stories like this from time to time but this one saddens me because I consider you as a friend.

Thank you for sharing so sorry for your loss

I am so sorry for your loss Andrea. This is one reason that I do not consume alcohol. I like to be in control of my actions, so that one day I will not make a decision that will destroy the lives of others. Thank you for sharing and I hope that this help raise the awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving.

I’m so sorry for your loss

Very horrible idea drinking alcohol when it comes to diabetes 😢

I'm so sorry for your loss 😢😢😢 Andrea 😢 I hope you are doing okay 😢😢

I’m so sorry to hear this…so tragic!😢

I am so sorry for your loss.

Hi Andrea, first of all, sorry for your loss. I don’t know if I mentioned it in a previous message. My parents and I nearly could have the possibility of dying in a home fire, ironically, it was in the first wave of the pandemic and luckily my parents and I were fine and this situation is now gone in the sunset. Having faced the possibility of the inevitable. I now have the mantra, “I have faced worse.” Also to try and enjoy the best you can and try and saviour each moment in the here and now. I try not go into the cheesiness into this topic, but it’s true, just live and feel the best way you can, in the kelly clarkson, “What doesn’t kill ya, makes ya stronger.” right?

Just started using the omnipod. This video is only telling you ONE thing. Get your basal rate correct to start with! If you need to 'correct' throughout the day your basal rate is not set properly or your carb entries are not set correctly. So far my BG regulation is MUCH better.

I care very much Andrea. . I am so so sorry to hear this awful news. I just wish people would think about what they are doing before they drive a car after having a drink. Take care. Andrea, xx

Andrea, I'm so sorry for your loss, and I can't help thinking about the person the son married either; their life as a married couple ended pretty much as soon as it began, all because another driver on the road selfishly chose to get behind the wheel while drunk. But, I think this video will influence people to stop driving under the influence, because sometimes, yes, people can drive after drinking more than they should; with blood alcohol levels over the legal limit, and nothing happens, but other times, it can cost people their lives.

awareness is so important, thanks for sharing this story. i'm so sorry for your losses and i hope the neighbors' son's wife will be okay! 💕

Alcohol and diabetes is never a good idea, so I dont drink alcohol, but its never a good idea to drink and drive

Thank you for sharing your story. It is very sad to hear about your losses. Your cruise looked amazing. Have a great Sunday!

That is so sad. Im sorry for your loss, Andrea. Its so painful to see how many people decide to go driving while drunk. Thank you for doing this fundraiser. There are so many people who need to know the truth.

This is an AWSOME Video on the topic by Ken Ham!!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y5d_rdt7yJOcgXU.htmlsi=YTubLisQBb_fMqOa

How did you manage blood sugars on a cruise?

I’m so sorry to hear about your losses, Andrea. I hope this message sends you a little more positivity and warmth during such a difficult time. Know that I, and all of your subscribers are thinking of you right now.

I am so sorry for your lose. Thank you for sharing. I will be praying for you and the family. I hope this will make people more aware.

Those tubes for the glucose tabs should be clear or a translucent white for the purpose of eyeballing the full tubes

I love the Positive Vibes you are giving Andrea!✨ Please Don't be Sad! Everything in our life happens for a Reason.. Drunk Driving is Really a Dangerous Stunt and Should not be Attempted! Really Sorry for Your Loss! Hope you are Doing Well.✨💕

You don’t have to worry about me being a driver; I’m obviously old enough at age 34 but for disability reasons I don’t drive. I’m looking forward to the “Correction Factor, how to manually dose Insulin corrections for Diabetes; The Basics” video. [You don’t have to come up with a title 😉] There may be new people out there new to the T1D world who have just entered it or people like me who know about T1D and just want to be prepared for the unpredictable. I know to a lot of people out there that there is a myth that T1D only gets diagnosed around the ages 5-17 but I know it could rear its diagnosisable head at any age. So far I know of two KZfaqrs who were diagnosed around age 30.

How does medicai affect getting either one of these? Since omnipod isn’t medical equipment should I look at the tslim? Thx for the help!

I learned at 18 My life changed so much everyday Has to be planned out If you take insulin😢

The pump is the best way to go. I does a lot of thinking for me. The thing is I don't want another gimmick, I WANT A CURE. C'MON you greedy pharma assholes. And, the new Medtronic gear is a pain in the ass to install every seven days. Bullshitting us that 'no more finger sticks' is a great benefit does not over ride the fact that jabbing that sensor in FUCKIN' HURTS. And, the blood.......

Amanda Ripley is badass in real life too❤. (But more cute)

You're so lucky to have someone who cares.

Yes to all of this. Some comments on videos from this one channel I follow, though well-intentioned and containing sentiments like hope she’s better soon, make me shake my head. The measures parents of diabetic children take like the dexcom or omnipod changes are what is keeping their children alive and indeed, there is no break.

In the middle of getting a diagnosis and it's been so frustrating because no one in my family believes that this is actually happening and that something is actually wrong with me. I'm 30, so I'm in my own care, and it's good to know from reading and watching these stories that things will get easier and better with time.

Great videos thank you for helping us understand and talk with a friend about going on a pump.

Almost everyone who says, "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" usually has a lot of need and very little ability.

thank you ! I recently just started insulin pump. I was searching for a new spot to put in and your video is a great help!!

So.... basically your complaint is that looking out for your health, just like any other good thing, costs money and requires effort.

But how did you get your hair to look so awesome?? 👏

When I first used this app back when I first started carb counting (2014), it was completely free. Now they're charging £36/pa, which is a big jump. It also makes no sense what's free and what's part of the paid for section. I looked up an apple. It told me that an 85g apple is 9g carbs, a 130g apple is 13g carbs, but to find out what 170g apple is, I have to pay £36/pa. But even I can work out, it would be 17g. I'll continue to use the free part, and maybe it'll come down in price enough that I can afford it, or it reverts to being free again.

Once I thought I was telling my pod I'm 175 but I accidentally said Give me 175 19 units enough for two pizzas I had no food at my old house so my mom rushed over to my old house with normal soda and candy with that much insulin I almost killed myself

You’ve said it all ! I love your videos. When you have to have a procedure, you have to figure out are you going to go low ,etc…"😢

I struggle with wearing my t slim pump to bed. As a women night clothes are not mostly made to wear a pump. Suggestions?

❤ to see you! Again thank you for your kind words. Friends and family always appreciate the input and encouragement offer! Stay strong 🥰❤😢❤🎉❤😊

Thank you so much for this video, Andrea! I am about four years into this diagnosis and continue to learn so much every day. This video was huge for helping me navigate the Omnipod 5, since it never seemed that the algorithm was strong enough for me. I am a healthcare provider myself and realize our providers are doing their best to keep us safe and healthy, but these hacks have really helped give me better control! Keep doing what you’re doing, I appreciate you!

It is interesting to see that you need to go through such "tricks" for the system to be more aggressive. On my channel I reviewed this year's Omnipod study (made by people of the company), and it seems that there lowest possible target average glucose is 110 (or 6.1 mmol). Also, and interestingly, half of adults in that studies did not manage to get 70% or more time in range. I wonder in your case if some other automatic systems like Ypsopump would give you more flexibility? Have you thought of switching to that rather than having to do things like "pump and dump" as you describe?

Interesting comparison. I had made a video about Fiasp actually, but it is of course worth trying both kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nr-UZbOdlcquZJc.html I think it is good for people to try different insulins so that they can find the best one. I sometimes wonder why doctors choose Fiasp or Lyumjev for their patients, given that both insulins, at least on paper, are very similar in action profile.

Okay so in the UK our Healthcare costs come out of general taxation and in effect the more wealthy you are, the more tax you pay, if those wealthy people didn’t want to do that they would move elsewhere. The UK system ensures treatment is available to all at the point of need, because we’e a caring society. What would USA Americans do if their Healthcare model was applied to Firefighting, or Defence or Homeland Security?

Sorry but you are giving a very distorted and misinformed view of US healthcare vs UK. In the UK you have glaucoma or cataracts.....wait 18 months for treatment. Need a new joint....wait a year or never. You do not have to have your credit card out to get care in US. Walk into any ER and you will be seen no questions. I have Medicare Advantage. I pay ZERO$ monthly. I pay $ZERO to see my regular doctor. I pay $35 to see a specialist. My wife had 3 surgeries in the span of a year. We paid out of pocket $1750. US best care in the world. My wife has to see MULTIPLE specialists for several problems. The most we waited to get in was 45 days. If a problem further developed before that appointment we would be seen immediately by our primary or the ER.

Merhaba 😊 "walk at home" KZfaq kanalı videolarındaki egzersizleri yapıp sonrasında hiperglisemi olan tek ben miyim? Tempolu egzersiz sonrası hiper çok üzücü 😢

My daughter uses the Omnipod Dash at the moment. We find that on the third day the adsorption seems to be a lot worse meaning she tends to go high and a lot more insulin in used. I assume this would cause an issue with the Omnipod 5 algorithm?

I’ve been on the Omnipod 5 since August, my doctor said I know my body and my sugars better than doctors he said that if I need to adjust anything go to the manual mode and edit your basal rate and carb changes if needed and so far it’s helped.
