DKA mostly affects type 1 diabetics it seems . I'm type 2 and on keto . My doctor didn't want me on keto because possibly acid in the blood but am finding out some very important facts sbout it .

I was also diagnosed in 2002 (at the age of 6) but I think it was April. Greetings from Poland ❤

Hello I stopped using the pump and came back to the pen... I gained to much weight on pump and I didn't like to feel it everday and finally the pen just take a few seconds, better than a pump 24/7...

Glad to see that you went to using TruSteel infusion set. It’s been a few years since I switched to Tandem T-Slim (which is when I last visited your channel) but I’ve used the TruSteel for over a couple of decades, even when on the Medtronic pump. It’s my preferred infusion set. For new users, I recommend inserting the needle portion with the tubing at the bottom (6:00 o’clock), that way, if the anchor/connector portion of the infusion set peels away, the needle portion is more likely to adhere to the skin (it’s physics) than if the tubing is at 3:00, 9:00 or 12:00 o’clock. For the same reason, make sure the tubing leading to the pump on the anchor/connector portion is also at 6:00 o’clock. Also, I have found that I can avoid hitting a nerve by testing the skin with the needle. Once you find a spot that you feel the prick of the needle less, that is a spot where the needle won’t cause you pain when you push it in. Removing the needle can be less painful if you pull it out quickly, particularly using the tubing. However, you can also avoid a painful removal by pulling up the edges of the adhesive tape all around the needle, then use the plastic wings to pull out the needle straight up. Hope these tips help somebody.

I’m type 1 also! One day I’ll ask god why make me type 1 😢

I use my thighs the long needle

I'm confused. I don't see in the G6 manual that arm sites are allowed, even 2 years later.

Missing the updates. Hope all is well.

awesome video, one thing you forgot to mention insulin should not be put through the x-ray machine as it can alter the insulin. So it’s best just to get a visual inspection of your insulin at the very least.

The lowest I’ve ever been was 30, when I was 12-13 and I was home alone.. I don’t even know how I managed to stand up and eat, and not pass out, but yea it was horrible. Glad you are okayy

What is the clip link?

Right now I’m dealing with premenopause and I have low iron but thanks I was in the highs all the sudden and it’s time for my cycle to come as well I’m going to try the app as well we do go through a lot ❤

god bless you, the wonderful woman. this video helped me so so much. I had to wear a tight dress and almost had a mental breakdown thinking where to put my pump. i know this video is old, but it saved me ❤️🙏

um how is a positive high keytone test a symptom?

I like the true steel as well. Also found using the verisoft 30 worked well; providing one is not afraid of inserting a long needle.

I add a little bit of dry fruit and use zero carbs honey and and protein poweder, nuts and i do not use any oats.

6:33 😅

Hi I use those to and I know u probably know this by now but you pinch the butterfly things on the site to make it easier to put in!

thank you for shareing your experience .i was also admitted to the hospital for dka 3/1/2023 .

How are you why are you not posting videos now ?

How do you deal with sweat and constant movement. My xc90 keeps peeling off. And I’m tired of it.

Ketoacidosis, didn’t know what it was u til I had it for first time after being diabetic for 25 years. Terrible. Requires ICU hospitalization for at least 24 hours.

Where do you get the Ketone strips??

So with the insulin resistance can that alone make you miss a period?

Do you know Jesus is a messenger of God

HOW low // IS LOW 1.9 in my case. WE HAVE GLUCAGON , inject and you dont have to call 911

We have a similar background. I just turned 32, have been a t1d for 18 years and have been on a pump for 15 years, had Roche’s, Medtronic’s and then back to the beginning of 2019 I switched to T:slim. I have been having problems with the autosoft 90 too and the other day I had the chance to try the TruSteel too and despite being totally terrified by the fact there’s an actual needle inside of me, I am considering switching to it as I noticed my bg is way better and more stable with this. I then was looking for a video because nobody explained me how to remove that needle from my belly and it kinda hurt when I did although I tried my best to take it out without inclining it too much (if that makes any sense). I guess I’ll have to look for some remove wipes too in order to remove it without too much trouble😅

Hi Michelle,it's been long since you posted.are you okay?

Great presentation! Very helpful! Just switching to tru steel for the same reason. I used this infusion set in the past with the Medtronic System. Now I have Tandem which is an awesome pump! Never go back. Thank you again. You are a wonderful instructor!

I have type 1 and 26 weeks pregnant ❤

Looking for the link for pump clip

Thank you for sharing.

Have you had any scary moments I'm type 1 myself

I noticed that you haven't uploaded any new videos to your channel for more than a year. I hope everything is okay. Your content has been missed by many of your followers, including myself. Can you share any updates or plans for future videos? Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

My last emergency Glucagon kit expired in December of 2020. I have since had it refilled and keep it in my refrigerator for safety reasons. I have had some pretty severe lows in my 13 years of being a diabetic but I've never actually passed out from a low. That being said, people should ALWAYS keep Glucagon in their homes (anyone with diabetes who takes insulin, tbh). You never know when you'll need it. And if you do have Glucagon, be sure to check the expiration date on occasion because they have an average shelf life of about one year.

I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 29 and I got pregnant shortly after finding out but now that my periods have returned I’ve experienced this for the past 3-4 cycles. I honestly thought I was going crazy until I found this video. My sugars run around 200-350 for the 3-5 day prior to my period starting and then the minute my period starts my sugars tank. I started today and my fasting sugar was 220 and I’m now battling a sugar of 67 at 9pm. I also have PCOS which I thought was to blame because it causes insulin resistance so my cycles are all over the place ranging from 47-55 day cycles.

That was me when I was pregnant. I dropped to 0.9 and ended up passing out . Luckily the baby was OK, he's 18 now and also a type 1. Will be 50 years for me in late August.

What do you do if you test for ketones and it’s positive?

Thank you very much im type 1.5 LADA i got diagnosed around 39 years old so ive only been dealing with it now 3 years i was in DKA 16 times in that time till i got an insulin pump i lost about 45lbs and it has given me neuropathy and retinopathy i try explaining it to friends and family and they say oh you ate to much sugar or just take your insulin or diet and exercise will help..i got divorced around the same time I started getting sick ive struggled with it alone..times ive been sick i try hiding it from my boys and friends and family..i appreciate you very much all diabetic people..lol mom always said i was to sweet

How many days do you leave it in? I’m coming from the plastic tubing to this.

3:45 min, I really like mac & cheese. DaveH25545

3:34 min, Purge ?

Complex carbs are not bad for you, simple carbs can be. I can’t wait to make this granola bar :)

i dont trust those pumps at all. at 18 right before leaving for college my blood sugar was super high and went to the hospital... turns out the damn thing broke which lead to appendicitis...

This helped me a lot! Thanks!

I was 4 years old and I was 650 and acting strange my mom took me to the doctor I was transferred to Portland from grants pass and I got told I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes

The hormonal shifts are really intense for blood sugars- I had a hard time keeping my blood sugars up on my menstrual cycle, no matter how much I ate, it was so scary

this video helped me out so much ❤️, thank you
