I have never seen bagel seasoning. What a great walk-through, thank you for sharing.

[@BellaBucchiotti]

oh....you need this seasoning. It is from Trader Joes, but I have seen a brand at Costco, too.

[@maribelhernandez8043]

4:08 do you find you use your air fryer a lot? thinking of getting one on boxing day

[@BellaBucchiotti]

I use it way more than I thought I would. I have a smaller one and it is the perfect size for the two of us

[@Del-Canada]

05:14 I have a really serious torn rotator cuff so I am going to have to apply the sensor using the other method once I get the meter and a sensor.

[@BellaBucchiotti]

They are for my insulin pump.

[@greyysabellelunadelacruz4285]

Your dog is such a cutie and too adorable

[@BellaBucchiotti]

He is the CUTESt ever.

[@billieroy9949]

1:29 Do you swim with your pump? Does the water make the sensor fall off?

[@BellaBucchiotti]

I usually take my pump off when I am doing physical activities. Howe, I swim with my Freestyle on all the time. Both salt and fresh water. It stays on just fine.

[@yeahfoodie4378]

Love the video, your vlog and day life look so interesting!

[@BellaBucchiotti]

Thank you so much!!

[@AllThingsSimplyWindy]

Aaawww your dog is so cute!

[@BellaBucchiotti]

Thank you!

[@AnaEverythingEnchanting]

Such an amazing vlog! Love it 😍 By the way, does it work with other smartphones too?

[@BellaBucchiotti]

Yes it does!

[@BenButlerGentleBim]

That is really cool. It's amazing that you can just scan it with your phone to get an instant reading. Veryc ool.

[@BellaBucchiotti]

yes totally!!!!

[@chriswescott9212]

What are all the other white patches on your arm when you were putting the new sensor on?

[@BellaBucchiotti]

They are for my insulin pump

[@toingadavis9257]

What is that thing called I have diabetes and I would like to use that. From new Zealand

[@BellaBucchiotti]

There is a link in the description to get more info. It is a FreeStyle Libre 14 day system

[@erinshaw5600]

1:55 what kind of dog is this? She is so cute and a great size

[@BellaBucchiotti]

Hes a Brittany spaniel

[@jordanmcdonald7260]

0:27 How long have you been using a freestyle for? I have had mine for about 5 months now

[@BellaBucchiotti]

I have been using it for 3 years!! I love it

[@brookeweller1223]

If I don't have an iPhone can I scan the sensor? Does it work with another brand of smart phone?

[@BellaBucchiotti]

Yes! libre actually has a scanner that comes with it :)

[@tracykyle9925]

It looks like you had a good visit! Have you ever done a what you eat in a day?! Those are my fave :)

[@BellaBucchiotti]

totally! love having family visit :) Yes I have one what i eat in a day. ill try and up load more soon

[@Del-Canada]

I want to give a quick tech tip for your viewers. If your phone is "rooted" or "jailbroken" you won't be able to install the app on it until you grab the actual APK file somewhere and install it that way.

[@BellaBucchiotti]

thanks...I didn't know that

[@alinawatson335]

2:52 where is this cute hat from?

[@BellaBucchiotti]

Fjallraven!!

[@aprilhartman4329]

4:29 I tried it but had a hard time getting it to stay on for more than a few days. Do you have the same trouble?

[@BellaBucchiotti]

I always put something called " skin tac " under neath it and it makes it stick way better if your super active

[@kellyedwards4474]

Are they expensive? I heard there is a new one out. Have you tried that?

[@BellaBucchiotti]

they are 100$ which is as much as strips would be :) but this lasts longer and you dont hav to prick your finger. YES the freestyle 2 is amazing!!

[@GirtonOramsay]

@@BellaBucchiotti Was wondering this too, but good point with the similar cost of strips

[@Del-Canada]

Hello Bella. My real name is Jason and I am a T1 diabetic also, and so is my daughter, and so was my father and so was his mom. That's my "D" story. Hah. Anyway, onto the reason I am here. Can you just use the app and your phone without the meter? The chemist near me had sensors but no meters. They are very pricey at $120 for a single sensor. I can extend that to a month I think though with a workaround. Even if not a two week break from pricking would be nice, especially in the middle of the night when it's so hard to get back to sleep. So that was my wordy comment and question. Thank you, Bella!

[@BellaBucchiotti]

Hi! Nice to meet you, the sensor you can scan to your smartphone without a meter, you just need the freestyle app and you can start scanning. There is also freestyle connect app which allows someone else to monitor the sensor as well. For example if your daughter had a freestyle (she would have the freestyle app) and every time she scanned her sensor you could see her results on your phone using the freestyle connect app. The last 14 days and you don’t need to prick your finger :)

[@Del-Canada]

@@BellaBucchiotti Thank you for the reply, Bella! Not sure my daughter wants me to know her glucose levels since she is 24 and lives five hours away. :p That is very handy though if you have a young kid that has diabeetus or if you want to team up with someone and support each other. Would have been nice to have when she was a kid. She was diagnosed at 7. Pricking is a pain, but not literally. Especially at say 2am and you suspect a nypo. Have to turn the light on, dig a strip out, prick, and test. Usually wakes me up enough that I can't get back to sleep. Turning the light on mid sleep is the worst.

[@BellaBucchiotti]

@@Del-Canada Yes, definitely helpful to have someone else checking in on you especially if you are having a hard time keeping everything in check.

[@baigfamilyvlogvlog6084]

[@BellaBucchiotti]

It is probably best if you talk to your health care provider about this.
