A Day In The Life: Type 1 Diabetes

A Fixers campaign led by Frances Ryan and her team from Glasgow: www.fixers.org.uk/news/12588-1...
A group of young people, who have type 1 diabetes, want to help medical professionals understand the daily challenges they face.
The team from Glasgow hope to highlight the effort it takes to monitor and manage their condition, which is caused by a lack of insulin in the body and is kept under control by checking blood glucose, taking medication and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

I've had diabetes (type 1) for around 4 years now, as a young boy, it can be a bit different. My Schedule is this: Wake up, do whatever, check my bloods, then in around like 30 minutes, I have a breakfast of 39g (a waffle and coffee), and then the day goes on as normal, usually a few lows, or highs, but I always get through. Most meals I have are usually 39g, 34g, 20-110g and around 40 for snack time. I use an insulin pump, and we also have the same finger pricker! I use glucojuice, glucotabs or some random sugary thing for my lows, For my HIGHS I take water, some corrections, and run around a bit. A low usually makes me hungry, moody, and stressed. A high usually makes me moody, stressed and thirsty. I also use a Sensor, it makes life MUCH easier!

Great video, my son has type 1 ,he was 11 when he got diagnosed he is 22 now it is a huge life change ,not only for them but the family also,let's make type one type none

I’m thankful my mental arithmetic skills are good. Diagnosed with LADA 2 years ago aged 47 and working in hospital pharmacy plus attending a T1 diabetes Ed course 6 mo after diagnosis has really given me the knowledge and skills to deal with this positively.

[@curtc3092]

I've been Type 1 for 59 years. I'd highly recommend getting a CGM. It makes your life much easier, in terms of diabetes management. No more finger-pricks!

[@maxd3581]

So I have type 1 and I just want a question answered for me as I’ve never gotten the information. I’ve had it for 5 months so I’m not as amazing as others. If you’ve taken your night time insulin and then want something to eat during the night, is it safe to do day/fast acting insulin after you’ve done your night one? Because last time I did that I threw up but the diabetic team didn’t really think much of it.

[@jameskarr5550]

It depends lots for factors come into play. Your question isn’t a just Yes or No.

[@georgeownerful]

I find that right after my long lasting night injection my sugars will drop much quicker with fast acting insulin if used soon after, so inject a slight smaller dose for the food

[@Sarah-jg9uw]

I'm a Type 1 diabetic, I do think people need to be more educated some people think diabetes is a lifestyle disease but Type 1 and Type 2 are different, Type 2 is a lifestyle disease and Type 1 is an autoimmune disease. Type 2 can be reversed if you eat well and is easier to manage in a tablet form unfortunately that's not the case for Type 1's you cannot reverse it its a life sentence, you have to nurse it, its a 24/7 disease it can be a hard, it makes life more challenging but you have no choice but to live with it. Hope there will be a cure one day 🙏

[@InspirationEmPire25]

How come you have to count carbs? I don’t have diabetes but I count protein because I believe protein is more important then carbs.

[@TD5LUFC]

it doesn't matter what is more 'important', I wouldn't say protein is more important than carbs, I would say they both matter equally, the reason is glucose has carbohydrates in it

[@S9999Frank]

you have tp count carbs because carbs raise your blood sugar, and the two inputs of carbs and insulin have to be in balance. So with the pancreas not producing insulin, a diabetic1 person needs to know the number of carbs eaten, to balance them with insulin injections.

[@InspirationEmPire25]

@@S9999Frank interesting.

[@hoyoversekindasucks]

The carbs increase blood Sugars, to parallel this we use insulin so we have to use a ratio to figure out how much insulin we need. This helps us keep our blood sugar in range so we don't die! :D

[@Max040fficial]

carbs are a bitch, a bowl of pasta raises my glucose more than 3 cans of coke cola

That is a murano student halls room from glagow uni. Ur not allowed fridges in the room, naughty boy. Did I just completely miss the entire point of this video?

[@FixersUK]

erin louise last name We think you might have unfortunately. Well done on spotting which student hall it was filmed in - very eagle eyed of you. Regarding the fridge Connor (who's room it was), needs to keep his insulin in a fridge so therefore Glasgow uni has made accommodations for this. We hope that by watching the film you'll be able to better understand the needs of someone with type 1 diabetes. Best wishes, The Comms team

type 2 diabetes is already totally cured and type 1 diabetics are still stuck with insulin injections checking blood sugar 10 times a day, insulin pumps and the hope of being cured

[@FixersUK]

Ahmad Ahmad Thank you for taking the time to comment. Please see www.justduk1t.org.uk/ or www.diabetes.org.uk/ for more information. Fixers is an any issue charity and therefore we are not experts. Our young people base their resources on their own experiences. Best wishes, The Comms team

[@Recken1]

+Ahmad Ahmad I can't stand the misunderstanding between type 1 and type 2 either, but type 2 is not cured. If it was cured it wouldn't be around and we wouldn't be confused for having it.

[@AhmadAhmad-oy2yz]

+Reck ed dear reck type 2 diabetes is surely cured through a very easy operation that doesn't take more than 30 minutes. This operation is related to the stomach. when this operation is done type 2 diabetes will be totally cured. And when I say type 2 diabetes I mean the one that relies on pills not injections ( insulin)

[@Recken1]

+Ahmad Ahmad If that was true everyone with type 2 would have this operation and there wouldn't be metformin and other type 2 drugs. It's not cured.

[@AhmadAhmad-oy2yz]

+Reck ed go to any doctor who is specialized in diabetes and you may ask him about this .... And you will know the truth ... If this cure was known by everyone ,hospitals will suffer from long waiting lists of patients who want to have this operation.

[@Max040fficial]

Type 1 diabetes is often misunderstood as a result of overeating sugary snacks, but it is actually an immune disease unrelated to diet. People with type 1 diabetes can eat anything a non-diabetic can eat and should not be ridiculed for their food choices. Let's dispel these misconceptions and offer support and understanding instead.
