Great that you can stand up for yourself good lesson for everyone. We should listen to our bodies more Glad you are back making videos

[@kristymarie6065]

I’m Glad your ok!! I agree with you 100%

[@mndyD9]

I’m so sorry! No one should have to deal with someone like that as a health care provider! Sending a big hug! 💗 And I was diagnosed type 1 LADA and I definitely was not “overweight” lol especially because I had such big weight loss due to being undiagnosed so I got the whole “wow you’re so skinny and eat healthy, how did you get diabetes?!” Like homie my pancreas hates me I guess lol. 😅

I'm glad your heart is ok, and so frustrated for you about that doctor! I've come to learn that doctors are just like the general population: a mix of good and bad. I used to think that their degrees made them all exceptional, but I've met some doozies! (Also wonderful people as I'm sure your mom is.)

[@ThePJmommy]

Sorry you had to deal with that. You'd think medical doctors would have a little bit of diabetes knowledge. I was with my young teen at a Peds appointment yesterday, and I mentioned to him that I had been diagnosed with T1d 5 years ago. His first words were "you, but you're so tiny!" I was like, "Type I autoimmune, not Type 2. I'm on a pump and Cgm" I was kind of taken aback. As far as Humalog, here in Canada they are also moving us over to the generic bioSimilar insulins. Insurances don't want to pay for humalog/ Novorapid anymore. Tandem here does allow the bioSimilar but I'm holding off switching.

[@amymarie602]

Hopefully, to relieve some of your concerns, Insulin Lispro is the generic of Humalog, and it is the same thing. I went through that with my insurance a few months ago, and my dr was like yeah same thing just cheaper so insurance prefers it.

[@lalacandygrls13]

The cardiologist needs to stay in their lane, respectfully. I’m glad you have a great endo!

[@BlackKraya]

That cardiologist sounded gross. And yeah, I've heard the same thing about Jardiance being potentially dangerous to T1s

[@shauntayecooper9489]

Hello My mom is come this week too I also going on the Tslim any tips and tricks for a beginner

[@devnull3278]

I'm a Type 1 and on Metformin for many years, 'cause I'm super insulin resistant with PCOS.

[@shauntayecooper9489]

I have pcos I didn’t do well on metformin

[@devnull3278]

@@shauntayecooper9489Yeah, it seems that some people do okay, and some don't. I know most people get horrific GI issues, but I never have for some reason.

[@big70booty]

Yes, I have ran across those type of doctors as well...Dr. Know-It All, who don't know your situation. Sounds like the cardiologist hasn't had a lot of experience with Type 1 diabetics. You may want to ask your cardiologist about referring you to a cardiologist that he likes working with and who is on your insurance plan. Thanks for the new video...I hope we get to see your mom in the next video. Take care. 😍
