I Tried Every Candy, But I Have Diabetes

[@nejiluvr24]

One of the things that I love about Blau the most is the diabetes facts that he puts into his videos. My dad died of severe low blood sugar due to diabetes so to see someone educating people on the dangers of this makes me so happy. Blau, please continue what you're doing cause its def helping a lot of people understand the struggles that diabetics go through

[@NekoMarkus]

I almost never comment on videos, but Blau, you explain it very well for people without diabetes. Ive had diabetes for 23 years and it can be a challenge to get people to understand. We also have the same setup so its fun to see how you manage crazy times like a candy binge. Thanks man.

[@joshburger2217]

nerds clusters are giga S tier, absolute pinnacle of candy evolution

[@crabguy1957]

Hard agree

[@SimplyOrdinaryTv]

Fact

[@brandimullins8813]

for all the people who dont have diabetes: medically, the acceptable range is 70 to 120. but everyone has a different average blood sugar that their body is comfortable at and if you go lower than that you get chills and shakes and if you go higher than that you feel like you can drink all the water on the earth and still be thirsty lol there's also your fasting blood sugar which is your blood sugar when you havent eaten before bed and before you eat or drink anything after you wake up. if your fasting blood sugar is too high or is close to the upper limit, then that might not be good. if your fasting blood sugar is in the normal range then you're good. you can also be prediabetic (for those who dont have type 1) which basically means your body is making insulin but it's not making enough to keep up long term. type 2 is very little to no insulin later in life. type 1 (the type blau has, which is from birth) bascially means you're just straight fucked and you have to supply your body with insulin your entire life. you can also go into a diabetic coma if your blood sugar is too high OR too low. source: my mother is type 2 ps: if you have a friend or a loved one who has diabetes, it might be good to learn how their meds work so if you have to help them you can. or if you're like my mom and your loved one has arthritis in their hands which makes using pens and sometimes syringes hard to use.

In Ellum’s defense, US Milky Way is a completely different chocolate than the UK/ Australian Milky Way. I think US Milky Way is basically an international “mars bar”. Our Milky Way is like whipped nougat in chocolate.

[@Mrlechips]

So your Milky Way is kinda like our three musketeers. Interesting.

[@FizzyCape]

UK Milky Way is US 3 musketeers, UK mars bar is US Milky Way

[@alcharvard1]

Ayooooo congrats on the first youtube stream. And also more power to Diabetics!

[@evancarson1895]

As a type one diabetic whose Halloween has forever been changed since my diagnosis (at age 7, been over a decade now) this was so nice to see! Also, I NEED whatever twitch extension that is that connect with your cgm to display blood sugar, it seems unironically useful lol.

[@klavenqt]

My mom almost died of heart failure due to high blood sugar two years ago. I remember her having some kind of psychotic attacks when her blood sugar was over 600. That was so painful to see. Thank god, she made it through. Having a bit of education on these stuff is so important. Take care of yourselves guys!

[@Sisi_808]

Wow, I'm glad your mom got through that, I wish her and you the best!

[@michaeIaa]

it was probably diabetic ketoacidosis if she was also experiencing severe thirst, rapid weight loss without exercise, headaches, and fatigue. very scary stuff but im glad your mom is good now

[@Qeris]

This was hella entertaining! Not to mention educational! I had no idea how crazy sugar can be on the system. As a non-diabetic I seriously didn't know how dangerous sugar is to you guys. Blau we love the content, and we love you bro beans!

[@willw6504]

I love when you do diabetic awareness videos. My eldest kid also has type 1 and has nearly the same CGM setup you do (different pen though). Seeing you do what you love while also managing your diabetes is very inspiriting to them, so thanks for videos like this. Oh, and while my kid's CGM also tops out at 400, when they were first diagnosed (many years ago now), the hospital recorded them at 1100. So only half way to the world record, but enough that it was super scary. Oh, and thanks for putting quality information out there. I've had people say all kinds of stupid stuff to me (in ignorance, but still).

[@ScottieStearns]

As a fellow diabetic streamer (much, much smaller streamer lol) it is nice to see someone take the time to educate people on diabetes. It's not always a fun time, and can be very severe. I appreciate seeing some representation.

[@NikaT01]

THANK YOU for being someone who also loves reese's cups but hates reese's pieces

[@jsingdreams1754]

I used to hate candy corn as a kid, but I've grown a liking to them. However, that's just me with any food lol I'll hate it at first, but after trying it more than once or a few times, I'll like them. Blau's detail on candy is pretty spot-on. Chocolate for sure hits diff when it's with another thing.

[@spiderdude2099]

Blau’s pancreas: “You and that little syringe better have this….cuz I ain’t got this..”

[@R19Violet]

Yep my dad loves good and plenty too 🤢 also as someone who was with a type 1 diabetic for 9 years watching chat freak out at the rise of your blood sugar is very amusing to me ngl 😂

[@nathanbarnes3969]

I was in a very bad way once mentally and called an ambulance for help, the paramedics took my blood sugar and I saw the panic in their faces. I’m not even diabetic and my blood sugar was 52, they said “People with blood sugar this low will be unconscious. How do you even have so much energy?”

[@JB-ex6ld]

My mom has type 1 diabetes and so I needed to learn from a young age to help. This video had great education and yet trigger my urge to go help blau .

[@somethingsomething404]

That was hot. Lmao. Your really get them thirst trap views while also getting the dude bro views, it’s a form of art really. If we were frat bros we’d have some secrets lmao

[@1Jetsurf]

This was beautifully edited! Good work editor!

[@shaughnsimpson441]

As a diabetic that has recently received a kidney transplant, the title freaked me out but Blau knows his shit and takes care of himself

[@emu2964]

This is a wild title lmao

[@typicalTofu]

The YT stream is so chill, congrats on ur first YT stream!! Also I agree with the coconut flavored chocolates 🤤🤤

[@morgankeiser]

Blau with the based almond joy take

[@babablacksphee]

Appreciate the effort in risking your life to explain to me about the American candy hierarchy as a non-American. 8.38 - P.S. Snickers is from the UK.

[@cobrown3o]

We can’t compete with Non-US candies. Comparatively all our shit is mid.

[@babablacksphee]

To be fair Sweets are just better than chocolates and candies in my country. chocolates are just low-price point sweets for the most part with some outliers. @@cobrown3o

[@myforever13]

i’m diabetic too so it’s kinda nice seeing someone else rationing their sugar exposure

[@Somedroxy]

2:31 - chatter says "you gonna get dyabytes." but blau already has diabetes

[@LittleCutieABDL]

Ooof im just starting to watch, good luck, also wish i could do this with my epilepsy but can't 😅💁🏻‍♀️

[@coffeegirl18]

Butterfingers are good but have you tried a Wunderbar? It's basically a peanutier Butterfinger from Canada. I agree about salt water taffy. I used to hunt it down at a store that made it fresh while on vacation. They had all different flavours too. I've been trying Japanese candies and snacks. I got some Soda flavour HiChews. So good. 💜

[@nicole0214]

Blau’s “omg” 😳

[@dancingqueen5428]

Did not expect that slurping and moaning at the Reese’s. Im-

[@drekky23]

I agree that Reese's are worth getting diabetes

[@shelbylee242]

I have a memory as a kid of eating so many sour skittles I chemically burned my tongue

[@elenaoakes8494]

As a type one diabetic this was so fun to watch especially with the live bg numbers😅❤

[@dayanariverraa5918]

Reese’s being worth getting diabetes is the best take Blau has had 🙌🏽

[@ToxicKnight08]

I love almond joy!!!! One of my favorite candies.

[@CreepyBEEF]

liking hot tamales is the most cursed take in this video

[@CreepyBEEF]

next is hating DOTS

[@ToxicKnight08]

Nerds gummy clusters!!! So good!

[@drxploshun6519]

As a diabetic, I am loving this content

[@elenaoakes8494]

Samee😅

[@ApolloSuraimu]

Can someone explain why i can look the video in my homescreen? Idek the name of it. It’s like a small vid, I’ve had it before but never in a yt vid, and somehow only for this one. Isn’t that like a yt premium feature?

[@xerilaun]

u can get it like that by having the video playing and then exit the app to where u make it so u can see all the apps that u have open (sorry I suck at explaining things lol)

[@dayanariverraa5918]

I can’t get over the strawberry sour patch tasting like medicine

[@iitsAP]

haven't even watched the video yet but i just wanna say that this is fucking awesome to see as a diabetic

[@MatthewRodarte]

I love you so much thank you for being a wonderful soul ✌🏻💕

[@ttree1448]

Genius video idea

[@nyxdef]

Honestly, not once did I ever think about the possibility of overcorrection. Thats damning 😬

[@Double.D.Tootss]

If you've ever gone to the er for high glucose they'll have the actual number from the blood test 👀 when I was a tech I used to think the critical results of tests were so crazy to see

[@brendanlabarre8199]

American Kit Kats mid Canadian Kit Kats S tier easy

[@Afrodites_Bluebird1111]

Regular 3 musketeer bars are mid, but the midnight ones... can get it however they want it.

[@luisreyes7449]

Fun size twizzlers are so much better than regular

[@roceboss]

Blau forgot what he said in the beginning about hitting 200 being worrisome and he overcorrected what he said xP lolz. Which was why ppl were freaking out. Valorant game was cute though xD next vid Blau’s VTuber Test

[@jovianblue]

The low tier Milky Way is problematic but if you analyze the data it's clear: HE LIKES TO REWARD NUTS.

[@secretgardenia]

Thank you blau watching your videos help with my bowel movement. i love watching your videos. love u

[@echung168]

I used to not like Almond Joys. Then I finally tried it and I like them since.

[@josephdahdouh2725]

I'm jealous that I have no diabetes, yet only know of like 3brands of what he just ate now and he has diabetes lol

[@jacklynbarrs6419]

He did Twix dirty

[@mrmoonboi9534]

“We only eat American candy”……..yet he ranks Starburst pretty high…

[@AdrianAye]

Blood sugar just kept dropping for the first half

[@redlightning2643]

Because he pumped himself full of insulin beforehand, he said it in the stream but they cut it out for this vid. He went up to like 250 after eating all the candy lol

[@bltsammich9760]

Use Junior Mints for Chocolate Chip Cookies

[@tomas13quezo]

I still dont understand as a clasical musician what is the obsesion puting Vivaldi's Winter 1rd movement as a epic background music. The Winter from Vivaldi its literally about people falling, getting cold and more fallings

[@jak_III]

i started watching Blau cuz i’m diabetic. this made me laugh so much also hes hot

[@jentendo.]

JAIL for some of these answers

[@nathanvaughan6070]

Nerds just great imagine nerds on ur ice cream or the pop rock version lol

[@Talleswryy]

a thing people with diabetes should NEVER do

[@itsOBJT]

i find it so weird seeing the mg compared to mmol its funny tho my high in ur conversion is 600 lmfao my avg is ur high

[@stablequasoar]

M and ms is top tier

[@jademonroe101]

Thanks for the lesson :) ❤

[@DragonsYuh]

good stress test for his insulin pod

[@kayno9167]

This was fun

[@gottesurteil3201]

Humalog for the win!

[@gingerbaby2184]

Almond Joy being top made me lose all interest in the judgements. Lol, where was the starburst!

[@pyqio]

I don't think so many types of candies even exist in my home country lmao

[@daisyrifleandscope]

Nvm after you said air heads are mid you go to hell 😂

[@splite_2475]

I have seen everything heart rate monitor and now insulin rate monitor, the only thing left would be….well

[@yogi7224-c4r]

no way you put starburst above twix and m&ms

[@Chilly-Gaming69]

Thats how I eat a kitkat 😊

[@jpachu16]

That’s wild. Reese’s pieces are my favorite form of Reese’s. What is he on?? I wonder if he could’ve just like. Tasted the candy and just spit it out before swallowing. Like the gummy stuff. Idk if that would still raise the blood sugar cause he’s not fully ingesting it.

[@Yo-YoTheEvilVillain]

PEANUT BUTTER M$MS ARE GOD TIER

[@tia.joness]

i love réeses pieces but i don’t like regular reese’s cups

[@yogi7224-c4r]

milky way in trick???? what???

[@bel410la]

I hate Reeses or all the ones that have that similar fake peanut butter taste. There are more but the video ended too early.

[@Nellie_95]

Just when I thought he was my soulmate he put Candy corn down

[@itzgarble5912]

Blau is so unbelievably hot for having a Samsung. Like, yes king I see and stan you!

[@itskatharosnotcatharsis]

I don’t even like coconut and almond joys are delicious

[@SweetDee101]

Why did he change his thumbnail?

[@kirbstompthecheese]

Butterfingers were better before they changed the recipe and ruined them.

[@brandonisburied]

only two american candy i find enjoyable is twix and kitkat because of the crispy stuff. rest are horrendous, tastes acidic and artificial. i would rather eat 70% plain bar.

[@imnotnathan6601]

As a diabetic as well just about all this candy sucks

[@lolwtfheather]

My entire younger life, as I could remember. Anything too sweet made me feel sick. My mom asked me one easter when I was maybe, 8? why I never eat the candies(more specifically jelly beans) in my basket. Then I told her how they made me feel. Apparently when I was a toddler I was found unconscious. Next to a jar of Jelly beans pretty much my size; half gone. Had to be rushed to the hospital, stomach pumped, and put on a type of life support system to prevent me from going into what they called the time a 'sugar-coma'. I literally OD'd on sugar. (pls don't flame my mom on this though. >.< my dad had his custody with me and was a substance abuser that no one knew about at the time of this jelly jar incident.) Long story short, crazy what your body remembers when your conscious doesn't. When she told me, it ALLLL made sense.

[@Bartjenejlepsi]

I'm not a diabetic, I do not know the rules. I do however eat raw cubes of sugar in the mornings cuz I feel like passing out when doing physicall stuff (when I go shopping I buy none of those in Blaus list, I preffer to buy sth like steak) So, am I ok or is there sth I should take care of?

[@myforever13]

you might have type 2 diabetes or the beginnings of insulin intolerance, that’s how mine started, i had to drink juice if i did any exercise or i felt like i would pass out. luckily there’s a medicine you can get prescribed that helps a lot. i still have to make sure i eat breakfast or i won’t make it but like protein not sugar. but yeah go to your doctor maybe

[@Rachelbee]

This seems really dangerous?

[@Infamouscritter]

Milky way is the best

[@adamgarcia2056]

Twix at mid tier?! Crazyyy

[@aliQ2019]

milk duds are a dud

[@fluff0000zz]

I thought he said he wasn't gonna do stuff like this after the super sour sweet or the hot hot pepper stuff? I thought he hated how ill it made him? Confused

[@alextension]

The holiday spirit has consumed him

[@lqchongi]

[@magicado1982]
