Day In The Life: Type I Diabetes & Preschool

This video is a typical morning when Henry goes to Preschool. He is at preschool for 2.5 hours, three days a week. We had a huge struggle trying to find a preschool that would even allow him to be there! **See the Type I Diabetes playlist on my channel for more videos.
I will be posting a vlog update next week on how preschool is going as far as teachers & Henry's diabetes etc. I will also be talking about our struggle with Henry's unawareness of blood sugar lows.

Seeing this video makes me happy and sad. Happy because he has such good parents. But sad because he has to be doing this so young. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 11. Now being almost 26 it's still a constant struggle. Best of luck to you and your awesome son. Your videos really inspire me.

[@dreamflight6000]

Sorry to hear you have to deal with this awful disease too! It is tough! Always a battle! Thank you!! Best of luck to you as well!

[@LadyArdent]

[@dreamflight6000]

Thank you so much!

[@sweetpearene]

[@CharmedAngel2005]

He is precious. I know this video is 5 years old. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes last September. I know the nervous feeling and I’m 33. So I just want to say keep strong & keep being you.

[@mel11789]

That saying that God only sends you the trials he knows you can handle is so true! You and Henry are truly amazing!

[@Dakota_Grayson]

Well done little man, so brave :)

[@kasscholtz155]

That's awesome the nurse at his preschool is so good with his diabetes. My daughter starts at a new preschool this year and all three of her teachers are trained and also a little boy in her class has type 1 as well . The preschool are going to do all her testing and lunch time insulin so that gives me a break.

[@9928981576]

he is sooo cute and t1d is really so difficult for him and family whenever i see a kid have this type of situation i feel so sad coz i faced so much problems in my childhood due to my blood sugar level. he is so lucky somebody with him for take care in school

[@sldjme]

This popped up in my feed this morning...I’m so glad to see Henry’s diabetes videos still out there! I can’t believe it’s been almost 7 years ago...I loved watching this again. What a smart boy Henry was in pre-school!!! Happy New Year Amy! 🥳 Janel in NJ

[@dreamflight6000]

Awww thanks Janel

[@type1carlie118]

[@2807Dee]

Wow Henry's getting so big! He's so mature. A real credit to you both!

[@dreamflight6000]

Thank you!

[@chadahopkins]

Our son was diagnosed in October and is also hypoglycemic unaware. This has been a big life change.

[@mummykc8256]

How wonderful for you that he has such a brilliant nurse at his school helping take care of him. It must make it so much easier to send him to school knowing that there is someone there looking out for Henry! :)

[@dreamflight6000]

This nurse is SO wonderful that we open enrolled to this school district so he can go to this school. Just got our acceptance letter today. We are thrilled!!

[@mummykc8256]

That's awesome!!! Very happy for you! :)

[@cistb]

I'm so happy he is such an amazingly smart boy he is going to catch on to the math portion before you know it! What a brave boy and amazing parents.

[@dreamflight6000]

Thank you!

[@OGIEDOGIEATHOME]

Kuddos you are such a good mom ! And Henry is doing so well with his diabetes testing congrats !

[@dreamflight6000]

Thank you so much!

[@ilovenoodles7483]

Nice bag, kinda looks like our diabetes bag, well, what is used to be, and we are mdi too. Instead of juices, we use the small 7.5oz. soda cans, they normally have about anywhere from 23 to 27 grams of carbs depending on what soda it is but it's kind of convenient because if my son doesn't come up 15min. later, he just has the rest of the can and that will bring him up to range without going high. We have our syringes and pen needles in a small thick reusable plastic dollar store drinking bottle and we also use a separate one for the sharps/used syringes.

[@suzyjoyisathome7654]

You rock!!! Hope you know what an awesome job you're doing! :)

[@dreamflight6000]

Thank you so much!

[@Alidoodles]

Great job on this video Amy! I always learn so much

[@dreamflight6000]

[@candyformandy]

[@dreamflight6000]

Thank you for watching!

[@Petro48]

Great job Henry and Mama!

[@dreamflight6000]

Thank you Pat!

[@hehemalissa]

I did one month of preschool because I was diagnosed on the second month and my mom was new to my diabetes so she didn't want me to go but I was home schooled. I was 4 years old and I'm 13 now.

[@dreamflight6000]

+Melissa Marigold Oh wow. Are you still home schooled? I totally get why your mom did that.

[@hehemalissa]

dreamflight6000 no I do everything by myself at school. Yeah she was scared cause no one in my family has diabetes.

[@ilovenoodles7483]

dreamflight6000 We homeschool and it's great! My son is now a teen but dx at 7yrs. We did one year of public school in diagnosis.

[@shemom4]

Have you ever considered getting a service dog to warn you of Here's highs & lows? I saw a news story about it for a little boy in my area. The dog can detect lows 15 minutes before the meter.

[@dreamflight6000]

We looked into it but you can't get one until you are 18 and even then there are a ton of hoops to jump through.

[@delanawilson3711]

dreamflight6000 look into Service Dogs By Warren Retrievers Email: [e-mail] They have videos on KZbin and a Facebook page. They do not have an age limit.

[@summr904]

He's so awesome!

[@dreamflight6000]

I think he's pretty awesome too! ;) Thanks!

[@musicgirl999]

What in the world?! A child care center HAS to accept your child regardless of their internal health issues, including diabetes.

[@abbybeth9051]

[@passion1029]

Actually if they do not have the means to cover the cost....like a nurse and can show that they can turn them away. For safety. Some states allow for non medical staff like the teacher can do it if the teacher is willing to be trained.

[@BitchinDietitian]

Looks familiar! And I'm so impressed that Henry tests his own blood sugar!! We need to get on that. Jake just turned 4 :)

[@dreamflight6000]

He doesn't test himself too often. He gets frustrated because the meter will time out or he won't get enough blood or he presses the strip to hard to his finger and then he'll get an error. He just started recently testing himself before lunch and snack time.

[@rdancer395]

anyone else notice his finger when he was getting the blood out? haha! just thought it was funny😊😂

[@katakuna4679]

I got diagnosed with t1d when I was in preschool

[@BaileyandPypersmom]

Wow! What a smart boy!

[@dreamflight6000]

Thank you! :)

[@aislynvaughn7342]

I thought he was on an Insulin Pump? I just got my Insulin Pump last month so I'm new to it.

[@suzywiebe5069]

my daughter was diagnosed at 2 she is now 6 you are so lucky that the teachers are willing to do his insulin I have to drive to school to do my daughter insulin the school won't do it.

[@luciefrancis3722]

Suzy Wiebe why don't you get here a pump

[@kaoringuyen6558]

I have a younger sister who I care for most of the time. (Our parents are overseas right now) She is 12, and is deathly afraid of her insulin shots. How did Henry get used to it? I have gone through diabetes training, and I've shown her these videos and she does her own blood sugar, but she cries at the sight of needles :/

[@ThorStiger]

use a insulin pump

[@aybaybayboy]

He's only like 4 I don't think he noes what it means to flip somebody off

[@hollisworld2989]

Akito Wilson I don't think u know how to spell

[@dorate100]

she doesnt know what it means dont gotta be rude

[@rebeccaanderson376]

I noticed

[@marshmallowlps2387]

I really want a pump because my blood sugar is out of control :(

[@ThenLoveGrew]

I really know nothing about diabetes but your videos always interest me. I was curious as to what happens with a child with diabetes when they are sick with a stomach bug. How does that effect the diabetes?

[@dreamflight6000]

Thank you for watching and learning!! That is so wonderful to me! Means a lot! When they are sick with the flu?? THAT is a nightmare! Good idea for a video! Thanks

[@elshuckle]

Could I ask why you took Henry off of the pump? I was on a pump from June 2011 to December 2013. I am now back on insulin injections too c:

[@dreamflight6000]

He wasn't able to be a little boy. He was always worried about him pump site and tubing and it would kink all the time and his numbers were all over the place. It was a big headache everyday.

[@lindseynguyen9004]

i am a type 1 diabetes s 200 from ;indsey nguyen

[@bobalvarez775]

The first day i went back to School i past out

[@tracyberry6951]

no a fence put he put his middle finger up at the end put he is so brave

[@t_elisbeth]

Will Henry ever try the insulin pump?

[@dreamflight6000]

He was on the pump (Animas ping) three months after he was diagnosed so it was January 2012 and we took him off the pump this past May...so May 2013.

[@delanawilson3711]

dreamflight6000 try the OmniPod pump. They are tubeless, wireless, and waterproof other than the controller. I had one for 4 1/2 years until my insurance changed, it was wonderful! They last 72 hours, but you have 8 hours after the 72 to change the site, so a full 80 hours until it will shut itself off.

[@delanawilson3711]

I have had Type 1 since I was 4 now 36, so for the last 32 years. I have just developed hypoglycemia unawareness in the last few years. Normally that comes after many years of the diabetes, sorry Henry has it after so few years.
