My Type 1 Diabetes Diagnosis Story: 1 Year Diaversary Recap

[@Carolineisthebest]

I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes October 19th, 2011 when I was only 3 years old. I’m 14 now. This October is 11 years with diabetes for me!!

[@kylemaynard3758]

I was diagnosed when I was 12 with a blood sugar of 1,021. The best thing to do is to fall in love with nutrition, exercising and the science behind TD1.

[@ameliaholmes4659]

Just got diagnosed last week and I had the same leg pains, thirst and blurred vision. Learning all I can now. Thank you for your videos.

[@pickledrick5158]

I was diagnosed when I was 7 years old in August. I remember we went on this trip to beach in Rocky Point, and the drive was so long I kept going to the restroom every half an hour. I was so tired the entire time. When we got back I just got sicker and sicker, I was losing weight very rapidly. The last week I lost about 5 pounds for a small child is very significant. The last morning I woke very sick, stomach pain, tired and very thirsty. I asked my mom for a large soda I was craving sweet stuff and thirsty so made sense to get a soda. She got me a large 1 liter Pepsi. I drank the entire thing. As time went on I was just falling asleep and was so hungry, we went to KFC and got some smashed potatoes and biscuits (bad choice). Around 6pm I was so tired I could not stay up and passed out. At 1am I woke up and starting throwing up and I was very dehydrated. I was so thirsty and started drinking water and immediately vomited. We went to the ER as it was alarming puking water. I had the kasmaul respiration and fruity breath. The doctor saw me and asked my mom if I was diabetic. She said no, doesn’t run in the family. They checked my blood sugar and it was 478 mg/dl. I was diagnosed on the spot.

[@martinakrusharova5394]

Thank you for your video! I am still in the hospital, waiting for my blood sugar to go down and normalise, just got diagnosed with T1D as well. Feels nice to hear your story. I am also 27 years old and the diagnosis feels like a slap on the face - like, I just got my life together and now I have to relearn everything all over.

[@JannellWashington-t4x]

😢I was diagnosed at 27 I'm still trying to make sense of this 30 years later. Not to discourage you because there is a ton of medical information and equipment available to T1D Ask about the DEXCOM G6 or G7 I hope you take on healing and being healthy best you can. Jannell W

[@Atrus999]

I never had leg pain but I did have trouble breathing, I was physically exhausted to the point where I couldn't walk across the room, and was throwing up after every meal. I later found out my blood sugar was in the 800's because I was drinking a ton of orange juice thinking it would help. 🤣

[@toomuchnez2629]

My 12 year old was diagnosed with type 1 April 19th 2022.. So this is really new for us. I was just watching your story and I’m thinking about my daughters symptoms. All her symptoms were pretty much the same as yours extreme thirst, weight loss, and frequent urination. The one thing I have never heard as a symptom until now is leg pain. My daughter complained of leg pain before she was diagnosed and I thought it was just growing pains. Even just a few days ago she said her legs were hurting really bad, I never thought it had anything to do with her diabetes. I was going to take her to her primary doctor for the leg pain but now I’m going to bring it up to her endocrinologist. Thank you for your story🙏🏾

Wow, thanks for the video! The same thing happened to me, when I turned 30. But, initially they wrongly diagnosed me with type 2 diabetes. Then I got really sick, but it finally got sorted out a few months later. I'm also a "brittle diabetic," so my BS is easily affected. I used to frequent the gym 4 day's a week. But haven't for years now. I've had a few incidents that scared me. And somehow developed a phobia of sorts. Hopecto, get over this and get active again. I also developed really bad neuropathy in my hands,arms, and legs. Which puts a damper on things. Take care-

Your dietitian was treating you as if you are a Type 2. The same thing happened to my son when he was in the hospital after his Type 1 diagnosis. My son was diagnosed in 2004. He was 4 years old, so you can imagine my reaction when the dietitian showed me the plate. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

[@Type1Tribe]

exactly!!! hope you and your son are doing well now

[@thomasalexander8499]

I've been type 2 since 1989. 15 years ago I went on insulin after taking all the usual pills, diet and exercise and still not getting control. Going on insulin was the best thing that a doctor did for me as far as treatment goes. I have long said that calling type 1 and type 2 the same word "diabetes" is probably wrong. I of course, have insulin resistance where you have no insulin production ability. The symptoms and consequences may be the same but the disease and treatment is quite a bit different. I read these diagnosis stories with great interest and though I of course, have my own story, I am not at a place where I feel I should share it. I wish you a long and healthy life and I am thankful we live at this time where there is so much more understanding and treatment available!

[@HousewerkRecords]

Hospitals, doctors etc are notoriously bad and uneducated on the diet side f things when it comes to type 1 diabetes. Let’s be very very clear here. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CANNOT EAT! I have been Type 1 since I was a very young child, 32yrs. As long as you carb count and take the right amount of insulin you’ll be fine. Here in the UK, we have specialist doctors and nurses for diabetes and these are the hero’s that give you all the information you need and they are so supportive. Happy to talk to anyone that has T1D. Remember, you’re not alone even though sometimes it feels that way.

[@aniifeoma9705]

Help me please how do I talk to you😊😊

[@najamiller4922]

Hi, I was recently diagnosed with type one. ( misdiagnosed as type 2 for over a year) . The docs have me taking 15 units of fast acting insulin ( 5 before breakfast, 5 before lunch and 5 units before dinner) . My concern is that, I have been given this instruction from they just found out inqas diabetic. Now that they know fir sure I am type one, should I still be taking my insulin the same way? As a type one , do I need to administer insulin every time I eat something ?

[@mikeallen7731]

Fast acting Insulin is needed every time you eat

[@lovelybones6891]

Kinda hard when doctors say u type 2 for 3 years when actually a type 1 so very thankful for the videos & do we suppose to give us insulin every time the sugar is high?

[@billyoung8118]

Diagnosed 1/17/1985, just after my 17th birthday. Just had my 39th diaversary this year. While T1 isn't the worst thing someone can have (at least it is treatable), it is a very difficult condition. I do predictive modeling and statistics for a living - so you'd think I'd be better at carb counting, corrections, etc. Sometimes you do everything textbook perfect, and nothing goes right. So frustrating! Best of luck to your long-term health!

So true!!!

[@ZionHanson-fh6vn]

Thank you very much!! Very well explained!!

Recently diagnosed with type one diabetes, and the hospital that diagnosed me only gave me Metformin. Then I soon learned that type one means your body doesn't produce insulin, because I ended up back in the hospital. Now i'm taking insulin and feeling much better. Thank you for sharing your story!

I’m sorry to see your email list isn’t functioning anymore. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Your story helped me understand what was happening to me healthwise in the years before I got type 1 at 20 years old. Our stories have similarities in that my symptoms started in December and it wasn’t until Valentine’s Day that I was rushed to the ER. I have now had it for 30 years. I seem to have a much harder time with it than most people.

[@SanctifiedLady]

What makes it harder for you?

[@kristabelle9581]

@@SanctifiedLady My blood sugar has always been unmanageable. It spikes for unknown reasons. The only way for me to get it to stay even is not to eat. I’ve tried pumps and they aggravated how frequently I went low. I have a lot of comorbidities so that may be why I can’t control it. I go low on average 8+ times a day trying to maintain tight control and my A1c is rarely under 7. I am now fully disabled.

[@Daughter.of.wolves]

I was just diagnosed in July (age 28) and they also talked to me like I'd never be able to have carbs. I was extremely depressed for other reasons long before the DKA. When they told me I'd have to eat mostly vegetables for the rest of my life it just crushed me. At the time I was like so let me get this straight... my life was already pain and now you're telling me I can't have any of the foods that make life worth living? I was genuinely done. I actually tried to kms in the ER that first night. At one point the CDE I had asked why I was upset and I said because I'll never be able to have junk food again. I was hoping her response would be comforting and that she'd tell me I can have junk foods in moderation as a special treat but all she said was "oh honey but that stuff is not doing anything for you" I was so mad. Like really? Y'all can't just tell the suicidal girl she can have one measly little potato chip if it makes her feel better? Not "doing anything" for you? Who tf thinks about food that way! I'm glad they sent me to a psychiatric hospital for another week because I met 2 other people there who had t1d too. Between them and the online community I discovered later I'm finally learning that I can still eat most things as long as I take enough insulin.

[@Type1Tribe]

Yes absolutely!! They tend to scare you at the doctor but don’t worry - you can still eat the foods you love!

[@Lonewolf_rider]

2018 I was diagnosed with T2D after been tired,weak,fatigue, all day constant thirst and peeing and fast weight loss of 10 kg in a couple of weeks. I wasn't overweight or anything, but the clue comes later hold on! I immediately started running and exercising more frequently and was of the metformin in two months after two to three months I started Ketogenic and could keep everything in check without meds! Past February I got a virus and was sick for a day or four after that I was very weak and recovering went very slow till non. I lost 12 kg in about two weeks time and I was thinking, well it could be the virus? My energy dropped like crazy and breathing was heavy and couldn't do much because of the breathing. I went to see the doctor total of three times,first time the advice was,take a rest...week later...blood work and they stated...your blood sugar is a little raised but nothing to worry about...go to a physician to work on your breathing...I went one time...didn't need them. The third time I went to my doctor I said to him that I want to go to the hospital because this is getting crazy by now,lost more weight, all my muscles where gone and still they were looking at me as to say take a rest. A couple of weeks later I had an appointment at the hospital and they did blood work ..the week or so after that I was put directly on insuline and saved my life 🙏🏻 By the end of April I started insuline so three months I was dying literally! The doctors told me that if I was a week or two later they had to put me on the IC and if I was a month or maybe two months later I was dead. Diagnosed now with lada, the T2D was all wrong from the start sadly enough! I'm now on insuline and almost back on track,still doing Ketogenic diet and going strong! Keep it up and keep thinking for yourselfs because most doctors are copies of big pharmacy so watch out!

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 3 weeks ago. For the last 5 years I was told I had type 2 diabetes. When I was unable to control my blood sugar with food and metfromin, my doctor told me to just keep trying. I pushed her into doing blood tests on me, which she was very reluctant to do. After all the tests were done, she told me I was probably missed diagnosed. But I'm actually not sure. My l ife is turned upside down. The people I have told that I have it, seem to think its not big deal. It is a huge deal to me. Even my husband doesnt really understand, but he is trying. I feel depressed today. I've been keeping a good mental attitude, but today I feel the weight of my diagnosis. I'm going over to Europe in a week, and I'm scared. I've been watching videos which is how I found you.

I was diagnosed at 29 just like you in December 1999 23 yeears ago. Just like you I didn't suspect i had anything going on with me ike diabetes even though i was constantly thirstly needing to pee every 30 minutes and very very lethargic all the time. I remember my brother noticing these changes and was concerned I was on drugs which made me cry. I was complaining to my doctor about numbness in hands and legs so she set up a Nerve conduction test and the doctor testng me suspected i had diabetes just by my overall attitude and seeing me all lethargic at 9am in the morning, i was always really active and ate really well no processed foods etc and was quite active. so this doctor gave me a form to get myself tested after a 24 hour fast for diabetes. MY A1C was clost to 20!!!! which meant my blood sugars were running superhigh but my doctor didnt send me to the hospital she set up an appoint with an endo and the hosptial for diabetes training for some reason for first 6 years my endo insisted i was type 2 despite my heathy diet and activty levels and refused to put me on insulin even with all my efforts i never could get my A1C down below 12,5 which is still horrible numbers. I finally dumped my original endo my family doctor thought i was nuts but got me a new endo. that endo put me on insulin immediately and he told me that i must of had diabetes for many years before i was offiicially diagnosed because it was virtually impossible to have neauropathy and vision loss that quickly into the desease but because i ate healthy was relatively active i burned off alot of my blood sugars its 2022 now and sincee i been put on MDI insulin injecttions i have managed to keep my A1Cs between 7 and 8.5% most of the time.. Not perfect I know but so much better thenn were I started. Next step for me is possibly going on a pump. probably omnipod since i cant imagine having to deal with tubing.

When I had ketoacidosis the first meal they fed me was baked ziti. The nutrition in hospitals for diabetics is abysmal. You will go through a honeymoon period after being diagnosed where you will have more leeway. After 50 years of diabetes, I reduce carbs because of insulin resistance…that happens often after years of injecting insulin. Early on, I could eat pasta, bread and desserts with a few units of short acting insulin…not so after fifty years.

Type 2 diabetes is often occurs due to excessive semen loss through doing masturbation and over sex, it is seen person who follows celibacy for 1 year, preserving semen in most cases they do reverse type 2 diabetes.

@@Type1Tribe you are welcome, hope you get fine, feeling sad for you but happy to see you are very happy and confident, semen retention concept is real and supported by even now many scientists of modern medical, it is said after doing semen retention for 90 days it completes one cycle, once over 3 cycles done, semen will start nourishing damaged cells of body especially endocrine gland, animals rarely get any diseases the reason is they do sex only 1-2 times in a year and that is too in specific season not 24*7*52

Can you bring up the study regarding this topic. I am sure there are more reasons and diabetes is more complicated than what you described type1 diabetes especially

@@alial-qasim2453 excessive sex or masturbation destroys androgen Receptors means body no longer be able to use testosterone effectively, instead they will get converted into estrogen, and eventually significantly lowes testosterone, that is now happening hormonal imbalance that will lead to fat gain and that is how insulin resistance occurs as hormonal imbalance permanently destroys insulin receptors of cells so lack of receptors means poor insulin sensitivity leading to diabetes, in type 1 diabetes if it is since childhood then okay but in often young people and especially in late teens and early 20s when a person thinks about sex or masturbation, his body will react extreme negatively and will destroy Pancreas beta cells, that is how type 1 occurs.

​@@Rahul_bhatt_123 this is absolutely ridiculous. If true only males would be afflicted by diabetes. Females would be exempt, also children and celibates would be exempt. My severely mentally handicapped brother in law is type 1 diabetic and doesn't even know what sex, or masturbation is. This theory is way out there and there is no evidence of it being even remotely accurate.
