You guys are so lucky to have a doctor for a dad and a nurse for a sister. Rylee is so lucky she gets be so well-educated about what’s going on in her body.

I’ve been a type 1 diabetic for 12 years now and I can affirm you that everything is gonna be ok! I know it can be a shock and really really hard at first, but you start getting used to it and actually live a great live, as the rest of the people. Please don’t lose faith in yourself ever 💕

[@luckycharms0624]

@@brooke8975 i was diagnosed at 7, so how did i live my first 7 years without insulin? my endocrinologist said that at some point your body attacks the pancreas, so you start getting sicker and sicker from lack of insulin

[@Mari-hj4uj]

I have it too!❤

[@taylorswiftroxs3442]

also can we appreciate (the dad I think) and the education he gave on the fact that type 1 diabetes doesn't mean you have to stop eating sugar!!! like praise him on that and even the way he easily explained it! loved that.

[@jazzyjen5083]

I actually learned a lot from his explanation. I’ve known quite a few diabetics (mostly type 1) and this was the most detailed explanation I’ve heard. I understood the basics of what happened and I knew about the insulin shots and blood sugar readings and all of that but I never really understood exactly what was going on and how the treatment worked. Rylee is so lucky to have him and Brynley who obviously know a fair amount about diabetes to guide her through.

[@ml88b]

@@jazzyjen5083 Her dad did a good job explaining it. One explanation I've heard is that insulin sort of acts like a key that unlocks all your cells so glucose can get in and be used as energy. At the end of the video Rylee mentions 2 different insulins. A normal person has insulin running through them 24/7 then when they eat the pancreas releases more. One of those insulins she mentioned acts as the 24/7 insulin that a normal person has

Sugar doesn’t cause diabetes you pancreas does but you do have to limit you sugar in take

[@taylorswiftroxs3442]

@@brooklynbreaud8752 im a type 1 and have never been told that. if you are type 2 thats insulin resistance so your pancreas still works partically.

[@Eclipse-nm6wf]

Ok diabetic here I was diagnosed type 1 3 months ago I believe and I believe on how it works is that your body damages the pancreas which causes it to not produce insulin cells or not enough you CAN eat sugar like ice creams n stuff just not all the time so on special occasions like birth days yes you could eat some cake or pizza and other junk food (note this may be wrong cus I was half awake when they explained it to us and the doctor who explained it to us sucked)

But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that*

[@capture_14]

she can get diabetes at that young age and it can happen to anyone no matter how healthy. it is simply your pancreas being attacked by your cells. If you are worried then you should prob go to h to e doc and get her finger pricked to see.

[@tamilhannum]

I was diagnosed with t1diabetes at age 11 in 1972. Compared to now it was so much more complicated then! I was fortunate enough to attend camp nyda in ny. That helped a lot. I learned what it meant to have low blood sugar and we called it shaky.i went through ups and downs thru my teens and had 3 healthy babies! But I still continued to not check my sugars the way I should.i don't know how I survived! At age 50 I started to have some trouble with my eyes and had to have eye injections and went in the pump which saved my life. I learned about counting carbs which I had never learned before. My eyes are beautiful now,I have 20/20 vision. God bless you always,it's a tough road,always keep it a priority! Here's going 50 yrs and never thought I would see it!

[@danielledanis9489]

I am a mom of a 25 yr old son who was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes while we were on vacation at Disneyland when he was 11 yrs old. We are Canadian so this was Xmas vacation. My son was at the hospital for 8 days in ICU as he was going into a diabetic comma. It was so overwhelming at first. He started like you with daily injections and finger pokes. He had a pump afterwards and now has an omni pod and free style libre. I can't believe how much it has changed. It will eventually become second nature. I am glad you have a supportive family to help you through this journey. Take care!

Love both with all my heart❤️ some tips: when you are doung your shots dont push the needle in so slow!! And when the needle is in and you pushed in the insulin let go off you fat but stay in! Wait 10 seconds and then you can pull out the needle! The needles you got are actually quiet big! You got 6mm the smallest is 4mm and will be big enough for you!

I’m a diabetic teen, I was diagnosed at 4 so I haven’t known much different, but just know it will get easier as it goes on, and you learn to understand your body and blood sugar. Remember everyone is different, it will never be easy and simple, and your blood sugar is not going to be perfect ever! But you’ll make it through this and learn to handle it as the years go on!

[@madisonvogler1939]

Hey Rylee! I’m diabetic too! I was diagnosed when I was 8 and now I’m 16! It gets so much better! And there is such a good support system everywhere with others with t1d! You’ll be in my thoughts and prays!

[@daisysunsnowserval8085]

You got this stay strong girl! I know it's not easy and this is a huge change. Allow yourself to feel all the feelings that come with this new diagnosis. Its gonna be hard at first but things will get easier. Find yourself a good support group it helps a lot. You not always gonna want to take care of yourself and you'll get burned out. Just know you are strong enough to keep pushing through. It's been 11 years since I was diagnosed it's not easy but its life and you'll get there too.

She has a whole bunch of support & love. She has her own nurse sister.

Hi Rylee. I came across this video by accident but I'm glad that I did. I was diagnosed 3 years in April at the same age as you and I'm here if you ever want to speak about your experience, chat about anything with regard to diabetes and being a teen. I don't have all the answers or maybe any. But I learn each day a different challenge and how strong I am and I'm so sure you will be all good. It's challenging to accept new reality and how your life will never be the same. Also, it's really good to speak about your feelings and experiences especially to another diabetic, who understands what you actually go through. I'm here. Stay strong xxx

[@maryvblair]

I love seeing your family come together around you, it’s so beautiful. You can just tell how much love y’all have for one another. As someone who’s the baby of the family and has my own health problems, I know how scary it can all be (especially for the family) but you guys are so lucky to have each other! Family is everything. (Also: how adorable was Sam lovingly putting his hand on Rylee’s head? Best BIL ever!)

[@simpIykatt]

i got diagnosed with diabetes type 1 exactly 1y 2d ago, stay strong. its hard sometimes. but it doesnt mean u cannot stop doing ur favorite stuff.

[@karadunaway7647]

I’m a fellow diabetic and have been for 15 years. It’s a weird and sometimes hard journey, but a manageable one and you will get the hang of it and be awesome!! 💙

[@paolagutierrez8442]

Jesus Christ loves you , Jesus died for us all,and rose from the dead on Easter Sunday you can trust Jesus , also if you want I really recommend reading the Bible if you don’t already it’s awesome and giving your life to Christ (living for Jesus Christ)/getting in a relationship with God Its really amazing ,even life changing. God bless ! 🤍 “Produce good fruit as evidence of your repentance” (Matthew 3:8) “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."(Romans 6:23) Jesus Christ loves you 🥰

my younger brother has type 1 diabetics, he was diagnosed about two years ago. His alarms go off like crazy. You got this Rylee!

[@delibread2]

praying for Rylee

[@laurenphillips6201]

Every T1D can tell you that while this is not a fun condition to manage - it IS manageable and will not stop you from living your best life! I am 35 and have been type 1 diabetic for 30 years. Be aware of how your body reacts to high and low blood sugars and how different types of food affect them. And an insulin pump or omnipod with a CGM are LIFE CHANGERS. I have been on one now for 3 years and love it. Keep your chin up girl, you’ll be just fine 👍

[@ericahageman6140]

Literally felt like a proud mom watching you give yourself your insulin shots! I was diagnosed when I was 8 and this really brought me back to my stay in the hospital. You’ve got this Rylee. Remember you can still do everything and anything!

[@whitneygillett8045]

You’re going to be just fine sweet girl. I got diagnosed with T1D when I was 21 :) I also still had a professional dance career for years after AND am now a dance teacher. You got this and you’re amazing. The T1D community is so supportive and the technology keeps getting better and better! You’re so strong!

[@appalachianfamilyrecipes4647]

This brought back so many memories of when my so was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It’s a learning journey, my prayers are with you, I promise things will get better.

[@mreees01]

When Lindsay & Sam were comforting Rylee 🥰🥲 so sweeet. Sending you love & positive thoughts Rylee!!! You are so strong. 🤍

[@stephaniehenkes179]

Rylee you are so strong!!! You are a voice for so many!

[@TLBani67]

Oh, gosh, this video gave me flashbacks to when I was diagnosed with T1 and spent time in the hospital. Rylee, you're super brave and I applaud you for documenting your experience as I'm sure it will help a lot of other people to know they aren't alone with this condition. Diabetes is challenging, but I have every confidence you can do this, especially with the love and support of your wonderful family and friends. {{{HUGS}}}

[@lindsaymoses6203]

Stay strong Rylee my brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was in 6th grade currently in 12th grade and has been doing awesome. I know times might get hard but you got this. He also plays sports like ice hockey and doesn’t have a problem with it so i’m 100% positive that you will do even better. you rock💕💕

[@madybritton]

“why was she cuter than she was a few hours ago?” me with my brother. 😭😩🥰

[@maryvblair]

I would love to see a Q&A with Rylee about her experience with T1 Diabetes!

[@gladysnieves6473]

wow thank u for sharing your experience.. I cried watching u cry.. my mom is diabetic and I watch her sugar. god bless u always..

[@saradeeheartsu]

Oh Rylee! You will be okay! I have had Type 1 diabetes since I was 5 years old. I can’t imagine going through diagnosis as a teenager. It will take some time to adjust to this lifestyle, but this disease does not define you and will not hold you back!!!

[@marywaddingham872]

His Rylee.. I am a mom of two kiddos with type 1 diabetes. My daughter is now 23 ( diagnosed at age 6). Son is 20 ( diagnosed at age 9). You are going to be just fine. It’s a lot to learn in a short amount of time but it becomes second nature really quickly. You are going to do great..💕

[@missterri8207]

Rylee, you are strong and can overcome this🙏🏽 God is your strength and healer too. Be encouraged, you can still do the things you love doing🌺

[@andreasavona4160]

Glad your feeling better. You have an amazing family for support. That is the best medicine ❤️

[@kendy2001]

Rylee girl you are doing amazing! I was 5 when I was diagnosed w/ type 1 diabetes. I am 38 years old now. I got to watch my parents learn how to give me my shots because I couldn’t do it! I just want you to know all us diabetics stick together & we will be rooting you on in this new journey. We’re right here beside you girl you got this! Pretty soon you won’t even be feelin the needles it will be nothin but a thing :) sendin love & prayers.

[@rebeccamanning2012]

Been a type 1 diabetic for almost 15 years now and It definitely sucks at first but it becomes second nature pretty quickly. You got this!!!

[@mjsonafinn7545]

Praying for you Rylee! You are a strong young woman and blessed to have a loving family to support you through this difficult time. I know you will get through this! ❤️🙏

[@jessicamcmillen1439]

Sending you lots of love and prayers Rylee. Loved at the beginning when Sam was checking in on her such a sweet moment. She is lucky to have such a supportive and encouraging family.

[@LJ13222]

Seeing Brinley with her at the beginning was so sweet, it probably made her feel so much better having her sister there ❤️❤️❤️ sending love!

[@johnnylynnmiller9917]

It is amazing how positive she is!!!! So much admiration! Praying for ya'll!

[@evevirginia]

I’m 15 and have had T1D for three years, it’s a long journey you will have struggles but you got this!!💖

[@kajaytreb1407]

3:45 this moment taught me more than school did. It was a good way to describe it!

[@laurafischer8696]

Another fellow type one here💙 I’ve had T1D since I was 4 and I’m 23 now. It can be tricky and overwhelming, but with such an incredible support system you will always be surrounded by love. There are so many improvements taking place in our community! Allow yourself to feel all your emotions. You are a warrior girl!

[@LovedByYou]

Aweee Riley, poor baby. I'm sooo happy she has a family surrounding her, supporting her, protecting her. You got this girl.

[@deanahryn9126]

Rylee, I know its so so scary this time in your life is but you’ve got this! We went through a similar situation with my nephew about 3 years ago and although it is scary time, don’t worry you will manage this beautifully! Know that you have so many to support you and those that follow you are with you all the way! Great Job!
