T1D VLOG: two low blood sugars, getting in routine, and bolusing with omnipod 5

HI! It's been a while. School has been taking up all my time but I am so close to being done! Once I'm done, you'll be seeing more of these! In the meantime, please enjoy this T1D day in the life where I:
-go low several times and talk through how I decide how many carbs to treat with
-navigate bolusing with the omnipod 5 (and show you how I decide carb counts for my meals)
-drop all my insulin on the floor (whoops)
-drink a frappuccino from starbucks!
-show a pretty normal day in my life with diabetes!

I love your videos you have a good energy .

[@denniseisenstein93]

Meg you are awesome. Started on the Omnipod this week - shakes right now but it will get better.

[@Carol_Pearson]

Glad to see I'm not the only one who boluses for 20g of carbs when I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to be having for a meal, just to get something working!

[@megtypeone]

It’s such a helpful strategy!!

[@drivethrutours1916]

What should I do if I sometimes feel an unquenchable thirst and a feeling of dryness in my mouth?

[@Americanguyaneseflavors]

How exciting that u got to visit OP. This episode was very informative- ty

[@megtypeone]

Yes it was so cool! Thanks for watching!!💛

[@ashleylindsey1829]

Meg, I love your day in the life videos! I'd love to see a video of why you don't eat meat and how or if you noticed an improvement in your blood sugars.

[@megtypeone]

Hi! I have one! Here is link 💛 kzbin.info/www/bejne/m17HkKRnetedmJY

[@ajnazukic5660]

Lovin' your Instagram and YT. It is very helpful ❤ Love from Bosnia 🎉

[@babytigtig3795]

I always love the vlog. Do your blood sugars always go up in meetings?

[@megtypeone]

Aw thanks! And sometimes- depends on the meeting! In the one in this video I was introducing myself to a new group of people and doing a small presentation so that can def contribute to some of the lift!

[@MericanMade24]

I hate the omnipod5 so much…probably going back to mdi or switching to the tandem. I had to lower my insulin to carb ratio from 15 to 1 down to 5 to 1 to see any type of success but still go high. Automated made blows big time.

[@winnielane]

Are you using the Dexcom 6 app to view on your Apple Watch?

[@jackschitt6235]

Is there that much difference between different people on Insulin as to when they know they are in trouble and at what number u would pass out if you don't recognize it and respond to it in time?

[@danlaw4067]

Had a question for your lunch with the tortilla's. I see they are 19g carbs for 2, you had 8 plus the beans(over 100 carbs?). What was your total carbs for the meal? My daughter was just diagnosed with type one and she loves bean burritos but they are higher carbs than she wants to use per meal. Thank you!

[@megtypeone]

I had 4 tortillas, not 8. I think I gave a total of around 50g for the meal

[@jessdunn4957]

Enjoy your videos - going to try the nut pods-hoping I can get them in the U.K.

[@megtypeone]

Thanks! And I think they are available there!

[@Chae-r4q]

Hi Meg, I am a newbie for diabetes and I am wondering why you aren’t doing automated insulin pump with the ominipod/ dexcom and just do manual pumping? I watched your other videos and realized that you are doing manual pumping so wanted to ask!

[@megtypeone]

I do use auto mode on omnipod! It connects to my dexcom!

[@Chae-r4q]

@@megtypeone Got it! It seems like you do both bolus and automated together? Like you still count carbs and add pre-meal bolus and then let the omnipod take care of the rest with the automated system?

[@megtypeone]

​@@Chae-r4q Yes--Automated systems still require manual bolusing! (As of last week, the first auto bolus one just got FDA approved)

[@lisamariestahnke1292]

thx for your videos! what is the smartwatch that you have?

[@megtypeone]

Apple series 5! And you’re welcome!
