The Unexpected Positives of Living with Type 1 Diabetes | She's Diabetic

Life with Type 1 Diabetes is full of Unexpected Positives ◉ Subscribe: goo.gl/ZfjYfu
For those of you watching on Publication Day...HAPPY WORLD DIABETES DAY!
Living with this condition is hard...really hard...and I'm in no way trying to undermine that difficulty, but it's given me a lot of positives and taught me a ton of lessons too that are so linked to living with the condition it would be a huge oversight not to acknowledge them.
I also truly believe in acknowledging the positives we can become stronger, more resilient, and can live happier, healthier lives.
Happy Day to you My Fellow Diabuddies
Remember, always, you are not alone 💙

There's also the unexpected practical advantage that we are under advanced medical supervision. I have lots of "healthy" friends that lived with undetected issues like heart disease or liver issues for years, up to a point that could be life threatening. My endo (or the t1d care in my country in general) do regular checkups that can catch issues in advance.

[@ShesDiabetic]

Oh MY GOODNESS!!! This is SUCH and excellent point!!! I’m pinning this comment!! It’s brilliant!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@christinewelch4918]

Thanks for the reminder of the positive tings diabetes brings. My mother who was a T1D for 45 years, claimed she was much healthier having diabetes than if she hadn’t had it. Her mind remained sharp right to the end (95) and she even gave her own insulin the first two years she was in the nursing home. She drove (even on our major highways) and lived in our family home until she was 92. Something to aspire to!

[@ShesDiabetic]

OH CHRISTINE!!! Thank you so so much for sharing this with me and all of us here - this is INCREDIBLY INSPIRING!!! How amazing and awesome to have such an incredible Mother and example right in front of your eyes. Her kindness and joy and health clearly lives on through you. I'm so grateful to YOU for being here and being such a sprite of joy Christine, Happy World Diabetes Day to you Christine!! 💙💙💙

[@annecurtin336]

When I was diagnosed in 1975, I asked my pediatrician if there would ever come a time when we could test blood sugars at home. He looked very sad, & said "Not in your lifetime." I am so grateful for my Dexcom - & wish my Father & sister could have access to CGM. Maybe they would still be here. And Andrea - you are amazing! I really needed to be reminded there are positives to living with TP1 - thanks!

[@whitneycurtis622]

I never really thought about the positives to that extent. I do find it a burden sometimes but on the other hand it's just something I've accepted. I think if i look at my diabetes more positively I won't feel as down when something doesn't go right. Thank you for this.

[@94Greenbean]

So I don’t know how this popped up in my KZbin feed, but I want to thank you for what you’re doing because I needed to watch this and hear those items, I’m 48 years old currently and I’ve had type one diabetes since I was 14 years old, I’ve overcome a lot over the years and not having a bachelors. I was able to become a police officer for a couple years all the while being a diabetic. You hit the nail on the head and that it’s completely hidden and people look at you, and they don’t know really anything, I have to remind my loved ones it’s like working a completely second full-time job and never getting paid for it or acknowledged about it or any benefits from it in the amount of stress it puts on you, keep up the good work!

[@riccardrosen2073]

The best thing about T1 is that I would never had found your videos on YT without it.

[@isabelavalos1298]

Thank you so much for the positivity and encouragement. My 9 year old son Matthew was just diagnosed on 9/11/21 and we still have so much to learn. It has been one of the most challenging times for our family. One of the nurse’s at the hospital told us to take it one day at a time and sometimes one hour at a time. I am so grateful for my son and for the support we’ve had through this. Every day is a gift no matter how hard it might be. Thank you for this uplifting reminder to focus on all the good there is!

[@lnnormand9341]

That nurse is right. I am type 1. 50 years, i was 10. The best advice my doctor gave me back then was: "You are living with this and you will know what to do. You do what's right for you". He was right. I have met a lot of doctors including endos who are not sure how to deal with this because they don't live with me. A lot of times its a guessing game, too much or not enough insulin, still today. But it is every day, every hour, as long as he keeps at it.Good luck.

[@sorinzorzoana9531]

Thanks for sharing your energy ! My 8 years old kid was diagnosed with T1D several months ago and you have been a good source of hope. Besides the excellent information you provide, it's also a joy to admire your beauty :) . We wish you all the best !

[@auswalker7865]

Thankyou so much Andrea for reminding me after my 48 years of Type 1 Diabetes that I am very fortunate to still be here - and healthy. I probably take this too much for granted. Thanks for your continued inspiration. Diabetes is a great community and you can take credit for being a wonderful source of encouragement for us all.

Hi, I'm from India, I do have Type 1 diabetes at the age of 14. Your video motivate me so much, Thanks ❤❤❤

[@alice_rabbit8345]

Type 1 diabetes made me more aware of what I was eating. I’m 62 and was diagnosed 3 years ago. I was truly a junk food eater. Even though I loved healthy foods, junk food was “easier”. I eat much healthier now and (gluten free) cookies are now a treat!!

[@elisabetta594]

I always think about the time when we will be cured and we will look back and think "What a journey".

[@Lobstrique]

i REALLY love the thought that i save my life every day!! never ever thought of diabetes that way! what you said made me tear up :)

[@Amy-zw2wq]

Honestly, this was a wonderfully emotional video to watch. I laughed and cried all at the same time while my husband and cats looked at me from across the room not undertanding the range of emotions I was experiencing. I must've looked like a lunatic :). As you said in this video, it's quite something, being aware of how thin that line really is and the work it requires to keep ourselves alive everyday. The empathy we gain on top, heh, that's the real killer for me. Anyway, staying on track, my life has gone through a lot of (not so easy) changes lately and I was feeling a bit crappy about my betes today. I only recently found your videos and I'm super grateful for that because boy oh boy can I relate. I see a lot of myself in you, your positivity and attitude towards Type 1 and life. So, even though I generally never comment, I couln't help but want to thank you today. You, a complete stranger from the other side of the world, have helped me in ways that many people can't even imagine. Watching you, I know you understand. All of this needs no explanation to a type 1. I wore my Free Style Libre 2 today for the first time and I only had the courage to do so after watching your videos. I was scared senseless for some reason. So once again, thank you Andrea, beautifully kind stranger for making these videos and making a difference. In short, excuse my emo ramblings and thanks for the awesome vid! :)

[@Jrod-]

I’ve thought about how this condition has made me appreciate the strict more healthy choices I take every day. Sometimes I feel resentful and upset, but it’s good to look at the positive. Thanks

So yes I'm grateful that my diagnosis at 51 (during covid) even though overwhelming, has definitely been in a more educated/advanced environment of diabetes understanding.

[@cut--]

Your such an inspiration! I found out I had type 1 last summer after a nasty bout with HEP A , a food born illness. At 58 it was a shock to suddenly have to learn new diets, taking my sugar levels, injecting insulin, taking about 20 meds, doctors appoinnments all the time. Mostly to realize I can't just run off and begin a two week hike, can't eat all the foods I used too.. thanks for this video. =)

I didn’t think of it for the longest time, I must admit! I think we’re taught that it’s all bad bad bad and a problem, but when you think about it, while that’s true, there are also positives to be found! 💙

[@traceymayo1583]

This was just what I needed to hear. as people with TP1 know its so hard some days doing the constant tests and injections that you forget about the positives, so thank you Andrea for this :)

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! I definitely know it’s so hard to be t1d and the struggle is omnipresent and really really overwhelming at times, but I try to remind myself that there are also positives even in the darkest corners. Definitely easier said than done though - that must be said 💙💪

[@kevinjohnston8100]

Andrea you and the other vloger I follow dont realise how much help and support we gain from these videos. Everything you have talked about is spot on plus getting it wrong at times is ok as you guys point out. We are all human and do get things wrong or just get plain fed up. But watching you guys and going through the comments from everyone and taking what we need from them is empowering and does so much as least for me to keep on track and focused on living well. These are as good as a hospital visit for me. So keep those videos and tips coming so we can all have an input and learn from it other. Keep well everyone.

My main positive is what Andrea pointed out: makes me eat healthier. I lost a bunch of weight when i first became diabetic (whish i'd staid in keto acidosis four a few more pounds lololol) and the disease has required that i make better eating choices which has kept the weight off and honestly that does make me feel better about myself. So that's my silver lining to this whole thing. Hope you all can find yours too!

Interesting approach to the diabetic humor... I don't know if you ever tried it, but FB has communities of diabetes.. Here in the US, you learn about technology hacks and a lot of kind help from the community (which makes FB really an amazing tool to unite all us so easily). I agree how amazing it is that there are so many technological advancements to help us make this condition easier. I wish the progress was faster.. And as you mentioned, there are other conditions that we can't detect.. However, I wish some of the other conditions have some faster resolutions.. Obviously, Covid has made things harder than ever... But positivity is key.. Family is key and Faith helps brings it all together.. Thanks for bringing your great energy and looking forward to seeing more resourceful videos!

Your comments did make me pause and think that we do manage maintaining our life every day. Your suggestions on how you deal with the holidays that are fast approaching would be helpful. Easier for us that are retired and don't face those holiday tables of goodies at work during this period. I have heard of care facilities that will throw all caution to the wind on Thanksgiving Day so everyone can be like everyone else. Can't say I'll do that but do plan on pumping more insulin than usual. And with daylight shorter and temperatures dropping it sure isn't easy to go out and walk off some carbs while everyone else is cozy watching football games on the sofa. For those that have a diabetic in their lives, may I at least suggest an offer to take that walk with them.

Thank you Andrea for this..lots of people would scorn me for saying this, but T1D has been a blessing for me to the point that I can’t see myself living without it. Embracing T1D has forged a strength in me that I never knew existed. Even though it’s exhausting, relentless, consuming, literally endless, I wouldn't change a thing, because of what it’s taught me and because of the principles it’s instilled in me. In many ways it’s been a blessing in disguise.

[@ShesDiabetic]

I TOTALLY know what you mean. And I know what you mean where you say people would scorn us saying this, and I get that, but there are a lot of positives that are really helpful to acknowledge because it reminds us how much we've overcome and how strong we are!! Totally hear you!!

Great video. The "counting your blessings" one is a big one for me, we are very very lucky to have lived in a time when not just insulin but also CGMs and ultra-rapid insulins are a thing. But, conversely, I also hear people complaining about their food and think "you have absolutely no idea mate". But the biggest one for me is health. Type 1 aside, I've never been healthier. I'm eating way more healthily than I ever did and, most importantly, have discovered a new love of biking every day. I'm far fitter than I ever was thanks to Type 1.
