HOW RYLEE FOUND OUT SHE HAS TYPE 1 DIABETES!!

[@rivermania10]

Thanks for sharing your story with us, Rylee! Could you guys maybe do a “day in the life of a type 1”? I am curious to see how you go about with your day to day with dance, competitions, etc

[@RobloxNOW-]

Me too I was going to ask about that.

[@hshhdhddhdhdhhd3587]

Well I know how's I day of a t1d bc I have t1d. When I see people caring so much I have mixed feelings. It's just touching

[@BestThingIveNeverHad]

So in other words, don't dismiss your kids when they tell you that something is wrong. We as individuals know our bodies best. So glad that Rylee is okay as this could have been deadly (I know this as a medical professional myself). You go Rylee for standing up for yourself and how you feel.

[@laranye118]

I’m so happy to see other people talking about type one diabetes . I was diagnosed at 7 years old with type one diabetes and I’m now 26 years old so thank you for being open and not afraid to talk about it:) You’ve got this girl!

[@adonafortune231]

So happy that Rylee is doing so much better

[@Ubetchagirl]

I’m so happy that Rylee and her mom shared their story because it opens eyes not only for the person going through the process of symptoms and diagnosis, but for parents or anyone to help notice the symptoms to help others that may go through the same thing.

[@aponinodin]

Amazing how Rylee intuitively knew she had diabetes and was telling her parents even before she got diagnosed. It's awesome what your body knows!

[@Mary-ir8ct]

Before I was diagnosed with my autoimmune disease I was losing so much weight and was really fatigue and I felt like the people around me just thought I was dramatic and didn’t start to believe me until I got really bad. Feeling unheard and having people tell me I was dramatic when I needed help was really hard. I hope this story helps remind people to never be afraid to see somebody if you feel like something is wrong. Listen to your body❤️

[@AstroGirl_draws]

I can totally relate all through highschool I was super fatigued, I was also a dancer and doing all extra curriculars. My parents just thought I was doing too much. I also had a job. It wasn’t until I was 19 that they found I had hashimotos. I was relieved to find that I wasn’t crazy, and my parents felt awful they didn’t realize there was something wrong

[@EclecticElegance13]

Yes!! Been there. Got diagnosed with lupus and RA when I was 19 and got accused of being crazy by multiple doctors. Its now been 11 years for me but I’m so thankful to be on treatments that work and living as close to normal a life as I’ll ever live! ❤️ you’re not alone!!

[@liz1904]

I was diagnosed with Type 1 almost 12 years ago when I was 11. Even so many years later, it's inspiring to see someone else go through the same things I did. Thank you for talking about it and keep up the good work!

[@emma663]

Thank you Rylee for opening about type 1 diabetes and your experience. Much love ❤️❤️

[@shrinapatel2482]

so glad Rylee is ok! I was always worried for her as i could tell she wasn’t really focused on what her sisters were saying in the video or talking much! however, since she’s been diagnosed i’ve noticed she’s more focused and happy!

[@MegaDreamer87]

So glad that Rylee is doing well, and I'm glad you shared what you went through.

[@TheChronicExplorer]

So hard to get diagnosed with a chronic illness as a young person but you will help so many other young people with T1D and other chronic illness by being so brave and sharing your story!

[@yourgirlfriendlllll]

Yep I’m a type one diabetic as well! I got diagnosed at 10

[@lucysun3318]

The part about the parents who are medical professionals was soooo relatable for me!! I have to be practically D Y I N G for them to notice!

[@pancakespandemonium]

As a parent I’m so grateful that you are sharing honestly. It can be so hard with the pressure to “ be perfect” in this social media world! Having teens I can see how the symptoms along the way seemed like teen issues! I’m so glad y’all found out and she’s taking it like a champ!

[@juliasell7287]

So glad she is feeling better now! My dad was diagnosed with T1D at age 48, my sister was diagnosed at age 18, and my brother was diagnosed at age 19, so you are not alone. Thank you for sharing your story. I’m sure this will help so many people going through the same thing!

[@brendachaves6375]

Thinking about you Rylee. You got this!! Stay strong.

I’m so happy I came across Rylee and this channel❤️ I was diagnosed with type 1 @ 21 a few years ago with a similar experience. Type 1 can sometimes be hard but keep your head up!!! I’ve accomplished more as a type 1 diabetic than I had before. So stay positive and you’ll be amazing! Amazing things are happening!!!! ❤️

[@aliceblois1069]

Sharing about your journey is so important for awareness and support to other diabetics--especially teens. Rylee you are pretty amazing. I'm impressed with how you are handling it all. Parents you are amazing too. In the end, Rylee got the help she needed. Great job family.

Let’s talk about the cover of this video though omg 🤩🤩🤩 Rylee you’re literally the most stunning person ever holy cow. Not to mention you look so grown up (Ik, I sound like a mother). Gorg girl!!

[@CaitlynKuznicki2028]

Hi Rylee! Your video saved me. I watched it, showed my mom, and when I felt awful I went to doctor and insisted on getting tested even when my parents and doctors didn’t believe me. Your video listing all the symptoms made me realize that was me. I play vollleyball and am super active and just like you it masked the symptoms in a way. I’m here in the hospital getting better and it’s a long journey but your video can save lives. Thank for being an inspiration to so many and I hope to pay that same idea forward. Thank you!

the feelings of trying ur best when ur ill and ur teacher being mad at you is the worst. i have juvenile arthritis and i cried everyday after dance because this one teacher would tell me all the time that if i was in so much pain maybe i was doing it to myself. it was so frustrating to be in so much pain and not know what it was from and when i finally got my diagnosis it was a huge relief to finally have a solid reason for why this was happening to me. thank you for sharing your story

[@luzdelcarmen928]

SO proud of you Ry ! Keep pushing through diabetes , and listen to your parents and doctor because they know it best to help. I have type 2 diabetes and I also had a rough time with tight control sugar in order to prevent the symptoms.

[@college209]

@luz delcarmen I have type 2 diabetes as well. If you have instagram. I have a diabetic page for diabetics @thediabetic.life

[@kimseavey8904]

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 8 days before she turned 11. She had to go to the pediatric ICU because she was in diabetic ketoneacidosis. I had the same mom guilt because I didn't connect all the dots at first. One of the best peices of advice I can give you is to celebrate the day you got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. My daughter aways gets a present on her diaversary. Its a way to make that day positive. Do what is best for you and your family. This is a family thing as well. Make sure and test every time before you drive and always keep sugar on you for low sugars. Its also a great idea to have medical ID card/jewerly on you. If you can educate people on diabetes then do because alot of people don't understand about what diabetes really is. One last thing, you can do anything you want to do in life!! You control type 1 diabetes but type one diabetes doesn't control you! My daughter is my hero! Much love to you!

i was diagnosed at 10 and share a similar experience. thank u rylee!! ❤

[@danielledanis9489]

This is a great thing to do as you are educating many people. I had the mom guilt also as we were on vacation in the USA from Canada. I thought my son was dehydrated from the long flight. I gave him powerade (so more sugar). He was going into a diabetic coma. In his case, doctors figure that puberty triggered his onset of diabetes. 12 yrs later, he is doing very well. He is getting married next month, has a great job and has his own vehicle and house. It is a lifelong change but it is part of his daily routine these days.

[@paige8158]

I love omnipod, its wireless so no tubes like other pumps and I’m a level 6 gymnast and it’s GREAT with sports. I highly recommend.

[@sshannonxrosee]

Thank you for speaking on your story and spreading awareness! I was diagnosed in a similar way but as a Type 2 diabetic. My symptoms started a few months prior to my diagnosis with fatigue and just feeling really unwell everyday. It slowly developed into increased thirst to where I was drinking 10+ large glasses of water a day and it still didn’t feel like enough. Then I started to urinate frequently and it led to being woken up multiple times a night too. I had felt a similar way when I had food poisoning which happens often when I eat meat which I had recently done so I figured it was that and ignored it even longer. But one afternoon I was dealing with severe fatigue and took a 6 hour nap only to wake up and not feel any different. I searched my symptoms on Google and repeatedly got diabetes but it didn’t seem like it could be that as I’ve never dealt with anything serious to my health before. The next morning I went grocery shopping and noticed that I struggled to not only walk around the store but I couldn’t read any of the signs to each aisle because my eyes were so blurry. I decided to check my BG at home (I have lots of diabetics in my family so they had the device and supplies to do so) but I didn’t follow the steps correctly and got a BG reading of 514. I for sure thought it was because I didn’t prep my fingers, change the needle in the lancing device, and put enough blood into the test strip so I checked it again and got a reading of “HIGH.” I was told that a high reading meant my BG was 600+ as the meter cannot read past that. I was in denial and tried again, which I got another “HIGH.” I went into the ER that night and was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes as my BG was at 704 and I was in DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis). I also had a low white blood cell count and was in sepsis. 704 was enough to make me feel like I was literally dying so I cannot imagine being over 1,000. I was also told that if I waited any longer, I could have very well died as DKA is no joke. I was 17 at the time so I was rushed to and admitted into a children’s hospital where I spent 2 days getting the proper education around the clock and lowering my BG. They do a good job with bringing in a nutritionist and teaching you about your new diet, how insulin works and how to take your own shots, how to check your BG, and so on. It’s been 7 months since my diagnosis, I’m completely insulin dependent and it’s been very tough. It’s hard to balance out your numbers and stabilize them as this disease seems to have a mind of it’s own. Some days I’m dealing with hyperglycemia and other days hypoglycemia and it really hits your body in ways that you wouldn’t expect. More awareness needs to be spread to this disease and the misconceptions/myths need to be sorted out too. And if you’re reading this and experiencing similar symptoms, I cannot stress this enough - get checked !!! I hope you’re feeling better and getting the hang of things ❤️ this disease is a lot, especially on a young person but you’re strong and will get through it. Here’s to hoping we find a cure soon 🥂

[@abigailgrace_930]

To me this sounds more like type 1 diabetes, but again I don’t know all the details. But I hope that you are managing it well and are in a better state now!

[@kimbird7606]

Glad you're doing well. As a type 1 diabetic of 43 years I understand completely how you're feeling. One suggestion look into an OmniPod system. It makes life so much better, you are able to go swimming or take a shower without having to worry about a regular insulin pump and plugging it off. Also no more shots!!!!

[@sarahgalovich3007]

I was diagnosed 6 years ago when I was 10. I am now on the omni pod and the dexcom. I highly recommend them both. The omni pod is water proof and great for sports because there’s no tubing and the dex in is great because I never have to worry about sleeping through a low because there is alarms!

I JUST found you on here. I am 50 years old and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in January. We found it while I had Covid. My blood sugar was 890 (A1C 16.1) in ER. I’d never been pre-diabetic either. I also have MS, which is an autoimmune disease. Not sure if I was more at risk…. with already having an autoimmune disease. I’m so sorry that you are going through this. I’m a nurse and didn’t catch it. The signs were there while I had Covid but I was so sick, that I wasn’t putting the puzzle pieces together. I was literally out of my mind. At 50, I’d never dreamed of becoming a type 1 diabetic. I’m so glad to have found your channel. I believe God puts certain people and situations in your life for a reason. Thanks for sharing your story. God bless you!

[@cc6742]

My sisters situation was so similar. All the symptoms we saw, we managed to give reasoning to. Like she always had a bit of “weight” on her as she’s growing up so when she lost it we thought maybe she’s growing out of it as some teenagers do. As a dancer she was always active giving reasoning to her constant drinking and eating. We only started to question it when we went on a holiday and being by her 24/7 we noticed how much she was drinking, eating and using the bathroom. Hard not to notice as we were constantly being stopped and finding a bathroom while travelling in a city we didn’t know. I will say for a while we did wonder if she was bulimic as she was binge eating and lost so much weight. She went down about 2 sizes so her clothes were obviously not fitting. We kept an eye on her and saw she wasn’t doing anything concerning so stopped worrying so much. Just like your parents our mum is a nurse so unless it’s obviously urgent and bad we don’t bother about it. Mum felt so bad about not noticing it as when we got her to hospital she was very close to going unconscious. Her symptoms were not alarming as we gave it reasons and she looked perfectly fine, so no one is to blame. It’s been 2 years and she’s back to normal minus having to dose/ check blood. It’s actually good for you to keep active!! She goes to dance 5 times a week and the only time we have had a problem is concerts as it’s hard to find a time to eat in a 2/3 hr hectic dance rush aha. At first it’s scary but you’ll get used to it. You’ll probably find your parents and siblings constantly checking on you at first (annoyed her a bit) but it’s just love. Also probs get a lot of questions like “can you eat that” aha you can eat anything but some people don’t quite understand it so be patient and educate them :) Think after 6 months she had it built into her routine. I remember having to always weigh and portion the food at first to understand dosing easier but after a bit you begin to know your portions and how much to dose off by heart. Sending you heaps of love ❤️ ❤️

[@amandakofoed4799]

My friend who is currently 9 years old got diagnosed with diabetes when she was 8 years old on her 8th birthday. Her blood sugar was in the 500s which was very dangerous. She almost went into a diabetic coma. I was crying for hours when I found out that she was rushed to the hospital. She is doing great now and she has been doing gymnastics for years and is still doing it now. I love how you learned so easily and are doing great. I love how I can learn about diabetes symptoms to make sure I don't have it. Great job explaining your experience.

I was diagnosed 1/18/1985 just after my 17th birthday. Very similar story as yours. Sick...tired...insatiable thirst (waking up with a parched dry mouth), pee-ing every 15-minutes around the clock with a bursting full bladder. I was an honors student, and had to ask teachers 4 times in each class period to leave to go to the bathroom. Had I not been a good student, I can only imagine how that would have looked. My blood sugar was "pegged" at 2,000. Things were much different back then. The hospital equipment didn't register blood sugar higher than that, so that was my official glucose level at diagnosis. Spent a week in the hospital, IVs in both arms, tearing up an orange before giving myself my first shot. Pumps were not commercially available then, CGMS were almost 2-decades away from being available - and the first ones were crap and not covered under most insurance plans. Only Pork and Beef insulins. Technology is so much better now. Interestingly enough, in 2015 my 6-yr old black lab mix boy Charlie also developed T1 diabetes. He always OCD drank water. If there was water in his bowl, he drank it empty, since he was a baby. He was always healthy. But he got really sick. Took him to the vet. She called back saying that our boy had T1 diabetes, and we had to come in to learn how to manage it. I laughed, telling the vet that I had T1 longer than she was alive, and knew all about it. I calculated his correction ratio (ended up being the same as mine!) I'm a statistician for a living, so I used linear regression to create a formula for him, so we could calculate his canine glucose levels using human test strips. Canine test strips are $1.75 each. Human test strips (the cheap Walmart brand) are 8-cents each. I did a sample of 50 canine blood on canine strips & canine meter, versus the same drop of canine blood on a human strip in a human meter. Not perfect, but what is better? Testing only a few times a week due to the expense of the strips, or testing as often as you want and being "somewhat accurate" by using human test strips for canine blood? He lived 3 years with T1, before lung cancer took him. Loved that big boy!

[@mandy7294]

As someone with several chronic illnesses, it is so important to look past the point that someone "looks fine." On some of my worst days, you'd never look at me and think that I'm sick.

This will inspire alot of people with unexplained symptoms to go and get checked out. ❤ All the best to you and can't wait to continue to follow your journey.

My girl was starting to hide water bottles and wetting the bed again, she was so thirsty all the time. She would out eat us as adults and still want more. Broke our hearts as we learned her body was literally starving. Gosh the mom guilt is so hard. Every symptom can be explained away. I wish I could share my girls picture collage to you for her diagnosis time line. Its a struggle all of us MODs talk about on T1D MOD squad. Its so hard. Give yourselves some grace💙💙💙💙 our girl was not in full blown DKA but was soooooo close. We got lucky. Its a lot of information to take in and the first year is crazy.

Also remember that type1 is one of those things that cant be prevented and we are not taught about those signs and symptoms when we become parents💙 test one drop is something I firmly stand behind. So many kiddos are diagnosed when its brushed off as another illness like flu or strep, even uti's like I thought at first with my girl. We just dont know until we are facing it head on.

I’m so thankful that you were able to get a diagnosis. Prayers for you Rylee.

[@amandam3229]

Hi Rylee from Australia. My son Josh is 14 now he became a Type1 Diabetic at 9 years old. Your so brave and amazing! We definitely need too create more awareness for Type1.

[@seraiahdoyle8741]

It was so cool seeing your guys mama in a video! I'm so glad your doing better Rylee!

[@delindasowder9120]

Praise God you all figured it out !! So glad you are ok honey, you sweet thing. (I’m a Mom too and I get how your Mom feels - it’s so hard sometimes)

[@ashleyemory5066]

I am so happy to hear you are feeling like yourself again! Stay strong Rylee! You will be able to do everything you have always been able to athletic wise. Look up Mark Andrews... He is a professional football player with T1 and he is out there on the sideline every game checking his levels and all. He is a great example of being able to keep following your dreams with Diabetes!

[@littletailorthrift8700]

Both my parents are in the medical profession so the thing about how hard it is getting your parents to believe you when your hurt or sick was something I entirely relate too girl haha

[@melissar.3720]

Oh my gosh Mom guilt ... I watched ALL of Riley’s type 1 videos, my 13 year old was going through the same thing to the tee and we just got tested today 😑 I totally thought it was teenage boy drama lol ! Thanks for being open 💕

[@KaylaDS14]

Hi Rylee! I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (lupus) at 20 years old. I can totally relate with how you felt after getting diagnosed. It’s so random and shocking. I also wasn’t acting myself in the weeks leading up to the diagnosis, all I wanted to do was sleep and people thought I was being lazy. You will only get stronger from this trust me! 💗

[@avffff]

Omg I am so glad you are doing better! My brother for diagnosis with T1 in October of 2020 so all the synonyms my family and I (him also) noticed sound exactly the same! My jaw dropped when you said your numbers were at 1,000! My brothers number was at 500! So happy you are doing better❤️ Also if you like Mentos the fruit ones are a good alternatives to glucose tablets! My brother likes the Mentos instead!

[@naomifrances7420]

I’m glad you found the course Sending prayers 🥰♥️🙏

[@vivianvillalva2408]

Sending much love your way, Rylee! You're such a mature young lady.

[@Toematetoe95]

I love how informative mama is

[@lindarumbelow3166]

I'm also a Type 1 diabetic and I think the online community is so strong because most of us don't know anyone in our real lives who have Type 1. It's very uncommon but there are tons of us online! We can talk and give each other support and advice. Welcome to the club! Make sure to check out the products from Myabetic. They have lots of super cute bags and purses made specifically for carrying diabetic supplies!

[@eilishiwish4134]

glad Rylee is doing better... I am amazed at what long fingers she has!

[@abbyy.goodwin]

so proud of rylee! ily guys

[@annachill7552]

Mom guilt sucks. I thought my son’s “hot belly” was school anxiety for a while but it was celiac, I feel mean saying this, but I also would feel bad not😬 If you have Type 1, you should be screened for celiac as well.

[@jessicavandervelde3067]

The exact same thing happened here, my mom thought my brother was struggling with anxiety but it turned out to be celiac. Please don't beat yourself up for it

[@Mary-ir8ct]

The exact same thing happened to me! I struggle severely with anxiety still to this day and was diagnosed with celiac in 2005

[@samantha7576]

Same thing sorta happened to me. I’ve been occasionally fainting a few times per year, but decided enough was enough and I ended up being diagnosed severely anemic, with severe iron and vitamin d deficiency, and you guessed it. Celiacs disease😕

[@MommaAtPlay]

Yep celiac goes hand in hand with type 1 and other autoimmune stuff. My girls is screened every year and we watch closely.

[@lee-heedayan]

I have celiac!!

[@vanessachavez8161]
