Wow! You really …
Wow! You really know how to give injections. Well, I don’t have diabetes so I’m learning how to inject my father in law since he lives with me. I never learned how but I’m learning. Your video really helped.
there are two types …
there are two types of DM it is type 1 and type 2 type 1 is more severe it is hereditary on the other hand type 2 is mild which the book says that you can get it when you reach the age of 40+ but my clinical instructor told me that you can have diabetes type 2 as early as age 30+ because of the lifestyle.. so exercise and proper diet helps a lot to prevent type 2 DM…
there is no answer …
there is no answer to that… it can be by heredity, but it can also be a sudden change. like me, my family has NO HISTORY of type 1 diabetes, except for me. i am the first one. i hope that helps…
im sorry to ask …
im sorry to ask this if it offends you im sorry but how do you get diabetes?? hereditary?
Was diagnosed with …
Was diagnosed with a Type 1 diabete back in October 2007. I am 16 now and injecting myself insulin 3 times a day.
It sucks, but at the same time it’s not that big of deal (at least at my eyes). Injecting became such a natural thing now, that I don’t even remember my life before my diagnosis.
By the way, you’re pretty good looking

U know I would love to hear from diabetics whom take care of theirselves=keep themselves alive but who still live life. Living in the rockstar world but no health insurance. How does one ever become controlled when they are their own doctor?

R u going to go on …
R u going to go on a pump any time soon? I am on multiple daily injections right now but my doc said that in august i can go on either the omnipod or the medtronic. Great vids!
In reality, if you …
In reality, if you want the best BG control, you won’t use a set insulin regimen. It will vary from day to day depending on diet and activity, and general health.
Every diabetic should bolus fast acting insulin before every meal to cover the expected carbs, even if you are just grabbing a muffin, you just cover the carbs.
I inject insulin anywhere between 6 and 12 times a day depending on how many times I eat “out of bounds”. I love my food.
Your basal injections can vary as well.
What country do you …
What country do you live in?
We use those numbers aswell, but i thought in the States you used the numbers like 100,200 etc.. Whereas here we use the smaller numbers.
And that’s a good idea about Water polo!
i totally fund out …
i totally fund out i had diabetes by accident, my family was planing a trip to china n while checkin if i had hipititus immune i discovered tht my bg is lyk 16 sumthng.
my sugars r always high too n i thnk itz cus we’r teenagers n wiz all the hormones n stuff…yeah itz pretty hrd to “understnd” our blood sugars.
but aftr playin watr polo every mornin my sugars r becumin more LOW than high which in sum way is a gud thing cus this way u cud just hav snacks to control it.
