ITS WORLD DIABETES DAY!!!! This is a short film on life with Type 1 Diabetes. Yes, it is 20 minutes long. Yes, you have time for it. T1D is something I NEVER get a break from. Not one second since my diagnosis. Also, here are some things that were different in my experience: -No nurse in school, usually I just toughed it out through highs and lows and got right back to work... Thats not as easy anymore. -I never used to test my BG before tests or randomly throughout the day, now I test all the time. -Testing in the middle of the night is something I wish I had the discipline for, because God knows I would benefit from it. -I spent three-ish or more days in the hospital when I was diagnosed. Luckily, I did not have ketoacidosis, but generally it is important that your doctor makes sure your insulin regime is effective for you before you leave, because it is pretty impossible to have ANY idea of the type of insulin dosages you should be taking without a good starting point and careful monitoring. -I have almost exclusively controlled my diabetes since diagnosis. Yes, my wonderful mother- Carissa Troia- has helped me countless times, but doctors are pretty useless and I trust my math more than anyone else. Plus, I know how my body reacts better than they do. Anyways, THANK YOU FOR WATCHING! Also, thank you Sarah Troia for being there for me with the nighttime lows all while we were growing up.
