WHY don't USE TO İNSULİN PUMP ??

[1HappyDiabetic]

@SUSSTURUCU Relax my friend I use a pump. This is an educational video for those that are newly diagnosed or can't afford 6k or have insurance coverage. Consider yourself lucky. You can see in my other video several pump and cgms overviews as well.

Type 1 or 2 have the same symtoms or both are the same,explain please and thanks for these informatives videos.

type 1 is worse than type 2, type 1 the pancreas is completely unable to make insulin, type 2 is just the pancreas cant keep up or the insulin isnt good enough this is caused by old age or obesity. type 1 and type 2 may have some similarities but type 1 is more serious. Another thing is that type 2 is preventable and can go away. type 1 is thought to be genitic and can never go away unless they find a cure

Well Said!

Type 1 the pancreas produces no insulin. WIth Type 2 diabetes the pancreas can still work but might not produce enough insulin to get sugars down, (it's not as effective anymore) or the body has trouble breaking down food properly to get target blood glucose levels.

It's great that you made these videos. I'm a pharmacy technician and I will definitely recommend looking on youtube if a patient needs help at home.

i'am 14 years old and ive had diabetic for 7 years now and was just wondering how long have u been on the pump and where do u inject it

i have been on the pump for around 3 years and my skin is getting sore so iam going back to the pen for a short while.

@prajna8 your blood is naturally oxygenated... at quite a good amount. if you accidentally put a tiny little bit of air in there its not bad.

Thanks for the info. Just started taking injections myself.

[prajna8]

Are air bubbles in insulin pens really serious? What happens if air bubbles are injected due to oversight or carelessness from an insulin pen? Have you ever injected air bubbles by accident unknowingly?

I am glad your happy Bill, i have been a type one for 33 years and its great to see you so happy and that your doing this video, the best part for me was the fact tha you mentioned having needles which you get so used to having around but people mistake you for a drug addict, great vid, so happy to see you well. Love Shaun

@megryannonotthatone , thanks!

[megryannonotthatone]

well i've been told by one of my nurses once a diabetic always a diabetic...type 2 can certinally be treated and sometimes well enough that it seems to go away...but that person will still need check blood sugar and doctores visis to make sure that the problem doesnt return...its the same with gestational diabetes ( diabetes that occur during pregnatecy) its goes away but the mom is more likely to get type 2 later on in life

[chumbulezco]

Thanks for the info, can type 2 be cure? thanks again!

[megryannonotthatone]

thanks!
