Oops, Now I Dropped the Meter! - Type 1 Diabetes Injection

A 12 year old girl with Type I Diabetes shows you how she checks her blood sugar level and injects herself with insulin. She was diagnosed 6 weeks ago after losing weight rapidly and drinking water all the time.

Between 4 and 6 is the normal range for people without Type 1 diabetes. I think in US you multiply it by...um...18, I think.

We try not to think of any level as being good or bad..just whatever it is...then we use that to bring it as close to normal as possible by eating, insulin or exercise, whatever is needed at the time. It's a daily challenge with teenage hormones racing around to keep blood glucose levels even.

when i was diagonosed i never used a syringe just the pens



[shariko2007]

@diabetessuxx - she uses pens now...that video was 2 1/2 years ago. Pens are much easier.

So very brave, an inspiration, I'm being tested for diabetes as my level on last blood test was a little high, level was 8.0, hospital said that was high and I had not eaten anything since 9pm the previous night.
