good morning guys today is World
Diabetes Awareness Day and to help
celebrate that and create awareness
we've partnered with our friends at
gluco to do a day in the life of a
diabetic
big steel look
hey good morning Aspen how are you doing
this morning hey uh let's check your BG
okay okay see you a second aspen has to
have a bag with her all the time it has
all of her diabetes supplies it's got a
special supplies in case she goes low
it's got backup supplies in case her
pump doesn't work for some reason if it
stops working she still has to be able
to get insulin or else she can go
dangerously high okay so here's how
Aspen checks her BG she puts the test
strip into the omni pod PDM which also
doubles as a glucose tester so she uses
an alcohol swab or she has to wash your
hands because if there's any sugar on
her fingers it can mess up the reading
she takes that she wiped away the first
job and now she's getting a reading and
it takes about four or five seconds and
there you see her numbers 182 so a spit
what is in range for you
7250 so you're just a little bit out of
range so it's gonna want to do a
correction what else is it gonna ask you
and get a click away eat now
next are you oh yeah and then what are
you gonna have a bowl of cereal okay so
let's look on there and see how many
carbs it is is 525 the milk is 12 grams
of carbs you want a cup of milk what you
on that much you read a cup no high like
at Oh half a cup okay good catch so how
many carbs would that be instead of 12
we have half it'll be six so 25 plus 6
so as you can see there's lots of math
throughout the day that's right this is
a relatively simple meal but there's
still a lot of math that has to be done
okay so now given the carbs it's gonna
give her 3.4 units and I found her pump
is doing it
okay so this is now putting the insulin
into her that's their omni pod and when
it's done it'll beep - 15 minutes today
good question so every time she takes
insulin it takes a while for the insulin
to kick in in her body about 15 minutes
and so she know just 15 days at 50 I was
like what the heck after 50 minutes so
after she waits 15 minutes then she can
eat the food so you need to set a timer
please so I can eat soon Siri start a 15
minute timer oh she did it there you go
counting down all right so now I'm about
to leave with the kids to go school with
the other kids
Aspen stays here with Amy and Eli in
home schools and so hey Aspen you've got
about one minute left and then you can
eat okay all right go ahead and eat
breakfast yep you need what one cup of
cereal and half a cup of milk cereal
okay yeah yeah three and then we got to
half a cup of milk
there we go all right now you have to
finish everything in a bowl right all
right I got to go to school love yes you
have to go to school well take the kids
to school I got you to work
love you bye I have you Jim hi see you
later hey guys I'm Amy from the Dale
tribe if you do not know what type 1
diabetes is it's basically an autoimmune
disease in which your immune system is
doing its job and getting rid of bad
guys and then it gets a little
overzealous and attacks your pancreas
and destroys the part of your pancreas
that produces insulin and when it does
that you will then have to give yourself
insulin externally either through shots
some people use what are called pins so
you will use syringes some people use
insulin pumps and there's lots of
different kinds of insulin pumps but one
way or another you'll have to get
insulin in your body on a consistent
basis because your body's no longer
producing it the reason insulin is
important is because insulin regulates
sugar in your body so if you eat not
even just sugar like not even just candy
but if you bread there's a lot of carbs
in that and it kind of turns into sugar
in your blood and your body needs
insulin to help process that so happens
in a type one diabetic is their blood
sugar will slowly just start or not so
slowly just start to rise and so it will
start to get higher and higher and
higher and higher which can make them
really really sick and can cause what's
called DKA which is where their body
just basically starts shutting down so
we wanted to show you what the
day-to-day life of living with this
disease is Aspen has an insulin pump she
has an omni pod insulin pump she also
has another device which is a Dexcom and
that is a continuous glucose monitor so
what that does is that enables us to see
her blood sugar like almost all the time
we can't treat off of that so if we're
going to give her a big bolus of insulin
we need to actually do a finger prick to
make sure that it's accurate but the
Dexcom is fantastic because it'll give
us an idea of what her blood sugar is at
the moment and where it's headed so
today happens to be a day where we have
to change both of them as well as things
are needs to a point this is to put the
Dexcom on this is the omni pod insulin
pump she's chosen today we have a little
parrot on it it's very cute
the other thing we have in here is we
have blind bags and so we just try to
make it a little bit easier you know on
her and just give her a little reward
for being simply I'm gonna sing this day
because I have an open easel
okay so now Aspen's going to deactivate
her things her jacks calm yeah you can
activate both so she's going to
deactivate them so that patient they're
ready to take off stops since they're
absent okay so there we go they're both
being deactivated
we're hearing some beeps so now what we
can do is we can take the yunusov and we
can start getting them off okay so let's
see this see a little thing sticking out
right there that's the little bit that
goes into her under her skin and then it
keeps track of how her blood Sugar's
doing now we will see her insulin pump
being taken off your arm getting tired
of holding up yeah yeah yeah there we go
so you see that little thing sticking
out that little looks like a little tiny
straw poking out that's called the
cannula and that is the bit that goes
into Aspen's skin and shoots in insulin
when she needs it we're going to start
with Dexcom which is the continuous
glucose monitor you probably wanted
about hiroshima all right here's the
applicator for the Ducks calm so we're
just going to start by taking off the
peel and then we'll find the spot where
the sticky is put it right on there and
then you just smooth it down from the
inside so it doesn't have like weird
wrinkles in it okay then we're going to
take this little protector thing off
okay are you ready okay
so then we'll push this one in and then
pull this one back and that's it
oh can we take this what the heck I
didn't feel anything really that's
awesome this is the actual sensor that
will take the information from here and
put it into the little thing or your
phone or wherever it's going so we're
just going to clean this and then we're
going to put it right on here
and then you're just gonna use this
little thing and go nope you can take
this ah
oh there it is the finalize the video
status is a Romney part each little
omniquad comes with a little syringe and
needle so now the first thing it tells
you to do is to fill the pot with
insulin that's pretty important you
wouldn't want to put an empty pot on you
so now we're gonna get the air bubbles
out yeah okay so now a little hole right
here in a spot right there where you
stick the syringe in and then you just
fill it up you'll hear two beeps and
there you go that means yay yes I'm
still in there
and then you're going to dispose of your
needle in a sharps container then the
next thing you're going to do is you're
going to hit next on here
and it is going to prime the pot so here
it kind of clicking gonna tack on there
make it nice and sticky and now we'll
stick it on here
I'll do the same thing where we kind of
smooth out this stuff but adhesive
backing so it doesn't get any weird
wrinkles in it and then on this one what
we do is we get to this point we say
okay and then it says start and starts
what it will get the cannula in so Aspen
gets to push that herself I squeeze it
up get it ready and she gets to push it
so that big click was the cannula going
in okay oh it matches your shirt nicely
awesome draw Bassman then here's the
mess at the end yep and now I used to
clean up okay I said what are you doing
that we have a tradition when we put
anything in this jar so we need to drop
it in put the lid on of course and then
we have two nice sharps dance
okay so Aspen got hungry for a snack
before we start homeschooling so she's
gonna do a finger prick and see where
she's at
she wants to have some yogurt
yummy yummy okay just a good snack that
she loves to have a lot and it says on
here that it expects 26 carbs and 259 so
let's do it correctly and giving
sunfriend it okay so now we're taking a
break from home school and Aspen's gonna
go jump on the trampoline so we'll set a
temp basil if she's gonna do something
really active like jump on the
trampoline or ride her bike or something
like that we'll do a temp basil which
means we can like decrease the amount of
insulin that's going into her body so
that she doesn't go low because we don't
want her to get too much insulin a lot
of things can affect blood sugar
exercise what you eat take hormones
excitements sickness all kinds of other
things too I'm sure that I forgot but
I don't think singing cash lay back oh
okay so Aspen for lunch today is having
bears and cheese stick pizza so she's
having some blackberries and raspberries
mixed together and a cup of those is
about about 14 14 15 carbs something
like that so she's going to put those in
and have it come through mm-hmm
and then a cheese stick Pizza is
basically zero carb so we just take
these and we melt them and we put some
pepperonis with it on a plate and it's
kind of like a crustless pizza check
your blood sugar and make sure that you
don't need a correction that kind of
stuff okay 208 still running a little
high so we're gonna correct and we're
gonna correct and we're gonna tell it
how much carbs you're having and you're
just having 15 carbs that's 99 cents is
a bunch of oh yeah do that
that sounds good see you guys this is
the cheese stick Pizza yeah hahaha
surprise surprise surprise
oh and she's so dancer sit sided about
this pizza alright so lunch is done and
now we can go on about our date so guys
we could Curitiba dinner for the family
and the clan is over here enjoying it
Aspen though not a big curry fan so she
asked if she could have yogurt for
dinner how many carbs is it 90 all right
let's do it finger prick 165 you're
basically in range well done yeah all
right so tell her how many carbs you're
having 19 all right it's bedtime and I
feel shaky that's it feels a little
shaky so she's gonna take some shaky
shake she's gonna take her BG again
check it out see where we're at
I've been crazy yeah Daisy I am 93 9x
Arabic hard car pika is she's going to
bed and she's a little bit lower than we
want her then we'll give her insulin and
a hard carb and then she'll have a
little bit more boost to keep her up
overnight or if she has a low when she
has a low which she didn't have today at
all so we didn't get to show you that
but she has a low we give her 15
fast-acting carbs I'm candy that's about
15 carbs or some juice or something like
that and then we wait 15 minutes and we
check her again and as long as she's in
range the second time we check her she's
not in range the second time you check
her than you give her candy or juice
again she is in range then you give her
a hard carb so guys one of the things
that we have to do as Aspen's parents is
we have to look at her blood sugar
numbers and make decisions about
adjustments to her treatment and we're
able to do that because we use glucose
and glucose our sponsor for the episode
today glucose great because it takes the
data from her PDM which gets finger
pricks and keeps track of how much
insulin that she's dosed and it also
takes the data from her Dex come via her
phone and it takes it all and puts it in
one place and so the Dex come data gets
automatically pulled over by the Apple
health app it synchronizes everything
and then the data from Melanie pod we
actually have to sync and so I'll show
you how we do that we plug in her Omni
part into the computer and then we log
into gluco and i'm able to click on this
sync only pod button and then i click on
the upload button and i pick the file so
now it's successfully uploaded and I can
click on View data and now what's great
is I'm able to go in to the primary one
I use is this BG graphs and this is
going to show a scatter graph of the
last 30 days now we made some big
changes to her dosage a couple of weeks
ago so I can look at this two-week graph
and you'll see that for the last two
weeks she has been a little bit high
overnight and then pretty much in range
through the day and then seems to be
spiking with
dinner and then going back into range
except for right late at night she seems
to be bumping back up and so I can
compare that to the two weeks before and
you'll see that before she was high a
bunch and then in range for a little bit
and in high again and what's great is I
can take this information and I can
click here on create report and I will
create this report and it's going to
generate a PDF file that I can share
with her endocrinologist and so I can
email this to them and then we can have
a conversation with them about her
dosing and we're looking at exactly the
same information they have all these
same graphs at the end of the report it
shows all the settings that she
currently has what her basal rates are
what her bolus settings are and so it
makes sure that we're on exactly the
same page when we're talking with her a
medical team about making changes so we
love the gluco app for a number of
reasons first of all it syncs all the
data from the different places so
instead of looking at one report for her
finger pricks and another report for how
much how many carbs she's had and
another report for her CGM another
report for her dosing all of that is in
together in one place where we can look
at it and see exactly how it's impacting
her her blood sugar levels and the other
thing that we love about it is that
we're able to share this data with her
doctors another thing that's really nice
about the gluco app on the iPhone is
that you can actually set reminders on
there so you can set a reminder if you
want to do something at the same time
every day and then you can also track
additional events inside the apps you
can go in and put notes you can put
meals all of that kind of stuff so it
gives you one central place to have all
the data and that's one of the things
that can be really overwhelming when
you're dealing with managing type 1
diabetes is just the number of different
pieces of information and so to get them
all in one place be able to look at them
on graphs really kind of wrap our heads
around it and make sense of it and is
really really super helpful gluco is
actually free for omni pod users so if
you're an omni pod user just check with
your doctor and they can
tell you how to get connected okay guys
it's midnight and I'm just checking
Aspen's BG on here it looks like she's
gonna be good for the night before we
had Dexcom or if for some reason Dexcom
isn't reading then we would go and do a
finger prick in the middle of the night
so there's a lot of up at night a lot of
headlamps come in useful kind of times
so I hope you guys enjoyed this look at
what it's like to live with type 1
diabetes and I hope it gave you a little
bit of insight into our lives
I'm sorry jacksepticeye just came in my
brain and I was gonna say punch that
like button in the face like a boss ok
I'm gonna try again so thanks again to
gluco for sponsoring this video
we hope you enjoyed this look into our
lives and what it's like to live with
type 1 diabetes if you liked this video
