Type 1 Girl 💙

I was diagnosed in 2019 at the age of 25 and it was the scariest moment of my life, Twitter was a huge help for me because I felt that I had no one to turn to, so I’m here today to support someone who may need a someone like I did 💙 #type1diabetes

Nothing more frustrating than going to a bar and asking for a diet or slim line mixer and them giving you full fat!! I ask for a reason and them dismissing it really drives me mad! One person even said to me ‘there’s nothing of you, you don’t need to drink diet lemonade’ 😌😤

Having an absolute nightmare! I have only gone and fractured 3 ribs! Doctors were worried about my kidney and lungs but CT scan showed they were okay so I am definitely lucky! I am definitely the clumsiest person I know 😭

Massive thank you to everyone who wished me well when I said about having covid! Finally starting to feel nearly 100% just the breathlessness and getting my smell back to tackle now! Covid sucks, but so grateful for the jab! Can’t imagine how I would have been if I hadn’t of it!

@alperhulusi Thank you so much!

@type1girl2 hydrate, get an 02 meter, eat well and isolate. Best of luck

After avoiding it this whole time, I’ve tested positive for covid. I can’t even describe how poorly I am feeling, never felt like this in my life 😢 any advice?

@MichaelaRae1996 I’ve been developing a new symptoms every day since my first symptom start. I’ve now lost my taste! I’m so sad as I love my food 🥺 thinking of you too!! X

@type1girl2 Feeling better every day, most of mine has presented as terrible allergies I’d like a head cold (lots of sinus pressure and some congestion). got my meds picked up today along with that infusion & hopefully I’ll be back to normal soon. Sending prayers your way, feel better soon!

@MichaelaRae1996 Thank you so much for all of this information, it’s really helpful! Bless you, I hope you’re feeling okay too! Take care x

@type1girl2 Take D3 and zinc and vitC (if you can). Alternate Tylenol and ibuprofen, take mucinex or robitussin. Stay hydrated, lots of rest. Melatonin if you need help sleeping (it’s also an anti-inflammatory) I’m on day 7 and just got the antibody infusion.

@isabelladegen Thank you Isabella 💙

@type1girl2 Oh I’m sorry to hear. Unfortunately no advice from me but I do wish you a speedy recovery 💙

@BrentCoC99 Thank you for this advice, hopefully I’ll start feel better soon 🤞🏽

@type1girl2 I’m a T1D, zinc, vitamin D, quercetin made the difference honestly. Taking those alone changed how I felt within 12 hours. Hope all is well.

@Andy06593781 Thank you for this advice! Hopefully I’ll be feeling better soon!

@tisshe Thank you so much! Will definitely try the ginger-lemon tea 💙

@type1girl2 I'm so sorry to hear you are sick with Covid. Take it easy and make sure to drink lots of fluids. Hopefully the worst of it won't last too long. When I get sick I usually up my basal 10-15% as my sugars run high. Other than that, I find ginger-lemon tea soothing for coughs.

@YOGA_O Thanks Mike, I will see if I can get some ordered online definitely!

@type1girl2 If you haven't already, add some vitamin D3 into your daily routine. Helps your immune system.

@Moodwife Thank you Dawnie! Hopefully I’ll start to feel better soon 💙

@type1girl2 I was on 4x more insulin with #AndroidAPS for a number of days. Knew I was coming out the other side when rates dropped to double, then slowly back to normal rates. Take plenty of water to keep you hydrated, paracetamol & ibuprofen for the aches and the temps and get well soon 💙

@megan_j @thesweetken Thank you so much for this I’ll have a look now! 💙

@type1girl2 Sorry to hear! Rest, hydrate, check glucose often, correct every 4hrs (but not too aggressive if dealing with nausea), if resistant-up your doses @thesweetken has a few posts on IG, start here: instagram.com/p/CG8CtrShMU0/… & the post after has a few more sick day tips 💙💙💙

@Karateka Yeah got a bad cough, temperature through the roof, aches and pains all over, pressure behind my eyes, breathlessness. I’m having a call with my diabetic team today so they’ll advise me what to do about insulin 🤞🏽

@Tazzy_devil777 Thank you Tamsin x

@type1girl2 Sorry to hear this as others have said rest, keep hydrated, check ketones. If you're on a SGLT2 stop taking it until you are better. Keep in touch with your DSN team for advice. Hope you're feeling better soon

@teddyforsure Thank you very much! Hoping I start to feel better soon!

@type1girl2 Good luck. Try keep levels in check. It seems to be Donald duck how it effects every person. Speedy recovery

@Lolzels That’s what mine is too! Bloods are sky high and don’t want to come down regardless of what I do! Thank you very much!

@type1girl2 Rest as much as possible & keep really hydrated. My levels were running constant high so had to really up my doses. Hope it passes quickly for you 🤞🏻

@type1tony Thank you so much Tony! Hoping it can only get better X
