I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago,and yes leaving for college was very scary.The best thing to do is to sit and talk with your roomate/hallmates.Explain the disease and ask them to keep an eye you.If they are anything like my freshman year hallmates, they will worry about you more than you worry about you.
Call your parents often with updates. DON”T get lazy with checking your glucose levels, your true friends will wait for you before dinner and going to parties. And please be careful with alcohol.

Wow. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 14 years ago (I am 21 now) and my parents haven’t made me such touching Youtube video like this one. I may have a have a chat with them. LoL. I am glad your son is well because glucose levels that high are extremely dangerous. I give him my best wishes. Thank you for getting the message out about type 1. It means a lot to me for obvious reasons. Please continue what you are doing, its fantastic.

ReginaChick,
I also made the point that Type 1 has nothing to do with the disease attacking anything. It is auto-immune.
Type 1 is the result of the immune system thinking your pancreas and beta cells are invaders.
I mean alot of people think Type 1 is some form of aggressor, thusly creating itself, before it even exists itself.

AllyGirl,
To achieve the best control, you should not be put on a set MDI(Multiple daily injections). Your MDI should change daily depending on healt, activity, carb intake, etc.
You should inject to cover everything you eat, all carbs.
You need to see an edocrinologist, since general practitioners aren’t specialists and they usually get diabetics going on the wrong path.
Take care…

If I may make a …
If I may make a correction.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease.
This means your immune system mistakes a component of your own body as an invader.
Meaning it was the immune system that attacked and killed the beta cells produced by the pancreas.
Type 1 doesn’t attack your immune system at all, type 1 is the end result of your immune system attacking the pancreas, et al.
Might be a responsible move to make that distinction in your video.
And great vid BTW.

I too am a Type 1. Diagnosed Jan 28, 2008 at the age of 34. Type 1 is not just a disease of juveniles. I’m living proof.
For those of you who’ve been dealing with this since their childhood, my heart goes out to you. It’s bad enough dealing with it as an adult.
