Diabetic Alert Dog For Julia

Diabetic Alert Dog For Julia Hello there, my name is Julia I'm 26 and recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, Feb 2017. One day I hope to get a DAD. This disease is expensive!

Blogging to share my experiences and life with others to help me and you. Up until February 23rd I was working on joining the air force, but it seems like the universe had different plans for me. I went to the hospital thinking that maybe the hair loss, dizziness, and nausea was all related to a thyroid disorder. After waiting several hours for the results, the doctor walks in and says with a smile on his face, "Bet you didn't know you were diabetic?" Like most of us, we are unaware of what diabetes is and that there are different types. If I were type 2 I had a chance to get it under control and possibly still join the military. But unfortunately it's type 1 and with that comes all the difficulties. As most of us do after being diagnosed, we struggle with depression and finding our place in this world. Without the military I was a little lost on what to do with my life, so in an effort to figure things out I researched. I found the cost of a service dog to be outrageous. I knew I wanted to work with animals since I was a little girl, but I never knew it would end up like this. Taking my love for animals and the ridiculous cost into consideration I've decided to take these as a sign. In an effort to make things easier on families in the future I want to train service animals and only charge the cost of the dog. I believe a family in need shouldn't have to struggle to get something their child needs. My goal starts with obtaining my own service dog. Any money received goes towards me achieving my goal and helping other families and young adults like me get something they need. Thank you for taking the time to read this, hope you all have a great day 😁

lysine, zinc and vit c supplements are showing beneficial for diabetics, type one and two

also, getting these nutrients from food is very important

working on that

Lysine and arginine are essential amino acids that your body can’t produce on its own. That's why adding lysine from foods is important for a balanced diet. Here’s a comprehensive list of lysine-rich foods, both plant-based and animal-based sources, emphasizing ones that are also lower in argini...

People with type 1 diabetes need lifelong treatments of daily insulin injections to manage their condition that still leave them at risk of long-term complications. Immunotherapy could one day become an insulin-free alternative to stop, prevent, and potentially cure this chronic disease. Type 1 diab...

Save a life...wash your hands! Diabetics can lose their lives from the flu more so than covid 19, as everyone is practicing social distancing and staying home, sick or not! But the flu comes around every year and sadly takes the lives quickly of diabetics. It's called cytokine release syndrome, and it shuts down the body, one organ at a time. So, please practice social distancing every time you get sick. Please keep washing your hands and sanitizing surfaces everywhere you go. Please become a germaphobe for the sake of others🥰

My life between two lines:

The roller-coaster effect is real. Going back and forth from insulin to sugar trying to keep a steady line so that I can be "normal". Looking forward to getting a new insulin pump to control these numbers easier.
Control-IQ by tandem Diabetes with the T-Slim x2 insulin pump is revolutionary. A closed loop system that regulates blood sugar using Dexcom and makes insulin adjustments based off those numbers.
As technology advances faster every year, Big Pharma only takes steps backwards.

While Dr Axe might not be a leading authority in health and wellness, this particular article has some interesting points to research:

Your body can't make l-lysine, so it's important to get enough from the right foods.

A type 1 diabetes (T1D) diagnosis can happen suddenly and unexpectedly. Many times, the disease is identified through symptoms that can appear as a cold or flu. While it represents a big life change, people with T1D can live long, full, happy lives.

In a search for insulin that is cheaper than what I have to pay, and it’s not all good news!

While many other medications have less expensive generic versions, when you have diabetes you may wonder when generic insulin will be available.

Sometimes it’s hard to explain to people that type one is very different than type two. Type two can be regulated with a healthy diet. Type one, healthy or no,
I still must make sure to take my insulin. One day I hope to get my DAD, as this will greatly help out when my sugar levels are getting too high or too low and need assistance. For now, my pod is what helps me regulate everything. It’s still a complete mystery how I developed type one. No one in my family has it. It’s a frustrating process learning how to deal with it.
