High blood sugar happens when there is too much glucose in your blood. Everyone is different but you might feel: tired, confused, thirsty– or that you have to go to the bathroom all the time!
Low blood sugar happens when there is not enough glucose in your blood. Everyone is different but you might feel: shaky, sweaty, weak, confused, nauseous, or even super hungry!
CGMs or Continuous glucose monitors- sit under your skin and check your blood sugar 24/7!
Insulin pumps– instead of taking shots insulin pumps give small amounts of insulin throughout the day!
If you are being teased or bullied for having Type 1 diabetes– know that you are not alone and there are ways to make it STOP.
