Maddie Nielsen

Hello everyone! I'm Maddie! I've been living with Type 1 Diabetes since July 22, 2018. As of July 2021, I am a licensed Registered Dental Hygienist! In my free time, I love to read, be outdoors, create artwork, and spend time with my family and friends (and of course my pets!) 😉

I created this channel to inspire others to live their best life despite living with an autoimmune disease like Type 1 Diabetes. I am creating videos that include content ranging from managing T1D...to other fun and interesting aspects of my life such as my college experience plus more!

If you made it this far, thanks for taking the time to read my "About" section! Please feel free to subscribe and follow me on all my social links listed below and in the description boxes of my videos! 😊

    I personally thought that it were the Type 2s that said “--betus” but I guess like others have said it was a generational thing

    I heard that type 2's Pancreas will eventually burnout their own Insulin production if not taken care of and eventually need Insulin. Have I got that right??

    My guy friend who is a Type 2 told me very ignorantly that liquids don’t have carbs. I know that was so darn wrong. Also when he was told to take insulin he thought that he shouldn’t be taking it because he thought that that’s what could cause kidney failure. I think he was getting that mixed up with the Farxiga commercial because the first sentence in that commercial says chronic kidney disease. I told this friend that “no, Insulin is something that human bodies make and need and that with diabetes of 1 & 2 it needs to be injected.

  • @catsmeow5566

    Thank you for this video. My mother recently got the pump and its about time to change the canula (the cartridge still has enough insulin). The little zip bag for stuff is a great idea. That will make keeping things organized much easier. Do you have one that explains how to remove the old canula and stuff? I suppose I can find that in another video. I think it seems straightforward but I'm worried about doing it wrong and since its' a weekend the doctor's office is currently closed. The Nurse Practitioner (NP) who specializes in diabetes care is the one who set the pump up for us and put everything on. I'm my mother's caregiver and she relies on me to change out her dexcom sensors (which we've had for a couple of months now) and she will want me to help her with this as well. The NP actually showed a trick with drawing the insulin where you fill the syringe with air first and then push the air into the vial (while holding the vial upsidedown like you did) and the syringe will then fill with insulin by itself, except for the last few bits that you need to draw down. This may be a dumb question, but say its been a few days and I want to change the cartridge but there is still a good amount of insulin in it (because the NP filled it to max): Can I remove the cartridge and draw the insulin out of it to put it in a new cartridge? Or should I just keep using that particular cartridge until the pump tells me its time to change it?

    Hello. Just started on tandem Pump. Ordered the stainless steel since worked better on my old Medtronic. Had too many kinked cannulas with the plastic ones. Do these work to eliminate the problem since the cannula is longer. Things I don’t like about the stainless are the two pieces stuck to me with the tubing in between and the tabs that stick up.

    I was diagnosed 1/18/1985, just after my 17th birthday. Had my 39th diaversary in 2024. Lots of tech changes during that time. No pumps back then (they weren't covered by insurance) and CGMs didn't exist. Needles were much larger than the nice 32-gauge ones now. Only pork or beef insulin. I swear I sound like an old guy saying "back in my days....." The worst part for me was it made an appointment at the Air Force Academy an impossibility. My father was in the USAF for 22 years, and I had dreamed my whole life of going the the Academy to learn to fly jets. Then right around the time you begin to apply for it, I got it yanked out from underneath me. There are worse conditions. And yes, at least T1 is treatable. I am very highly impacted by high blood sugars. They make me feel like crap, so I tend to run lower a lot - which is certainly not ideal. I hope you are doing well 5 years later!

    Great, Maddie! Very informative. I just got my TB skin test yesterday and am having it read tomorrow. I thought I had remembered something about it being a raised bump regardless of whether or not you were positive, and positivity being a matter of bump diameter. However, mine is completely flat and, like yours, dissipated within about an hour of being injected. Now I know that means I'm negative. Thanks a bunch!
