So its nice to watch your videos and see someone that is going through what im going through. Someone i can relate to. Thank you and keep the videos up.

When you talked about being low during the night I thought about the time my type 1 friend was low at like 3 am and went down to the kitchen to grab something to eat, and was so out of it that he took sugar-free glögg (a Swedish drink that is like sweet wine without alcohol kind of..?) and then kept being really frustrated that he didn't rise until his mom heard him swear and came down, could've been dangerous but it's quite funny to think about

Yes, Ellyse, I always lick the blood from my finger and all of those crazy things, too. I use used test strips for toothpicks. I know that is weird, but they work great and I always have one when I need it. I also, when my sugar is low, take out and put back food into the refrigerator, over and over, because I keep changing my mind. I think something that people might find weird is that I save all of my empty insulin bottles. I have a drawer filled with them, but I don’t know why. PS: You can't clean the test strips and use them again. Yes, I have tried that too.
