Halloween Time : The Candy Problem

 Do you want to hear the most spookiest of the spooky, the most terrifying of the terrifying story ever? Well if not, stop reading and sign off because even if you don't want to, I'm going to tell you any way. It was about two years ago on a dark and stormy night. A little girl who shall remains nameless went to a Halloween party... She could eat all if the candy she wanted. She could have had all of the things and treats and sodas she wanted.... But then, the most terrible thing happened to her...... Can you guess what happened? She became a diabetic at the age of 12 years old... Scary right? And the girl who shall remain nameless. That was me. Any way, that used to be my life. I used to go to my cousins Halloween parties and eat and drink anything that I wanted. But now I can't. But I still can eat candy. Just not the real stuff. You know. The whoppers, jolly ranchers, everlasting gobbstoppers etc. But there is still good candy out there. Thanks to the people who love me so much , there's this thing called sugar free candy. Now don't get so excited. I know like what is that, right? But stuff like this is out there for us. So whenever you wanna go to a party that has candy, especially a Halloween party, do what my mom did. Get a couple of pieces and then give it to your parents. Or just bring you own candy to the party. I would lobe to tell you more, but you're going to have to watch me on YouTube... Tonight go to YouTube and search Sugar Makes Me Sick and watch and subscribe. By guys...✌✌✌✌✌✌ #T1D

It's Okay Now

  So. I know I havent posted in a while... But there has been some things going on that prevented me to getting to it. But if you can just sit tight and listen, I'll tell you all about it. Deal? Okay. So I dont think I have ever told you this,  a couple of months ago, my a1c was 15. that's unreadable and very dangerous. But it wasn't just one time. It was five times in a row. I know you're probably thinking, " Why is your a1c so high that it's unreadable?" But give me a chance to explain will you? It was high because I went through a fase. The next question you probably are thinking about asking is probably, "What phase makes a girl like you want to almost kill yourself?". But that wasn't my intention. I didn't exactly know that was happening.... But the phase was that i didn't feel like it was important for me to take any medicine or check my blood sugar or do any of that important stuff. I thought that diabetes was just a dream and that soon I would wake up. But that was obviously a big mistake. Would you like to know how? Well, I'll tell you.
   It was a mistake because a lot of stuff was happening to me. I was getting very sick and very skinny.... Like very skinny. Then I was warned that if I continued to do wrong, I would be moved into a foster home... And that they would take my mom to jail. And that would probably never see her again. I didn't want that to happen.. So I woke up, realized that it was real... And that I had to save myself... So I did what I was supposed to do. I started checking my blood sugar and being honest about it. I started taking my medicine and being honest about it... Then my next doctors appointment was wonderful.. Now my a1c is 11.8. That's better than it was. But still not quite right. Well now you know it all.... There will be more. But I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.  Bye guys!!!

Am I Sour Or Sweet?

Okay so I think I am in deep trouble. Probably most likely trouble you couldn't even imagined..... I am being accused of stealing. FOOD! I am being accused of stealing food . My mom cooked some chicken the other night and she told me to put the stuff up. So I did , then I went to bed. Then yesterday, when we got back form church, she asked me if I could give it to her. SO I went to go look in the fridge I could not find it anywhere. Anyway long story short, she thinks I took it. But I'm innocent I tell you! INNOCENT! But  even if I did take it, why could I lie? So i ask you to vote. Do you think I am a sour crook, or a sweet angel?

Hello world of Sugar Makes Me Sick!!!!
  Stacey here. So let me tell you about my fourth doctor. Now Before I get started,m you might be wondering 'How in the world does someone in the whole world have four doctors'? Well,it's pretty simple. She's not the type of doctor that gives you check ups . She's a type of doctor that helps you with your problem. Her name is Dr.Roberts. She is AMAZING!!! Ihave never said this about anyone before but she is different. HS ekind of understood what I was saying . Even though she isn't dealing with what im dealing with, she said what I was telling her was pretty much what every teen diabetic was telling her. I'm Glad that iI went. Its kind of nice talking to someone outside of family evrey once in a while. Well I'm going to see her Tuesday. Wish me luck.

The Pharmacy Drama

My mother has 5 children. Two of us (the oldest and the youngest) are sick a lot. My baby brother as asthma really bad and of course, sugar makes me sick (LOL).
But what's funny is, every time my mom goes to the pharmacy to pick up our prescriptions, the pharmacy tech already knows who she's coming for!!!!
They know my mother! How embarrassing is that????
We walk into the store and they say, "Picking up for Stacey again?" Who does that?????
I know I need my medicine, but I would rather not have the lady at the desk know my mom when she sees her coming....

Appointment with Dr. V tomorrow. Yikes!!!!
Video entry posted soon. Stacey. #SugarMakesMeSick. Out....

My School PEP RALLY!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Guys!!!! Yesterday was my schools pep rally. For people who don't know what a pep rally is it is for the test we take called I.S.A.T. This was one of the BEST we had of all the pep rallys we have had. But the thing about pep rally this year was that since we have snacks for the pep rally, guess who couldn't have anything this year(in case you don't know who, IT'S ME!!!!!!!!!!!!). But I wasn't the only one who couldn't have anything. Two of the kids at my school couldn't have anything either. My friends Dashena and Brittany. But I know that this is not going to be a forever thing. Just for now. But it feels like FOREVER!!!!OMG!!!!But it's okay. I just know that I am going to be okay.

Best and Worst About T1D

Do you know the worst thing about being a diabetic is? Well I'll tell you. It is NOT GETTING TO EAT WHAT YOU WANT WHEN YOU WANT IT !!!!!!! Before I was diagnosed with T1D, I ate my favorite chips, Flamin' Hots and my favorite candy, watermelon Now & Laters. I know it wasn't the best diet, but I enjoyed them. Now, I can't even have them at all! But I know I will be able to have them again.. One day :(
But there are some good things about having T1D too. The best thing about it is that you can have your own personal food and snacks. After I had got diagnosed with diabetes, I thought to myself, there is no such thing as sugar free candy, chocolate, or drinks for me. What kind of candy is there for me? Well  that's when life as I know it turned around. I found out that there were things for me. To people with Type 1 Diabetes, there are things that are for us. Sure it's not the real stuff we used to eat, but it's for us. And sugary things are not going to stop us because we are strong and we are going to take the struggle one step at a time. 
I'm going to be posting some sugar-free things that I think are the best and the ones that I think are worst. If you have some that are your favorite, please email them to me at sugarmakesmesick@gmail.com, and I will try them and make a video about them!

Another Doctor....

I'm getting kind of tired of all of these doctor visits. Primary doctor, Endocrinologist (hope I spelled that right), and today the ophthalmologist. She is a doctor that specializes on diabetics. My mom and I were waiting in the waiting room and there were a lot of people there that are waaay older than both of us. LOL!
But the doctor was really nice and we weren't there long.

When I got home, I was feeling real bad, tho. My level were in the 500s so my mom had to call Dr V (my endocrinologist). I had to check for ketones (eeww!) and take a few correction doses. Then she checked it at 3 this morning and it was 55!!! What in the world??!!
I'm feeling a little better today so I'm on my way to school. I CANNOT miss another Spanish class.

One of my Sundays...

Hey guys :)
I made a few videos of my Sunday. I'm a praise dancer at my church, Spreading the Word Worship Center in Chicago. I had a sausage McMuffin from McDonald's for breakfast, so my blood sugar was high. It has been high a lot lately, even when I don't have good food (lol). I hope it gets better. 
The other dancer in the video is my cousin Tomia. We dance together every week.

I hope you like my videos. If you have any questions about me or my life, and want me to answer them in a video on my blog, email me at sugarmakesmesick@gmail.com.
Tomorrow, I'm going to see my opthamologist about my eyes. I've never been, so I'll have a video of my visit. Talk to you soon :)

Hello All!!!

Hey everybody! My name is Stacey. 

I'm 13 years old and I have Type 1 Diabetes.

It SUCKS!!!

I was diagnosed at the end of last summer. I check my blood sugar 5 times a day, take insulin and have to watch what I eat. I go see my endocrinologist, Dr. V, every three months, and my mom has to send her my levels every 2 weeks so she can make sure that I'm on track.

I know that this is a serious disease and that I have to watch what I eat and drink. I know that I'm not the only teenager with this problem, but sometimes I feel like I'm all alone. 

So I'll talk to you!

I want you to come and on my journey. I have to lose weight and stay healthy, and so do you. I'm going to upload videos and pics, and take you with me as I go.
Follow me!!!

This is me before I was diagnosed. 

My blood sugar was really high

(like in the 800s!) and I didn't know. 

I slept all the time and had bad stomach aches.

This is me when I was first diagnosed and in the hospital :(

This is me when I was coming home from the hospital :)
