I am new in the forum, my name is Javier.

Hello, good afternoon:
New in the forum and new as a diabetic,
I have only 10 days, in one analysis on another topic they found me at 495.
Looking online I have found this forum and I have registered to enter and read to learn or ask doubts.
All the best.

Welcome to the forum. Asked the doubts you have, that we will try to help.

Well here we are here to help you in what we can.At another time you tell us your age, what type of diabetes have detected you, what treatment they have put you, etc.
That level such high is usual when the disease is declared, but you will see how you control it immediately with the medication, exercise and diet ... Do not overwhelm and focus your new situation with courage.
A hug.

Hello, my name is Jesús Maria, I have a diabetic son who is also a psychic disabled, which makes it more difficult than to understand why you can eat a things and others not because sugar goes up.I have seen some videos about how to make low -sugar prepared foods.I leave you a link for you to see.My wife has done the test and it seems that it works, that obviously in moderation the blood glucose does not upload much:
Chinese orange jam without sugar

Hello thanks Regina and Miguel.
I have only 11 days and therefore I have a lot of doubt, I am lost, but as I have time on May 28 with the doctor, I am pointing out all the doubts to ask why they explained everything in an hour and there are things in theI already doubt whether or not.
I am 58 years old.
I had been unable to walk 5 months, first with a lotAnd the pain disappeared but still on my way with insecurity, because I notice myself lazy and as if my legs were to fail.
On the last visit of the Rheumatóga, which sent me some analysis, it was when I found the sugar to 495 and I did not visit my legs, he told me that he sent me to the emergency room, I told him that I did not have a lot of work, thanIf another day, seeing that I was not very interested, I call a companion doctor and gave me a visit at the time, even she accompanied me to the plant and entered me in the visitor.
It was when they told me that I was diabetic, the medications prescribed me and they explained how to use them, they also gave me a diet to follow.
Now I take after eating and dinner a 850 mg metformin pill, and before breakfast and before dinner the insulin Novomix -30, dose: 22 - 16
On the diet, very badly, but I don't understand it, I ever happen because I have a lot, and it goes down, other times I follow Rajatabla, and it goes up.
For example, yesterday Sunday a vermout pica (beroberes, mussels, cheese tacos, stuffed olives, fried potatoes, small amount of each, after four gutters and about 80 grams, bread, dessert strawberries, drink came. In the middle of the afternoon a yogurtAnd when I left the sugar at night I had come down.The occasions, and yesterday I get off.
Well, what a roll that I have hit you, that's my story.
Greetings Xavier

I forget to answer about the question of what kind of diabetes I have, I have no idea, I will also ask the doctor.He only told me he was diabetic.

I am not a handsome moderator, but I serve you... I have found this about the plate method:

The plate method allows to create varied and healthy menus adapted to the needs of the person with diabetes in an easy and without great complications.

The idea is that in a normal size plate, about 23 centimeters in diameter, a little more than one span, the main menu, food or dinner is built, dividing it into four parts.

Half a dish - two fourths - will be salad or vegetables, since its carbohydrate content is very low and the quantity is not limited.

A quarter of the dish will be for the protein: eggs, meat or fish;The meat can be white or red - yes, with as much fat as possible - and the fish can be white or blue, it doesn't matter.The amount is not limited, because these foods barely contain carbohydrates, but about 100 grams of meat or 125 fish can be considered reasonable amounts.

And in the remaining quarter we will put the flours, such as rice, pasta, potato, legumes or bread.Here is important the amount, which depends on factors such as age, sex, weight or physical activity of each person and must be calculated by their medical team.

We can add fruit and bread, but keep in mind that not all fruit or all types of bread contain the same amount of carbohydrates.

Beautiful intruder ... And who needs anyone having you !!!You are worth your weight in gold!(And in this case I would convey that weigh a lot !!! -Hajaja-. :-)).Thank you for everything (you will see how good you will go to Javier !!!).Bona nit !!!For the entire forum.

Hello good morning:

As you asked me and I told you, I tell you yesterday's visit to the endocrine.

Seeing the levels quite high still making the diet Rajatabla, I raised the doses of 22-0-18 to 26-0-20.

The list I was carrying to ask questions of things that has started knowing that I had diabetes were happening to me and before I did not have them, their answers were the following:

(Clarify that I was also and I am medical of acute gossip osteoarthritis.)

DESPIST/LOSS MEMORY.- It has nothing to do with diabetes, if on the next visit I will send me to the specialist.

A lot of itching throughout my body, they come out like some bombollas (like when a mosquito bites you) and I rammed myself for itching and bleeding.--- It can be from the cortisone, next visit we will look at him.

Very blurred view and I don't see anything, I went to Pharmacy and used No. 2 to see closely, Tube to buy glasses from No. 3.5 for close.and from afar I see with those of No. 2 of before.--- Do not worry, in a month I will see as before, if I don't send me the specialist.

Hormigueo in the left hand.--- It has nothing to do with sugar ..

A lot of kidneys.--- cause of medicines.

Blood by the nose .---- Cause of the cortisone

And questions such as very dry throat and with ruming when speaking, feet with pain on the floor when walking and many more.--- All posters or osteoarthritis.Ask the rheumatology.

That was to take my questions clear.

On the question that dose to take if the sugar goes up or down, it was that if it went up 130, 2 units took the previous one, and if it went down 80 that the dose 2 units lowered.

About the 60 tabs/strips that give me for 60 days, that instead of controlling the sugar 3 times a day as I said, I would take it once a day, one day in the morning, another day to thefood and another day to dinner.that the computer did not allow him to make recipe for more strips.

Metformin pills 2 times a day.

The diet, which follows the one they told me at first.
I think about this diet and do it to my liking, because I see better diets to my habits than they gave me.Diets that advise the same Social Security on its page.

The one they gave me is simple and simple but with doubts, the others have examples and assortment of food, (for rookies like me, it is ideal)

The one they gave me:
Breakfast: 1 milk glass or 2 yogurts
Lunch: 1 milk glass or 2 yogurts.
Food: salad or vegetable.Unlimited
2 cups rice, pasta, etc.and 40 grs.Bread or 80 grs, if I don't take pasta
meat-fish without limit or 2 eggs
1 Piece fruit
Snack: milk or 2 yogurts
Dinner: the same as the food
1 hour before bedtime: 1 milk glass or 2 yogurts.

That is the diet that gave me without specifying quantity, only in the pasta, I am up to the yogurs and milk, before I never took milk or yogurts.

The one I have seen on the S.Social page, has exchanges of exchanges, and guides you in food, and what I like the most, is that it allows you to eat more bread in meals, if I have almost almost you can almostEat 300 grs, to the day of bread.

As I am very paper, I think that is why I like this diabetic diet that advises the dietitian who makes the menus for the social S..

Well that is what there is, I will appreciate that you give me your opinions and experiences on the matter.If the same thing happened to you at the beginning and if things like sight, etc., it happens over time.

And on the diet, as you do, it rajataba as they tell you or by eye according to your criteria for the experience.

As I am a rookie, maybe ask silly questions, but the truth is very expensive to me all this and I also get together with all the big problems I have guywork = economic.

work/economic.I am 58 years old, two years ago I had to close the business for finding badNerves, and now even little, the expenses of pharmacy and if (by chance) now I will find a job or lying or by logic if I tell you the truth that I have osseas and I am diabetic I have it difficult.

I await your opinions and recommendations.

Greetings from Fco. Javier.
