I am debuting, I am sad and decayed.I need advice.

Hello friends,

Thank you for losing a little of your time, and I feel if you are very long to read (whoever wants to make it clear) but I have been wanting to write in a forum to give me opinions of diabetics that are many years, since I barely carryA month of debut.

Really the importance of diabetes I give the fair, what frustrates me is knowing that it is incurable, and being dependent on the whole life of it, I do not usually have to click to know the level of glucose I have, or have to have toInjecting the insulin, I am taking it fatal, and that is why I need someone to give me a little mood, for their experiences and experiences with diabetes, the first thing I have to say that I have not been able to tell anyone, not because I am ashamedNot any of that, but I feel so bad that I am not able to articulate a word and sprout to cry and I do not want a drama to seem only that I am having a really bad time, I also have many other problems and it was already what I could least expectThat could happen to me.

Now I am worried, my doctor every time I take a look at the glucose tests that I do to my mind, really I do not know what level is right and what is bad!I give you an example of several days (I always do the tests before and after eating) the controls are of the same days, food and dinner breakfast, also lunch and melting but very little a coffee, a fruit, an integral bar ...

Breakfast: Before 95 later 161, before 75 later 151, before 65 after 75, before 81 after 184, before 132 after 71.
It is an lack of control!

Food: Before 165 later 100, before 79 after 141, before 139 after 97, before 83 after 87, before 121 after 91.
Dinner: before 71 after 100, before 73 after 132, before 80 later 192, before 73 after 73, before 91 after 109.
And today I got up with 63 ...

I am injecting 10 units of Lantus 1 time a day since it is D this that is superlent, before at night, but they gave me continuous hypoglycemia at midnight and I had to get up to devour cookies, that's why I now put them onIn the morning, the levels I have put up are since I put it in the morning, before it was a gap because after dinner I went up almost to 300, it is seen that I was no longer insulin.And before diagnosing myself and putting insulin I climbed almost 400 ...

I don't understand the levels but I know that is a lot!Please someone can tell me what levels are adequate, I have no appointment with the doctor for a week and I need to know if I go well or badly.

Thank you so much!!!

Very good so_shy, first, welcome to the forum.It is a big step that you have entered, because although it is costing you to assimilate so many things, you just found a great support point.
Surely now they give you very good advice here, you'll see it.
For my part, invite you to give you a return through the forum, you will see that there are people of all kinds, of all ages, with more and less years of experience with diabetes, either for suffering or for being relatives of someone who theLook ... will encourage you to see that we are normal people, with a normal life ... sweet, but normal :).
It is very important that you do what you are already doing, worry about it.If you keep it at bay, you will not have complications.And for that, the fundamental thing is to know it ... how you are doing now ... inform you and learn ... Each body is a world and you will be the one that best knows yours.
If you accept me any recommendation ... I would seek through your health and endocrine center an educator in diabetes ... it will be very helpful and guide you very well in "diet", exercise, controls ...
If you look, I have put "diet" in quotes.Because it is true that you have to follow a ... but nothing different from what everyone should do (with or without diabetes).Keep in mind that there are no prohibited elements, you just have to take into account how to eat them.I already tell you, that you are calm, as your diabetes more controls and you know it better quality of life you will have.And over time, you will have to spend less time.Although it costs at the beginning, it will be worth the sphor.
I see the values ​​that I see (after change) see them well ... Your endocrine will mark you some goals, so that you get closer and more to normal glycemia.As you see and knowing your body you can marking more or less ambitious objectives ... but it is always important that it is your ending to guide you at the beginning in those goals.
I don't want to stun, but here you can ask all the doubts that arise.As long as you don't forget that it is essential that you follow a good endocrine.
A huge kiss

Huy, Huy, Huy

Let's see that mood.

The first thing I want to tell you is that these controls are not bad and that you should not overwhelm.If you have recently debuted, you are called "honeymoon."That means that your pancreas still has insulin reserves and loosely releases them, so it is very difficult to have good control, but do not worry, which is passenger.

The second is that diabetes is a disease that certainly has no turning back, but it can be a little annoying travel partner if you learn to dominate and meet her.The main thing is that you do many controls, as you see what you do, to learn how your body responds to food, insulin, exercise, etc.You will see how you immediately, if you put interest, it is you who dominates diabetes, and not vice versa.

The third is that, once you know how to handle food for carbohydrate rations, insulin sensitivity, etc., you can have much more freedom and eat everything, including sweets (without abusing, but without fear).

Look for an endocrine with which you feel comfortable, understood and teach you.It would also be very convenient for me to be derived from an educator in diabetes, who are usually the ones that guide on a day -to -day basis.

And, of course, you have us, that we are your new family and we are here to help you.
Tell us your doubts, tell us what kind of life (exercise, meals, etc.) you do, where you are, in short, what you think is convenient to guide you better, and you will see how within nothing it is you who will help the new ones.

Welcome home

Hi SO_SHY:
Welcome to the forum !!!
It is logical that you are sad, it is not easy to assimilate that we have diabetes and that it is for a lifetime but little by little you will see that you can live perfectly, only with habits that we did not have before (measure glucose and click insulin).
As Sweety tells you, it would be very good for an educator to explain well the management of insulin and carbohydrates.Ask and raise everything you want, here we will try to help you and support you because we are all on the same ship.

A kiss

Jo thanks everyone, this is what I needed, thanks, I hope more answers and more councils I can follow.
On the endocrine, they already gathered when I was diagnosed, but the S.S.It goes like this slowly and until April 22 I have no appointment with him .. What do you think it is from the S.Social?is that the truth that money I don't have to pay for one ...
By the way about the exercise I do not exercise but what is nothing, because I am always tired

Well a forty hug thanks Sweety, Alea, Prado .. I hope more answers that give me encouragement and help me assimilate this nurse ... this things;)

huge kisses

Welcome to the forum, SO_SHY: D
As you see you have reached the right place, to encourage you, to learn and therefore to take care of yourself and lead a life of the most normal.You have reminded me of a few years ago (6 already) when my 5 -year -old daughter was diagnosed ... what pain and what a truncated future feeling.Of course, without fainting, because I had no choice but to be at the foot of the cannon ... and how many tears spilled every night when I sat in his bed to do the controls ... it is a normal process, little by little you are goingassimilating that it is a chronic disease that allows you to live, I would say that quite well, that the "restrictions" imposed in the debut are very much less when you start knowing how insulin, exercise and comdas work and how your body reacts toThey ... that immediate fears, such as hypoglycemia, and "long -term", the possible complications, they are attenuated as you learn ... that discrimination is overcome when you accept your new way of life.... On the other hand, you must thank because you have to live this disease when we have at our disposal many means to face it (I mean the new technologies applied to diabetes), and that every day progresses a little moreTo live a little better.With this I want nothing more to tell you that what happens to you is normal, and that in a very little time you will be strong to carry this in the best way.;)

On the other hand, the controls that you put are not bad ... maybe the posts somewhat low.I explain, the "ideal" is to have preprandial controls (before meals, colloquially called "present") with values ​​around 100 (80-120), and postprandials (2 hours after eating, called "pos")lower than 160 (even 180) ... that would be as I say the "ideal" and the "difficult to get", because in addition to insulin, exercise, meals (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, glycemic indices,etc), other factors influence, "moods", "hormones", "stress", "diseases" etc.Anyway, all this little by little, it seems straight, but you'll see how soon you dominate everything ... you don't doubt you.And of course we are here to give you a hand.

The exercise is good, but not only for the diabetics, but for all ... it is not necessary that you macIt will help improve your mood, it will make you feel better physically ... But hey, all things little by little.

The endocrine is like everything, there are magnificent and there are "stupids", but that depends on the fate you have .... we, I believe that almost all of the forum, we are treated by endocrine social security....Where are you from?It also depends on the autonomous community in which you are and the health area that corresponds to you.

And little more, that much encouragement and that you have to put yourself strongly, that you are very young and you have a lifetime ahead ... a kiss.

Good again,
Edocrine is very good, good, bad, very bad and others that are not known where they got the title and license ... and all of them are everywhere.I think that everyone is going to coincide around here ...

Now I give you my iPinion regarding SS vs. private.I prefer the SS.If it is true that he has his deficiencies but for my experience I think it is worth it.On the one hand you have the material, if you are not yet of any private society, none I think it will give you coverage for strips and others ... On the other hand, the endocrine in the SS see more number of diabetics, thatIt can be good and bad, but what my experience has given me has been in more cases good than bad.(And see that I have found endocrine very cafres !!!).Anyway, more than the endocrine, the educator has helped me, both when I was in Andalusia and here in Madrid ... and if you find a very bad endocrine, you are in your right to change to another ... so... But hey, everyone will have an opinion about it ...

Regarding exercise ... for what you are telling, of course you do physical exercise.And you have to be careful with and include it in the "things to take into account" for your food and insulin.Being inprevisible, depending on the volume of work, I suppose it will be more via food than insulin ... but do not stop taking care of yourself at work, let people know that you are a diabetic will be important ... at least eat it to some partner/To whom you agree in turn so that you can assist you in case you need it.

Well, courage and bull !!!

I agree to prefer social security.It is the one that has the best media, great specialists and greater coverage.
Of course there are true cenutrios;My daughter had any, but what we did was ask for the change of endocrine, until you find a team that understands and takes it well.
For a while we take it to a private, well -known and very expensive, American style, but the best result is obtaining it with social security.
Telling what community you are, to be able to orient yourself better about endocrine, associations, etc.

And he lifts that mood, that you are no longer alone.

A hug.

Hello:

I also want to unite to encourage you.We all feel that way when we start and take time to accept it, so how you will read here many people who do the things we like and enjoy life with diabetes.Come on, you can do everything you want in this life but that with diabetes as a partner, so it is best to take it well because it will always follow us.

Go little by little and do not stress or overwhelm that everything takes time and learning.As you have told you in this learning an educator and an endocrine have to help you for you take the reins.And if you have doubts or want to vent then there will always be a hole to do it.

Cheer up!

Hello, I carry little in this forum, but it has helped me a lot !! I read it toooodoooosss the days but I am vague to write."Eat well." Lee, inform yourself, that the more you know about the topic (food and rations), the more you will dominate it and know your menu automatically, if you control it well, from time to time you can give yourself a whim !!! I don't thinkthat many people eat a cake every day :))
The punctures and controls come a moment that is part of you, you will do it without thinking.
I have spent good and bad times. The best control I have had in the pregnancy of my 2 children and they are priceThe sweetness we already have it in the body :))

Well, I write a few times but when I wear .......: Oops:
A kiss and follow the forum that you will realize that you are not alone !!!!!!!!!!!

Well, well, well, what are I going to tell you that they have not told you here;).Quiet woman who happens, I still remember with 15 years crying day and night like a Magdalena and telling my mother that why I had touched me, now ...:-/, it is not that I am happy to be a diabetic, but I will meet 38 and weight 57.5 kg, I am the envy of many! ":))
What I want to say is that it is not as bad as we paint it in our mind, little by little you are adapting, until a day comes that you already do automatically, if it serves as relief, I have been with the bomb and theDay before I put on it I cry a lot again, thinking that I was going to be engaged to a machine, if now they tell me that I have to return to the punctures, they kill me!:))
Welcome to the forum, and ask what you want.Kisses!: Mrgreen:

Thank you very much to all you are some "sweets" people:-/
On the endocrine you have helped me a lot, since my header is a sky and it is difficult to hit ... because then there was a substitute that made me guilty even for hurting my head ..
My educator is also diabetic but I have not spoken much with her either, she takes me controls, she tells me that I can not eat bananas and reduce pasta and potatoes .... little else.And well he also tells me to encourage me, but then he teaches me his fingers skinned by the punctures ... and of course, so anyone is encouraged.
With the aaaai diet the diet ... I am made a mess, I do not know what to eat, what to have dinner ... I think that anything that eats will upload a lot and in the end I am hungry and then the hypos come to me.I suppose that with all this the endocrine will give me a hand ..
And can you really lead a normal life?I guess it will cost me several months to realize and see how my body is reacting ... but right now I don't wantIt makes me a little scary for the hypos and that I do not find out, once it lowers me up to 32 and my educator M said that with 25 he gave him a diabetic coma ... but it is that with 70 I begin to run out of strength..

Paula, as what you say about the bomb, what is it?I am only with the "Boligraph" of Lantus, with the bomb you don't need to prick?Ains how much mess.

.

Good Murcianica ... the same your educator (with little tact in my opinion) tells you that because you are starting ... but I like Platano and potatoes and bread and rice and ... in fact, 60% of my diet are hydratesCarbon .... Anyway there are educators who are very restrictive ... I personally do not agree with those things ... because the anxiety that creates prohibition sometimes makes you feel very bad and even do barbarities ..Do you follow a diet by portions ???
And about my fingers ... sees a lot, I have not been snorted (at least for the moment), I have them a little enrolled ... advantage ... I am not burn when you take the glass of milk from the microwave:)) :))

Welcome to the biggest club in Spain, SO_SHY

Type 1 diabetes does not have the inheritance ... that you have a grandmother with diabetes has nothing to do with you suffering it, your grandmother probably has type 2 diabetes.
In this link you have the explanation of the differences between the types of diabetes:

Decalogue you should know:
1. All medical staff is by your side ... and if it is not changing medical equipment.
2 Your parents and your family are by your side ... and if they are not looking for people who will be.
3. It is normal to hate diabetes
4. It is normal sometimes to be nose
5. Anything you do to take care of your diabetes is of great importance for your general control
6. Sometimes even if you do everything right, your sugar levels can be out of control
7. Talk to other people with diabetes
8. Think about the ways in which you could take better care.
9. The blood glucose figures are high or low, not good or bad ... they are only figures.
10. Even if you have diabetes what you are fundamentally is a person.

(Reformulate from: )

Regarding meals, very basically (which is then complicated):

- Everything that runs, nothing or flies does not raise blood glucose (they are proteins)
- Everything that is born from Earth and milk rises glycemia (carbohydrates)

This link is the best I have seen:

Sure, woman, who took a normal life ... there will come a time when you will see everything "almost" of course.You will see how little by little you will know what foods you upload, what things you lower you, you will lose the fear of the hypos and everything will be part of your life like washing your teeth, washing your clothes ...
You can also start aiming everything you eat, what you have done during the day, the glycemias has as a newspaper and when you review it you will discover how your body works and this will give you more control and more independence.

But first of all you must talk to your endo and give you a good information session.

Hello "Chochi", because you look at the bomb is a machine that supplies you insulin little by little, and of course you have to click, but 1 time every 3 or 4 days.But do not want to skip so many lessons, to put on a pump you have to know perfectly the rations of food, etc.You have good what all this is going on, which is not complicated ..., you will have time to learn new technologies.I tell you because you are going to overwhelm with such information, and you are starting now ... calm, all in your time;) you observe, listen to your body (which is very wise), if you feel like a banana, eat half and lookCúnto goes up, and with the rest of the food the same, keep in mind when you exercise, if you are going to start the period, if you are cold, etcThe 3rd increase glucose levels so you will have to wear a little more, but all that with patience and dedication, okay?
As if we lead a normal life, of course woman, that we are not from another planet!Ja, ha, forgives but has made me very funny.As I told you before, I debuted with 15 years, and at 23 I met my husband now.We laugh, travel, we walk and ... well you already understand me 8), you just have to find your half orange like the rest of the mortals!:))

Owash, I didn't know that decalogue ... I liked it and I take note: D
And I liked food if possible ...

So-shy How do you follow?Do not decay ... that all -mood, with so much mood that we are trying to give you, we are overwhelming you and giving a lot of information ...

So-shi ... Above those spirits!, Do physical activity not only helps improve your diabetes but also to lift your spirit, learn to relax (mind-body) and invest time in you.Here you share experiences and learn from other people who are going through the same;Sometimes it is going very well to know that you are not alone and it will make you feel much better.

Take care of everyone.Up hearts!

Holilla again, and again thank you, I am very heavy but it is that if you are helping me a lot, quite because I have no one to talk about the subject, and it is a very big relief, I want to assimilate something else so that I canTake that step, I know that you don't have to give it so much importance.

Ah according to my educator diagnosed me diabetes mellitus type 2 .... He told me that 1 is when you are oldBut come on, I still find out anything.
In the hemo that made me salt with a 8.8 that according to me that I mean that I had been dragging him, if sometimes I noticed myend, I do not want to mess up but that if I am very interested in your experiences and experiences, and I will tell you if I have been lucky with the endo and touch MAJETE, but until April 22 ... I do not see the day come!

Muuuuchisima thanks!

Beautiful love mother !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Change educator, but now.

Someone who says that type 1 diabetes is older and due to bad habits is that he has no fox idea of ​​diabetes.It is just the opposite.The one due to age+sedentary lifestyle+obesity+bad habits is type 2: mrgreen:

If we unite the one that showed you your skinned fingers, gives an idea that you have no pajolera idem of how to take care of yourself.My daughter has been between 8 and 10 daily controls for almost 8 years and you have your fingers without marks.

I think you must go to the closest diabetics association and guide you on the endocrine and educators in Murcia, because they are looking with you.

And take the opportunity to cry everything now, which soon will not have reasons :) We are an antidepressant forum by nature :)) :)) :))

Come, above that mood, now you have us.

Health
