Hello chic@s greetings to the forum. I am Ani and new in this forum. I would like if you can help me as I got the insulin bomb. I debuted in my type 1 diabetes somewhat late with 38 years now I have 43 and I feel quite crushed by my diabetes, despite my insistence to control it. I get up every morning above 200 and I think they are nocturnal hypoglycemia that I don't find out. Throughout the day I barely control it. I carry a bowling counter as a glucometer, which makes it quite facilitated and since I have my profiles have improved a lot. The problem I also find it in my work, I am commercial and I am in the car all day, I feel a lot of concern about the hypoglycemia driving since many I almost do not realize. This I have been talking to my endocrine for almost 2 years, I have been requesting the bomb all this time since within the knowledge I have acquired and thanks to the diabetes education team they have been contributing to me, we believe that I am a good candidate the only one who does notHe sees it is the doctor. That by the way I already asked for a change, this is the second, even my family doctor has called his colleagues to see how they can put the bomb and he does not have an obligation to do so. I live in Seville and the controls spend them at the Virgen del Rocío hospital If some have gone through a similar situation or can throw me a cable. all the best

Hi, I don't know it will help you but I go to ask for it with 10 years in Segovia and it seemed almost impossible mission haha I came to Madrid and I didn't even ask my endocrine directly from putting it was at the October 12 hospital in Madrid... it is true that there are communities that do not put them ... much encouragement and continue to ask where

Welcome and forward with the fight.If they don't pay much attention to you, do not hesitate to claim, you know, whoever does not cry does not mom.The blissful cuts in health are the consequence of all this.Do not cut yourself in sending complaint letters to the Minister of Health, to the Ombudsman of Andalusia, whatever, and you will see how all that can work. Meanwhile it monitors those high levels in the morning.You must make an effort and measure yourself throughout the night to know your evolution.Measure yourself when bedtime and once at least during the early morning and see if there may be hypoglycemia, although with 200 in the morning it would be difficult in my opinion.Maybe you have the phenomenon of Alba. I hope you have your bomb soon.A hug.

Thank you chi@s, for your support. You know.The doctor always tells me that the bomb for me is counterproductive but does not explain why, so I am afraid to hold on to her and then worse. Although with the information of the nurses, my family doctor and all the information that I have been able to collect, I think that not only to me but all the diabetics would significantly improve our lives, I think it is pure cut. Thank you

They put the bomb just over a month ago.I knew it was something that was going to improve my quality of life, but I never imagined that I did it to the extreme that has done it.Now I can finally do sports starting and ending with good glycemic values (I spent five years without getting it with the bowls and thinking it was my fault), now I know what stability is (finally the hateful hypoglycemia were over), now I breatheAnd I have a hem with which I know I am not going to have complications in the future (in a month I went from 8'1 to 6'3) ...
It cost me how mine they put it, but based on "crying" I got it.How much dock I have had to endure, they told me that "the bomb was a punishment", that "it was a cross to always carry it on it" .... Blessed bomb, that I don't even remember that I carry it !!!!, I never miss me !!!!Many endocrine have not put a bomb in their life and do not know what the subject is about.My advice is that you go with an endo that knows the subject and do not stop asking for your bomb.For me to have it it has been like that they would take away half disease, nor can you imagine what will improve your life.

He also told me that it was worse and no more than anything because worse was already difficult ... You put on how my older brother touches noses that in the end even so that they will get to you in the program ... AWhen they put it last year they put it to 6 other people there were people controlled and others who do not so I don't think you have to have a pattern to put it ... but I am not sure anyway I have a text thatMy endocrine day that splices everything very well as soon as I have a time I put it in a link in case it helps in Elgo

Hi Roar, congratulations ... how good you have achieved it! This is just what I think, improve our daily life ... Where are you? I have changed endocrine and this is the second the truth I do not know where to throw but at all I am able to have good glycemic controls. If I am increasing the slow hiccups, I am with correction bowling continuously, as soon as my daily life varies in the least "lack of control" or hyper or hyper safe, and to do sports, I forget, I get up to 300, my hemIt is 8 or so.

I am from northern Spain.I spent a real calvary for five years trying to control my bolis, and it was impossible for me.Above, the faults were always for me: that I did not try, that I went from everything, that I did not measure enough (when I fought and fight every month to give me the strips I need, and I never get it) ... Now with the pump I begin to understand all those reports that I read about diabetic supercardists that run marathons ... with the pump you can.It is incredible the improvement I have had in my quality of life.I will never understand that a doctor who has never put an insulin injection tells me what has to look good and what has to seem bad.To be able to speak you have to live it.
Talk to other patients in your diabetics association and find out what doctor knows about bombs, who has the most (and, above all ... who is the least imbecile), and change that specialist.
By the way, regarding the shame that some people say they feel the bomb, I carry it in a cover and nobody sees anything.I never talk about my diabetes (because it is a private matter of mine) and, if someone asks me, I answer any type bullshit "is that I bought a mobile so ugly that I have to cover it."But, if they saw it, I would not be ashamed of anything, it is more expensive than a rolex and on top of my life, so I don't like it, I don't look, I love it.

I take care of what life has changed, fortunately you have achieved it :) I don't understand about the shame either ... With the hurry that we spend when we have a hip when we least expect or we have to inject at any time especially in my case, that I am always traveling, eating away from home, visiting customersAnd with much of them they have given me down!

Good, I am conducting research on the perception of diabetics, that is, a study of the affective and emotional load of diabetes. I would greatly appreciate your collaboration, the link to the questionnaire is as follows, in 20 minutes it is made!

Hello good,
I would like to ask you some questions about the bomb.Do you know what are the candidates suitable for her?Do you have to do many glycemia a day?Is it bearable?And how do you handle the pump with the practice of sport, when supplying insulin, carrying it and does not hinder the activity, etc?
Seeing your messages, it tempts me a lot ... having to put 6 injections a day, one gets tired of so much puncture ... on top, I can't lower glycosylated hemoglobin of 7.9 ...

Hello!I think you should comment with your endocrine, and he already decides whether to put it, with that hemoglobin I think I should not refuse but that already depends on the doctor.Bearable, it does not bother me, I go to the gym and do everything with her, and also that if instead of clicking 6 times a day you click once every 3 days ....... glycemia if you have toBecome enough (I do not have hypos and if I have them, then the more the hiccAt least in the hospital that I am doing so.I hope I have helped you in something. Greetings
1- That avoids hypoglycemia.And, when you have them, you don't have to solve them eating.
2- Glucose control during sport.Using the "temporary basal" you can start and end with a good glucose figure.I explain: the bomb is putting a amount of insulin throughout the day, but if you decide to play sports, you programs so that during the time of the year I will supply you 60% (or 20 or 59 or 73% ofinsulin ... what you need), and matter resolved :-)
Regarding the candidates, they need to see you very motivated, capable of learning, that you have glycemic instability and, above all things, that your endocrine of the real wins.Luck !.

If they are because it is basal or by exercise (not because of the effect of a bolus) disconnecting the pump half an hour or one hour sometimes it is solved.It is true that hypos with the pump are considerably reduced

I would like to know that too, at first I did it and I did not solve because the insulin is already in my body and if it is not eating, as it goes back?, And then that if I had been disconnected, at the hours I had aSuperhiperglycemia.I commented with my endo and clear with more insulin than you need and without glucose ...... (at least an hour so that there is no insulin and then the effect of having been without it).I think this solution is not effective.Although it is true that hypos are reduced

Well, I have told my experience, maybe I shouldn't generalize.I do not know the specific reason why hypoglycemia are reduced with the pump, but I think that is so for the common diabetics.In fact, one of the reasons why the pump is put is to avoid hypoglycemia.Regarding how to overcome them without eating, what I do is either put a temporary basal of 50% (for example, it can be more or less depending on the severity of the hypo), or directly take it out for a while.It works for me ...
