hello

Hello chic@s I am new, I have diabetes I am sure that it is type 2 but they are treating me against the 1, I would like to find friends that tmb have this disease, the truth is that I want to share with someone what happens to me andabove all that we help each other to live and control this disease

Greetings from the DF

Welcome to the forum, Li: D
Let's see, how is that you think you are type 2 and treat you as 1?:?... If you suspect something like that, you must ask for a second opinion, that you do the tests that you should do to be correctly diagnosed and put the proper treatment.
If you can tell us your symptoms, your controls, your treatment, to see what we think ...

Greetings and welcome.

Hi, Li_arlequín.
I agree with Velia in everything said.

Welcome to the club

Hello li,

Welcome!:)

Hello everyone!!!

It turns out that I acquired the diabetes after my pregnancy, the last 3 weeks detected the high sugar, they only controlled me with a diet and even there it was ... that was in December 2008, but in March and April of this year I had a lot of flowVaginal and a lotAnd after breakfast 391, total who sent me insulin Lispro Protamina and diet ... but where they explained the insulin they were only going to send it to me while the sugar was lowered, another doctor sent me the metformin 450g every 12 hours, but I must confess it I do not carry my diet, I do not exercise and sometimes I put the insulin and sometimes I take the metformin.The truth is that I still do not get to the idea that I have that disease and it costs me a lotI am sure that no one asked for it, much less is a punishment.

I have the support of my popes and my brothers and also my husband, but I still feel alone ... sometimes I tell my husband not to buy sweets and do not, but sometimes I tell him "You bring me some cookies "and it brings them to me, if it is me and nothing else I must take care of my food but the truth is very complicated and tmb gives me lazy to exercise and I am wrong.

My symptoms are a lot of thirst and sleep.

Thanks for your comments!

There is one thing I don't understand:
When someone is diabetic, if you take care of and continue your treatment, you can live well, just like a healthy person, and have good health, and strength, and feel great.So why do you prefer not to take care of yourself, find yourself wrong, to know that health is going to shit and that it will complicate, not only your life, but that of yours?
Forgive me the question, but I must be very stupid for not understanding it, or very stupid who does that.

Hi Li, so you have a full -fledged diabetes.

Recently they diagnosed you and perhaps you are going through a process of grieving and you feel frustrated by the situation.But it is important that you follow the guidelines that have indicated you, since it is dangerous for you not to do it.

Some clarifications:

- Insulin does not get to lower the sugar and then take it away.It's not like when you have an infection, it is a long -term treatment.It is currently a life treatment.

- I do not understand that you put insulin and also take oral antidiabetics.This should be made with your doctors and clarify it.

- The issue of the diet is especially important at the beginning, while regulating levels and learns to know how your body reacts.Then it is more flexible, as long as you have learned good knowledge of portions and insulin correction.You have to be patient.

- Exercise, it can simply be to walk for an hour a day.It doesn't have to go running or gym.It is about having a minimally active lifestyle.Having a baby as you say it is hard to believe that you do not have an active standard of living, axis.

- Look for support in your husband, tell how you feel, tell him what things you should control and in specific situations you can ask you to take a hand, but the people who envelop you cannot be in charge of your follow the treatment, you are the only oneresponsible.

After all this roll, you should be clear about some things:

- Why do I put the insulin?What insulin do I take?How long does its effect last?
- Basic knowledge of nutrition.What are carbohydrates?How do they affect glucose?What are the portions?How many carbohydrates does a certain food or dish have?
- Why should I have an active life?How does exercise affect my glucose levels?
- How many glucose controls should I make myself up to date?I know how to correct levels?
- I measure the ketone?I know what is it?How should I correct my glycemia when I have cetona?What dangers do you have?

And I think that in broad strokes this is the main thing.Once you control this, you can happen to other more specific things.It depends a lot on the person's ability to adapt to new situations.There are people who want to know everything and people who want the essential information first and then the rest.

If you are not clear the previous points, you should ask for time with the specialist or the educator in diabetes and consult them.

What a roll I've released!

All the best,
