Hi, I'm new and I don't know what diabetes I have.

Hello everyone, well I am Antonio, I am 36 years old (my mother is type I diabetic), I debuted 3 weeks ago with diabetes picture with ketoacidosis (I had lost 12 kilos (from 87 to 75 I am 1.71,) and almost 500 sugar. ThenTo stabilize in the hospital they discharged me and the doctor told me that I had type II diabetes.

My appeal treatment was an injection 36 Levemir units in the morning and a metformin pill in meals until introducing 3 into the main meals (breakfast, food, dinner).The problem began to come when I went to the consultation with the diabetes educator (nurse) and told me that my diagnosis was very raised that I believed that by the type of debut it was probably type I.

But there does not end all friends, I have been lowering the insulin this last week (according to the adjustment that the doctor gave me in the hospital that by the way it was not endocrine) up to 6 you.And yesterday that I injected 8 I had two hypoglycemia of 63 and 60 in the morning one of them with symptoms.I have called a doctor recommended by my boss (in which I trust a lot but it is not a specialist endocrine) and he has told me to take away the insulin: shock: that it may have had sudden inflammation of the pancreas).

I already had doubts about whether I was type I or II and now they tell me that it may not be diabetic, I have read things about the "honeymoon" of type I diabetics but my improvement so sudden does not seem normal to me.

I would appreciate that you would help me because I am made a real mess, thank you very much in advance for your answers

Welcome Toni!
From what I have read and have told me, among them my educator, there are people who on their honeymoon come to think that the diagnosis has been wrong or that diabetes has been cured as by magic, but this is not true.And the honeymoon, although I have not had it, it must be quite common.

The inflammation of pancreas, I know, it may be a probability, but having a mother with type I diabetes, you know that it is not a nonsense that you have inherited the same diabetes, it seems much more likely.

I would not completely remove the lantus, especially, because they say it has been demonstrated, small doses of basal insulin make the honeymoon longer.Bajalá a little, and above all, it continues to do controls in case you have to continue adjusting insulin ... and to avoid hypoglycemia, you can always eat a ration of hydrates at a certain time to which you are low, and keep some schedules inmeals ...

Thank you very much for your response, the truth is that deep down and very much, I think the same as you, that I am type I with an exceptional "honeymoon", since although I have debuted too late, the background of myMother make me suspect that, neither do I fit too much in type II because although I did a little sedentary life, I was not especially obese and I am too young for this guy (so I have been able to find out on my own until now) and it isThat despite what the doctor told me, the last thing I want is to make me illusions and then take a click.

These matasanians are making me a member :))

Tomorrow they will make me a general analytical, and among the tests is one that is the presence of themselves antibodies (I do not remember exactly as it is).Do you know if this test is definitive to know the type of diabetes I have?

I want as soon as I raise awareness of my illness, to be able to take care of my best as possible, and avoid/delay the numerous complications we can have, because I have a 20 -month -old creature that needs me and to which I want to see growing in the best possible state.

Well, a lot of toni !!You have a good incentive to take care of you even more!he he

The only thing I can tell you older, is that you continue to control you, before eating and 2 hours later, and as soon as you have high values ​​after eating, try to put a quick insulin guideline.And the Lantus, to adjust it, above all I set the values ​​with which you get up (what time do you put it, by the way ??)

Very good toni I pass through what you, in the hospi it does not come from 300 and at home it was normalized, after a while it becomes hiccup, when the review of the endo saw results and the symptoms, also knowing that in my family it washereditary type 2 and what a mother and some guy go with pills, made me lower the lantus and in just over a week take it away and go with metformin and to this day.Now I have had to go from 1 or 2 pills a day to 3 and still it will regulate me. That's why I tell you, do not fat yourself according to your measure. Theirs is between 72 and 73 kl, many more would not be good, so eat with control anythingto pass and exercise to help.

Hi Toni:
You look like being type 1, the analysis will confirm it and that you are in the honeymoon.Type 2 diabetes does not start so sharply or with ketoacidosis.
I also started late, with 37 years and I am type 1.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Thanks Prado, that my educator told me that I was surprised by the abrupt debut and for the ketoacidosis, but of course she is a nurse, and she did not want to wet

It also sounds like type 1 too.
I guess they will have done the relevant analytics and there they will confirm it.

You tell us.

Welcome home.

You see what I mean if you don't take care of yourself ... I got me 8.2%

Hello toni, something similar to you happened to you when I debut and then I had a fairI send an analysis of the peccid c and insulin to know for sure what type of diabetes I had and it came out that I am type 1 not leave the insulin without the endocrine telling you and if you do not trust you go to an endocrine of payment and to look at you anddo the analysis that comes out but surely you are type 1 and you are in honeymoon good luck and encouragement

Welcome to the forum

Normally, the symptoms of the debut in type 1 diabetes are 4 p: polyuria, polydipsia, polyphia and loss weight ... urinating a lot, drinking a lot, eating a lot and losing a lot of weight.
If you are also in very high blood glucose values ​​(500 mg/dl) and you are less than 40-45 years ... the first diagnosis must be yes or yes a type 1 diabetes.
Then you have to confirm it if you have doubts:
- Insulin antibodies, GAD, ICA, IA2 and pancreatic reserves (Pepid C)

In most cases, the diagnosis with these tests is very clear and simple ... but you have to do at least the peptide analytics C

When putting insulin for a while, you let the pancreas breathe a little and the minimal reserves that it has well ... that does not mean that you have to eliminate insulin, just lower dose until eliminating hypoglycemia ...
In any case, and at first, it must be the doctor who tells you the units you must put on.A doctor who knows what he speaks, of course;Normally specialists are endocrine ... Going to known, recommended etc.
If the endocrine does not convince you to another, but that a specialist takes you ... at least until the diagnosis is confirmed.

Regarding the inheritance ... what you say is not usually, the majority of type 1 do not know a history of type 1 diabetes, although there are certainly cases.

Welcome to the forum !!!!
Little must be added to what they have told you ... Of course I would ask for a second opinion ...

Greetings.

Oswash I am one of those cases mine is hereditary because by my mother all women are less my sister diabetics told me that it was type 1 diabetes and mody 1 so I am one of those rare cases

Hello guys again, first thank you all for your comments and welcome (go Owash, you could set up a diabetes consultApart from the fact that it is very nice and professional, it is type I diabetic since the age of eight, that is, I am in good hands) it seems that or they do not have an idea or do not feel like making me a correct diagnosis.

My educator sent me an anti -gad 64k and oh analysis!Surprise: 5.4 In a range of (... - 1) so this begins to smell as you have rightly commented to type I, although because of my age of debut, I am not overweight;Triglycerids, cholesterol and perfect tension (and last) could fit into lada diabetes, so we will put a candle to see if there is luck and I have a honeymoon as long as possible.

At the moment my glycemia are between 105-130 in the morning and below 100 before dinner and I am injecting only 2 unleaded in the morning, more than anything not to forget that I am diabetic because they have told me that this amount isalmost unrestrable.The only thing I am controlling a lot is the simple HC;I have had several hypo (not very serious 50-60) so with the HC complex (especially the bread that loses me) I am spending a tad.

As Owash says and my educator thinks, my diagnosis first had to be of type I (debut with 500 and ketoacidosis we go from drawer) and as it says then do tests and discard.But no type II diabetes, without nigun type of analytics, and the doctor of internal medicine that discharged me so pancho (and telling my mother:- Not a lady that the type of diabetes of her son has nothing to do with him with theyours ...: ((()

Well now to wait at the end of March that I have consult with him to ask for a few more analytics (the rest of the antibodies and peptide C although my supereducadora is already going to try to ask me before) and incidentally a few explanations.

Greetings

Welcome to Club Toni,
I debuted with 37 years almost 11 months ago, and I remain on a honeymoon, I put 1 or 2 units of fast at food and dinner, at breakfast nothing, Lantus 6 units, although the week of nights under a unit.In January when I went to the endocrine, he told me that it was not very normal to have long honeymoon, but hey, I am delighted, although I imagine that Paco would come with the sales, hahahaha
For your sure debut that you are type I, to see if the endocrine already puts a guideline and to bring a normal life, because with diabetes you can do almost exactly the same as without it, you just have to take care of yourself a little more
Greetingsssssssss

Hi Toni, welcome, in my case it is my 10 -year -old son who is diabetic, debuted almost 6 months ago and has not been insulin for 4 months, I fear that your symptoms are clear from an important honeymoon, I have beenInforming a lot about this, and although it is not the most normal if sometimes it happens, as I tell you my child became minimum insulin doses for a month and a half until he had to leave it because he had hypoglycemia.

In the tests he gave a pected C slightly lower than normal and the doubtful antibodies, they repeat it next month but at no time the endocrine had doubts about his diagnosis.

What I am looking at is that in the cases in which there is a hereditary part of honey moons are strongconclusion :?(How illusable experts investigating and I want to find some coherence in the happy diabetes).

Well Toni, what a lot of courage and luck.
