Hello everyone.
A month and a half ago I had a few days that I was tired, I was very thirsty and I went to the bathroom every 40 minutes (I had two weeks), I arrived at my doctor when they saw the symptoms made me a capillary test and automatically put me insulinFast since I was about 400, from there to the hospital with a hypo glycemia in ambulance since they should not have put the insulin as well as, but well.
He spends the day at the hospital and the next day was already at home with a lot of information to assimilate.
I have to say that I had the needles panic, the first day I had to prick I threw almost 15 minutes that I did not dare (now I do it without more).
They tell me that I am in the honeymoon phase, therefore my dose is very small, a unit lowers the 200, I put 6 basal and more or less “1” 0 “0.5“ before meals as much as much2, I also put the free freestyle sensor 2.

And nothing worsens me anymore, I hope to learn a lot from you (I read you since I debut and look for info online).

All the best

Hi Gaby, welcome.
It is curious how different the debuts of each person are.You went to the doctor right away, it was a great success.
I don't know how they dared in primary care to put insulin instead of deriving emergency to the hospital to decide the specialist.If you were only one admitted day I understand that you did not arrive with ketoacidosis.
They have put the sensor very fast, you have been lucky.
The beginning is overwhelming, between capillaries, high, hypoglycemia.It made me hard.Little by little you relate your body's reactions to different foods and physical activity.For that, this forum is unpayable;The contributions of people living with diabetes are very useful and valuable, much better than staying alone with the training that the nurse is going to give you and the endocrine.You feel understood and it is a place to talk about your illness with all the details that you want, which you cannot make in other environments without becoming "the diabetes boy."
For your profile photo, I see that you like the mountain.Be very careful with hypoglycemia when you go out of hiking.It is what I have worse, having to be eating every hour and a half or two, the sport gives me many downs.
You will tell us

Hi Gaby, at first it is very complicated, really.Take it very calmly and patience.The more you read better.There are many things: diabetes and food;diabetes and sport;diabetes and types of insulin;diabetes and other hormones;diabetes and technology;etc.

As you have started, the honeymoon is unpredictable.It can last a month, three months, six months (as in my case) or more.That is why now you have to be very aware of all the changes and gradually readjust both basal and fast.That will complic you a bit everything until you stabilize.Therefore, the more stable you are in your daily diet (and sport) and the better you learn to count carbohydrate rations, it will be easier.Even so, you will put the leg many times, like everyone else.Patience.Avoid above all nocturnal hypoglycemia.And if you can the daytime.But well, we have all passed them.

Now I am leaving vacancy, and I completely disconnect from everything, including the forum!But as long as you need it.There is always someone who will answer you.But remember: do not copy anyone's factors, or anyone's insulin types.Never.Learn from others and experience you, because each person with diabetes is very different and each body reacts differently.There are many factors that make us very different and react differently from sport, fats, etc.Keep it very much.

Many animals

Courage, take advantage of the honeymoon to get on little by little how the different types of food impact and to get used to the needles, measurements ..... a lot of suddenly info, on the honeymoon it is assimilating butYou never stop learning.
Did you make antibodies, peptide or something ???
Very fast I see the diagnosis in 1 day
And remember one thing, I speak to you from minignoracia about DM1, a loss of sugar is more dangerous than a climb, so while you learn better to prick and then correct than to pass with the first.

Yes, they did all the tests, luckily my wife works at the Hospital in Laboratory, it is clear that it is not good to have that preference, but it was,

Glycosilada 9.9%
Pepid C 1.09 ng/ml

Logically there they only gave me the diagnosis, the endocrine took two weeks to call me and at the beginning I spent two weeks with merformine until the endocrine saw me and for the moment I have been the educator twice
