Lorena Aguinninaya and Rafael Fuentes changed their lives completely five years ago, when the youngest of her three daughters, Sofia, diagnosed type 1 diabetes.
"It was a bestial impact, she had been drinking a lot of water for a few weeks, we took her to the emergency room and told us that she had to be admitTell your experiences and feelings in a blog.
Almost by chance, those texts arrived in the eyes of journalists Marta García and Carlos Moncada, who proposed to publish them in a book.They titled 'Chiqui Sweet, the sweet side of diabetes'.
It went on sale at the end of 2015 and all the funds that were collected were allocated to beneficial entities, such as the asylum of Los Angeles and Adisol de Marbella.But the 'Gusanillo' for the writing of Aguinninaya continued and just three months ago has published with the same publishing house, Lomarca Creations, the second part, 'Chiqui Sweet, an endless sweet history'.
In this case, in addition to its texts, the work has very special collaborations, of people who also live diabetes in the first person, either type 1, the most aggressive and that requires insulin injections, or type 2,which can be treated only with diet and exercise or medication.Thus, the prologue is in charge of the well -known television presenter Carlos Sobera, who suffers from type 2 disease for six years.The presenter participated last April in an act in the capital in which he accompanied little Sofia, who in the books written by her mother is called Carlota."She was fantastic, very attentive and affectionate with all the children who came," recalls the author, who works as an official in the provincial technical team of special educational needs of the Delegation of Education.
Famous participate in the book with diabetes such as presenter Carlos Sobera, Borja Mayoral or Silvia Serrat
Other firms that appear in the second book are those of the Real Madrid Borja Mayoral player or the professional basketball player Silvia Serrat.The book is completed with conversations between the three sisters about their day to day and coexistence with the smallest disease of the house."They are special children, they never complain, they are brave, delivered, they are not sick, they just have to live with a limitation, and that the pancreas does not work and, therefore, insulin has to be injected," summarizes the parent summarizesof the little Sofia, 10 years.The three sisters study at the private school Novaschool in Añoreta, where Aguinnininy is "very satisfied" for the treatment and attention of teachers towards their little daughter.
"At the beginning it was the hardest thing, we had to be more than a week admitted to the maternal, in what they call the diabetological classroom, so that we would learn to control the blood glucose levels and put the injections," confesses the mother, whoIt details that Sofia has to perform eleven sugar test per day and put five doses of insulin.«It takes it phenomenal, it is very responsible and knows that when you want to eat something with sugar you have to puncture before.In addition, it is very aware of healthy eating and physical exercise, ”says Aguinninaya.
For this mother, there are "many myths and false images about diabetes."«In school the children told him, at first, that that had happened to him because he ate a lotthe causes that trigger it.Type 2 is different, because there does great influence, ”he considers.
The latest scientific studies, published by the European Diabetes Society, show that 13.8% of theSpaniards over 18 has type 2 diabetes, which is equivalent to more than 5.3 million compatriots.Of them, almost 3 million were already diagnosed but 2.3 million, 43% of the total, did not know that they suffered from the disease.
All that is collected for the sale of the second book written by Aguinininar will go to the Association of People with Diabetes de la Axarquía (Adiaxa), a recently created group in the Eastern Region Malaga.Last week they organized an act of presentation of the work at the facilities of the CAC (Contemporary Art Center) Francisco Hernández de Vélez-Málaga.
