Your partner is lucky that you are interested in your illness.Courage and patience.

Hi Gaby, welcome to the forum, ask what you need and tell what you feel, is a very participatory and supportive forum.

Thank you very much for responding and with encouragement ... the truth is that many times it is what I lack.I am already looking for the possibility of having a therapeutic space but it makes me good to feel that what happens to someone cares without judging me or my husband.Tomorrow we will have a consultation with the specialist who, after months of having studies drawn, we will see what he can tell or tell me to follow.Thanks for the place, I needed to channel my frustration that day and helped a lot, after tomorrow's novelties I tell you

Gabi here we wait for us, what the specialist tells you.I have a therapeutic space and it does very well, I recommend it!When you like you tell more details, how much of the diag, which uses insulinas, as the measurements, the hydrates are going, it is a new world, calm and little by little they will incorporate so much information!

Well, waiting for tomorrow's consultation, what I can tell you is that the diagnosis is confirmed about a year and a half ago but a specific treatment has not yet been defined because the doctor requires all specific laboratory studies thatHe asked him for more than a year and that my husband managed to do them during this month, which is why he is currently medicated only with the metformin in the grams recommended by his colleagues (he is a doctor).Insulin is not yet indicated but due to the times that took her studies.Thank you for recommending the space for your own experience, I know it is a space that generates some fear for what mobilizes me in there but being in an emotional pendulum is not recommended either.The theme of carbhydrates we are doing a diet rich in fibers throughout the family ... I decidedMore vegetables and fruits and integral flour

It is always positive to feed healthily even if you do not have diabetes, and if since children incorporate a varied and healthy feeding better.There, your husband also needs a therapeutic space, to be able to elaborate and accept the diagnosis, and start taking care of yourself.We will see to evaluate the specialist.

Hello friends ... We finally went on Thursday to the consultation.I must thank you immensely because being able to connect with you gave a totally unexpected turn to everything.As the specialist is almost 100kms where we live, the trip allowed us to speak, which is why the last time was a disaster and everything ended very tense.Thanks to certain decisions made from me, going to the psychologist God through this week will be, my much more calm fogyWe were able to put fresh cloths in a relationship and ... what does not kill you makes you stronger, right?Well, we went to the specialist, from the previous space out of respect for his will, I let him pass alone and he is waiting to pass if necessary.
Studies show small alterations now in kidney functions, they are not dramatic but they are a call for attention.TB There are values ​​that show that their glycemia has been high for a long time although, at the time of the consultation almost 4 pm, he had a value of 168 ... so the doctor wants thorough control this month and proposed a change in theMedication Before evaluating insulin, he wants me to take metformin combined with another drug that I do not remember, twice a day and in 30 days see it yes or yes to evaluate ... so well ... my husband TB told him theTherapeutic option and could talk about the issue of impact exciting that it has on the values ​​of glycemia ... things that he knows but they are good to be reinforced by another person.But we also resume your diet again so we will see what they tell us ... but thanks ... Thank you all for transmitting concern and that palmadita that so many times calms us ... a giant hug ...

Gabi what good news!You can talk is an important step and want to start a space too!Surely it was and is still very hard the diagnosis as for all, it is a duel that one has to do ... I hope the change of life that is needing begins, hopefully he listen to the call to the need for a change to be able to be fine and youGabi, strong and companion, don't decay!
Where do they live?
