"Eurekilla", a network resource for people with diabetes

In these times it is very useful to find the correct online media.In the network there is a lot of information about diabetes, but it is necessary to succeed with reliable sources and the right people.

Elena Sereno Deudero was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes with 17 years, in 2001, and was a huge clash.It cost him months to assimilate his new situation.Today, with 32 years, he is a reference in the network for people with diabetes.

Serene has an Instagram profile with the name of 'Eurekilla', which is followed by more than 1,000 people and in which it offers from explanations about diabetes to advice that can serve people with this disease, but also their relatives andFriends (who are called type 3 diabetes).

In addition, it has a blog, www.eurekilla.com, in which it also gives this information.Their resources are complemented with adequate cooking recipes with this disease (and anyone who decides to opt for a healthy diet), since carbohydrates are calculated to identify the suitable insulin dose.It also teaches crafts, since Elena serene is a teacher and psychopedagogue.

“When I was diagnosed with diabetes I went through an initial shock, because it is a disease that above all requires a balanced diet, playing sports and following insulin treatment.

Being of type 1, the pancreas stops working and we do not have cells that generate insulin, so you have to administer it, ”explains serene, adding:“ If you are a person who is not accustomed to a lifestyle withA balanced diet and sport, the change is greater because you have to start changing those habits and limit those carbohydrates and eat more fruit and vegetables. ”

Serene, or what is the same, Eurekilla, explains that although people think otherwise, the fact of having to inject insulin is assimilated well after the first month;However, the difficult thing is to adapt the rest, the influence on social and work life, such as that they respect you in a job of injecting insulin.

"If you are in a stage of your life with jobs of many hours it is more difficult to combine it, but it depends on the work, whether or not they leave you adapt the schedules," he says."The ideal is to follow a balanced diet to the rest of your life, but you can also skip it on dates indicated as long as you calculate it based on the insulin that you should wear," he clarifies.

Good morning,
Thank you very much for sharing.I would like to clarify, that when you suffer diabetes, in type 1 (insulin -dependent) the pancreas continues to work.

One of the peculiarities of the pancreas is that it is a gland both exocrine and endocrine, since it produces digestive enzymes and the intestine secrets for adequate processing of the food we eat (exocrine pancreas), but also produces hormones that secretes the bloodstream directly directly(Endocrine pancreas), to modulate some important aspects of nutrition.

One of those hormones is insulin, but due to this autoimmune disease, the beta cells that produce it are destroyed, which makes it impossible for glucose to be correctly metabolized, as a source of energy for all processes.

I also want to clarify that fruits and vegetables are carbohydrates and must be present daily in our diet, because they provide greater and better nutrients than other simple carbohydrates such as cakes or common sugar (they lack vitamins, minerals and fiber)
