Hello everyone, yesterday I am diabatic 20 years ago, I am currently 32 years old, yesterday for the first time I was diagnosed in my Diabatic Retinopathy Health Center, specifically in the report it says: Temporary microhemorrhage to Macula.
My doctor has told me that he is mild and has sent me to the ophthalmologist in hospital to see me.I am very scared.Is it normal for this symptom to have?

I am a little depres, in another forum I have seen that people have a hemoglobin of 5.8 to 6.4 almost everyone, my God I have never lowered from 6.4, now I have 7.4.I believed that the diabets were doing well but it seems to me not.

Some tell me something about your experience.Thank you

Hello Poeme

With 20 years of evolution it is feasible to find the first problems related to the disease, the most normal are mild conditions if there has been acceptable control.The important thing is that they have diagnosed you well and soon (that the ophthalmologist confirms that for that is the specialist), the early diagnoses are always good because they help control any complication with much more easily.

Did the pupils delay the background?

Do not take conclusions of what people put on the Internet ... you do not know their cases, each person is a world and glycosiladas are not the only parameter to value ... I prefer a glycosylated 7 without downturn or climb than one of6 with hypoglycemia of 40 every day.

Try to be calm and do what you can, that it is basically to control the glycemia, cholesterol, the weight, the tension ... being nervous will not help you, I know it is easy to say it but it is the truth ...

I always think one thing, that to get nervous and get depressed I will always have time ... the same to be calm and relaxed I will not have that time, so in the meantime to try to do things that distract you

Thanks for answering.Well, the truth that the pupils did not delay me.I am looking forward to Wednesday 5 ophthalmologist.

Since November I have had glycemia very decompensated because I had a vomiting picture that uncontrolled the blood glucose and in the hospital they changed my insulin.Now I use Novorapid and Lantus.Now is when I am starting to control myself well but sometimes I have uploads for no reason.And with this new insulin I have realized that until the fruit, if it is in isolation, that is, not accompanying lunch or dinner, my blood glucose uploads a lot.That's why when I have a descent I only take a piece of fruit and I have it up I am high, so when I have 80 glycemia for example and I know that it will download I take a fruit and it gets very high.

I don't know if this alter has produced the problem.

1 small apple (plus less 100 grams) I would upload the blood glucose about 50mg/dl so if you are in 80 and eat a normal apple (plus less 200 grams) you would put yourself in 180.

The Bolus-Basal Guidelmeals+some correction)

Have you explained the diet for portions?
In this link you have an explanations and enough information: Link ... ion/05.htm

A bad metabolic control leads to complications ... rather it leads to an increase in probability of having complications ... it is already known with the percentages that are sometimes fulfilled and sometimes not.
Theoretically, when talking about bad control we talk about many years (above 10 years) with glycosylated above 9% or 10% always, with poor weight control, cholesterol, tobacco .... but I insist on probabilities.

Maybe you can surprise yourself but I have never told carbohydrates whenever I have eaten something with sugar I have put insulin, some more doses, and, more or less controlling I have known how many doses I had to wear.Therefore I do not know, for example if I ingest 15 gr carbohydrates as soon as glycemia rises and how many exact insulin doses I would have to put on.Can you help me?Because I have no idea of ​​grams, HC rations and how much the glucose rise would be.

Thank you

Hello, Poeme.I have put a link to a page that, for me, is fundamental in diabetes.There he explains to tell carbohydrates and diet by rations.

Another thing is the ratio, which is the amount of insulin you need for each ration of hydrates.

And a third is insulin sensitivity, which is how much blood glucose each insulin unit lowers you.

With those three parameters, it should be easy to control diabetes.And I say because with my daughter the thing is complicated.Phew.Anyway, one day adolescence will end ... I hope.

Health

I'm glad, always better to consult with the specialist than to leave him in the hands of non -specialists

The retinographers that are being installed in many places, and that do not need to delay the pupil, have the advantage of being able to detect eye problems before, but do not discriminate what is strange ...
