Type 1 diabetes 14 years ago

Hello everyone:
My name is Marga, I am 28 years old and I am a diabetic since I was 14 years old.
I have never done very well to be diabetic and it is difficult for me to say it in the circles where I move, work, university ... I suppose it is because I do not like people to be aware of what you do, you eat, baby ... althoughYou can do it without problem.
I am currently pregnant and this is giving me a little more strength to talk about my illness.
Greetings to all

Well, congratulations !!!, and welcome to the forum, you will see that here you can share your sorrows and joys and you will always have a lot of people encouraging you.Greetings!!

Well here what you need.Congratulations on pregnancy

I am diabetic since 14 :-)

That you are not ashamed to talk about your illness, that there are more shameful things than that, you have not chosen or avoid it, so to throw forward with a smile.

There is a thread through the pregnant forum, I had my son two years ago, and believe me that he will be super -painted and that the birth will be super good, do not worry about anything, you will have to look at the blood glucose many times to theday and rectifying your blood glucose but apart from that nothing more.

You will see how your child is beautiful and healthy.

And welcome!

What a great reception !!Thank you very much chic@s.

Welcome @marga_rita, my daughter was diagnosed a few months ago, and in January he will 14 years.It is a comfort to tell him that many began at his age ... and as @Aranzaleg told you, that he is not embarrassed, it is already quite hard to live with this to worry about what others think.Maria today has no problem, in fact she has written an article for the magazine of school telling her experience, I was more afraid than her to know, but it was her own decision .... I only hope that with theyears do not change.
Much encouragement, congratulations for your pregnancy and enjoy it that is worth it !!!

@Marga_rita in the first place welcome and congratulations on that pregnancy!As everyone has told you here, zero shame!Here we are all to help us, we and you

Hi @marga_rita I understand you at all.I hide so much my diabetes that now I find myself many times in ridiculous situations for not having told people at the time.I have not overcome it and keep hiding what is not enough that since I am in this forum every day I care a little less that it is known or discovered.In my case I believe that an childhood of people surrounding me demonstrating their penalty is what has caused it now not to take it naturally.It bursts me.Those who sorry or that you cannot eat them and that is why I often prefer that you do not know.
I will tell you that the other day in the locker room I fell in front of a companion the bomb that I have recently carried.I don't even react, he said anything, I picked up the device and we kept talking.I guess there will be hallucinated but he has not told me or mu.Nor do I have a boyfriend or that, so I suppose it is understandable that diabetes is part of our intimacy.

I have always said it and I think that the closest ones must know because they can react if something happens.
@Marga_rita welcome!

@Marga_rita, I do not know if you will have the option, but if you can through the Health Center, Hospital or Intenta Association that approach and talk about the subject, it is still for them to become aware ....
I am trying that from the association they teach a talk in my daughter's school, especially what the Dibetes entails, so that classmates and teachers know that all this is going.They will always pay more attention to what I can tell you.Initially, from school they are very interested, only dates must be agreed.

@Marga_rita I understand you perfectly because the same thing happens to me, I am very angry that they find out that you have diabetes and begin with the canteen of "You cannot eat this", "You cannot do that", etc ...

It relieves me not being the only one !!I was very happy to have decided to register in this forum.Surely I will learn a lot from your experiences and I hope to be helpful for you.All the best!!

I also even tell @marga_rita, some look at you with a sorrow, others begin to treat you like a weirdo, those who love you bad, so to tell ... I don't know, I have not had good experiences when I told him ...

There is a reason gala, there are people who understand and people who get away when you tell them and with that I have suffered a lot

I love saying hahaha.And on the beach the dexcom and the bomb that look good, women look at me more than ever, well and men hahaha

ha ha ha...

I have never had problems saying it, in fact I remember when I told my husband today ..... I had two appointments, and of course you have a coffee nothing happens but when we stayed to dinner it was evident that something would see weird, total that I didn't think of anything other than to say about sopeton "that I'm going to click to the bathroom, Ah!...

Then I wonder things, as I repeated what he had told him, hahaha ... has always been involved in my illness, he has never considered leaving me for that reason, for other reasons I cannot deny you but for diabetesNo.

Of course, I have had partners who have passed more of her, there are the ex, that in the end according to people become ex and already.

The one who loves you have to love you with the good and the bad.

I have never felt rejected.I do not proclaim that I am phonetic, but not hidden.
I always tell my husband: we met healthy and married and the Celiac and I diabetics.The perfect couple! :))

In cases it is when friends are friends, and with the family I don't think there is a problem and if there are them ...It will affect others, yes without making a circus.I always tell him that naturalness and discretion, with this and with everything.

Joe writes from the mobile and that mallll :))

Now you are phonetics, hahaaaa
