alberto_13 said: By the way I would like to know things that you did before and that diabetes prevents you
More than preventing ... I would say that it makes it difficult, that is, I can do practically the same as before, but it is true that I have to have more planning and foresight, in addition to loading with a "emergency" kit for hypos, meters, etc...

@Fer: Thank you for this last comment. With few words you have perfectly defined that it is to live with diabetes.

Is k with diabetes true, you have to supervise with the gluco the glycemic measurements etc But and k passes?
But you have diabetes you can walk walking, etc. Make hiking etc. You can eat Etcetc and it is already known to a hyper can appear x any factor, reason .. or simply xk yes.
Diabetes is thus mysterious rare of balls (sometimes) pk in one day you are in rank and you say "oh k well" but throughout that day your blood glucose changes and you don't know what you owe and you start to eat your head etcAnd that is not good. Before a very high hyper it is best to put a solution and not scratch or obsess.The same kon an hip.
Solution.Pk before a hyper or hip instead of rating etc. It is to remedy ipso facto.If the sensations k have the hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic symptoms are unpleasant but thanks to these symptomatological sensations we can detect if we are in hiccum and hyper and put immediate remedy pk against more it is kept one more is ralle etc etc etc etcatalking.Many say they can't do anything or k cost this diabetes.
Let's think about those people with multiple sclerosis or with parkison or people are prostrated in a chair for life and k cannot use themselves to themselves have someone next to me to help them there are kienes have diseases k cannot do anything or walkNot even dancing anything just laughing to be happy with what k has touched pk there are people who are worse k we have diabetes and they smile so they try to enjoy how they can and are admiring.

Before being a diabetic I was going to worry all night, I ate what I wanted, traveling without kit or medications or regrigerator, worked without eating many days, etc, etc, etc.He traveled to adventure, from snacks or whatever.In family meals there were no problems, everything was worth.And if he regime, he lost weight.
Now I am monitored, I carry an emergency kit, the insulins, the refrigerated bag because it is hot, I have to make separate food in family gatherings, cut in work on time in a hypoglycemia, travel with double of everything in itself ...And on work trips a problem with meals to which I invite me, times and schedules. I just left a company cocktail and I have not been able to eat anything, all great, with a great pint but a lot of hydrate.
The tranquility is simply over.
And of course happy not having something worse, but I don't want anyone.It is slavery.

Are you worried about your daughter, in any case, who worries her first?Would you be calm if she didn't have DM?Wouldn't you worry or more other vicissitudes of your life?
DM3c desde 2018; hb 6 % (feb.. 2022) (tresiba+fiasp+metformina)
@Alberto_13, because it is not what worries him most because he has it quite automated, but it is another load in his life, and I hope that only that for a long time. He has ever told me that he does not know why they have not granted him a disability when I requested it as a child, so he will see that the difficulty to face life is much greater with diabetes than without her.

Ay komo you complicate some ains you can do the same things k you did before diabetes.With diabetes you can travel to party etc etc etc what happens that within that "normality" we have to carry the material k if juices etc But carrying that does not imply a problem.And you take the sensor if K you can party travel etc.But the K do not carry the sensor is a bit more complicated pk they would have to be crushing their fingers to know how sugar has.Suppose k a diabetic person with a sensor K carries everything you need, it is partying .. okay, and at half k you pass the second minutes ..... that person can be measured with the sensor to see how it is of sugar andAccording to this, you can act according to the situation or circumstance. And and up.And tb you can eat foods with a lot of HC (not every day) but if (every x time) K nothing happens .. for example Chinese food or other meals with a high HC!You couldn't eat every day.But if letting spend a few weeks or a few months. Meals with few HC regularly Meals with many HC occasionally or punctually.And for all xD

@Alberto_13 It is not necessary to go to the extremes. Diabetes is not equal to being unhappy or not being diabetic is not happiness adds.
Define happiness .... impossible, for each person it is different and according to their circumstances, culture, aptitude to life, religion, etc, etc, etc.
Diabetes is an exclavitude if you want to be fine.There are other diseases that are not so exclavated and dependent, and there are also a lot, but that much worse.It is not about comparing.
In this post, those who have written try to explain how diabetes have changed their lives, as the day to day and the limitations that are, of course, "subjectively" are overwhelmed.What may seem vain to me, another may seem to climb the top of the world.
Main legislated and oversized limitations: - Not conducting any public transport means - Not part of any security body of the State, Community or Municipality - Not being a firefighter - Renew the driving card more frequently - Do not donate blood - Do not donate organs - Problems with health insurance if you manage to do it - They don't make life safe
And surely I leave more.In some companies they would not hire you ....
That a foot hurts, because you are nothing to the lame leg, that you lack a “calm” eye, you still have the other one, that gives you a downturn “sugar” and it already goes up, that you cannot leave because it gave youA hiccovers, you stay at home, that gives you a hiccI always like comparing myself with the best not with the worst, diabetes is a pure shit and should retire before and above all, that they look for a cure, I want my life before, the one who looks good that he stays withHis diabetes, I rename her ,,,,

Nobody from here wants to be diabetic and much less than their children.It is understandable that there are those who are overwhelmed or distressed, but it is not lawful to try to propagate that discouragement.Sharing yes, but insult who does not sink with you in the lodazal, it will not.

@Alberto_13, I think nobody talks about sinking into the lodazals, rather the opposite.When talking about granting a certain degree of disability, or as it is called now, it is to facilitate life, not to complicate it. They give it to who lacks a finger, and this is much more complicated. We are not talking about tragedies, but a pending life of controls, medication and symptoms that can reach serious. You can live quite well with diabetes, but you have to take care of it 24 hours and it has its limitations.

My mother.I go now on the forum and ... the one you have involved!It looks like Twitter: d Basic concepts: Is diabetes a shit?Yeah Is diabetes enslave?Yeah Can you be happy with diabetes?Yeah Can you live bitter with diabetes?Yeah. Diabetes is there, it is not eligible.Your attitude towards life suffering from diabetes is your choice.You can change it whenever you want.You can be grumpy pitufo, you can be plañidero or you can face every day with joy and enjoy many things. Can you make normal life?No It is limiting but not invalidating. Courage, the weekend begins, you have to make plans

Life is not a path of roses or slavery.You may need help.
Nooo, nobody has caught it?I am alive, my wife and my children are alive, we have nothing terminal or painful, we have to eat and pay the mortgage and the light, our family and friends are fine, diabetes, what diabetes?ahh if you expect you to skewer in 1 second and come back. What is difficult to understand like this?

Look Andrés, I am going to tell you my personal experience and it is before being diabetic.I got along very badly with my mother, I was totally different from her and did not admit myself right because of that, always arguing. My mother had an enviable life.He did not work or be at home and despite that he did not feel satisfied.He said there were people who lived even better.In my environment, mothers for me were worse.Many worked out and at home, others only at home (the most ungrateful) and she nothing.Well, when I told me, he told me that he always had to be compared with! So you are always dissatisfied.The feeling of happiness is that, a sensation and much depends on us.The poor suddenly came a "rare" disease, corticobasal degeneration is called (look for it on Google), and it was the worst thing I have lived (much worse than diabetes and it was not in me).You are losing connection of the neurons and in the end he was 2/3 years with the perfect head without being able to move a finger, nor speak, or eat, knowing that his end was that the lungs already stopped and drowning, as it was. The fact is that it remained that this is a shit of life, that I do not want for me.The rest are situations to solve and cope with. And the penalty that gives me is that when he had a full life he was not able to enjoy it continuously comparing those who were better. That is why I think that life is not a path of roses, but while we can be happy, we go to it, that it happens fast.

When Andrés says that we must not compare with the worst, it is a way of saying not to fall into the minimization of the weight that implies carrying this disease every day.Compare we always compare ourselves because that is how human behavior is, but it is not that we select with those who compare ourselves.It is obvious that no one is satisfied with having diabetes, which differentiates us in speech is mainly the experience and stages of life. I do not know anyone's life here, only that we are diabetic.People use different strategies not to fall into that paranoia spiral of diabetes, but we cannot minimize their effects on our lives.Comparing myself with someone who was worse is a bad strategy, but someone works for him. I notice that most of those who are exhausted are the ones who have dealt for a longer time with this disease, the type I that came as a young man.And the reason is clear!It is not the same to have diabetes with 20 years to have it with 50, and to add, it is not the same to have diabetes for 5 years than to have started it in the last century.It is not for taking prominence to type II or whom the diabetes already old or more recently came to them, because it would sincerely give prominence on this occasion.Who live this disease from young people, they know what I'm talking about ... Recently, looking for answers in the forum, I read someone who had young diabetes 10 years ago and told how diabetes "never abandons you" putting an example that for some reason was very representative.II laughed and cried ... In such an example, I said a lot.Diabetes accompanies you, always and forever: permanently in your head, in all your activities, in your social and public life, in your private life, in your future for complications, it does not leave you when you are on vacation or when you arehaving sex.The name of this disease is as a load, more mental than physical (although also physical). And here two things, being 12 or 20 years old and knowing what a whole life with diabetes awaits you implies another greater weight.The other one, I think that being older relieves the load because as the years go by, a less agitated and improvised life is required, and that allows some people to get better the diabetes and their routine demands.I also read many who started young people with type 1 and make contributions full of wisdom, but do not minimize the load or compare to anyone.I am left with it.
Another thing that I also notice is that in the forum all of us who think are users of insulin pumps or continuous glucose monitors.Those who continue using ribbons are not, not because they have renounced but because they have another experience, similar to that of those who had to face the beginning of the disease many years ago.Again, I would give the prominence here, but it is easy to be optimistic when you did not have to make up and frustrate with a system that makes it more difficult, chronifying your illness and making the treatment inaccessible.In Uruguay, the tapes began to be given as a mutualist ticket only in 2009 and a box per month (before they were inaccessible by prices) and the free freestyle can be purchased at a price that is not subsidized and is not cheap, justFrom 2020 (if you wanted to buy it before, you had to go to Argentina).I can pay free freestyle but unfortunately there are many people who don't.That hurts and frustrates, rather than leaving myself satisfied because I can have good control unlike those who cannot pay it .. it would be like comparing me with those who are worse and sincerely it does not work for me!When I read that a possible cure is about to come out,I always calculate the time it could take to reach me, and after a while, between the first give access to the children, the bias between Europe and Latin America, the costs it can imply, etc.Maybe so many years and experiences with diabetes make a big difference ..

@Lauraa in my case yes. I never went to the child's doctor and my first blood analytics was in the medical examination of the first company that hired me. According to my first endocrine, that saved me from debuting in diabetes as a girl or adolescent.
