Hello good!My name is Juan Manuel, I am 36 years old, married and father of two beautiful girls (Baba: X) of 4 and 2 years.I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina (more precisely from Lanús).I arrive at the forum thanks to @oscarbrinas that I recommend it.I tell you that debut with diabetes T1 almost a month ago ... It is really when I decided to "confirm it" with a doctor.
A synthesis of how were these last months.
In November last year, make a weight loss diet.Quiet ... 1500 calories daily, nothing hard or complicated.I continued with my usual physical activity (playing football with friends twice a week).10kg down a month and a half approx.So far everything is fine.In the months of January and February that, as they will know, in these parts it is summer, rent a fifth house with pool and grill where I ate a thousand roasts, I took a lot, always with visits of friends and family ... Anyway.Eating and sucking was still getting weight.In mid -January I began to take a lot of liquid (between 8 and 10 liters daily ... a barbarity) every half hour had to go to the bathroom.It was when I began to realize that something was not right.Moreover, when I took my daughters to his pediatrician who is a diabetes specialist, and saw the poster in his office listing the symptoms of type 1 diabetes: loss of abrupt weight and without reason, a lot of thirst, tiredness, etc.,etc...
In May I decided to take my studies and on the 28th of the same month, confirmation.Flying from the office to the hospital to examine the ketone in the urine that, fortunately, did well.It was above 600 glycemia.I don't want to imagine how I came at levels from January to the end of May ...
From the moment I debuted, I was trying to collect tooooodo the information I could and thus found Oscar on his Twitter account.
I had (and I have) to change my lifestyle completely.I had no schedules, I ate when I wanted and what I wanted ... now I have to be attentive notTake the "kit" everywhere ... bah, what all of you do.Some time ago and others do less.

Doubts: I have a thousand.
Fears: others.

But I look at my daughters and give me strength to face anything.This is that I had to live now as "great" and to row.Go ahead as I always did and put your chest to this new way of life.
It is not worth thinking about what would have happened if I did not study, as well as it is not worth depressed and ask "why me?"That's it.There are worse things would say my grandfather.he he

I spread a lot!I didn't plan to write so much.I hope I have not bored them!

I leave a great greeting to everyone and thanks for letting me be part of this forum.

Juanma

Welcome to the forum.You have written a lot because you needed to sincere and tell your case, that is good, because transmitting your emotions you can in good way download that pressure that you can now have.
What I can tell you, you know and have written it well: discipline, will, patience ...
With that firmness you can control your levels and little by little it will cost you less work to do it.
Good luck and here we are here to comment what you want.
A hug.
