Good to all :) My name is Paola Castaño, I am 20 years old and I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes two weeks ago.It has been quite hard for me to accept this disease with which I live all my life, I have cried like never, I have wondered why, any discomfort that I have in my body is scared and there are times it seems to me as unreal.

Already more aware of my condition, I look at the positive side as I eat healthier and I can have a better body hahaha: P!I have already begun exercising, as healthy and I appreciate every day that I wake up to my God that I can stay alive, I speak to my pancreas and kiss my feet, my arms, my legs !!!It may sound like crazy, but I show my body how much I love him and that allows me to continue standing with any complication in the future.

For those of us who have diabetes, we decide how to live, if we want to be lamenting or enjoy how beautiful it is to live !!

When I am filled with negative thoughts, I say good, wait !!You have the ability to attract things, createmee !!And I try to see the most positive thing I can !!

I want to have the healthiest life that I can and I will fight for it, it will not be 100% normal again, there will be some limitations, but ourselves decide if we want to be happy or take pain.

Well !!My best wishes for the people of this forum.God bless you :)

Welcome Paola.
I have been diagnosed for a month and a half, and things are seen better, because in the end your life does not change as much as you think, just take care of yourself, but you can do everything.Surely later we will be fed up with clicking every day and such, but I suppose it will go for times.
At the moment I already have it much better than the first days, except my panic to the needles, which although it is less, still scares me.
You will see how in a short time you will feel better with diabetes and learn to live with her, but leading your life without limiting you to do anything.
A kiss.

Alberto

Much encouragement, Paola.Nor do you get the idea that you are going to live with it all your life.You are very young.I already have 60 and I don't think I know immediate advances in this disease, but in your case surely.
Take care and try to be happy, that you can surely get it.
A hug.

Hello and welcome to the sweet world of diabetes ... I premiered in diabetes on January 6 of this year and just a month ago they managed to say what guy it was (in my case type two) ... fortunate or unfortunately thisIt is a self -granted disease, so how good or bad that you feel will depend to a greater extent of what one does, that what doctors can do ... so it is best to learn to live with this condition and gochoosing day by day the way you want to feel and do (obviously) what corresponds to your promoting the best conditions for your health status ...

Although I have very little living or learning to live with this condition, if I can say without fear of making mistakes that life does not end ... she will continue with us and without us ... so as long as we are here it will be best to take the partyIn peace and enjoy as much as possible ... this has implied important changes in my life, but none that has been insurmountable and what I can tell you is that the biggest sequel, the greatest side effect with which I have found myself, isThat when you do that of taking care of yourself, it invariably comes a thing of self -esteem that definitely cannot be bad and today I can assure you that I feel more alive than before ...

Success ... And then, anything here will find someone willing to guide you or at least listen to you ...

A hug...

Hello, I am new ... in the forum, because with type I diabetes I have been 32 years old, we have been 3;The only thing I am looking for is to change impressions with people with this same disease, and above all to know someone (even if for chat) who has been with it for more years since I still do not know anyone, even in the specialist's consultation.
Greetings to all.
