Hello, as you can see, I am new and type II diabetis diagnosed 1 month ago approx.and with metformin 1/2 -0 - 1/2.
I have many doubts and I hope you can help me.
I tell you, I have high triglycerides for years and I take atorvastatin (1 daily), in addition I also took Adiro by prevention since I got out like a spot, although then then to perform all the tests a cardiologist told me it was from birth.
Ok, now a month ago approx.They do me analysis for triglyceride and I get that I have 127 fasting sugar, the doctor tells me that I can be diabetic but that you have to repeat analysis and also check glucosylated hemoglobin.They repeat them and get 157 and glucosylated hemoglobin 8.1, which confirms that I am type II diabetic and there begins "my ordeal."
I have forgotten to indicate that I am 47 years old and always overweight.
I say that my ordeal began there, because it is so, since I have a nurse who seems more important to control my weight, which I do not care to be fat, than the sugar that is what IIt seems important.
He has insisted on diet to lower weight, but with some closed menus in which what most has sugar (I do not understand), in addition to what he marks in the menus, although I cannot do the 5Meals, due to my work schedules, I try to get closer to them.
Well, I went to the second control that he did to me and he told me that very well, that the weight was the same and the sugar at 118 (on an empty stomach), to continue like this;On Friday I went to the third control and went anger that he took, it turns out that he had 126 on an empty stomach and had fattened 700 grs.(He wore new shoes, hahahahaha), and to that we add a tension of 14.1 and 8.8
You did not see how he got, he got angry, but .................. Because he had fattened 700 grs.
I told him that I cared more sugar level than weight and she didn't, that he had to lower weight and had to lower weight and ........................, I change the menu and give me some week, but with incoherent things because he tells me that he does not eat ham for the salt and then I have 3 days of eating anchovies 8 that he told me they were a can), he sends me to eat from4 to 5 pieces of fruit a day, including dinner, everything goes without quantities with which I can eat the amount you want, but of course, as I say incoherent things, because there is a day that I owe of dinner onion, tomato, fish and fruit, But ............. the onion carries sugar and the fruit too and is dinner.
Since they told me it was diabetic, I have been fighting to give me the machine to measure glucose, and there is no way, they tell me that they do not give it to me, that I go daily if I want the consultation to measure it (thingthat I cannot) and that the reason why they do not give it to me is because of the crisis that there is and that the reactive strips are very expensive, but .......... If I go daily to the consultation will be what it will be whatright ???
Well, thank God, I have acquaintances who weigh more than the nurse and the doctor I have and have achieved a little machine so that I can control the levels when I want it or when I make a copious meal or to know what meals make me make thatI get the sugar more and be able to avoid them.
But I still have many doubts.Yesterday 113 came out on an empty stomach (I had a salad and iron fish) and today 118 (I had some mushrooms and iron fish).
I have to say that I do not follow the menus that told me because as I said, I do not see them coherent, my meals are:
Breakfast: A glass (of the wine) of milk with a little coffee and saccharin and a slice of roasted whole bread.
Food: vegetable with a potato shit, any type of meat with or without garrison.
rice (meat or fish)
Pasta with tomato and minced meat, any type meat with or without garrison.
legume
salads ofany kind
Dinner: Save and Meat or Fish.
Lunches and snacks: Depending on my work shift: a pair of cold slices or turkey and a half sliced breadcrumbs (which I do toas).
In all meals as a piece of whole wheat bread (not eaten without bread).
I walk every day an hour, in addition to everything I walk in my work, which is enough.
According to the nurse, this is wrong, as bad, and what I am in my work is not to walk (I would like it).
According to other diabetics as well, hehehehe, because they tell me that he eats the same thing before knowing that it was diabetic, but that it takes a part, to see, that if for example I like a 4 -fighter soup plate, thenThat is now 3.
I no longer know what to do, if as little, I'm folding and dizzy because I need more and if as more, according to the nurse, I get the weight and go.
I would thank me as you do, which is what I should do, what the nurse tells me, what other diabetics tell me or what I believe.
Thanks to everyone and I wait for your comments.
