Hello!I am Mammen, I am 33 years old and two children.One of 5 years and another of 15 months.
On March 19, my little son, Adrián debut .. Without having a history in the family, as we know clearly ... the issue has taken us from Sopeton and first of all ignorance ...

Adrián had been drinking a lot of water for two weeks and losing weight, at first everyone took importance to me but I didn't see it normal, I started to curose online and most of the things I found was related to Diabetics and I am scared ...

Coji quotes with his pediatrician, and he tells him, he told me that how much would I have lost, I told him that two kilos or so, he told me that if he started walking it is normal that he loses weight and the water was not obsessing either, what would he do itLikewise, an urine analytics, we made it but it took a week to arrive results.That same afternoon when I got home from work, noticTest D The glycemia that I didn't know how that was going ... 595 came out ...

No idea of ​​what does that mean, if a lot .... But the doctor's face told me everything, I ask what was happening ???And he told me, his son is diabetic ... And it comes badly ... with severe ketoacidosis ... at that moment the world came on me, Adrián, being so small I couldn't tell me how he was but his face told me...

We have been 12 days in the hospital, we are already at home.With insulin injections before each meal ...

I hope to get all this ... and have your experiences.

All the best

Welcome to the forum, in my case, the debut was at 25, so the experience you explain has put me chicken skin.

I recommend that you go through Coexivir-with-Diabetes-Padres-Paras-Amigos-Diabetes-Tipo-F20/ There you will find other parents who can advise you.

Na, calmly, logically for telling you in some way diabetes is a disease, but you don't worry, it is a child, and learn to bring their illness very well, if you will not see in the parents section the cases there are, you just have toBe patient, he will get used to everything you do, and never stop telling him what happens to him.

I hope this forum will help you just as it has been to me, and you will see how the Leon is not as fierce as they paint it.

All the best.

Hello Momme, the same thing happened to me too a year ago my son was 17 months.6.8 Hears it very well and eats everything. Being such young children is sometimes difficult because they want things that the same at that time cannot take but well you have to try to take it as well as possible because for me the most important thing is that mySon is good and that as far as possible I do the same as the other children.

Thank you very much for your reception ...
I hope this weekend to be able to enter the forum more and soak up all the information there is, which is a lot ... the experience of others is better than any doctor ..
I do not know what level of hemoglobin he has ... At the moment the pediatrician continues to see in his consultation every Friday and he changes doses of insulin .. I suppose there will be what level and then continue with other things, I do not know....
That level that means ???I think I remember that I enter with 11 ... but I'm not sure I would have to look at him in the medical report ...
And the honeymoon phase, when does it enter ??
Aiii q of doubts for God ...

Mamme is normal for you to have doubts, and more when it is a son of which it is, but you will see how shortly those doubts will disappear and you will take an authentic proflsional, and more with what you learn here.

Hi Momme,

Welcome and a lot of whole for the first moments that the most difficult.In a short time you will make an expert in diabetes and your baby will pursue their glycemia.

I don't think your baby will have a honeymoon because it is very small and will hardly have its own insulin reserve.Don't worry about it, not everyone happens.

Welcome to the forum,

The honeymoon is the first phase of diabetes and the smaller last time.I debuted with three years and my mother told me not to pass the honeymoon.Nor do you get bad for this, because although it is a phase in which less insulin is needed, many times the lack of control is greater.

Your child is very tiny, and you are sure to ask yourself a thousand questions.I have my mother's memory, having a really bad time when I debuted and that was two more years.Everything is normalized, and from your own experience, you can make a totally normal life :)

I encourage mammen, I debut with 3 years and for the child the worst is the moment of injections when you already realize, but if you have this good, it is going to get used to quickly being so small.I know people who have debuted as adults and have a very bad time to do to their new situation that changes them a little the life they already had.
From my point of view the best thing to do with a small child to which diabetes are diagnosed is to educate it since you have use of reason and learn as soon as possible to distinguish your sensations.
As for the parents, form and take it with patience that then everything is normalized.
Encouragement and strength !!

Hi Mammen, especially value.
I can tell you that the godmother of my eldest daughter is diabetic since the age of 8 is 40 years old and is the person who gives me the most when I see her, for her her life is totally normal and there is even some tastes that I cannot (I am I amType 2), seeing it I realize that you can, you really can,
He is also a happy and beautiful person as a person, for those who debut older I realize that things are not so easy.
I encourage, your child will be fine and the rest of the family too,
greetings

As they say above, you have to have respect, but without fear.That as science progresses this becomes less problematic.
