Hi Li, so you have a full -fledged diabetes.
Recently they diagnosed you and perhaps you are going through a process of grieving and you feel frustrated by the situation.But it is important that you follow the guidelines that have indicated you, since it is dangerous for you not to do it.
Some clarifications:
- Insulin does not get to lower the sugar and then take it away.It's not like when you have an infection, it is a long -term treatment.It is currently a life treatment.
- I do not understand that you put insulin and also take oral antidiabetics.This should be made with your doctors and clarify it.
- The issue of the diet is especially important at the beginning, while regulating levels and learns to know how your body reacts.Then it is more flexible, as long as you have learned good knowledge of portions and insulin correction.You have to be patient.
- Exercise, it can simply be to walk for an hour a day.It doesn't have to go running or gym.It is about having a minimally active lifestyle.Having a baby as you say it is hard to believe that you do not have an active standard of living, axis.
- Look for support in your husband, tell how you feel, tell him what things you should control and in specific situations you can ask you to take a hand, but the people who envelop you cannot be in charge of your follow the treatment, you are the only oneresponsible.
After all this roll, you should be clear about some things:
- Why do I put the insulin?What insulin do I take?How long does its effect last?
- Basic knowledge of nutrition.What are carbohydrates?How do they affect glucose?What are the portions?How many carbohydrates does a certain food or dish have?
- Why should I have an active life?How does exercise affect my glucose levels?
- How many glucose controls should I make myself up to date?I know how to correct levels?
- I measure the ketone?I know what is it?How should I correct my glycemia when I have cetona?What dangers do you have?
And I think that in broad strokes this is the main thing.Once you control this, you can happen to other more specific things.It depends a lot on the person's ability to adapt to new situations.There are people who want to know everything and people who want the essential information first and then the rest.
If you are not clear the previous points, you should ask for time with the specialist or the educator in diabetes and consult them.
What a roll I've released!
All the best,
