Hello everyone,
I am 41 years old and had been with an empty stomach for two years.I took care of myself, not much, but I took care of me.
Moreover, I am nothing sweet and did not try even sweets or desserts, I even took sugar infusions.
My wife convinced me to go to the endocrine and, what happens to go to the doctor, sends me an analytical and zas!Glucose 145, hemoglobin A1c 6.3 (which, as I have read, is not bad), insulin ac 4,3, but gad/64 antibody gave 3.9.
Total, that the endo tells me on January 20: "Sorry, you have type I diabetes, more specifically lada diabetes, and that I have to start with insulin, but that before I have to start measuring the glucose levels to calculateThe dose "and puts me a diet of 1,500 calories (I have lost almost 6 kilos, it does not seem much, but I have gone from 64 kilos to 58).
After various adventures to get a glucometer and strips, and after checking that with the diet I have had some glucose throughout the day in different meals, before and after, between 80 and 128 except for some exception (167), he tells me that ofWe post the insulin moment until the next review next Friday, to do the controls, but not every day, but every three, and that I would not obsess me with the diet, since it is not responsible for my diabetes, which is ofImmune type.
And here I am waiting for Friday with fear (I have enough respect for the needles), but we will have to get used to it, as my grandfather would say, "by force hang up."
Although it is not an unknown disease for me, since I have had a non -direct relative (an uncle) and my greatest grandfather who had type 2, I do have enough doubts and this forum is being very helpful.
Greetings to all.
